WEIGHTI4 FOR THE SPRING HANDICAPS. —We
understand that the Calendar, containing the weights for
the principal Spring Handicaps, will be published this day
(Thursday).
MANCHESTER MEETING.—These races have been
again postponed until Friday and Saturday, February 14
and 2nd. The flat and hurdle races will be re-opened
as free handicaps, at the same weights as before, :temp-
%Knees to be declared at the scale.

FOOTBALL.—ETON AND HARROW V. THE WORLD.
—Yesterday this match was played at Yineent-square,
Westminster, on the ground belonging to the Westminster
School, and from its commencement till "time" was
called was contested with an energy which was highly
exciting. The fast match was played about a fortnight
since, and, as our readers are aware, resulted in • draw,
two "goals" each being obtained by the two sides. On that
occasion the ground was in a bad state; but yesterday it
was so sloppy in consequence of the thaw which set in
on Tuesday night, and the weather was altogether so un-
favourable, rain even falling at the time the game was
commenced, that it was no doubt generally believed that
it could not come off. This opinion also prevailed on the
ground for coins time, the representatives of the two
public schools and the World making but a poor numerical
show shortly before the time announced for commencing
the game. Subsequently, however, others put in an appear-
ance, and precisely at a quarter to 3 o'clock the
fifteen players—eight for Eton and Harrow, and
seven for the World—emerged from the lodge.
Each player worn flannel trousers, and with one or two
exceptions bad no covering over their shirts. Many
even appeared on the slushy ground without any covering
to their heads ; and it was particularly noticeable that
there was some distinctive peculiarity about the shirt or
trousers of each man. A finer body of young fellows
could hardly be imagined, and as they one by cne jumped
lightly on to the grolnd to take up their positions at the
goals their appearance was greatly admired. Play com-
menced at 3 o'clock, and the ball having once been set in
motion the players soon began to warm to their work. It
had not long commenced, however, before the treacherous
state of the ground made itself manifest by the constant
falls which happened to the players. First one, and then
two together, in their attempts to get the ball towards the
goal, came to grief, being smothered with black mud, and
one gentleman receiving the full force of the ball, which
had been kicked but a short distance off him, in his face,
presented a very novel aspect, one side of his face being
made black. When " time " was called, at 4.20, the game
stood thus :—The World, 2 goals ; Eton and Harrow, 0.
GOOD Srowr.—Never were wild fowl more
plentiful in Cornwall than last week, when there were
killed, according to careful estimation, about 1,000 snipe,
400 woodcocks, 201) ducks, and a large quantity of plover,
teal, and widgeon.

QUARRELLING AMONG PUBLISH ERS. —AM inter-
national copyright law would have at least the good effect
of diminishing the wrangling among American reprinter.
over English books. There are some two or three small
firms that always republish in cheap lona a popular book,
such as "Griffith Gaunt," in violation of the moral rights
of those who have paid the author for advanced sheets,
and have first printed it. It is complained now that
Messrs. Harper and Brothers have again used their great
resources to endeavour to crush a minor rival. Messrs.
Linen, Son, and Co., of Boston, published in the Liring
Age, as serials, "Mir Marjoribanks," "Sir Brook Foes.
brooke," and " Madonna Mary," with the expressed inten-
tion of issuing them afterwards in book form. Whether
they had paid for them we do not know, but by the
courtesy of the trade they were entitled to them by
priority. Just before the concluding numbers were pub-
balled the house just mentioned published the whole in
book form at much less than the usual rides Taking
warning by the two earlier novels, Messrs. Littell, Bon,
and Co. offered Messrs. Harper and Brothers their stereo-
type plates of " Madonna Mary " at manufacturer.' prices.
They preferred, however, to refuse that offer, thus de-
priving Messrs. Littell, Son, and Co. of even that slight
chance of profit.—Nero York Nation, Jan. 3.

HR. DISRAELI'S SPEECHES.

