THE TORNADO QUESTION.

(itErmen RSPRFA4.)
MADRID, APRIL 10.

In yesterday's sitting of the Congress, General
Calonge, Minister for Foreign Affairs, replied as
follows to Signor Martinez Guertoro, relative to
the Tornado question :

Senor Martinez Guertero will not fall to comprehend
the great difficulty I experience in touching upon a ques-
tion which has entered an exceedingly critical phase. The
government intend to lay before Congress very shortly all
the documents that have been exchanged with the British
Minister for Foreign Affairs upon the case of the Tornado.
Congress will then be able, with all the correspondence in
their posemaion, to judge whether the government has
maintained what it believed to be consistent with the laws
and the rights of the Spanish nation, and whether it has
acted with the necessary energy and with due regard to
the national honour. The laws have not been attacked or
violated. There have been discussions and different modes
of viewing the question, and each party has maintained its
ground, but both governments have always observed the
just deference which each has a right to expect from the
other. The press, it it true, have imported some acrimony
into the question, as also have some speakers in parlia-
ment, and I pray that Congress may not follow their
fatal example. I beg Senor Martinez Guertero to be
assured that the government is fully determined to cause
the decision of its tribunals to be respected, since it be-
lieves that no government of • civilised country could
resist so just a demand.

LITTER-STELLING BY • FOOT-OFFICE STAMPER.
George Grote, a stamper in the West Central district-
office, Holborn, was charged with stealing two test letters.
containing •eheque for 5/. and apiece of 240 penny postage
stamps, and also with stealing another letter containing •
piece of 240 and a piece of 120 stamps.
It appeared that some suspicion having fallen on the
prisoner in consequence of the frequent loss of letters in
his district, the two test letters were made
up by Mr. Gardner, one of the chief clerks,
and addressed to Mr. W. B. Bennett. of No.
1, Brunswick-square. and posted at the district
office. In due course they would pass through the prisoner's
hands, to he stamped. As they did not reach their desti-
nation, the prisoner was interrogated, and denied all
knowledge of them. However, he was searched, and upon
the cheque and marked stamps being found on him,
admitted that he bad stolen them from Mr. Ben-
nett's letters—destroying the letters and also • memo-
randum enclosed in the same letter with the cheques.
There were also found on him two other pieces of 240 and
120 stamps respectively, which he admitted he had stolen
from another letter. There was an endorsement, " How-
lett and C 0.," on the clique, which was not there when
it was enclosed in the letter by Mr. Gardner.
The prisoner was ooniniitted for trial.

THS CONIMIVATIVI MEETING AT AT. JAWltfell HALL.

The conservative journ►ls protest against the scene in
St. James's Hall last night as a scandalous violation of the
right of public meeting and free speech. According to the
Herald the disturbers did not number one-fifth of the
persons present ; but the Tinges' account represents them
as being greatly in the majority. The working cisme& will
be led by such an episode, the Herald thinks, to two im-
portant conclusions. The first is, that the principles
which commend themselves to such hostility must be
right and sound, and th►t the cause which arrays such
blackguardism on its side, is one to be shunned by every
man who values his good name, and can afford to preserve
his self-respect. The second is, that those who hold the
views which are so obnoxious to the Reform League roughs
will do well to take prompt measures for banding themselves
under an organisation, sufficiently strong to meet the
violence and ruffianism of their antagonists with stern and
immediate repression.

The Standard trusts that the result of this attempt will
prove to the perfect satisfaction of the respectable classes
of the community how hopeless it is to expect any uaeful
result from a metropolitan public meeting.

A report is current that Lord Elcho has accepted
the invitation to join Lord Derby's government as Chan-
cellor of the Duchy of Imsesestor.

PARIS, Jaws 17.

The Patrie of this evening says :—" It appears
certain that the present session of the Legislative
Body will not continue beyond the 15th July next,
until which period the Chambers will be occupied
with the discussion of the budget, and bills of local
interest. The bills relative to the re-organisation
of the army, the reserves, the press laws, and the
right of public meeting, are reserved for a second
session, which, it is believed, will open on the 3rd
of November. It is stated that the indisposition
from which the Emperor has been suffering, con-
sistcd of a complicated attack of lumbago and sick
headache. His Majesty, however, after twenty-
four hours' rest, is now restored to health."

