Woollett moved for a role calling upon an attorney
4answer certain matters contained in an affidavit made
Mr. Sullivan, the applicant. It appeared that an at-
torney at Swansea owed Kr. Sullivan 51. A writ
for the amount was forwarded to the attorney

savoy, and in consequence of the evasive answers pro-
cowlings were taken against him and judgment obtained
for 71.2 x.
Yr. Justine Blackburn said that as the applicant had
obtained a judgment against the attorney, be must take
such a course as would make it fruitful. It was not now •

THE CHARITY CHILDREN AT ST. PAUL'S.
(THIS DAY.)

The anniversary meeting of the childrenbelonging
to the various parochial schools in the metropolis took
place to-day at St. Paul's, under the care of the Society
of Patrons. The progress of the children to the
cathedral is at all tunes a pleasing sight, and their
neatness and cleanliness to-day was the subject
of general remark. The schools in most in-
stances were preceded by the " head boy" carrying the
banner indicative of the parish but among the officials
who accompanied the children the absence of the
antiquated cocked bat worn by the beadle was particularly
observed. The general company began to arrive by 11
o'clock, after which many distinguished persons assembled
in the Cathedral, including the Right Hon. Lord Fever-
sham, President of the Society of Patrons. Divine service
commenced at 12 o'clock, the sermon being
preached by the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Roches-
ter. Before prayers the Hundredth Psalm was sung and
the psalms for the day were °haunted by the gentlemen of
the choir, the children joining in the Gloria Patria to each
psalm. After the first lesson, a Te Deuin ; and
after the second lesson, Jubilate Deo, were exe-
cuted by the choir and the children ; and the
Coronation Anthem, which pre ceded the prayer
for the Queen, was effectively rendered. The choral por-
tion of the proceedings also included a chorale, " Sleepers,
awake! a voice is calling," from verses of the 104th
Psalm ; and a grand chorus (Hallelujah) by the choir, the
children taking part.

MR. LOCKE KING'S REAL ESTATE INTESTACY BILL.

- -
The Post declares the above measure, which was rejected
yesterday by the Commons, to represent but one of the
many attempts which are made from time to time with
a view to obtaining a footing for democratic, not to say
socialist, principles among the institutions of the country.
From the time when every acre in the kingdom was held
by a direct grant from the sovereign as possessor of the
whole, it has been considered that land cannot be said to
be possessed in the same sense that personal property is.
The Stir being of those who disbelieve in the principle
of the law of primogeniture and entail, when the Attor•
ney-General says that Mr. Locke King's Real Property In-
testacy Bill is the thin end of a wedge which will destroy
that law he uses an argument, to its thinking, very potent
in favour of the proposed reform. Nothing but the most
stringent action of an artificial law could ever have made
the disinheriting of younger children a common practice,
or one which oould be tolerated by mankind.
Even now we English stand alone in this respect.
No other country locks its land up in this way.
Its but fair to the promoters of the bill yesterday to
say that it only applies to cases of intestacy, and that any-
one enamoured of the old mode of succession would still
be able under its provisions to transmit his property in
the old way. But the small minority of yesterday fully
• shows that the whole principle is involved.

THE DISCLOSURES AT THE STRAND UNION.

The shocking disclosure now under investigation at the
Strand Union Workhouse is not, says the Times, of a
single case of neglect. A vast system of administra-
tive cruelty in the treatment of the sick poor has been
dragged to light almost accidentally. But for the confes-
sion of a nurse, who communicated with the committee of
the association recently formed to inquire into such mat-
ters, the veil of interested reticence which shrouds the
horrors of our workhouse infirmaries might not have been
so rudely lifted for months, or even for years. The sick,
it is now seen, were lodged promiscuously over the house ;
there is scarcely an attempt at classification. Not only is
the overcrowding scandalous, but the incompetence and
misconduct of the nurses, who .ere all paupers, almost
exceeds belief. Some were unable to read, and the medi-
cines, though duly labelled with instructions in writir?,
were administered by them almost indiscriminately. Many
were drunken, and it appears that it was a regular prac-
tice for nurses to beg, or buy, or steal beer or other
stimulants furnished to the sick by the doctor's orders.
The Times indignantly asks why it is that we are left to
learn this wholesale inhumanity from the voluntary infor-
mation of a nurse when we have a department established
to protect both ratepayers and paupers, especially charged
with the duty of checking anew, and provided with as
ample staff of officers for no other object!
The Tdegrapk, selecting some of the most painful of the
statements which have been made in this inquiry, adds,

