THE UNITED STATL9.

Representing, in the dispute between President Johnson
and the Congress, the former to act solely from honest con-
viction and experience, and the latter from the spirit of
party, the Times aides entirely with Mr. Johnson. The Con-
gress desires to establish complete political equality between
black and white, while Mr. Johnson objects that thiswould
practically consummate the doom of the negro by making
the white man his enemy. The radicals think they can
protect the black by special legislation and official agency;
Mr. Johnson replies that this is impossible, and that the
six millions of southern citizens must prevail against the
cimbrous and uncertain section of a department.

In the third instance in which Mr. Johnson has exer.
allied the power of veto, that rebstive to the admission of
Colorado as a new state, he has taken the opportunity, the
Daily News thinks, of putting Congress in the wrong, the
territory being so thinly peopled and so wanting in the
elements of progress that to have elevated it to a state,
though it would have added to the free and loyal
element of the government, would have established
an inconvenient, if not a dangerous, precedent. But
if the President has the advantage of Congress in the pre-
sent matter, he gains it by the use of an argument which
condemns his own policy in the more important matter of
reconstruction. Mr. Johnson, who would not have the
30,000 people of Colorado equally represented with
130,000 people of New York, has no objection to permit
8,000,000 of Southern whites to balance 12,000,000 of
Northern citizens. The Daily News trusts that the ad-
mirable practical scheme of the constitutional amendment
will emerge from the Senate deprived of the clause dis-
franchising the Southern population. With that clause in
it, Mr. Johnson might fairly make another exercise of his
' veto ; without it he cannot consistently do so.
The Telegraph treats of the effect of the monetary crisis
upon our American trade, arriving at the conclusion that
there is no reason for apprehending any present disas-
trous effect to our commerce from our relations with the
United States. That a few houses o. the other side, under
special circumstances, may feel inconvenience from the
difficulties that have pressed on us so severely, is to be
expected ; but there is no ground whatever for anticipating
any effect sufficiently extensive to react adversely ou
British commerce or finance.

FORCED LOAN IN VENETIA.
VIENNA, MAY D.

An Imperial decree has been published this
morning, ordering a forced loan of 12 millions of
florins in the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom.

The proclamation accompanying the decree states
this measure to have been adopted in consequence
of the law of the sth inst., in reference to the
government currency, being inoperative for Lom
bardo-Venetia, which must nevertheless contribute
towards the extraordinary necessities of the coun-
try. The payments of the loan are to be made in
silver or gold, in return for which the government
will issue at par bonds of 100, 10, and 1 florins,
bearing interest at 0 per cent.
The committee for the control of the public debt
will control the issue of the bonds, which is not to
exceed the amount of 12 million florins.

11.UOIOURS OF REFUGE.

Mr. PE.VAP. a.,ked the President of the Ecurd of Trade
whether her Majesty's government pmpcsed to take any
action in the construction of harbours of refuge, having
special reCerence en t!.e report of the coatinissioners on har-
hours of rAnge, 157,9, and to the annual returns of wrecks
presented to this house.
Mr. M. Clft.SON replied that be could only say that the
government did not propose to take any course different
from that which they ordinarily pursued with regard to
harbours of refuge. Money had been advanced, and was
being advanced to promote the construction and improve-
'sent of harbours. several of which would fulfil the purpose
d harbours of refuge. As far as the wreck returns were
concerned there was nothing in them to show that any
large proportion of the casualties arose from want of har-
bours of refuge.

THE RECENT ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON
RAILWAY.

I

Mr. BUXTON asked the President of the Board of
Trade, what the had been of the official inquiry
respecting the railway accident that occurred at the
Osterham Junction, April 30, by which three lives were
kot and several persons watt seriously injured.
Mr. M. GIESON said the railway inane( for had made an
examination into the anises of this accident, and his
report would be laid on the table in a few days, but there
were a few words at the conclusion of the report which
gave the ret.ult of theand they were as follows—
that the calamity sv.o evidently the result of the system
of starting trains by hand signals, but it is satisfactory to
know Mat thin system is to be given up on the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway."
LICENSING FPI:LW-HOUSES AND DERR-HOUSES.
Mr. JAMES asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whether it was the intention of the government
to introduce during the present session a bill for altering
the system of licensing public-houses and beer-houses, and
for placing them upon an equality as mortis the sale of
Tagnors.
Sir G. GREY said he had intended to have introduced a

fall on this subject, but the bill would necessarily be of
general importance, and would cause a great deal of dis-
cussion, and the state of public business being such that
♦here would be no prospect of passing it, he had decided
aot to introduce it this session.
THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE BANK OF
FRANCE.