All that is wanting, observes the Daily Newt, now that
Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and Mr. Disraeli have repub-
lished their speeches on reform, to complete the repre-
sentative literature of the gantlets, is an edition of the
speeches of Mr. Lowe—the recognised head of the party of
simple resistance and pure obstruction. In the matter of
the form and contents of the three publications,
while Mr. Gladstone restricts himself to speeehes
delivered during a single half-year, and Mr. Bright
reprints only his platform orations, Mr. Disraeli
comes forward in much greater state, delegating,
as if unaccustomed to carry works through the press, the
revision of his speeches to a faithful admirer, and select-
ing addresses which extend over a period of 18 years. The
statement of his editor that all the leading country gentle.
men of the time are openly or esoterically disciples in Mr.
Disraeli's school is a bold and perhaps • questionable
proposition. But still it is clear that the pre-
sent government is pledged on all essential points
to Mr. Disraeli's doctrine. The publication of these
speeches at the present time throws, perhaps, son.e doubt
on the generally credited rumour that the cabinet of Lord
Derby will decline dealing with the subject of reform.
Otherwise, they are au elaborate introduction to nothing ;
a stately and ornate portico without any building behind
it. If they represent the unanimous opinion of the con-
servative party, which nevertheless shrinks front giving
them legislative embodiment, this reluctance must proceed
from • misgiving that the nation dissents from the party,
and the Daily News is persuaded that this is the case.
The scheme of class representation which Mr. Disraeli has
persuaded the conservative party to adopt is a contrivance
for conferring upon an oligarchy conscious of not possessing
intrinsic superiority, an artificial ascendency which real
superiority could dispense with. Parliament and the na-
tion have already pronounced judgment on these indirect
devices; and, however dexterously party divisions and
personal jealousies may be manipulated, we have little
fear that the judgment will be reversed on appeal.

HIB BRUTALITY.

Small things sho;iitsiirMieiiihitracter better than
large ones, became the former accidentally reveal the
truth, while the latter are the result of premoditatioit.
Bright's 14 utality was manifested at a very early period of
his evil life. A friend of his was endeavouring to induce
hint to play at leap-frog, • diversion which, thougn net
enjoined hy the Quaker doctrine, is not inhibited to 'Fiends
of any age or olie,ity. After several refusal, to •• give*
his companions a " back," and the latter continuing to
urge the claims of sport, John Bright exclaimed, silting
the action to the word, " I'll give thee • back-bander,*
and the unfortunate friend went head-over-heel/.
1113 FALBEHOOD.

We have so repeatedly exposed the unblushing falsel.nods
of Mr. John Bright that the task becomes wearisome. Bat
we fear that the hue will go on until the crack of doom.
The habit is ingrained in his nature, and was in full efflo-
rescence at an early period. We have obtained from as
aged servant in the Bright family the following atory, which
may be relied on, though we suppress her name, that wis
may not expose her to the vengeance which the un-Engliak
agitator is fund of taking on old women. Hi. brother
Jacob had favourite knife, which on ooe occasion be
missed. The poor boy demanded of his brother Jobs
whether he saw the cherished article anywhere about.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nON OUR OWN CORRISEONDEIT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Bourse opened (with very great heaviness.
Confidence in the new ministerial combinations is
utterly wanting. Route was quoted at one moment
as low as 68f r. 75c. There was a recovery to a certain
extent for the close, and the last prices were Mgr.
90c. for cash, and 08fr. 95c. for account, showing
still a fall from yesterday of 25c. and 20c. The
comparatively higher closing prices were attri-
buted to a rumour that the Muniteur will to-
morrow endeavour to dispel the impression that M.
Rouher's administration of the finance department is
likely to be marked by loans and extravagance. There
was a ministerial council to-day, at which no doubt
the unpleasing impressions of the Bourse were con-
sidered. Mobilier fell 2fr. 50c., and Credit Foncier
3fr.

I do not know whether the crowning of the
edifice of liberty in France will involve the demo-
lition such ugly excrescences as the seizure in the
Post-office of any foreign journal whose strictures
upon French affairs may be unpleaaing, but I do
know that my Deify News has not come to hand
for three days, and yet there are no obstructions
on the railways now.
A rapid thaw set in last night, and we have now
a southerly wind and a temperature 10 deg. above
zero (Chevalier).

The Emperor Napoleon has addressed a letter, of
which the following is a translation, to Lord Hood :
" Palace of the Tuileries. Jan. 20, 1867.—Sir,—I learn
with regret from your letter, that the tombs of the English
officers killed at the battle of Toulouse are in a state of
decay. Soldiers who fall on a foreign land belong to that
land, and it ie the duty of all to honour their memory. I
shall talcs upon myself the expense of repairing these tombs.
Receive the assurance of my sentiments. —NAPOLZON."
DEATH OF THE EARL OF KINORTON. —The death
is announced this morning of Robert, fourth Earl of
Kingston, in the 70th year of his age. He was educated at
Exeter College, Oxford, where he took his B.A. degree in
1818, being second class in classics. He appears in the
honour list as Viscount Kingsborough. He is enooeeded in
his title and estates by his brother, the Hon. James
Kingston, who was born in 1800, and was called to the bar
by the Hon. Society of Lincoln's.inn in 1827. The first
Lord Kingston was so created by Charles IL ; his title,
however, expired on the fourth possessor. It was revived
in the person of his brother's grandson ; the second earl
of the new creation was father of the first viscount.