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

gals DAY.)

THE APPEAL TO THE SHOED.
The events, remarks the Times, which have
attended the abandonment of the conference, make it
almost evident that though Austria alone proclaimed her
reservations beforehand, yet both Italy and Prussia en-
tertained similar resolutions of foregoing nothing in the
conference. In the view of the Times the violation of the
convention of Gerstein, • private engagement, is hardly
equivalent to the violation of • treaty. Having sketched
how the conflicting claims in the Duchies arose and were
constituted, and having shown that they were all in
defiance of German law, our contemporary adds that it is
terrible to think how this storm, which is now rolling
towards the point where the first wrong was done may
spread. In the rear of Italy, which makes no secret of
her designs in Venetia to be asserted at all hazards,
stands France, and in the rear of Austria stands Russia,
already committed, in common opinion, to some interest
in the fray. It is even said that the designs of Italy
against the Adriatic provinces of Austria have suggested
some political concert between the Emperor and the
Sultan ; nor does anybody seem to doubt, indeed, that the
war which begin, upon the Baltic may extend to the
I Black Sea.
The Pat thinks it is not improbable that Austria has
convoked the estates of Holstein with the express object
of precipitating the war. She is naturally anxious to
hasten a struggle which she rightly regards as inevitable,
whilst at the same time she desires to throw upon Prussia
the odium of striking the first blow. Before the conflict
terminates who shall say what additions may not be made
to the present belligerents
The spectacle which Italy presents is the one feature
that reconciles the Triegraph to the shameful renewal of
slaughter in the centres of human cultivation. War is full
of events which none can foresee, but it looks like a fore-
gone conclusion to match archduke commanders, a bank.
rupt exchequer, and soldiers who hardly know whom they
are going to fight, with the pats ioticgenerals and regiment,
the splendid spirit and hopes, which march under the green
tricolour to redeem Venice.
The danger which to the Star seem, most menacing for
Austria is the revolutionary element which a great war
almost necessarily stirs up. A defeat of Prussia upon
some historic battlefield might be fatal to the monarchy ;
a defeat of Austria either in Silesia or Venetia would

bring the roar of revolution within hearing of the Hun•
garian people. The counsels of the more ardent, hnpul.
sive, and zealous patriots would then have full sway, and
protesting, memorialising, and remonstrating give place to
action.

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

Last night a private meeting of ladies and gen-
tlemen interested in the subject of female emigration
was held at the office of the National Association for the
Promotion of Social Science, for the purpose of giving a
reception to Miss Maria Rye, a lady well known in con-
nexion with the Female Emigration Society, and who has
just returned to England from a visit to the Australian
colonies, whither she proceeded three years ago with a
batch of lOU female emigrants sent out by that society.
The company assembled shortly after eight o'clock, and
after partaking of tea and coffee adjourned to the library,
where Colonel SYKES took the chair. Among those present
were Mr. Pollard-Urquhart, M.P., Mr. C.. More, Madame
Bodiharn and party, Mrs. and Miss ('orfield, Mr. T. Hare,
Mr. C. R. Ford, Mrs. and Miss Morel, Mr. Blackbourne
and party, Mr. H. Roberts, Mr. J. Winstone, Mr. Scott
and party, Mr. J. H. Beggs and Mrs. Beggs, Miss Parkes,
Mr. Jordan, Mr. F. Hill and party,Miss Lewin, Mr. and
Mrs. Knox, Mr. Westlake, jun., Mr. A. O. Charles, the
Rev. Mr. Clay, Miss Webber, &c.
A letter was read from the Earl of Shaftesbury, express-
ing his regret that he was unable to be present in con-
sequence of attending the Field-lane 'tagged School
meeting.
The CHAIRMAN having opened the proceedings in a few
appropriate words,
Miss RYE came forward and read a very interesting
account of her visit to the antipodes.