AKROYD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether his attention had been called to the difference in
the rate of interest at present charged by the Bank of
France, now 4 per cent., and that charged by the Bank of
Engtind, i,ow 10 per milt., and to the prejudicial effect
"which this difference of no leas than 6 per cent, in the
-if ' - . . .

,
value of money had upon British mercantile and inannfac-
: l' taring enterie-ise, both in the home and foreign markets.
Whether he LA aware that, by an Imperial decree passed in
i NC
tionsl
causes which •it frsquent intervals, and at almost periodical
• epochs, b'se bron;ht about the rise in the rate of Interest,"
and, whether, seeing that the variations in the rate of
interest have been more frequent and more extreme on the

the operations of the Bank of England, and into the causes
of the excesve fluctuations in the Bank rate of discount,

inquiry into the cause and effect of thu present monetary

THZ J/AIIAICA COMMISSION.

Remarking that we are not altogether without the
means of anticipating the general effect of the report
of the Jamaica Commissioners, the Tana proceeds
to describe the probable character of the docu-
ment in a manner resembling the forecast in peat days
of royal speeches. Respecting the origin of the
outbreak, it is prepared to hear that in the
opinion of the commissioners, the proclamation of martial
law, with all that it involved, was during the first few days
warranted by paramount necessity ; but it is equally cer-
tain that most of the severities were inflicted after the ces-
sation of armed resistance, and when those who were hanged
or flogged might safely have been reserved for the ordinary
tribunals. This consideration specially applies to the ease
of Gordon, against whom the moat searching inquiry
ranging over a period of fifty days has failed to produce
any evidence inconsistent with his innocence. Indeed,
we are compelled to add that he was deliberately cut off
from the means of clearing himself. Upon this cruel and
unscrupulous act, as well as upon the reckless disregard
of human rights, if not the inhumanity, displayed by
several military officers, we may expect the commissioners
to pronounce a decisive condemnation. The alleged enor-
mities of Mr. Ramsay, having been virtually removed from
their cognizance by the indictment against him for murder,
will call for no special comment. A more delicate and
difficult teak will be that of awarding the proper degree of
censure to the conduct of Governor Eyre. It will
be impossible for the commissioners to escape the
painful duty of submitting to her Majesty that Mr.
Eyre proved signally unequal to the first obligations of a
governor, that he was not above colonial passions and par-
tisanship, but yielded to the panic of his advisers where
be ought, above all, to have maintained a calm judgment.
The further duty of acting on this opinion will of course
devolve on the Colonial Minister. The Times believes that
the total number of " rebels" ascertained by the com-
missioners to have been shot or hanged is 438.
About 600 persons are found to have been flogged, and—
what is more startling—no less than 1,000 houses of the
peasantry, affording shelter for some 4,000 souls, were
burnt down. We may express a hope that a protest will
be made by the commissioners against this last proceed-
ing, and that the flogging of women will be strongly repro-
bated. The evidence will hardly be less valuable than the

report itself ; but the Tints traststhe oomniissioners will

not have shrunk from drawing their own conclusions from
it on all material points. It was to enlighten public
opinion, no less than to inform her Majesty's government,
that the inquiry was instituted, and this object would be
only half attained if we should be left to ourselves to
grapple with a chaos of disputed facts.

PASSENGERS.

