DR. NEALE'S ENGLISH HISTORY.
London, England, 1867-11-13

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRF.9B.

Ste,—ln the leading article of your paper of to-
aay, which contains a criticism upon " English
History for Children, by the Rev. J. M. Neale,
M.A., Warden of Rockville College, Eaat Grin-
stead," you conclude your observations by stating
that " the Committee of Council are bound to
terminate their long partnership in" Mr. Neale's
work.

The article appears to proceed upon some misap-
prehension of the part formerly, but now no longer,
taken by the Committee of Council in helping the
managers of schools to purchase books and maps.
As part of the machinery for administering that
t4icular form of aid, a list was compiled, and
rot time to time revised, of works submitted by
publishers and educational societies. An account
of these grants, and the reasons for recommending
their discontinuance, may be found by any one who
takes a historical interest in the matter, at p. 348
of the Report of the Royal Commissioners ap-
pointed in 1858. The recommendation of the
commissioners was acted upon in drawing up the
Revised Code. Since July, 1881, no grants have
been made in a form appropriated to the purchase
of books and maps ; and, with the grants, the list,
which was part of the machinery for dispensing
them, was, as matter of course, withdrawn from

The passage in the Report of the Royal Commis-
sioners, to which I have referred, sufficiently ex-
plains that the principles on which the list was
compiled neither warranted the exclusion of Mr.
Neale's book for the reasons which lead you to
condemn it, nor made the Committee of Council
responsible for the writer's opinions.—l am, &c.,

DISTRESS AT THE EAST END.
London, England, 1867-11-13

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

On o'Ozoci.

The English funds are firm to-day, at an im-
provement of 146 per cent. Additional purchases
have been induced by the announcement that the
French troops are about to leave Rome, as well as
by an impression that operations on account of the
sinking fund are likely to commence shortly. At the
same time the supply of stock is small, owing to the
recent large absorption on account of bankers and
others. Most other securities show flatness. Home rail-
way stocks have again given way, sales being freely
made by speculators. Caledonian and Lancashire
and Yorkshire have been chiefly dealt in, and have
experienced a further important reduction. Some
of the foreign bonds have also declined, and bank-
ing, financial, and miscellaneous shares are flat.
The dealers are partly engaged with the settlement
of the fortnightly account, which will be completed
to-morrow.

In the discount market the rate for bills is un-
changed, at 1} per cent., and loans for a few days,
on English government securities, are still offered
in the Stock Exchange at 1.

REQUIEM FOR PAPAL SOLDIERS. Yesterday

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF MR. CORR-ILL—A short
time since an accident happened to Mr. Ooxwell, the
aeronaut, in the immediate vicinity of his residence at
Tottenham, which has produced an alarming illness, and
at one time threatened to have • fatal termination. It
appears that, in order to make a short cut, Mr. Coxwell
had jumped over his garden wall, not for the first time, as
he had done so previously with impunity. The result was,
that owing to • recent rainfall, and the unevenness of a
byequad, he sprained himself in the region of the left hip.
This caused the formation of • critical shwas, and on the
development and opening of this depended the life of the
patient. Had it burst internally death must have ensued,
but we are happy to say an external opening formed,
and that Mr. Coxwell has pulled through • severe
trial favourably, and I. now progressing towards recovery.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

The Daily NeFs will believe in a conference of the
European powers on the Roman question when the con-
ference has held its preliminary meeting, and must,
provisionally at least, take leave to doubt whether the
diplomatic victory which is wanting to complete the won-
ders of the Chwepdt will be found quite so simple an
achievement. Excepting Spain, the Daily Next can see no
European state which would insist on the maintenance of
the temporal power ; and as to England, if ever there was
• case in which she would abide by the principle of non-
intervention, it is this.

The Standard argues that if there were the slightest
chance that the conference could settle the question in a
satisfactory manner definitively, or even provisionally, the
delay might well be endured ; but as it is morally certain
that the conference will do nothing of the kind, and that
on its separation France and Italy will have to settle the
question by themselves, the weeks, or perhaps months,
which would be consumed from the day the invitations
were issued to those in which it separated would be abso-
lutely wasted.

Assuming that the promised withdrawal of the French
troops will utterly fail to win back the affection of the
Italian people, the Telegraph says the declaration was pro-
bably made with the view of facilitating the assemblage of
the conference on which the French government lays so
great a stress.

(THIS DAY.)