THE FELLOWS OF COLLEGES.

Though Mr. Bouverie's bill to release fellows of colleges
from the declarations required on their election would be
a slight change in itself, the Times believes it would pro-
duce extensive results. At Oxford it would effect no
practical alteration in the position of nonconformists, and
at Cambridge it would simply open fellowships to dis-
senters in such colleges—six in number—as have no sta.
Cites or bye-laws in the way, and in the latter case would
leave the colleges free to act in accordance with
their statutes, or to obtain the consent of the
crown to an alteration. But in any case it is
evident that • constant agitation would be kept
up for the throwing open of all the colleges. The
Times seems to doubt whether there is any object to be
gained by such a change for which it would be worth while
to encounter the possible inconveniences. At all events it
thinks that, if introduced at all, such schemes should
appear under the responsibility, and be prepared under
the careful supervision of the government itself.
The Herald finds in the very proposal of such a bill a
warning against allowing any more of the democratic
element to be poured into the Rouse of Commons.
If the governing bodies at the colleges should ever be com-
posed of various creeds, many, who now think otherwise,
would be induced to advocate • severance [of the ties that
now bind the colleges to the universities. If dissenters be
really so anxious to participate in endowments they are at
perfect liberty even now to establish halls and colleges of
their own at either university. Let them transfer their
youth thither, and be content with what is their own.

She Mated that a short time ago she sew an advertise-
ment in a weekly newspaper of • gentleman wanting a
wife with • little money. The advertiser set forth that be
was in • good position, and had no other means of meeting
with • wife. She accordingly corresponded with him and
had several interviews, whin be promised to marry her.
In the cosine of their acquaintance he borrowed several
sums of money from her, his excuse being that be had not
been able to draw his quarterly dividend, and that he re-
quired • little cash to go into the country on business con-
nected with their matrimonial prospects. Ballwin that
his intentions were honourable, she let him have several
sums of money, but when she demurred to advancing any
more he cooled down and eventually left her in a diagrams-
ful manner. She now wanted to know what she could do
with him. Could she not have him punished for obtaining
money under false pretences.'
Woolrych was afraid not. Where did he reside'
Applicant replied that he lived in the Landon-road,
within the district of the court. He obtained the money
from her under the promise of marrying her. Surely that
was a false pretence.
Mr. Woolrych told her that it was such • case that he
could not interfere with. It wee only a debt, and she
must pressed against him in the county court if else wanted
to recover her money. He asked her if the man had treated
her in any more serious manner.
Applicant, in an evasive sort of manner, said that what
she required was some means of punishing him for his un-
manly eonduct. She understood now that be was in a
respectable situation at • wine office, and had served other
females in the same way.
Mr. Woolrych told her that she had lent him the money,
therefore it was merely a debt. Without making any re-
marks on the man's conduct, he advised her to
against him in the county court, as that was trio%
course ale amid passe 'Lair the eircumetences
The applicant thanked Lis worehip and withdrew.