THE EMPEROR AND EMPRESS OP THE FRENCH

AND THEIR MINISTERS.

We read in the Paris correspondence of the
Times :—" The cabinet council that was to meet on
Wednesday was postponed, in consequenceof the court
ball, to Thursday, and on that day, before any other
business was entered upon, the Emperor quietly drew from
his pocket a sheet of paper, read to his ministers the
draught of his project, informed them that as be had defini-
tively made up his mind upon it he would not trouble
them for any observations, and requested them to proceed
forthwith to the ordinary business of the day. The minis-
ters received the gracious communication with respect ;
not without surprise, but they said nothing. On Saturday
the council of ministers met again, and, the Emperor
having settled in his own mind what to do with them,
they were allowed to have their say. The Empress was
present and took part in the conference. There can be no
indelicacy in alluding to this illustrious lady, who is, to
all intents and purposes, a political personage. Her Ma-
jesty has over and over again presided at cabinet councils :
she almost always takes a share in the proceedings, and
sometimes signs decrees and ordinances. In the present
instance it is related that her Majesty was pleased to ex-
prese herself not over satisfied with the concessions granted
by the Emperor, as they gave rather too much latitude to
the opposition, and too much disarmed authority. IL
Chasseloup Laubat (Marine) inclined to more liberal views,
and, perhaps, took some exceptions to the
ject. There is some uncertainty as to how Mar
shal Hendon expressed himself on this particular subject,
though there were none as to what be thought of the pro-
ject for the organisation of the army. IL Lavalette,
strange to say, took rather a liberal view, though he might
not completely disapprove the plan. M. Fould did not
conceal his opinion that it could hardly he looked upon as
serious. He would cordially support any well-considered
serious measure that would enlarge the circle of public
liberty, and at the same time maintain the proper autho-
rity of the executive ; but he did not think that the one
in question had that character. After hearing with his
wonted serenity and patience all the ministers had to say,
his Majesty was pleased to notify to his ministers that he
had made up his mind, and he invited' them to resign
en masse. The invitation' was at once accepted."
London, England, 1867-01-24

THE GOVERNMENT AND REFORM.

Repeating the rumour that the government in-
tends to question the house as to its wishes about reform,
and observing that at any rate the vote should be taken by
ballot, the Times proceeds to observe that, failing the
latter protection, the great majority would declare for •
bill this very session, and by the simple force of that vote
would declare also • want of substantial confidence in
the government. In matter of fact there is no
scheme of reform in the parliamentary mind,
and the house will look out for some one
who will sot shrink from the initiative. A
parliament without a constitutional leader is a con-
vention and nothing more. An invitation to the house to
take a matter entirely into its own hands is an invitation
to everybody to take a course of his own. The numerous
propositions which, under the usual parliamentary prac.
tice, have to perform the very subordinate part of amend.
ments to something or other actually before the house will
assume the rank of substantive projects, and will have to be
discussed each on its own merits. We shall not, however,
come to this. There can hardly be a doubt that, even if this
ill-advised proposal is made, the house will insist on the
speedy settlement of reform, in the manner prescribed by
the great precedent of lsll-2. As to the lavish offers of
purely legislative and administrative reforms, which are
to reconcile the public to a yea?* delay, those who desire re-
form will be unable to see on what grounds confessed arrears
and accumulated evils should not be left to the care of a
reformed parliament, better qualified, on their principles,
to cope with these evils, and make these required improve.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.)

