the benchers giving as a reason that they could not do less,
seeing the readiness with which Mr. Edwin James was
admitted to the bar in New York—a civility which they
felt bound to reciprocate. It might be possible to arrange
a general system of exchange, by which the obnoxious
characters of each bar might be transferred to the other on
equitable terms, and balances struck at the end of every
year. Mr. Benjamin, we are afraid, however, is more
tndebted to his career as a Confederate for the refuge in
which be now nestles, than to the auspicious appearance
of Mr. James on our horizon.—New York Nation, June 18.

MIILIGRATION !BOY LIVE/WOOL. —Yesterday the
emigration officials at the port of Liverpool completed
their usual monthly and quarterly returns of the emigra-
tion from the Mersey. During the month ending June,
there sailed from Liverpool, in 25 ships under the act, to
the United States, 8,430 steerage and '321 cabin passen-
gers, of whom 2,637 were English, 242 Scotch, 3,490 Irish,
and 2,061 foreigners—total, 8,751. To Canada, there were
4 skips, with 1,029 steerage and 93 cabin passengers ; of
whom 319 were English, 127 Irish, and 583 foreigners,
making a total of 1,122. To Nova Scotia, there was only
1 ship, with 368 steerage and 3 cabin passengers, of whom
298 were English, 56 Scotch, 13 Irish, and I foreigner—
total-371. To Victoria, there were 2 ships, with 450 steer-
age, and 13 cabin passengers, of whom 114 were English, 36
Scotch, and 295 Insh—total, 4631 which makes a grand total
of 32 ships under the act, w .th 10,707 passengers, of
whom 3,373 were English, 334 Scotch, 3,925 Irish, and
2,645 foreigners. When compared with the emigration
during the previous month of May, there is the extraordi-
nary decrease of 6,865. However, this sudden decline in
the exodus is accounted for b a large number of the
1 intending emigrants, instead of taking immediate
shipment,e going to the English harvest, so
that
stoppage
will be only temporary ; the
' moment the harvest is ended the emigration, the
government officials assert, will recommence afresh. The
number of ships sailing, not under the set, to the United
States during June, were 2, with 330 passengers ; to
Victoria, 1, with 21 passengers ; to New Brunswick, I, with
5 passengers ; to South America, 5, with 101 passengers ;
to the West Indies, 2, with 6 passengers ; and to Africa, 1,
with 25 paseengers ; making a total of 12 ships and 488
passengers. When compared with the quarter ending
March last, there is an increase in the .quarter just ended
of 14,289 passengers • and a corresponding increase over
the same period of last year of 7,619 passengers. The cabin
passengers in the ships under the act are not classified as
to nationalities.

ADDUCTION OP • VOTER.-EDINBURGH, JULY 2. -
At the High Court of Judiciary, to-day, John Douglas
and James Irving were convicted of the abduction of
Thomas Wallace, to pprevent him voting at the contested
election for Wigtonshire last July. The prisoners drove
Wallace, intoxicated, 35 miles, and detained him under
the retence that he was quite near • polling place, and
he did not reach Stranraer till after the close of the poll.
The trial lasted ten hours. The jury, after being absent
half an hour, returned • verdict of guilty, and the pri-
soners were sentenced to two months' imprisonment each.
Wallace intended to vote for Lord Willies, the conserva-
tive candidate.

Sox-STRUCK Skr.ttorr.—Several hundreds of
salmon and salmon trout were found upon Burgh Marsh, on
the Cumberland shore of the Solway Firth, last week, under
very extraordinary circumetances. Many were lying dead
upon the marsh, where they had been left dry by the re-
ceding tide, and others were floating languidly about in the
small pools of water on the shore, in a sickly and dying
state. As the coestguardsmen had been exercising a close
surveillance over the nets at Baynes, and Port Carlisle
during the week, it was at first conjectured that these fish
had been thrown out by fishermen who had been infringing
the law by Hailing at improper time'. This supposition,
however, proved Incorrect ; and the conjecture that they
had been poisoned was also abandoned as absurd. Old
fishermen of the district have now arrived at the conclu-
sion that the salmon, in making their way up the shallow
water near the estuaries of the rivers, had been visited by
something like a sunstroke, the weather having been
hotter than had been experienced for many years. The
fish were picked up by the inhabitants of the district, to
whom they afforded many cheap and dainty meals.