LORD SOWN MANNERS AND THE CONSERVATIVE WORKING

!lEL

The Times saes a peculiar fitness in the partici-
pation of Lord John Manners in the conservative demon-
stration at the Crystal PaLice. It was, doabtless, he who
suggested the motto on the trophy which decorated one
end of the banqueting-room—" The Altar, the Throne, and
the Cottage ;" for this mysterious alliance between reli-
gion, monarchy, and industry, was, as usual, the keynote
of his discourse. There is, indeed, a sort of irreverence,
not to say of cruelty, in gravely dissecting sentiments
composed of such stuff as philanthropic dreams are made
of by ordinary methods of criticism. Amongst other
things. Lord John assures us, and apparently in earnest,
that it was the conserv►tives who mainly carried all the
great measures for the education of the people. The next
thing we shall hear—if, indeed, we have not already heard
it—is that we owe free trade to Lord Derby and Mr.

The Stasidard enlarges on the grand success of the
gathering, and proceeds to expatiate on the great import-
ance of having in London, in the very centre of political
activity, an organisation which can localise the strength of
the conservative party throughout the length and breadth
of the land, and bring it to bear at a few days' notice upon
the forces of the opposition.

The Star is particularly pleased with the vigour with
which Lord J. Manners dangles before the face of the
public the retention of the small boroughs. Every boast of
this kind will add strength to Mr. Gladstone's policy, and
ensure his eventual if not speedy triumph.
Referring to the stagnation of money, the scarcity of
work, and the danger of continental hostilities, the
Teter/mph proceeds to remark that such a collection of
political posies as "The Altar, the Throne, and the
Cottage," or "a porch, an oven, and a tank," will not help
us over a winter presaged by such' signs. If Mr. Disraeli
can be in earnest, be will soon have the opportunity ;
thoroughgoing measures for the welfare and education of
the people at home, and such unmistakable legislation as
shall pacify Ireland and encourage the poor, are the reme-
dies which must be had.

THE ROT.%L BANK OF LIVERPOOL.

The situation of the above bank, obesrves the Daily
News, is fatally simple. It has lost, besides its large
and valuable business, all its capital, and the whole
of its reserve fund, and, in addition, 382,000/.—a present
deficiency which the unfortunate shareholders will
have to provide, together with from 60,000/. to
100,000/. as interest on their liabilities. To infamously
bad management must this loss be attributed ; to re-
prehensible transactions ; to its system of doing business;
to the lending of enormous sums on dead security ; and to
carrying on works simply because the property in question
would have been worth nothing if not worked. The
vicious agreements that have been mentioned never came
before the board, and there ace directors who were ignorant
of them until, together with the shareholders, they were
rudely awakened from a dream of prosperity.
The Post says that with all the reticence with which
Mr. Banner, the manager of the bank, has confessedly de.
termined upon with • view to the ultimate interests of
the bank and the saving of its best and most available
debtors from neutralisation, if not ruin, he has not been
able to entirely prevent the casting across the stage of
a shadow which cannot but create • suspicion that there
is a very ugly substance behind the scenes—the shadow of
a skeleton that the public begins to fear fills a place in
the strong room of more than half the enterprises in the
kingdom which are under the conduct of boards of
directors.

TEE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

If illiam Thompron, cashier to Messrs. Barnett, Hoare,
and Co., bankers, Lombard-street, was brought up on re-
mand, before the Lord Mayor, charged with robbing his
employers.
From the evidence adduced on the former examination
it appeared that on Saturday. the 26th October, the pri-
soner abecionded from the bank, taking with him 245/.
ids. 4d., which, on the same day, had been paid to the
credit of Messrs. Hewett and Co., fish salesmen, Tower-
hill.

Mr. Mullen, solicitor to the Bankers' Protection Asso-
ciation, who conducted the prosecution, now called evi-
dence in support of a second charge.
William Thomas Stephen, clerk to Mr. Cox, wholesale
oheesemonger, Newgate-street, deposed that on the 26th
October he paid into the bank 130/. 19s. I Id., consisting of
two cheques, a post-office order, and 501. in gold, the
credit slip being initialled by the prisoner.
Mr. Grey, chief clerk to Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and
Co., deposed that Mr. Cox had not been credited with any
part of the Mi. in the book kept by the prisoner. On ex-
amining his till he found the two cheques and the post-
office order, but no money. Previous to the prisoner's sp.
prehension witness received a letter from his wife, return-
ing 2001. of the money.
At this stage the prisoner applied for a remand in order
that he might make a statement to Misers. Barnett, Hoare,
and Co., but the Lord Mayor committedhim foe trial, and

THE WOOLWICH ARSENAL EXPLOSION.