Frederiik Aldridge, 18, Charles Le Stargea n, IS and
Elizabeth Capes, 19, were severally indicted, Frederick
Aldridge and Charles Le Sturgeon for breaking and enter-
ing a workshop, and stealing therein four planes, • screw
driver, a stock, 10 bits, 11 chisels, and other articles,
value 81., the property of Charles Hoy Langley. The
second indictment charged the same prisoner', together
with Elizabeth Capes, for breaking and entering the dwel-
ling house of John Duncan Mulkey, and stealing therein
divan silver fruit knives and gold lockets, value 801. and
upwards, his property.
Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted ; the prisoners Aldridge and
Capes were undefended ; and Le Sturgeon pleaded
guilty to the first indictment.
The second indictment was first gone into.
John Duncan Hawkey said that he lived at No. 244,
Upper-street Islington, and on the 16th of November he
found that his place had been broken into during the night,
and the property carried off, the value of which was 801.
at coat price.
Robert Pitt, polioe4onstable 171 E, said that on the
18th of December, after the two male prisoners had been
examined and remanded upon another charge of felony,
he went to the Angel Coffee-house, Wych4treet, Strand,
the address given by the prisoner Aldridge. He there
found some of the stolen property, and arrested Capes, who
was in the room. He had found • photograph likeness
upon the prisoner Aldridge the night previous, and on
saying to Capes, " This is your likeness, is it not!" she
replied, " Yes, that is mine, and Aldridge must have
taken it from my room." He went into her room
adjoining, and searched under the bed, where he
found two scarf pins, gold peas and case, •
gold pencil-ow, and other articles. Sergeant Kaye,
who was with him, asked her how she came by the
pencil-cape. and she said ehe had had it a long time, and
that her husband, a soldier, who had left her. had given It
to her. When Aldridge was searched one of the silver
fruit-knives was found upon him.
James Kaye, 13 F, corroborated this evidence, and some
further testimony having been given,
Capes denied all knowledge of the robbery, and said that
the only article she had was given to her by the prisoner
Aldridge.
Le Sturgeon also deniei all connexion with the robbery,
and as regarded the silver knife found in his coat pocket
said he accounted for it in this way, that it was Aldridge's
coat he was wearing, and he did not know that anything
was in the pocket until it was found there by the police-
man.

—The jury found Aldridge and Capes Guilty, and (on this
indictment) Le Sturgeon Not Guilty.
The As.istant-Judge sentenced Aldridge to be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for 18 months; Le Stur-
geon (who pleaded guilty to another indictment) to 12
months, and Capes to eight months.
Caroline Raglan, who was instrumental in the capture
of the prisoners, was ordered to receive a reward of it.

HYDETAItK.

Mr. LUSK asked the First Commissioner of Works if
he thought it desirable to continue the elaborate horticul-
tural embellishment of the Park-lane side of Hyde-park at
considerable public expense, while the Bayswater side and
Kensingtnn-ganlens were, in the same respect, compara-
tively neglected.
Mr. J. D. NICOL wished also to know whether the un-
sightly fence surrounding the park could not be removed ;
whether the contractor could not be induced to complete
the new railings before July, 1808; and whether it was
true that the price of those railings was to be 40,000/.
Lord J. MANNERS—Assuming, which however I
cannot do, that the adjectives and adverbs of the worthy
alderman's question are comet, I can only answer it in
the affirmative. With respect to the question of the hon.
member for Kinauxlineshire, there is no doubt that the
contractor might be induced to hurry on the work if the
public were prepared to expend more money in paying him
for so doing ; but considering how and by whom the rails
were destroyed I am not prepared to recommend any such
extra outlay. As to the hon. gentleman's last question,
it involves one of the most inaccurate statements I have
ever known placed upon the notice paper of the house.

Vabat mar Military.

PORTSMOUTH, llaace 17,
The Bellerophon, 14, iron screw frigate, Caps. E
Tatham, steamed ont of harbour this afternoon, and at:
chorea at Spithead to prove her enmpasses. She is ex.
weed to sail to-morrow for Ireland. The Niobe. 4
screw sloop, Commander T. B. Mackenzie, Railed lasi
evening, and the Pheasant, gunboat, this morning to re,
intone the squadron on the Irish coast. The/ are to b,
followed by the screw gunboats Trinculo, Net*, and
Stork, which have been manned from the Excellent,
gunnery ship, and the Terrible, paddle frigate.
An order was received by the military authorities lasi
evening, directing the 68th Regiment to prepare for re.
moral from Portsmouth early this morning. The officer
were immediately called together, the detachments ot
guard relieved by other troops in the garrison, and the
whole battalion, with the exception of the married soldier.
left Portsmouth by special train soon after 8 o'clock this
morning for Manchester and Liverpool. The heavy beg",
has been left behind, and it is probable that the regimen:
will shortly return to thus garrison.
London, England, 1867-03-16

LIFE SENTENCES.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. HIBBERT called attention to the present mode of
carrying out life sentences, and asked the Secretary of
State for the Home Department whether, having in view
the immediate discontinuance of transportation to Western
Australia, and the proposal to substitute in many cases
sentence of penal servitude for life for the punishment
of de►th, he intended to make any better provision for
the effectual treatment of such sentences?