A wen-dreamed man, who gave the name of Henri
Harding, and wee deamiW ea being a warehouseman,
wed at No. 17, Canute-street, City, wee charged before
lfr. eterman Bailey with a aeries of ruffianly and wanton

amanita.
From the evidence of WiElam Jarman, an intelligent
lad, employed as errand boy by Moms. Myers, of Wood-
street, it appeared that shortly before two o'sloek on the
afternoon of Saturday last, he was passing !long Wood-
street, when the prisoner, who was very tipsy without
saying a word struckhim, violent blow in pit of the
, stomach, though the lad had oven him no cause, but, on
' the contrary, had left the foot-pavement to allow him to
pass. He was followed and taken into custody.
Edward Murton, 433 City Folios, proved that before this
assault he saw the premier Bering tiorjortnatecoPride,
knocking against and striking all persons in
including two ladies. He aoiordingly took the prisoner
the polberstetion, where he was extremely violent, and
made use of the most abusive and disgusting language to
the inspector and ell persons who were present.
The prisoner now expressed his contrition, but de-
dared that he had no recollection of anything that bad
ooeuned.
Mr. Alderman Begley remarked that • clearer ens of
gross misconduct had never been proved before • magis-
trate. It was intolerable that a person like the

NSW ROYALTY.

This little house, formerly known as the Boho
Theatre, and lately brought into metropolitan prominence
by the respective managements of Mm. Selby, the Misses
Pelham, and Mr. Eliot Eisler. has passed into the hands
of Miss M. Oliver, who is supported by a good burlesque
company. Miss Oliver adheres to a programme similar to
that of her predecessors, her chief opening piece being a
burlesque by Mr. R. Reece, called Ulf, the ifinsted. The
subject—an old German legend—is taken direct from a
little book by the late Robert Brough, and the burlesque is
a fair copy by a young hand of our modern extravaganza
writers. The piece has been elegantly put upon the stage.
and is well provided with taking songs, magic, and dancer

THE STRAND.

- -
The reputation which the Strand has acquired
for the production of succeedul burlesque will not in the
least be diminished by Mr. Burnand's new extravaganza
which vrasbrought before the public last night as the Easter
Monday pieoe. Why Mr. Burnamd should have added to
the simple title of Peri' the women at or Vise Laapriere,
it would be ditfieelt to amount for, except on I
the prineiple that for preeingisa panMers the most
remote analogies have an irresistible faminatioa,
and the phonetic resemblance between the name of the
author of a classical dictionary and a French imperial ery
was too tempting to be disregarded: The burlesque was
decidedly successful, and will become popular. Mr. Mus-
grave deserves a word of praise for the lively music that
accompanies the pion.

did so, • package of madder which was being

was no evidence of negligence or want of skill on the part
of defendants. For upwards of twenty year they had
been in the habit of unloading in such slings as this

TKO AZIOTIO-PHOSSIAIt DMUS'.

The Daily Nees describes the circular note which Count
Bismarck has mused to be addressed to the minor states of
Germany as perhaps the most shameless document hitherto
Lewd by the most shameless of contemporary states.
mem, and as an insult to the patriotism of Germany and the
common sense of Europe. There is scarcely a paragraph
that does not either express or imply • deliberate and
notorious falsehood. Austria is not seeking war, but
Prussia has openly announced a policy of conquest
and annexation, the success of which would be
equivalent to the withdrawal of Austria from
participation in German affairs. Let Prussia abandon
her present policy of aggrandisement, and she will have no
enemy in Europe. It is satisfactory to know that Count
Bismarck, in his appeal to the secondary German govern-
ments, has not hitherto succeeded in a single instance,
but, on the contrary, three of them have formed a means
of retreat for the Prussian government by join-
ing in their efforts to bring the quarrel formally before
the Germanic Diet for decision, where the instinct of
self-preservation would place them by the side of Austria
for the maintenance of the public law and the honour of
Germany. In this juncture of affairs, the direct address
which Austria has once more made to the Prussian govern-
ment will be supported by the voice of Germany and public
opinion in Europe.
The Telegraph thinks the Italian government will for the
present maintain a policy of inaction, neither Italy nor
Prussia being likely to enter on any engagements while Use
Emperor Napoleon continues to occupy neutral position in
the controversy. la the event of war it is not so certain to
which side Italy would incline. Supposing the fortune of
arms should in the first instance go against the empire,
Austria would then be obliged to withdraw her troops
from. Venetia ; and as in that event the territory vacated
would be inseatly occupied by Italy, the government of
Vienna might discern the wisdom of securing the nee.