INVO3T.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. C. J. Carttur, Coroner for West Kent, thin
morning resumed the inquiry at the Town-hall, Woolwich,
into the circumstances attending the death of five lads
named Pagge Newby, Nolan, Webb, and Hoare by an
,splosinn which took place at the Laboratory Department
of the toyal Arsenal on Saturday, the sth October.
Mr. Clulow, assistant solicitor from the War Depart-
ment, again attended on behalf of the crown, with Major
Orate, Colonel Boxer, and other officials of the Royal
Arsenal. Mr. Merriman attended on behalf of the rela-
tives of the deceased, and Mr. Macdonald, barrister, for the
witness Clare, who at the last examination made a state-
ment very inconsistent with other evidence as to the cause
of the explosion.
The first witness examined was a lad named William
Whiting, who said he is employed at Woolwich Arsenal,
but was absent at the time of the explosion. He lost the
second quarter of the day.
The witness Ansett, who at the last examination said
that Whiting took his tray, was then recalled, and per-
sisted in that statement.

In reply to the coroner, Whiting said when he wee at
work in the shed he stood next to thr Titness 4nsett.

The Coroner and jury then proceeded to the infirmary of
the Royal Arsenal to take the evidence of the patients at
that establishment, of whom nine still remain , but are
fortunately fast recovering from the effects of the catas-
trophe.

DREADFUL DEATH OF A WOMAN BY FIRE.

.(IN9FLIT.-THIS DAY.)

This morning Mr. Humphreys, the coroner, held
an inquiry at the Earl of Durham Tavern, Murray-street,
Heaton, respecting the death of Mrs. Nary Warren, aged
70 years..

. ---
Mr. John Scott, 97, Britannia-street, City-road, said the
deceased was his wife's mother. She was on Thursday
last hitting in the back sitting-room by the fire when
Isitne.+, heard loud screams. He ran into the room and
found her enveloped in flames. He caught up the hearth-
rug, threw it round her, and extinguished the fire. A
doctor was sent for, but she died on Monday. Her right
arm was stripped of the skin and flesh in consequence of
witnesshaving to catch hold of her in order to throw her
on the floor. She lived in witness's house 24 years. She
was a widow.

Coroner--A guard to the grate would have prevented all
this.

"itnesa—l do not think sot for she was a woman that
would have her own way, and she would sit over the fire.

rproner—ls her life in'sn' red

Witness—For the last 24 years I have paid into &burial
club that she might not be a trouble to her family when
she died.

The Coroner having remarked upon the shocking cha-
racter of the case the jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death by fire."

COURT OF BANICRUPTOY.—Avotrorr 8.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Gonlbarn.)
IN RE SAMUEL •UCHOUTY DICKSON.
This was a prison adjudication, a petition presented by
the bankrupt himself having been dismissed. The bank-
rupt was formerly M.P. for Limerick, and be describes
himself as late of 5, Wellington-square, Chelsea, lieute-
nant-colonel in the militia, previously of Homburg, in
Prussia, and elswhere. He has been before the court on
several occasions, and an adjourned sitting for examina-
tion and discharge was now held. The indebtedness, as
shown by the accounts which have been filed, is large, and
the figures are elms returned:—Creditors unsecured,
10,045.3/. rs. 4c1..; ditto holding security, 55,2731. 6s. ; and
liabilities on calla on shares, 5001. ; against property in
the hands of creditors, 43,4001. ; and doubtful debts,
221'. 12s. ; thus leaving a deficiency of 5,004/. 19s. 4d.
The bankrupt appears to have executed mortgages over
his estates, in Ireland and Berkshire, as security for
advances made thereon, and the largest secured creditors
are stated to be the Guardian Life Assurance Office, for
33,000/., who hold a first charge on the property.
Mr. Lucas appeared for the assignees, and Mr. R.
Griffiths for the bankrupt.
Mr. Linklater, on behalf of Mr. Edward Browning, a
gentleman now residing at Buenos Ayres, tendered a proof
for 6,304/.195. 2d., in respect of fees due to him as receiver
of the bankrupt's estate and for money lent.
Mr. Lucas objected to the reception of the proof upon
three grounds ; lint, that Mr. Jeffrey Browning, who
sought to make it as agent for Mr. Edward Browning, was
not a person " duly authorised " within the 146th section
'of the act • secondly, that the debt was barred by the
Statute of Limitations ; and thirdly, that the amount due
(if any) had been satisfied.
His Honour eventually allowed a claim to be entered
upon the proceedings, and
Mr. Lialdeter then proposed to examine the bankrupt
upon his accounts, and to show that debts had been
omitted ; but

His Honour thought it would be more convenient that
the right of Mr. Browning to prove should be first deter-
mined. and he adjourned the ease generally for three
months, giving leave to the bankrupt to amend his aessomits.

