TNB BIRIIINGHAW RIOT%

Observing that the above disturbances reveal the depths
of fanaticism still unsounded in the lower classes of Eng-
lish society, the Times says the presouiption is strong that
Mr. Murphy is the representative, if he he not the hired
agent, of some protestant organisation, nor is it unworthy
of remark that an organisation of this kind brought about
the riots of 1780. It would be idle to waste remonstrances
on persons who imagine that protestant truth can be in-
culcated by vulgar abuse of Roman catholics, or that any
religious object can be gained at the expense of law and
order. Tomorrow Mr. Murphy proposes to lecture on the
confessional. Of course, if the magistrates have no legal
power to silence him, or to block up the access to his
Tabernacle, he must be protected against brutal violence,
however provoked. If they have such a power, they should
exercise it firmly, and leave Mr. Whalley and his friends
to seek their remedy at the bar of public opinion.
It appears, says the Post, from the answer given last
night by Mr. Hardy to Mr. Mennen, that he is afraid no
steps can be takes against those who originated this dis-
graceful affair. It will seem strange, however, to common-
place people that the reason given for this inability to
bring them within the law is, that the language which pro-
voked the riot is held to be not " such as would necessarily
lead to a breach of the peace." The reason for its exclu-
sion from this category is, probably, that it was applied to
• body of men, and not to any single man ; but it is at
least unfortunate that it should go forth to the world and
to Mr. Murphy, that he has only to include a sofficient
number in his accusations of murder, lying, and picking
pockets to escape the punishment with which the laws
would certainly visit him if he used it to any one indivi-
dual.

Starazno or • Sofoornm.—On Monday morning
the fishing smack Elcel. Captain Charles Simpson, arrived
at Hull from the fishing grounds, and the captain reported
that he fell in with a schooner a few miles distant south-
east from Newsand Light, and not seeing any one onboard
they hove the smack to and bailed her, but received no
answer. They then launched the boat, and three of the
smack'screw went on boat.' the vessel, and found she was
thandoned, and to their astonishment they found the fire
burning and the clock going. They also found
several religious books on the table, and on the
cupboard door were inscribed the following words—
" Prepare to meet thy God.' They suppose that the
captain's wife, or at least some woman, had been on board,
for they found • pair of women's kid boots. They then
went astern and found a boat fastened to the vessel, but it
was full of water. They at once cut the boat adrift and
fastened their boat there, thinking that if they allowed
both the boats to remain together they might break in
pieces. The men at once let go the anchor and gave her
about 11100 fathoms of cable. However they very soon
found the vessel was in a sinking state, and their boat
was full of water. The smack, which was keeping as
near to the vessel as was safe, was signalled by their
shirts, they not being able to find any colours on board.
The captain and the only hand left on board the smack
immediately hove to, and the three men on hoard the
schooner managed to jump on board the smack as she
passed, and in about 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour
afterwards the schooner was seen from the smack to sink
in about seven fathoms of water. On the stem of the
schooner was painted The Dolphin, of Whitby, and she
was ooal laden. It is feared that the crew had got into
the boat which was found at the stern, and that it had
been swamped and the men drowned. The captain of
the smack is of opinion that the crew had been holding •
religious meeting of some kind on board just before they
left the vessel. Great praise is due to the captain and the
man remaining on board the smack for the clever manner
in which they hove the smack to and rescued the men
from the sinking schooner.—Eastern Morning News.

REFORM .VNETINOS AT NEWCASTLE.

On Monday a conference of delegates from the
Reform Association established in the district lying be-
tween the Tees and the Tweed was held in the Northern
Reform League's offices, Newcastle, in order to take such
steps with roped to the reform question as might seem
necessary under existing circumstances. Mr. Jotunt
COWIN, jun., the president of the league, was in the
chair. There was a large and influential attendance. The
following resolutions were discussed and adopted :
" That, in the opinion of tab isallaresee, inifitasetaGnint
to the comment Reform BiD that fixes any • or
rental re as the qualification for the borough fran •
will not acceptable to the reformers of this district.
That local members of parliament should be urged to
seek the removal of all cheeks that tend to curtail the
principle of household mange, which the government lay
down as the principle of their bill. That the local members
be urged to make a decided stand against the use of
voting papers in elections, and in favour of the admission
of ell householders, whether occupying an entire house or
part of a house, to the franchise. That this conference
has heard with deep regret of Mr. Gladstone's with-
drawal' from the position of leader of the liberal party in
the House of Commons. and expresses its unabated con-
fidence in his ability and honesty, but at the same time
hopes that he will see the necessity of declaring his adhe-
sion to the principle of household suffrage, pure andaimple.
That all oral reformers be invited to form themselves into
election committees fee the following purposes :—lst. To
mecum, with the least possible outlay, the return at the
next election of gentlemen now in parliament either
favourable to the principles of the league or to household
suffrage pure and simple, supplemented by a liberal lodger
franchise. 2nd. In the event of our local M.P.'s declining
to go to this extent, to take vigorous measures for re-
placing them by more advanced reformers."
In the evening an open air meeting was held. The
delegates walked in procession from the hotel headed by a
band, and were followed to the meeting by a large con-
course of reformism. The open space at the cattle market
was filled chiefly by workmen. Mr. Jos. Cowen, jun.
was called upon to preside. The following resolutions; were
adopted —" That the vacillating policy of the present
parliament in dealing with the reform question calls for
the continued agitation of the people, and this meeting
pledges itself not to relax any effort until a reform bill is
carried which will he satisfactory to the working classes of
the country." "That this meeting denounces the electoral
inequality sought to be raised by the bill of the present
government as unjust, urges the liberal members to seek
the withdrawal of all invidious checks, and allow the
principle of household suffrage, pure and simple, to be
established."