HESSE CASSEL AND THE FEDERAL DIET.

CABBFX, Jinn 8.

The electoral government dissents from the pro-
posal of the military committee of the Federal
Diet recommending that the contingent of Elec-
toral Hesse and those of the Thuringian States
should garrison the Federal fortress of Mayence.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
FLORENCE, Jura 8.

This afternoon in the Chamber of Deputies,
Signor Ricciardi questioned the government re-
specting the measures adopted for the suppression
of brigandage, and condemned the arrests made
by the prefects. He considered the institution of
vigilance committees to be a dangerous measure.
Signor Chiaves, Minister of the Interior, defended
the conduct of the prefects, which he declared to
be deserving of praise in the present excep-
tional circumstances. Ho was convinced that
with the means at their disposal the
government would be able to defeat any
criminal attempts. The minister expressed
confidence in the patriotism of the juntas formed
in the southern provinces, to whom had been con-
fided the work of maintaining public safety. Signor
Crispi defended the late exceptional measures
adopted by the government in the southern pro-
vinces. The sitting closed without a division on
this subject.

ELECTORAL CORRUPTION.

The adjourned debate upon the motion of the govern-
ment for concurring with the House of Commons in ad-
dresses to the crown for royal commissions to inquire into
the elections for Lancaster, Great Yarmouth, Reigate, and
Totness ; and upon Earl Grey's amendment in favour of a
"wend inquiry into bribery at elections, was resumed by
Lord EBURY, who proposed as an amendment to
the noble earl's (Lord Grey's) Let proposal, " That the
house is not therefore prepared to assent to the address to
which its concurrence is eked by the House of Commons,
but is ready to join with that house in concerting measures
for the suppression of bribery at elections, which, in its
opinion is capable of being dealt with on the knowledge
it already possesses."
Lord GREY repeated his arguments in favour of the ap-
pointment of a commission to assist parliament in taking
steps to repress bribery, and contended that all former in-
qMies into particular ogees had been productive of evil
rather then good. He pointed out that a commission
such as he proposed could take eopiisanoe of expenditure
at elections, which although not exactly of a corrupting
nature, was yet unnecessary, and ought not to be allowed.
Lord ROWELL called upon the house to adopt the re-
solution to concur with the House of Commons in an ad-
dress to the crown for the appointment of special commis-
sions, beouue, be said, although they were not bound by
the decisions of the other house, yet having before them
no measure for the prevention or punishment of bribery,
it would be unreasonable to withhold their assent to the
institution of proper inquiries.
Lord BROUGHAM doubted the efficacy of a commis-
sion for the prevention of bribery, and thought that the
House of Commons had to a great extent the remedy in
their own hand&
Upon a division, the resolution for the appointment of
a commission to inquire into the proceedings at the late
election at Lancaster was agreed to by a majority of 77
to 17.
Similar resolutions were also agreed to in respect of
Gat Yarmouth, Reigate, and Totnes elections.
Upon the motion for the going into committee upon the
Exchequer and Audit Departments Bill,
Lord HELPER moved the reference of the bill to a
select committee, expressing his own doubt whether the
vesting of the powers and functions of the Audit Board in
a single individual would be an advantage to the public.
Lord GRANVILLE defended the bill upon the ground
that it bad undergone the examination ot'' the roost ex-
perienced authorities in the House of Commons, and it
would, therefore, be desirable that any criticisms passed
upon it in this house should be made at its corporate
sittings, rather than in a select committee.
After a few words from Lord NORTHBROOK, the
amendment was negatived, and the bill passed through
committee.
After the disposal of some other business, their lordships
adjourned at 8 o'clock.

LEICEITER-SQUARE.