Robert Harrry, who was described as a horse breaker at
Mitcham. was summoned under the Railway Act for
cutting the lining and seats in a second-class carriage, and
also with breaking the windows, thereby causing damage
to the amount of 2/. 10s.
Mr. T. Bent, the superintendent of police on the South
Western Railway, attended to prosecute the defendant,
who pleaded not guilty.
Mr. W. Berry, an accountant, stated that on the 19th ult.
he was a passenger by the 7.11 train from Weybridge to
Wimbledon. Between Surbiton and Malden he saw a
quantity of stuff—something like hair—thrown out of the
window of the compartment in front of him. He looked
through the small window in the panel of the car-
riage separating the two compartments, and saw the
seat all torn and one of the windows broken. While
on the journey he heard the breaking of another
window in the same compartment. 'Witness alighted at
the Wimbledon station, and called the attention of the
stationmaster to the state of the carriage.
In answer to questions, the witness said that on look-
ing through the window into the compartment he saw
that the defendant was the only passenger there. He
was then walking up and down the carriage.
Several of the officials were examined, from whose evi- I
dence it appeared that the defendant also alighted at the
Wimbledon station, and went from the up to the down
platform without delivering up his ticket.
The defendant denied knowing anything whatever about
the damage. He said that he got into the train at Sur-
biton station, and there were other passengers in the
carriage with him.
The guard qi the train, however, proved that the win-
dows of the carriage were not broken when it was taken on
at Surbiton station.
Mr. Ingham ordered the defendant to pay the amount
of damage, V. 10s., and a flue of 5/., with 2s. coda.
The defendant not being provided with the money, and
• having no goods on which a distress could be levied for the
I amount, was committed to prison for three months, with
hard labour.

frosty with the United States.
Mr. WATKIN thought he had fair ground to complain
of the delay which had already attended his notice. The
treaty involved a trade of 10,000,0001. sterling annual
value, and affected important interests connected with our
North American fisheries. He should be sorry, however,
to give any inconvenience to the government, and there-
fore he would consent to postpone his motion until next

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

FLORENCE, Aran 28.

All the intelligence received here from Venetia
confirms the magnitude and precipitancy of the
Austrian military preparations. It is calculated
that the present strength of the Austrian army
in Venetia will be augmented by 00,000 or 80,000
men, and that by the Ist May, or within a
few days from that date Austria will have assem-
bled a total effective force of 180,000 men in that
province. On the 25th inst. the railway line
will be opened from Padua to Mouselioe
for the exclusive use of the military ser-
vice. The bridges of the new railway from
Padua to the Adige and those on the line
from Verona to Peachier& are guarded by military
detachments. The Austrian government has
offered a premium to the contractor for laying the
railway line from Padua to Rovigo, if he shall
finish it within the month.
Orders reached Istria from 'Trieste on the 23rd
inst., calling out for immediate service all the
sailors of the imperial fleet, a great number of
whom were discharged when the reductions were
made last year. Fortifications and redoubts erected
after 1859 along the coast of Ding* Pirano, and
Veruda, are being demolished, and war vessels are
being concentrated at Pola, where works to place
the fortress in a defensive condition are being
actively proceeded with.

No dealings have taken place to-day in mining
shares, both the Stock Exchange and Mining Ex-
change being shut.
The subjoined satisfactory circular has been for-
warded to the shareholders in the Fruntino and
Bolivia (South American) Gold Mining Company
(Limited) :
Othoes, 192, Gresham House, London, MC., April3D.
Dear Sir,-1 have the pleasure to inform yen
that the directors have received &deices from
the Froatino and Bolivia Mines, which are in every
respect confirmatory of the value of these properties,
and induce the conviction of most satisfactory results
being realised when the new arrangements shall come into
operation. Mr. hunch states " that the returns from
the mines surrounding these properties (which me
worked by natives) are generally equivalent to 50
and 100 per cent. profit, and that he conaiders that
this company's mines are capable of producing at least
these results ; rind this is also the expressed opinion of ail
who know the properties." Mr. Routh further states,
" that the legal transfer of both properties has been com-
pleted and registered in accordance with the laws of the
country." By this time, the board anticipate that the new
agents, with staff, will have arrived at the mines ; sag
they look forward with much interest to the next &deices,
when they lope to send the shareholders complete and de-
tailed reports. —Yours faithfully, W. G. Powsuic, Sacra
Lary.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Dowling, Deputy Assistant Judge.)
Frederick Dodd, 21, was indicted for stealing Is. 4d.,
the moneys of John Wilson, his master.
Mr. Collins prosecuted.
The prosecutor is a baker, living inßath-street,iit. Luke's,
and the prisoner was in his employ, and suspicion being
entertained of his honesty money was marked and put into
the till. Police-constable Charles Clay, 26$ G, was in the
house on the 20th of August watching the prisoner, and
while the prisoner was alone in the shop selecting bread to
take out to the customers he was observed to put his hand
in the till and take out money, which he put into his
pocket. Having left the house the constable followed him
and brought him back, and told him to turn out his pocket.
He put 9s. 6d. on the table, and on being asked if he had
any more he said he hadsome layman in the bakehouse. In
Übe= was found 11.10 s. in silver and copper, and amongst
it a Spence and • fourpenny piece which Mr. Wilson had
marked. The constable asked him for the key of his box,
and in that found 81. in gold and 3/. 17s. 10d. in other
moneys tied up in • handkerchief, which he could not
account for. A key that would unlock the till was found
in the prisoner's possession.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The Deputy Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to
be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE. -(THIS DAY.)