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, Juan 17.
The review to-day upon the Tempelhof field was
of a very brilliant character. The King, the Czar,
the royal princes and princesses, the ministers, and
the diplomatic corps, were present. The King ar-
rived upon the ground at half-past 10, and was fol-
lowed at 11 by the Czar, wearing the Prussian
uniform. Their Majesties were received with loud
cheers by the people. King William rode forward
to meet the Czar, and the sovereigns heartily shook
hands. The review terminated at half-past 1, the
King, the Czar, and their respective suites return-
ing to Potsdam. The Czar leaves for Warsaw at
alf-past 7 this evening, travelling by way of Brom-
berg and Thorn, and will be accompanied by the
King as far as Berlin. The Queen of Prussia
leaves Baden for Coblenz on the 20th, and will
then proceed to Windsor, in compliance with an
invitation from Queen Victoria.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Juice 17.

To-day, in the Lower House of the Re icharath,
Herr Mithlfeld moved that the discussion upon the
bill he had brought in relative to religious matters
should be resumed. The Minister of War read a
letter from the Emperor announcing that the new
law for there-organisation of the army would be duly
submitted to the parliament for constitutional
treatrrent. Baron von Beust brought in bills for
establishing ministerial responsibility and for
amending the February patent and art. 13 of the
constitution. Baron von Beust also announced
that the projected fortification of the city of Vienna
being considered by the government as an affair
common to Austria and Hungary, was as such
reserved for due constitutional treatment at the
hands of the delegates, and that in the meantime
the Emperor Francis Joseph had ordered the a orks
for the proposed fortification to be stopped. This
announcement was received with cheers from all
parts of the house. The Minister of Justice
informed the house that he had been suthorited by
the Emperor to draw up a bill to provide for trial
by jury in criminal cases. The bill, he added,
would be brought on very shortly.

MONEY MARKET.-(211D3 DAY.)

Oms o'C'smai.

The absence of any unfavourable news from
abroad, and the investment of a portion of the
dividends, have imparted increased firmness to the
markets for public securities, and prices have further
improved. The upward tendency would probably be
still stronger, but for a feeling of anxiety with re-
spect to the forthcoming division on the Reform
question. Consols are unaltered for money, but show
a trifling advance for the account. Most of the
British railways and foreign stocks are better.
London Financial shares exhibit a partial recovery.
The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-morrow, and may, it is
thought, be attended with one or two failures on
the Stock Exchange, owing to the magnitude of
the variations that have occurred during the fort-
night in most securities.

There is a fair demand for money to-day, bit the
supply large, and choice paper is taken at per
cent. below the Bank minimum. Advances for a
few days on English government securities are
offered in the Stock Exchange at Ito per cent.
Consols are now quoted 90} toe for money,
and 90} to f for the account (May 9), and the
Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per
Cents., 884 to 89.

This return shows that the payment of the divi-

far been attended with a diminution of only
221,8441. in the reserve. What the Bank lost
through the payments on government account it
received back through the influx of private deposits,
combined with the repayment to it of the quarterly
advances. The sum payable as dividend on Bank
stock has been deducted from the " rest." The
decrease of 244,517/. in the government securities
represents the final half-yearly payment on account
of the dead weight annuity, which has now abso-
lutely expired. The 209,6171. withdrawn from the
coin and bullion consists almost exclusively of coin
taken by the receivers of the dividends, and will
flow back from the internal circulation at a later
period.

THE JAMAI 'A PRJBISCUTIONM.

Notwithstanding the high estimate which it puts upon
the charge of the Lord Chief Justice of England, the Times
still speaks of the case as an ill-advised prosecution. The
evidence against Gordon was worthless, and he was tried
and sentenced illegally ; but the accused believed they
were acting in the due course of justice. The failure of
the indictment is equivalent to an amnesty for the past;
the emphatic protest of the Chief Justice will remain on
record as a warning for the future. The 'governor of a
colony, like the captain of • ship, may put down force by
force, and employ against rebels in arms all the means of
repression which he might employ against foreign enemies.
What he cannot do is to erect courts-martial to make an
example of captured rebels, and as the same incapacity
attaches to his sovereign, we cannot imagine that any
governor worthy of trust will scruple to submit to it.
It is remarked by the Daily News that the clear and
firm exposition of the law by the Lord Chief Justice is of
the first importance in presence of the maxims which Mr.
Disraeli propounded in parliament and which have since been
repeated in every variety of form. The proposition that
' there is a kind of law which is in fact the extinction of all law
to be exercised by no fixed or settled rules and no definite
practice, is condemned by the Lord Chief Justice as utterly
destitute of authority—unfounded, untenable, mischievous,
detestable. Under no circumstances whatever are men to
be tried for their lives where the essentials of justice are
disregarded. But with regard to the view which the grand
jury has taken of the responsibility of the accused the
Daily News has no fear of any injurious consequences as
likely to result from it. Colonel Nelson and Lieutenant
Brand were not answerable for much of the illegality
of which Mr. Gordon was the victim. There is
no proof that they had any special animosity against
I their prisoner; they had not for a lug time
previous being pursuing him with deadly resent-
ment. Nor, when their conduct was challenged in this
country, did they abscond from justice, biding behind a
country bench, but met their accusers like men, a proof at
least that they believed in thernaelves. Gordon was given
into their bands for trial, and they tried him, most igno-
rantly indeed without authority, under the influence of
the all prevailing passion, but pusaibly all the while under
the belief that they were acting according to law. They
IMO wilier now. They will carry Lord Chief Justice Cook-
burn's charge in their memories to the latent day of their
lives, and the excuse of ignorance will not avail any officers
why may come after them.

Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, did not oppose, sp4
doted that the accounts were satisfactory.
Mr. Edwards, the official assignee, aid that the acm.em
were vouched.
The bankrupt, in answer to the court, stated that there
was a probability of • surplus from the secured protkr.7.
but ships were unsaleable now, owing to the depress% in
the trade.
His Honour granted the order.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
RI RE WINNER.
The bankrupt, a builder, of the Clapham-mad, appliq
for his discharge from debts of 5,287/. The assets were of
trifling amount.
Mr. Simpson appeared for the assignees; Mr. R. .1
supported the bankrupt. There was no opposition,
the order wail granted.

(Raton Mr. Commissioner Winslow.)
IN RE ERNST AND ZIOST,—JUDOMENT.
The bankrupt, were fancy warehousemen and trimau
manufacturers, of Faloon-street, Aldersgate-street. Their
liabilities are upwards of 20,0001., with
able assets. The oast has been before the court for nearly
two years, frequent adjournments having been required for
the investigation of accounts. The bankrupts' 'milieu.,
for order of discharge was opposed by Mr. Rooks for the
assignees, and Mr. Bagley and Mr. Read for the creditor,.
Mr. Linklater supported the bankrupts. A dividend of
2s. 6d. in the pound has been paid.
His Honour said the bankrupt. were charged with cos.
tracting debta without probable means of payment sad
not keeping proper books of account. In 1,61 they
were in a deficiency of 2,0001., which was inmat(
in the next year (they having made large
It;
cheats in the interval) to upwards of 7,700 f.
explained the circumstance of their having mg.&
• very small profit, from the fact that they had to maple
with a patented article. In May, 1861, their parttime'
amounted to 4,000/., being one-fifth of those for the whole
year. Previous to this they had been preabel for
security by M. Bulgarini, of Paris, to whom they g,
the guarantee of Miss Coles, their aunt, which wu
repudiated by her. Having regard to recent decisions 4
the Court of Appeal, it did not appear that • bankrupt
purchasing good though insolvent at the time, providedhe had the prospect of selling them at a profit. coald
be held to have contracted the debt withou
probable means of payment ; and, looking at
the facts in this case, the court could not
oome to the conclusion that the bankrupts had LA
means of paying their debts at the time they were me.
tracted. As to the other charge of not keeping prop!
books of accounts, the court did not think it estAW.,e4
and granted the orders of discharge, but did so with pat
reluctance, disapproving the way in which they had car-
ried on their trade.

Liverpool, at which it WIWI decided to appropriate the
tediums remaining on band (about 40,0001.) to the erection
of a convalescent hospital in the neighbourhood of Liver-

two in the metropolis, and one at Barking, in Faux.
Five cases of cattle plague are reported to have occurred
during the week, being an increase of three on lest week's
return. Three of the diseased animals were killed, one
died, and the other was remaining ill at the end of the
week. The total number of cattle reported to have been
attacked in Great Britain since the commencement of the
plague is 278,696, and 56,834 healthy cattle have been
eleughtered to prevent the spread of the diseue.

ERE SFIEI77ELD OUTRAGEB.-A MURDER.