Mr. WALDEGRAVE•LEBLIE asked the hon. member
for Bath whether the Metropolitan Board of Works had
any intention of causing the incloeure in Leicester-square
to bo turned into a garden or ornamental ground, under
the provisions of the Gardens in Towns Protection Act
(1863) ; and, if op, how soon the garden would be proceeded
with.

Mr. TITS said that there were 153 spaces which mud
acme under the operation of the act of 1662, of which 26
were extremely neglected, and as Leicester-square was the
worst, the Metropolitan Board of Works determined to
take it in band at once. In 1664, acting under the advice
of counsel, they gave notice of their intention to put the
act in force ; they immediately received notice from the
owners that they had committed a trespass. An action to
settle the question was tried at the end of 1866, and a
verdict was taken by consent, reserving the points of law
for argument upon a special case. The special case had,
be understood, been agreed upon, but it could not
be argued until November next, and in the meantime of
course the Board of Works could take no steps in the
matter. If the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench de-
cided that the powers given to the Metropolitan Bo.uvi by
the act of parliament were not sufficient to authorise them
to deal with Leicester-square and similar spaces, it would
probably be his duty at some future time to introduce an
amending bill into that house in order to wake the act
operative.

THE CAPTURE OF PROPERTY AT SEA.

Mr. GREGORY, repeating • question which he had
asked on a previous evening, inquired of the rmier.Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs whether by the mercantile code of I
the kingdom of Italy the capture of an enemy's merchant '
vessels had been abandoned by the Italian government in
all eases in which similar concessions should have Peen
made to Italy, and whether the principle of the immunity
of private property from capture at sea had also ben re-
cognised by Austria and Prussia.
Mr. LAYARI) said that, as he told his hon. friend the
other night, the Austrian and Prussian governments
had issued declarations announcing their willingness to
exempt merchant vessels of belligerents from capture. He
was then unable to say whether the maritime law of Italy
would enable the Italian government to take a similar
course, but he had since learned that it would.

THE JAMAICA COMMISSION.
In answer to Mr. GILPIN,.

Mr. CARDWELL said that the report of the Jamaica
Commission and the minutes of the oral evidence which
were brought home by the commissioners were so volumi-
nous that although he had got the greater portion he bad
not yet received the whole of them from the printer. The
documents which were brought home subsequently by the
aecretary were being prepared for publication by that gen-
tleman and the commissioners, and had not yet reached
him. He hoped that the report and appendices would be
printed and circulated about the early part of the week
after next.

Major KNOX—Has the right hon. gentleman taken any
steps with reference to the bill of indemnity ?
Mr. CARDWELL—No. The time for that will he when
the government have received and considered the whole of
the evidence.

LORD CLARENDON AND THE BELGIAN PRESS.-
PERSONAL EXPLANATION.

On the motion that the SPEAKER should leave the chair
in order that the house might go into supply,
Mr. DISRAELI took occasion of the motion for going
into committee of supply to revert to the charges which
hp made the other night against Lord Clarendon's conduct
at the Conference of Paris, particularly in reference to
the Belgian press, and read from the protocols to show
that be had been guilty of no eiagrration, quoting also
from a speech of Mr. Gladstone, still more condemnatory
is it' tone.

THE SCOTCH AN!) IRISH REFORM BILLS.

it F. HEYCIATE asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer when he intended to proceed with the second reading
of the Scotch and Irish Reform Rills.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not pre-
pared to fix a day for the consideration of these hills, but
he did not think it would be an early one.
Mr. WHITFAIDE asked whether the right hon. gentle-
man would promise not to proceed with these bills until
the English measure was disposed of.
The CHANCELLOR of theIEXCHEQUER said that he
was not prepared to enter into any absolute engagement
upon the subject, but at present the intention of the go-
vernment was to persevere with the clauses of the English
bill, and not allow the Scotch or Irish measures to inter-
fere with its progress. (Hear, hear.)