There was only a moderate quantity of home-grown
wheat on sale here to-day. The attendance of miller, was
small ; the transactions, consequently, were on a limited
scale. Factors, however, showed no desire to press busi-
ness, and the value of both red and white parcels, there-
fore, was well supported.
The show of foreign wheat was good. The demand was
only to a moderate extent, and was chiefly confined to fine
parcels ; nevertheless in all sales effected Monday's quota-
tions were obtained.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request .e.ftill
prices.
The trade for barley ruled firm on former terms. The
show of samples was only moderate.
Malt, the supply of which was seasonably good, moved
off slowly at late rates.
. .

With Oats the market was moderately supplied. Most
descriptions changed hands steadily, at the recent im-
provement in the quotations.
Beans were dull, and the inquiry for peas was in a slug-
gish state.
The flour trade was moderately active, on former terms.
Rapeseed was firmer ; but linseed and all agricultural
seeds, with the exception of mustard seed, which com-
manded high rates, were in limited request. Cakes were
dull.

folio, is said to have resigned.

London, England, 1866-09-05

(Before Mr. Payne.)

Henry Leery, 16, servant, was indicted for stealing a pair
of boots of the value of lt., the property of Frederick
Holroyd.
The prisoner, who is what is called an " area sneak," is
one who creeps into areas, and when servants are not in
the way steals anything he can lay his bands on. When
called upon by Mr. Hodgkinson (the clerk of the court) he
said he was not guilty.
Henry Bradley, of 17, Market-street, Marylebone, said
he met the prisoner, who had a pair of boots in his hand,
and he asked him if he would be kind enough to pledge
them for him, and ho consented to do so. They went to
Mr. Reeves's, pawnbroker, in Chapel-street, and the boots
were pledged.
Albert Frock, servant, at 8, Sussex-square, identified
the boots as his master's property. They were taken from
the pantry window.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
The prisoner had been in prison before.
Mr. Payne sentenced him to eight months' imprisonment
with hard labour.
•

Henry Radford, 18, a miserable-looking man, was in-
dicted for stealing a coat of William Woods, a carpenter.
The prosecutor, who lives at 5, Old Church-row, Step-
ney, said he lost the coat from the works at Millwall,
where he had been engaged. He followed the prisoner,
and asked him if he knew anything of his ooat,and he said,
"Oh ! yes ; I have got it on." Prosecutor said, " Well, I
shall give you, my chicken, into custody, so come along
with me." A constable then camo up, and the prisoner
was given into custody.
The jury found him Guilty.
Charles Wilson, a constable in the West India Dock,
said he was present at the Middlesex Sessions in July,
1865, when the prisoner was convicted of felony and sen-
tenced to six weeks' hard labour. He was again present
at the sessions at the following November, when he was
again convicted of felony and sentenced to six months'
hard labour.
Mr. Payne sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' impri-
sonment, with hard labour.