The Indipendance Beige of yesterday says :

There exists the same official silence on the question of
Luxemburg. There are no facts, no news ; nothing but
impressions which are founded rather on instinct than
on reason. This is the real position of affairs.
There is, however, little hope of success from
the mysterious efforts of diplomacy. People have no faith
In the disinterestedness of the powers who have been
called in as mediators, and, even at Berlin, where an ad-
journment of the decisive crisis was believed in a few days
back, we have reason to think today that they expect
events are rapidly hastening onward to a fatal issue.

(Prom the Liberk9.

The war which France will have to undergo will be a
terrible one ' • she will have to confront Geimany, united I
in a single state ; Germany fanaticised : Germany coveting
Alsace and Lorraine; perhaps even Ramis will come and
join her adversaries, so as once toy all to extinguish the
focus of democracy in Europe. It will be • war such as
the world has not seen for half a century. It will be •
liquidation of old Europe. But is Franco, which repulsed
invasion, who vanquished the European coalition, in a
condition to brave the danger We firmly believe she'
is. Nevertheless, the effort is possible only ander one
condition, namely, that France should be free, that the
war should be a national one, that the army' should be but
the advanced guard of the nation. Yea. The army of
Magenta and Belferino will be victorious on
the Rhine, but on condition that the war should
not be • duel between the Finnish government
and the German people. Yes, vLa= is certain, but on
condition that each of us is pre that every citizen
knows that be is individually in meted, that he can be
called on personally to defend the national soil and its
menaced independence. Yee, France will be victorious,
but on condition of being the France which thinks,
speaks, sings the Marmillaise—the France which fights ;
is proud and free—the France of '92 ! What,
Count Bismarck on the eve of war would affect airs of
moderation in order to leave to the nation the responsi-
bility of hostilities ; be would screen himself behind the
country, he would overexcite its patriotism, raise an en-
tire people against France • and, at this moment, to spare
French ears the noise of free meetings, the echo of grand
discussions, the government would isolate itself from
the country ! that the army should watch with one
eye France impatient to be free, while it fixes the other
on the foreigner! that when an entire people could be sent
to the frontier only an army would be sent there ! and
that, instead of the government showing itself to Europe
united with the nation, it would exhibit France divided
and paralysed. Is that possible ? Ah ! if it should be so, if
France did not shake off her indifference at the supreme
hour, if, before the national peril, the government adopted
measures of distrust towards the country instead of confid-
ing in its patriotism, we should doubt of the destinies of
France. But, once more we say, that is not possible, for
there are responsibilities which a government does not as-
sume. Without war, liberty was a necessity in our eyes ;
with it, freedom is a necessity in the eyes of every one ;
for that alone, in giving a national character to the
war, could save France from the grave peril which she
would have perhaps prevented.

Sixteen months before the failure, the bankrupt had a cur.

in favour of the bankrupt's brother, whereby about 1001.

THE LUXEMBURG QUESTION.

BERLIN. Arm!. 21
The North German Gazette of this evening pub-
lishes an article upon the Luxemburg question, in
which it says:—" The situation of affairs has not
changed within the last few days. The intelligence
respecting the basis of the settlement proposed by
the mediating Powers does not alter anything. The
proposals for mediation were not invoked from the
side of Prtunia. The Prussian government only
asked the Powers who guaranteed the treaties of
1839 for au expression of their views upon the
wishes manifested in Paris for the acquisition of
Luxemburg by France, but the right of garrison-
ing the fortress of Luxemburg, which belongs to
Prussia in virtue of earlier treaties, could not be
placed in question. Prussia is not willing to re-
nounce her right of garrisoning Luxemburg, and
all rumours to the contrary are without founda-
tion."