Mr. GILI'IN said that it was impossible to overrate the
importance of this subject. The tendency of the age cer-
tainly was to abolish all capital punishments, although no
doubt there were a few persons who were convinced that
the gibbet was necessary to deter persons from committing
murder, just as in former times some of the judges be-
lieved that it was necessary to deter people from stealing
from a dwelling-house to the value of 40a. But just as be
believed that capital punishments would be discontinued
did he consider it nec that there should be a sound
system of secondary pun' oats by which crime should
be prevented if possible.
Some observations followed from Mr. Gilpin, Mr. Den-
man, Mr. T. Chambers, and The O'Conor Don.
. . .

Mi. WALPOLE observed that the present government,
on coming into office, found that their predecessors had
approved of revising life sentences after an expiration of
20 years instead of 12, of revising 20 year sentences at the
end of 1S years, and 24 year sentences after 18 years. In
the propriety of these alterations he entirely concurred,
but whether it was desirable to make an alteration in the
law when transportation to Western Australia had ceased,
and the contemplated change was effected in capital
punishment, was another matter. Possibly it might be
desirable to secure some place near the United Kingdom
(Lundy Island, for instance), where the more heinous class
of offenders might be kept under punishment.
London, England, 1867-03-16

IRISH RAILWAYS.

Mr. MAK M complained of the limited application
given by the Treasury to the act passed last year for the
relief of Irish railways, particularly of its refusal to use
the power in the 4th clause, to extend the time for making
loans to the railway companies.
After a discussion,

The CHANCELLoR of the EXCHEQUER intimated
that under the present circumstances of Ireland the
Treasury would be willing to render assistance to those
Irish railways which could give ample security—where-
upon Mr. Blake withdrew his motion.

PARIS, MARCH 16.
The Monikur of this morning publishes the
I..llowing despatch :

" VERA CRUZ, MARCH 6.

" All the French troops are ready to embark.
Marshal Ilazaine intends leaving Mexico on the
loth March, at which date the last French
~tidier will have quitted Vera Cruz."

TAE PLANTAGENET STATUES AT
PUNTEVRAULT.

M. illou, bdtoonier of the order of advocates in
P.iris, and MM. Rerryer, Dufaure, and Marie have even
their opinion that it would not he legal to make over to the
Queen of England the statues of the Plantagenet Kings
who are interred in Frantevrattlt without a vote of the
corps Legialatif. The opinion of M. Berryet is as fol-
lose :

" I entirely concur in the consultation of our brethren
of the bar of Anjou and in the opinion of M. Allow. It is
beyond doubt that by the terms of the laws under which
we live, the offer which has been made to the Queen of
England can only be realised by the authorisation of the
Corps Legialatif. The application for the statues in ques-
tion made in 1817 by the English government was refused
by the government of the Due de Richelieu. The
Queen of England is doubtless unaware of this fact,
and if she bad been aware of the historical circumstances
which are connected with the foundation and erection of
the monuments of Fontevrault, she would not have per-
mitted any interference being made in her name with the
pious and patriotic wishes of her ancestors, the kings who
sprang from the house of Anjou."

The Vienna Correspondence has received com-
munication of a letter addressed by Louis Kossuth to one
of his friends at Pesth, and dated February 27. In this
document he discusses the new situation of Hungary, and
says that he has always been of opinion that the laws of
la-is would triumph in the end, but that he had not fore-
seen that the cabinet of Vienna would act with so much
celerity and prudence. Kosenth speaks also of the forma-
tion of a " Danubian Confederation," and of the necessity
of leaving the word " liberty" for ever inscribed on the
banner of Hungary. He declares that he will end his life
in a foreign land, and adds :—" You know that I cannot
and ought not, to accept an amnesty. And, besides, of
what further use could Ibe The bitter years of exile
have broken my strength."

The house adjourned shortly after half-pact twelve
o'clock.
London, England, 1867-03-16

COVENT GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.)

The supply of most things has this week been about
equal to the demand, and no alteration worth quoting has
taken place in regard to prices. Hothouse grapes, both
new and retarded, still meet with a ready sale. Forced
vegetables comprise French beans, potatoes, sea kale,
and rhubarb. Pines are plentiful. Among pears are still
good examples of Ne Plus Meuris and F-aster Beurre.
Apples still consist of Court of Wick, Cox's orange
pippin, and one or two other dessert varieties. Oranges
continue good and cheap. Kent cobs may still be bad
at an advanced price. Broccoli continues to arrive from
the west of England and the Channel Islands. Potatoes
realise rather higher prices than they did hurt week.
Flowers chiefly consist of orchids, Chinese primulas.
violets, pelargoniums, cineranias. mignonette, and roses.