Thomas Gill, 19, baker, was indicted for stealing two
towels and other articles, value 1/. 75., the property of
tiff ui. Gower, from tho person of a little boy named Wallace
Atkins.
Wallace Atkins, a boy, 9 years of age, said he was sent
to Mrs. Gower's, 5, Gray's-inn-passage, Gray's-inn•road, for
a bundle of clothes, and as he was going there the prisoner
stopped him and asked him where he was going to, and he
told him to fetch some clothes. He fetched the clothes,
and the prisoner met him again and snatched them from
him and ran away.
Another little boy, 12 years of age, gave confirmatory
evidence.
Thomas Barnes, police-constable, apprehended the
prisoner in a crowd. He stoutly denied any knowledge of
the robbery.
The jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty.
Mr. Payne said the prisoner was an impudent thief. It
was a bad offence to take advantage of youth. The
sentence upon him was that he be imprisoned and kept to
hard labour for 12 months.

THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1866.

restrained the how of funds into districts where'
they ware most sorely needed. But the heartrend-
ing appeals of those who knew better were not
to be thus overborne. The magnitude of the distress
opened the floodgates of ever ready British benevolence,
and even conquered the vie inertia of Bengali apathy and
indifference. The government has advanced 200,0001. for
the purchase of rice to keepl the people alive, but there
is as yet no supply of labour for carrying the grain inland,
and no staff for administering relief in the most effective
and economical manner. From the latest accounts it
enema probable that the distress has not, even yet,
attained its maximum.

TIM TOON= CARL

Mr. Walpole, as the member of a government whose
party have strenuously resisted any amendment of our
anomalous system, which constitutes the Rome Secretary
our only court of appeal in criminal cases, is specially
bound, the Times contends, to an energetic performance of
his duty, whereas he supplies a conspicuous illustration by
his conduct in the above case of the disadvantages of such
a tribunal. The mere fact of his sending for the judge's
notes indicates that he possesses a power of revision ;
and if, in his judgment, the evidence does not
bear out the verdict, he is bound by the inherent
responsibility of his office to quash the conviction.
Here is a young woman who, having been induced to come
to the house of an unmarried man upon false representa-
tions, consents, nevertheless, to remain, and to live on
terms of intimacy with him. He soon makes his purpose
plain, but she does not attempt to escape. When he has
committed the offence with which she charges him she
condones it, and continues to live with him. She then
discards the precaution of having a servant to sleep with
her, and leaves her bedroom door unlocked ; and it is not
until she has spent a whole night with the man she accuses
that she brings this charge against him. It is not been suffi-
ciently observed that the jury themselves recommended the
prisoner to mercy on the ground that the prosecutrix hat?
been " indiscreet," and it is impossible not to suppose
that the sentence was made designedly severe, with the
view of drawing public attention to the case. There is
nothing to be said in palliation of Toomer's conduct, but
it is ridiculous to call his offence rape, and it would be a
monstrous cruelty if he were left to endure 15 years' penal
servitude. It is this plain injustice which Mr. Walpole is
called on to remedy, and he will neglect his duty if he
omits either to reverse the verdict or to say plainly, which
we think impossible, that he considers it just.

FALL OF A HOUSE AND REMARKABLE ESCAPE
OF SEVERAL PERSONS.

During the early part of this morning and the
whole of last night a storm of wind and rain took place not
only in the metropolisbutalso in the country districts many
miles away, doing much mischief. A luggage train on the
London, Chatham, and Dover line was blown on its aide
near the Bromley station, but fortunately. neither the en-
gine-driver, the stoker, nor the guard were injured, but the
traffic was obliged to be suspended for an hour.
The flower gardens in the districts of Kent
and Surrey suffered severely. At Egham, Esher,
and the adjoining villages the • road:
were so deep with water that even cabs could not pas'
along without the water entering the doorways. A singular
accident took place in the premises of Mr. Thomas King, an
engineer, No. 9, Essex-street, Southwark. A sudden blast of
wind springing up, the inmates felt the building crack
and totter. One of them cried out, " The house is going
to fall • for God's sake run into the street." The command
was fortunately obeyed, and the whole building fell, de-
molishing furniture and everything else in the place. No
lives, we are glad to say, were lost.