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON TO

of the ground to avoid the fire of the enemy's artillery.
The skirmishers open fire at 1,000 metres. It Is still un-
decided as to the exact distance at which the battalions
ought to commence their combined fire ; but in a few days
the exercises in combined firing will put an end to this
uncertainty ; meanwhile it is thought that their effect
is very great at 800 metres, and that they may communes
at that distance against troop. in line; at 600 or at 500
metres it is impossible for any troops whatever to stand
against the fire of a battalion armed with Chassepots.
On a plain no cavalry could approach even at charging dis-
tance, that is at 200 metres, a battalion firing at will ; this
is se thoroughly understood that now in oar mancsuvres
during all the action the cavalry is held in reserve ; it has
not entered into line, and has only charged when the
enemy's troops have clearly indicated their retreating

TILE CAMP AT CHALONS.

It will be seen by a telegram in another column
that the Emperor Napoleon left Paris yesterday
for the camp at Chalons. A letter from the camp,
dated the 6th inst., and published in the Paris
Temps of yesterday, says :
A despatch received this morning at head.quarten
fixes Thursday, the Bth inst., for the arrival of the
Emperor at the camp. His Majesty will remain until the
16th. He wishes, indeed, to see for himself the import-
ance of the modifications to be introduced into actual
tactics in consequence of the new armament of the
French infantry. Ever since the 24th June we
have had grand manoeuvres every week on Monday
and Friday ; we were, therefore, much astonished
a few days ago to read in the little Moaiteur that the
troops at the Chalons camp would soon commence the
grand masueuvres they execute every season. A month
and a half in arrear is a little too much ; however, from
the very beginning of our manoeuvres certain changes have
been regarded as established principles, others are still on
trial ; repeated experiments can alone demonatate the
expediency, more or less, of their adoption. As before,
the artillery commences battle ; it opens fire at 2,500
metres ; at I,noo metres its fire is very accurate and effec-
tive. During the fire of the artillery the infantry
advances, covered by a dense mass of skirmishers,
and endeavouring to profit by all the accidents

A SOLDIER'S WW2 AND CHILD.
Ellen Sixpence, a diminutive child of eight years of age,
a cripple, walking with two little crutches, was charged

street.

The marquis mentioned that the prisoner told him her
mother sent her out to beg. and beat her if she did not
bring home money enough. The mother was now in
attendance.

Mr. Murgatroyd, the chief usher, mid that about two
years ago the mother, who was then suffering from con-
' sumption, applied to Mr. Vaughan for assistance from the
1 poor-box. She stated that her husband was a soldier in
the Artillery, on service in India. She had no regular
allowance from him as he had enlisted as • single
man. He had on two or three occasions sent
her small sums of money. Mr. Vaughan re-
lieved her on two or three occasions and
once gave her a basket to sell fruit. At that time she was
living in one of the courts near Temple-bar, and when that
neighbourhood was cleared for the site of the proposed
new law courts she was obliged to remove. She had since
lived somewhere in Westminster.
The mother admitted that she sent the child out to sell
fusee* but not to beg, and she denied beating the child.
Mr. Flowers remanded the prisoner for inquiry.

THE POLICE AND THE BASKET WOSIENI.
Five women, named Elks Cotter, Bridget Burns, Mar-
garet Hooper Ann Sullivan, and Ann Shields, were charged
before Mr. Arnold with causing an obtruction in Crown-
street, Soho, on the footway with baskets of fruit.
Mr. Arnold ordered the cases to be taken separately,
stating that each ease mint depend upon its own merits,
and the defendant Cotter was then placed at the bar.
Police-constable Edward Beasley, 178 C, said that yester-
day afternoon he was on duty in Crown-street, Soho, and
he saw the defendant with some baskets of fruit on the
footway, causing such an obstruction that persona could
not pass. There were great complaints from the inha-
bitants.

36.Arnolil asked the constable if he had previously
cautioned the defendant.
The constable said he had.
Mr. Arnold inquired of the constable whetter he asked
the defendant her name and address.
The constable said he did not.
Mr. Arnold said that should have been done. He did
not see any necessity for taking them into enetody. If the
dressessm were causing an obstruction their names and ad.
should be taken and they should be summoned.
lie also asked if the evidence was the same in all the
cram, and on the constable stating that it was, he dim-
' charged the defendants with a caution.
One of the defendants said, she bad been at the same
place with her stall for two years.
Mr. Arnold said that was two years longer than she
ought to have stopped.