,
The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He said the found-
ing of the reserve and renewal accounts, referred to in the
report, had proved to be a sound measure. The reduction
in the receipts was explained in that document, the
main cause being a falling-off in the passengers and goods
carried. The yellow-fever was only a temporary draw-
back, but it had naturallydintinishedthenumberof passen-
gers. The Duke of Buckingham had, in the communications
on the subject, manifested great interest and knowledge. It
was a most satisfactory circumstance that the excess arising
from undertime premiums amounted to no les@ than3,Bso/.
—a proof that the service had been well performed. It was
quite a mistake to suppose that St. Thomas was peculiarly
affected with yellow fever ; on the contrary, it was under
ordinary circumstances healthy. Strange to say not a
single passenger died of yellow fever on board any of the
company's ships. In six years and three-quarters there
had been 15 deaths from fever, 14 from general illness,
and 14 from accidents. An excellent feeling had pre-
vailed between that company's officers and those of the
French Company.
After some discussion the report was adopted, and a
dividend of N. 10s. per share, with the addition of a bonus
of I/. 10s., declared.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

The Times contends that the government were
relieved from their obligation to support the Attorney-
General's clause, providing for the due demand of rates
from all voter*, by the altered view taken of it by the com-
mittee. Their true fault yesterday consisted in voting for
the clause at all. It is absurd to suppose that an engage-
ment on the part of a minister should override the good of
the country, and the agreement to assent to an impolitic
proposal was at an end when the opinion of the committee
was clearly shown to be opposed to it. The enfranchise-
ment can be sufficiently secured by the publication of rates
on the doors of all places of public assembly.
Nobody expects her Majesty's ministers, the Daily News
says, to abide by their politial pledges ; but the under-
standing into which they enter with the House of Commons
ought to be scrupulously adhered to. The ministerial
adhesion to Mr. Denman's proposition was the very
essence of the arrangement. The renunciation of the
Irish Reform Dili is another apparently capricious breach
of a specific promise.

The Telegraph observes that it is scarcely possible to
conceive a grosser breach of faith, or • proceeding more
subversive of mutual trust between the government and
the house, than that which was so flagrantly committed
yesterday, with the connivance of some, and the negative
assistance of other Ministers. The abuse of trust, how-
ever, has helped to demonstrate the absurdity of a rating
suffrage. No step which the committee can take, not
even the adoption of a clause enforcing the delivery of a
notice, will, so long as the personal payment of rates is the
foundation of the franchise, deprive the parish officials of
an undue, and it may be a corrupt, influence over the
constituency.

The Times protests against placing the Viceroy of Egypt
in an ordinary London Hotel, under the pretence of re-
ceiving him as the guest of the state. After showing the
great services rendered us by the Egyptian government in
permitting the establishment of the Overland Mail, and
in allowing us to transport a number of the reinforce-
ments at the time of the Indian mutiny acrom the
Isthmus, the Times proceed. to say emphatically that
every one of ordinary tutu and feeling must perceive that
nothing can be more shabby, more unworthy of our guest,
and more dishonourable to ourselves than the reception
which the government has devised. It i. enough that we
have let the Russian Emperor come within a few hours'
journey of our shores without asking him to cross the
Channel, although the heir to the British Crown was re-
ceived by him with magnificent hospitality. We have to
ask of the government that a second breach of good
manners shall not be perpetrated in the case of the Egyp-
tian ruler.

Mr. Baron Pigott said Mr. Francis haei a tight to address
the jury for the plaintiff if he liked.
Mr. Francis said he was afraid, after the intimation of
the jury, it would be useless to address them.
The plaintiff then elected to be nonsuited.
Mr. Baron Pigott observed that if people world engage
in these transactions they ought to settle them out of
court.

Mr. Serjeant Parry said that if the case had gone on it
would have been proved that the defendant never attended
a race but once in his life, and that he betted a