family. Under any circumstances it would have been a
source of gratification to me to be present on such an occa-
sion as this, but more especially when I have been invited
by my own brother, and have the pleasure of supporting
him on the first occasion of his taking the chair as master
of this company. (Cheers.) Perhaps you will allow me
on this occasion merely to mention that after the death of
that distinguished and lamented statesman whose loss we
must always deplore, the office of master was most kindly
offered to me by the brethren of this company.
(Cheers.) I begged to decline ; at least I begged to offer
the suggestion that the office should be offered to my bro-
ther, who was far more fit to undertake its duties.
(Loud cheers.) Among the distinguished personages who
are present an this occasion, it is, you will allow me to
say, very gratifying to have the honour of the presence of
his Majesty the King of th 3 Belgians. (Cheers.) After
the very kind manner in which he has spoken of his
attachment to this country—which I know is a real attach.
went, and not merely a form of words, because I have
often heard the same sentiment expressed by him in pri-
vate—(cheers)—after such expressions from his Majesty I
think I may say that we, as Englishmen, feel a strong
attachment to his country—a country distinguished in its
own position among the nations of the Continent, and
a country for which his ever-lamented father did so much.
I beg to thank you for the honour you have done me in
drinking my own health, coupled with the health of her
Royal Highness the Princess of Wales and the other mem-
bers of the royal family. (Loud sheers.)
His Royal Highness the MASTER, in proposing the next
toast, said—l now propose to you a toast which is never
left out on any public occasion ; it is " The Army, the
Navy, and the Volunteers." With the army I would
associate Sir John Burgoyne, who bears a distinguished
name ; with the navy that of Sir F. Grey ; and with the
volunteers that of Lord Spencer. (Lotul cheers.)
General Sir John Burgoyne responded for the army;
Admiral Sir F. Grey for the navy ; and Lord Spencer for
the volunteers.

The Deputy-Master, Captain ARROW, proposed " The
health of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh,"
1 which was drank with great cheering.
His Royal Highness the PLANTER, in returning thanks,
said—l thank you sincerely for the manner in which you
have responded to the toast which has been so eloquently
given by the deputy-master. I thank you, Captain
Arrow, for the kind expressions you have used
in proposing the toast. I feel that you have
said a great deal too much with reference
to myself. (Cheers.) I cannot say how proud I feel to
have had the office conferred upon me which to-day for the
first time I fill in connexion with this ancient and distin-
guished corporation. The only thing that would make me
feel more proud in following my immediate predecessor is
. being able to follow in the footsteps of my revered
father. (Cheers.) You have alluded to him in touching
terms. lam sure you all remember the support be gave
to this corporation. (Cheers.) It would be out of place
ro say anything about the corporation itself, having so
tecently joined it. I can only again thank you for the
honour you have done me in drinking my health. I assure
you I feel a great pride in filling for the first time the db.
tinguished office of master of this corporation. (Loud
cheers.)
His Royal Highness the Mamma, in proposing the next
toast, said the toast woe more particularly addressed to 1
the guests—he hoped they would all drink it with enthu-
siasm—it was, " Prosperity to the Corporation of the Tri-
nity-house." (Cheers.) They had done him the honour
of drinking his health as master ; but he should associate
this toast with the health of the deputy-master, who,
he might say, was the most important master in the cor-
poration, for the master was merely an honorary officer.
Captain Arrow was the working man. (Cheers.) He there-
fore begged to drink " Prosperity to the Corporation and
the health of Captain Arrow, the deputy-master."
Captain ARROW returned thanks, and proposed " The
Health of the Duke of Argyll and the honorary members
of the corporation."
The Duke of ARGTLL returned thanks in an eloquent
speech.
Lord Tauirrox proposed " Prosperity to the Maritime
and Commercial Interests of the Country," which was loudly
cheered, associated with the health of the President of the
Board of Trade.

Mr. M. GIBSON, in returning thanks, said—There is one
quality which public speakers do not always poems', and
which I think at this hoar will be rather in favour, and
that is the quality of brevity. Now, I shall express myself,
in returning thanks in a very few words. I see the deviation
in the terms of the tosat—the maritime interests and the
trade of England no longer connected with the President
of the Board of Trade, and I am requested to return
thanks. It struck me I ran some chance of being ch►rged
with the offence which is sometimes practised at contested
elections—namely, that of personation. (A laugh.)
But having been for many years past Presi-
dent of the Board of Trade, I can say that
I believe my successor will find that amongst the
first duties that will devolve upon him there will be none
more important or more interesting than those he will
have to discharge in co-operation with this learned body,
and I believe he will find that disposition in the Trinity
Corporation to co-operate harmoniously and to assist ass-