At length, says the Tines, the Sheffield outrages are
laid open in an their honor. There may be points of
detail, more or less, to be brought out, and particular
unions may be able to offer special defences, but the
broad features of the revelation made yesterday can hardly
be explained away, and will absorb in the mind of the
public every other consideration. To be brief, two men
have clearly confessed that they combined to shoot a non-
unionist, who subsequently died of his wound, and that
the secretary of the Saw Grinders' Union, who
has been the moat prominent character among the re-
presentatives of the unions, either instigated them
to the murder or consented to it, and paid them
a stipulated reward. The eau is so damaging that
the solicitor for the Defence Oommittee bas asked
for time to consider their position, and intimates that it
may be necessary to separate the general cans from that

marriage on the ground of her husband's cruelty and
adultery. The parties, who are well known in the musical
profession, were married in DM. They afterwards pro-
ceeded to Dublin, where the respondent commenced to

treat his wife in a brutal manner, and this conduct con-
tinuing upon their return to London she ultimately left

HUNDAT LCCTURIF-9 BILL.

The Star thinks Mr. Beresford-Hope made a good sug
gevtion when he recommended in the House of Commons
yesterday that Lord Amberley's Sunday Lectures Bill
should be referred to a select committee. It was • pity
the recommendation was not adopted, for no one can
deny that the condition of the law on this subject
is at present anomalous and inconsistent, and yet it
was quite evident that very few members indeed suffi-
ciently agreed with Lord Amberley's proposals to enable
them to give • thorough support to his bill. The awkward
condition of the law at present is that it can hardly be
said to prohibit anything which is absolutely evil. In
public-homes on Sunday men and women may drink them-
selves into matinee' or death, and in the tea•gardens of the
suburbs is held on that day the high carnival of juvenile
vice. In fact, as the law stands, any performance may
take place, any buffoonery may be celebrated, any doc-
trines may be preached, any revelry may be kept up on
Sunday in buildings or gardens where people are not asked
to pay money at the doors. When, therefore, Lord Am-
berley moves the second reading of • bill to allow strictly
scientific lectures to be given by eminent men on Sundays
in a hall for which tickets of admission are sold, it seem■
a little strange to my that the charicter of our English
Sabbath will not allow us even to submit such •
proposal to the consideration of • select committee.
That money is taken at the doors of a building is certainly
not an objection which can be broadly applied. Mr. Bright
stated that in some provincial churches money is charged
for admission ; and the Star is informed that it is the
invariable practice to take money for admission at the
doors of Roman catholic chapels. When Mr. M`Laren
seemed to think the introduction of Lord Amberley's
measure might henna theatrical performances on the
Sunday, he must have entirely forgotten the fact which
Mr. Locke pointed out, that no theatrical performance of
any kind can take place without the Lomas of the Lord
Chamberlain or the local magistrate,.

THE POLICE COURT&

CLERICSNWELL

Henry Edward Atkinson, a young fellow well known to
the polio., who described himself as an errand toy, residing
at Cl, Featherstone-street, Itunhill-row, St. Luke's, was
charged before Mr. Cooke with assaulting and stealing
from the person of Mr. John Digby Turner s gold watch
and chain, of the value of 151., in the City-road, during
the late march out of the city of London Militia.
The prosecutor said—On Monday, the 10th inst., I was
passing along the City-roan, between the hours of two
and three in the afternoon, when I saw &crowd coming
towards me. I crossed over to the other side of the way,
and when the City of London Militia had gone by, the
i prisoner came up to me, and I asked him what was the
matter. The prisoner did not answer me, but gave •
snatch at my chain, and took my watch and chain, and at
once made off with it. I called out for assistance, but
instead of getting it, the crowd closed in upon me, whilst
the prisoner got away. I was struck by the prisoner's
companions several times in the head and face. I got
sway been them as quickly as possible, and went to the
Old-etreet police-station, and gave a description of the
prisoner. There was a gold locket at the end of my chain,
and the one produced is mine. I have not seen the pri-
soner since until to-day, when I identified him at the
police station from among seven or eight other persons.
Police-constable Henry Toddy, 142 G, said—From the
description that the last witness gave to me of the pri-
soner, I have been looking out for him, and yesterday I
met him in Fisher's-alley, St. Luke's, with two other lads.
I took hold of the prisoner, and said, " I shall take you
into custody for stealing • gold watch and chain in the
City-road on last Monday fortnight on the marching of the
City of London Militia." The prisoner said, "I am not
the person, I was in Paris at the time, and have only just
returned." The locket identified by the prneecntor was
brought to the police-station by • jeweller, and he said he
had purchased it from a man about 23 years of age. I
know the prisoner to be the constant associate of thieves.
A description of the watch and chain and the locket had
been sent round to the jeweihee and pawnbrokers, and

for clothes he pnrchued, and toot them ►way. On the
previous day, June 11, the prisoner paid him 30e. for two
shirts and &waistcoat he purchased.
The prisoner cross-examined Posner, who denied that
he had received 201. of him to tale care of.