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Discussing the question " What is to be done
with the Irish church r the E.eantiaer comes to the con-
clusion that the endowment of all creeds is wholly un-
attain►ble. Lord Russell would equalise, by redistribut-
ing the ecclesiastical funds that now exist. Lord Derby,
if he be not greatly belied, is ready to attempt equalisa-
tion by the creation of new endowments for catholic@ and
pre@byterians. The Atomiser is persuaded that which-
ever alternative he tried, the constituencies of this
country will forbid their representatives to assent to
either; and that, after long and it may be angry discus-
sions to no purpose, statesoim will find themselves driven
to the one and only resource—that of obliterating the
cause of quarrel, and appropriating church property in
Ireland without reservation to purposes of general utility.
Treating of the proposed council at Rome, the Saturday
Review finds it difficult, sinless it should be thought expe-
dient to make the council declare the inviolability of the
Pope's dominions, to anticipate the nature of any other
business which can employ the spiritual parliament of the
inhabited world. The councils of Basel and Constance had
popes to censure or heretics to burr, and the council of
Trent, itself serving as a substitute for the free assembly
which had long been demanded by nations and by
princes, elaborated in the iotere.t of Rome the lax
doctrines and practices of the middle ages into a new
and elaborate system. The propose t council of Rome
has no relipintui dirfrranee to adjust, for bishops,
priests, and laity are all agreed on doctrinal questions;

all thi ee causes together would not be suthecient to summit

,rcr. showed that although before the defendants' corn-

seinelltimir new works, there WM more or less smoke in

the neighbourhood, the smoke from their present
f.,etory had produced a decided change in that
state of things, and had seriously interfered with the
plaintiff's enjoyment of his house and garden, and that
while the old works were mere workshops their new works
were large factories. The Master of the Rolls grankd the
injunction, whereupon the defendants appealed.
Mr. Jewel, Q.C., and Mr. Everitt, in support of the
appeal ; Mr. Southgate, Q.U., and Mr. Robinson for the

Ilia lordship having stopped the argument of counsel,
suggested that there should be a trial at common law. He

hit- that he could not dispose of the case- satisfacto.

numerous sovereigns, and the assembling of large

your orders an opportunity of showing its thorough

of the measures taken at all points to ensure the

mand note, and that no rate shall be deemed to be payable

street, accompanied by one of their workmen, whew head;
was bandaged, attended to complain that their servant w.;
savagely attacked, near Constitution•hilLoo returning heise
the previous evening, bya bodyof men whospranguprin him
suddenly and stabbed him in the forehead with • kmh. or
some sharp instrument, and then decamped. The unto,
twiste man was too much hurt and confused at toot
to be able to identify either of his assailants, and in this
dilemma they were at a loss to know how to act. The
men at work were narrowly watched by the men on strike
awl this was a sample of what they were prepartsi to do
if opportunity arose. The blow, as his worship would per.
ceive, was evidently aimed at the man's eve, and was
no doubt intended to deprive him of his eye-sight, which
it would have done it half an inch lower. Could not the
police be employed to protect these men The injured
man had never been connected with the union, or offended
anyone.
Mr. Vaughan said it was a most dastardly attack, and it
was much to be regretted that the cowardly assailants of
this man could not be identified and punished. If the
union men combined in this way to assail the people at
work, surely the latter would be justified in combining
also to defend themselves, and should go home in bodies,
and protect one another.
Mr. Pulford said this was done already as far as possible,
but this man lived out of the way.
The applicants were advised to apply to floothuid-yrird.

BIGLAND WITHOUT A COUItT.

Mentioning that missions are about to be sent
to Vienna and St. Petersburg for the purpose of investing
the Emperors of Russia and Austria with the Order of the
Garter, and that the Sultan will come here to receive
the same honour in person, the Times proceeds to allude to
the daily records from Balmoral, and to comment upon the
injurious effect which a protracted eclipse of her Majesty's
prerogative as the visible head of English society has pro-
duced. The reception of foreign princes and foreign ministers,
the holding of drawing-rooms and levees, occasional ap-
pearances on public occasions, and all the nameless cour-
tesies and hospitalities of a court—these are just the acts
which cannot be neglected without risk of consequences
which all would deplore. English society will have
leaders, and if the sovereign abandons the leadership,
others will inevitably usurp the place, to the injury,
perhaps, of that purer morality which the example
of the Queen has done so much to establish.
But we have also obligations to perform, and even debts
to repay, to foreign nations. At this moment the Sove-
reigns of Russia and Prussia, with other princes of minor
rank, are the guests of the Emperor Napoleon, within 10
or 12 hours of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
The Czar, in particular, who entertained the Prince of
Wales last winter so magnificently, and who seldom conies
so far west, ought surely to visit our cwital. He cannot,
however, visit it in her Majesty's absence, and our
national character for hospitality is compromised by a
contretemps for which the nation is not responsible.
Thom is no true loyalty in disguising the inevitable results
of this experiment if carried on too long. It would not
be safe to allow another generation to grow up rarely, if
ever, seeing the face of their Sovereign, and only knowing
by report that she had once been the centre of a brilliant
court, and moved freely among her people, and it is in the
interest of the monarchy itself that the Timm ventures
once more to express the hope that her Majesty will soon
resume the place which not even the heir-apparent can
hold for her.