" An accident, of which," says the Times, " the
consequences might have been very serious, happened to
the Prince of Wales, in Rotten-row, about a qua ter-past
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. His royal highness, who
was riding ►t a foot's pace with one of his equerries and
two ladies, had just reached the extreme end of the Row,
nearest to Queen's-gate, and was in the act of turning,
when a gentleman, who seemed to have lost all control
over his horse, suddenly dashed at full speed down
the incline, and into the very midst of the party.
The Prince's horse, being right in the path of the
charging horseman, and receiving the shock on its flank,
or shoulder, • was instantly knocked down, turning over
like a rabbit struck by shot, and apparently rolling upon
its rider, while the intruder passed clear over both. For
a moment it seemed impossible that the Prince coeld
escape without injury to life or I,mb from the struggles of
his own horse. He disengaged himself, however, and got
up without assistance, though at first he looked
somewhat shaken, and as if suffering front a blow
on the head. Recovering almost immediately, and
never losing his self-possession for a moment, he
seated himself on a bench close by, while the
horse was being caught, and his hat and cane picked
up by the bystanders. Long before any great crowd of
equestrians had time to collect he had mounted again,
and, rejoining the ladies, was riding homeward as if
nothing had occurred, but not without some visible traces
of the fall upon his face and dress. It was altogether a
very narrow escape, as the few who witnessed it can tes-
tify, and the Prince's composure in a very trying posi-
tion did great credit to his presence of mind and good-
humour. If not quite unhurt, he may well congratulate
himself on having come off with nothing worse than a few
bruises from a collision that might easily have proved
fatal."

Another account says that the Prinoe, seeing that a con-
cussion was inevitable, disengaged his feet from the
stirrup-irons, and fell clear of the horse. The concussion
came with such force that the Prince's horse was dashed
down, rolling over and over. The other ►nimal did not
fall, but continued its onward career. His royal highness
was not much hurt, but he must have received an
awkward twist, for the heel of his boot with the spur
thereon was subsequently picked up by a groom on the
spot where the accident took place. So little was the
Prince discommoded by the accident that in the evening
he was present at the royal banquet at the Trinity-house,
and at the ball given by the Turkish Ambsasador.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—PORTENOUTH, JULY 2. —An
accident, resulting in the loss of two lives, occurred be-
tween Portsmouth and Sou.hsea, on Saturday last. It
appears that one of the tutors of North Grove-house Naval
.A.tidemy, named Cuthill, accompanied by two of the
pupil', named Forbes and WHAM, hired a sown
sailing boat on Southsea beach, and sailed out
towards Spithead. She rounded some of the ships
at anchor there, and shaped the boat's course
towards the shore. Having proceeded some distarce the
breeze freshened and • sudden puff of wind capsised the
boat. All three were thrown into the water, and Mr. Cut-
hill and O'Hara, who were good swimmers, for some time
supported Forbes, in the hope that assistance might reach
them. Finding, however, that their position was not
observed, O'Hara was requested by Mr. Cuthill to swim
towards the staging on the Spit Shoal, but before
he reached there, and when nearly exhausted, be
was picked up by a yacht. He made known the
accident which had befallen him and his companions,
and the yacht sailed over the place indicated as the
position where the boat ospoised, but nothing was seen of
Mr. Cuthill or of the unfortunate boy whose life he at-
tempted to save, and in so doing lost his own. Forbes was '
the son of the Rev. Granville HanilLon Forbes, of Broughton
Rectory, Kettering, and was being educated for the navy, ,
for which he had obtained the nomination to a cadetship.
Neither of the bodies had, up to an early hoar this after-
noon, been found.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 3.

THE official Report made by Mr. R. B. Cane,
poor-law inspector, touching the results of the in_
quiry which he lately held into the complaints of
Matilda Becton in reference to the treatment of
the sick in the Strand Union Workhouse, is a
document worthy of some attention. It is

perusal of the evidence, as reported at the
time, had left upon our minds a very distinct im_
pression that there was an average of 200 cases of
sickness in the house, and that the " sick-wards '.
proper held only 20 patients each, with which
number they were too full, while the sick were
scattered over the house in wards, some of which
gave them one-half of the space of the " sick-wards"
proper. Mr. Cane, however, in the paragraph in
which he analyses this part of the evidence entirely
omits to say that the 40 sick in these wards consti-
tuted only one-filth of the whole number, and that
the remaining one hundred and sixty had to com_
plain moat. Dr. Rogers, however, in his evidence,
as given here, states very distinctly, "My dissatis-
faction with the sick-wards proper was not so
marked as with the rest of the house."