The prisoner insisted that he had deposited M. with
Pother, which the Jew stoutly denied. . .

Mr. Alfred Knight, watchmaker and jeweller, of No.
R 3, high-street, Whitechapel, sold a lever w►tch, with
chain. locket, and ring to the prisoner on the 12th of June,
for which the prisoner tendered in payment three 51. notes,
and after deducting 12!. Os. 6d., the prioe of tts goods, re-
turned 21. 11s. The prisoner endorsed the notes, "Cameron
Conlon," and mud he came from Yorkshire, and won 2001.
at Epsom on the Derby day.
In answer to Mr. Paget, Posner and Knight said the
prisoner was in his soldier's uniform when he came to their
shops and made purchases.
George Clarke, police-sergeant, of the detective polio°,
Scotland-yard, said he arrested the prisoner on Monday
morning last in the Tower, and on making him acqainted
with the charge, he said, " I did not steal the notes,
but lam guilty of passing them. I found one 501. note,
six Si. notes, two nogg, and a cigar case, under a stone
near the Tower ditch." He found 10a. lid, on the prisoner.
Ho ascertained that the slay after Captain Legh missed
his notes and rings the prisoner invested 301. in a savings'
bank. _ _

Mr. Paget—Two 501. notes, which have been identified,
were paid into the Bank of England on the same day one
was paid to Posner. Where was the other passed by the
prisoner
Clarke—The second 501. note was endorsed " Webb." I
have my suspicions where it was passed.
The whole of the evidence having been read by Mr.
Nairn, the second clerk, the prisoner was called upon for
his defence, and after receiving the usual caution said—No
defence. Not till my trial.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner to Newgato for trial
and said—lt's an unfortunate piece of carelessness for a
gentleman to put 1451. and two gold rings in a drawer
that was unlocked, and in • room the door of which was
unfastened. I cannot too strongly reprobate the system
which enabled • private soldier in uniform to obtain
change far a 501. note and three 51. notes, all stolen, at an
outfitter's shop, without any inquiries being made. It is
perfectly monstrous.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION.

Describing the present govennnent as without a
policy in regard to Irish University education, the Doily
News proceeds to urge that the direction in which they
ought to move is clearly indicated by the resolution which
Mr. Fawcett submitted on Tuesday regarding the ban
placed upon Roman catholics in T. inity College. The reasons
which were good for abolishing the d squalifications which
have been removed apply with equal force to those which
still remain. The line of Dublin liberality curiously
enough seems to atop where the highest emoluments begin.
The Roman catholics and dissenters at present in Trinity
College may in its lecture-rooms prepare themselves for
other professions, but they are excluded from what is of
itself a profession, an academic career within the wall, of
the college itself. Despite the contrary scheme of Mr.
Monsen and The O'Conor Don, there is reason to believe
that the adoption of Mr. Fawcett's propositions would, for
the majority of catholic laymen, solve eatisfactorily the
perplexed question of university education in Ireland The
exclusiveness of Trinity College is the answer invariably
given to those who deprecate the recognition of an exclu-
sive catholic university in Dublin. Sectarianism fosters
rival sectarianism.

ISHERWOOD P. WATER, ►ALRELY CALLED ISHERWOOD.

Sir R. P. Collier and Dr. Tristram appeared for the
petitioner ; and the respondent did not appear.
The petitioner, Arthur Isherwood, is the younger son of
a gentleman of property, and he resided in Cheshire. In
the same house the respondent was residing as house-
keeper. He became of age on the 21st of May, 1864, tke
respondent being several years his senior, and on the :kd
of June following she induced him to marry her, falsely
representing that she was in the family way by him. The
marriage took place at St. Peter's, Liverpool, and they
afterwards lived together at various places. In July, 1866,
the petitioner discovered that his wife had been married
before, and that her husband (a man named Watts) was
still living. This marriage had taken place in 1449. Mrs.
Watts, when taxed with having a former husband living,
did not deny the charge, but excused herself on theground
that Watts himself had married another woman, and she
thought she might have another husband. Mr. Isherwood
consequently commenced this suit for a dissolution of his
marriage to Mrs. Watt.