In the second section—the insufficient nursing
and attendance upon the sick—Mr. Cane makes
omissions still more remarkable. In addition to
the general ignorance, venality, and brutality of
pauper nurses as a class, particular illustrations
were given in evidence of a character so graphic
as to have impressed the memory of most readers.
One of these was the story of Bolaham, the pauper
nurse, who, in order that ho might steal the gin
which he had procured for a dying man, made a
mustard plaster without orders, and clapped it on
with one hand to conceal his stealing the gin
bottle from under the pillow with the other. The
story had reached our oars before this in-
quiry was held, and it appeared first in
those columns. Everyone will remember that,
being questioned, Dr. Rogers gave the details
of this horrible example of the tender mercies of a
drunken pauper placed in charge of a room-full of
sick people. This part of the evidence appeared in
all the papers, but, strangely enough, it has dropped
through Mr. Cane's fingers altogether, and does
not appear either in the depositions or in his ana-
lysis of them. Again, he altogether omits here
that which it was, above all things, just and proper
to state in analysing the evidence. Dr. Rogers
deposed that he thought that the discovery that
this man robbed the sick, and the confession of
the master that it would be difficult to find any
nurse to put in his place, afforded a good opportunity
for " applying to the board for paid assistance."
And the master undertook to do so. He did make
that application to the visiting committee of guar-
dians, but they refused it ; and it was then that
they appointed the now historical potboy, who,
with the assistance of a consumptive patient,
brought the ward into a pitiful state of confusion,
and by their combined weakness and ignorance
caused sonic of the worst instances of neglect. Not
only does Mr. Cane entirely omit this most im-
portant evidence, but he deliberately ignores it, for
he states elsewhere that Dr. Rogers had made no
representations to the guardians as to the nursing
of the sick. By what official logic he reconciles
that statement with the evidence before him (p. 18),
and printed as the appendix, we are unable to
say ; but it certainly discloses a very strong and
decided bias in favour of the guardians and against
their medical officer. This bias is shown towards
the end of the Report in a very remarkable
and unusual way. Mr. Cane is not content with
what he calls an analysis of the evidence, that is, a
very elaborate and flimsy defence of the system
which led to such detestable cruelties, and the men
who administered it, but he suggests a series of
beliefs which he thinks tend to prove their posi-

r

tion—beliefs which are not supported )y 4-of thi;
testimony, but which are the resultlki;somegdssipiti
has heard in quarters he seems Ito th*se nottbn
name. Some of this gossip he inig/ti, :malt a little I
more pains, have learnt to be extremely inaccurate.
Mr. Cane is evidently no friend to the Association for
Improving the London Workhouse Infirmaries, and
he goes out of his way testate inthe first page that he
understands Dr. Rogers to be a member of that As-
sociation ; he suggests that the guardians might,
"if they had thought it right," have alleged that
" although he had made no report to them against
carpet beating they had, out of consideration,
abandoned the work which had so long existed
under their predecessors in office." Mr. Cane,
it is seen, cannot avoid making a reflection
upon the medical officer. Had he gone,
however, a little deeper into the matter
he would have found, what nearly all London
knows, that the guardians carried on this
abominable nuisance under the very windows of their
sick wards for years, .in spite of the known
protest of the medical officer and of the coroner
for Middlesex ; that it was denounced by the
Lancet Commission nearly twelve months ago ;
that even after this a motion by Mr. Storr,
a guardian, was scornfully rejected, and that
the guardians refused to hear their medical
officer on the matter because they said they
knew his opinions ; and that finally the abolition
was reluctantly yielded a month before this in-
quiry was held upon a motion based upon and
supported by a letter from the medical officer. It
was a cruel piece of kindness on the part of the
Commissioner to call up the " carpet beating''
to judgment, and to endeavour to rehabilitate
the guardians in public opinion by a reference to
this transaction.

It is not the least paradoxical feature of this Re-
port, that the conclusions are strangely at variance
with what the preceding text might have prepared
us to expect. "Want of space, and of proper accom-
modation for the sick,and want of good nursing and
of efficient attendance, are now the urgent re-
quisites of this establishment." This, of course,
is official English, nevertheless we must observe
that it is not " want" of these necessaries

which forms the " urgent requisites of this
establishment," but the things themselves ;
and if the need of space, accommodation for
the sick, good nursing, and medical attend-
ance be so urgent, then it is difficult to say
what single quality of an infirmary the Strand
Union possesses. It must have required no small
ingenuity to frame a defence so elaborate, and con-
clude it with a condemnation so complete.
