A NAVY JON.

In the hope of putting an end to a practice which causes
• public scandal, the Tissu calls attention to the case of
the promotion of a son of Lord Hardwicke, brought be-
fore the House of Commons last night. The charge
was fully substantiated; the defence was of the
weakest, and it only remains for the nation to decide
whether such things shall any longer be. Lieutenant
Yorke, the peer's son in question, is being promoted to the
rank of commander over the head of 370 of his seniors ;
over 128 first lieutenants of ships in commission, over 60
gunnery lieutenants, over 40 lieutenants in command of
vessels, over two lieutenants who had received the Beau-
fort testimonial for their special qualifications in passing
at the Naval School, over the senior lieutenants of the ten
different stations, and, lastly, over a large number of
officers who had been specially mentioned by their admirals
and captains. Now, it cannot be denied, and has not been
denied, that this promotion is solely due to the fact that
Lieutenant Yorke is the son of Lord Hardwicke, a great
conservative nobleman, and a former colleague of the pre-
sent ministers. Sir J. Pakington's argument was simply a
is quogre to the last Board of Admiralty. He showed
that Lieutenant Graham, son of Sir James Graham,
Lieutenant Wood, son of Lord Halifax, and Lieu-
tenant Fitsclarence, • son of Lord Munster, had been
similarly promoted without any special claim, and seemed
to consider that these instances entirely exculpated himself.
Sir John Hay positively laid down the principle that
political or professional distinction on the part of a
father is a ground for the undue advancement of a eon,
to the injury of all his comrades in the service. It is
scarcely possible to listen patiently to such doctrine*.
No wonder they startled Mr. Gladstone into a hasty pro.
test Every man who values the efficiency and reputation
of the naval service is bound to protest also. It is a
disgrace that men in high office on either side of the
house should Lave been concerned in making these
appointments ; it is a disgrace that the sons of men of
fortune should accept them to the detriment of their
poorer and less favoured comrades ; it is a disgrace that

LATEST INTELLIGENCI.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.'

The latest Vienna journals in general deny that
there is any truth in the reports of the movements
of Russian troops. The Vaterland alone speaks
of the movement of Russian troops and their con-
centration in Volhynia and Podolia. Large pur-
chases of hay, straw, and grain have been made,
and the soldiers, it adds, are armed with breech-
loaders, and have adopted the Prussian tactics.

THE GERMAN TREATIES.

The Debata of to-day says :

The publication of the treaties concluded by Prussia
with Bavaria and Baden does not seem to have caused any
emotion in Austria. This is not surprising. Even those
who were ignorant of the existence of this treaty might
have suspected it. No one at Vienna any more than at
Paris could be deluded into imagining that the Southern
Confederation would remain without allies in Germeny,
or that it would not prefer an alliance with • vic-
torious and all powerful Prussia to an Austria
beaten and humiliated, and reduced, no doubt, to
weakness for a long time to come. The Presrt
of Vienna informs us that the Austrian government had
been long ago aware of the treaties published yesterday,
and saw nothing in them contrary to the stipulations of
the treaty of Prague. The Nue Presac goes further,
and pronounces in favour of an Austro-Prussian
alliance. Perhaps we may learn to-morrow, from Vienna,
that the Austrian statesmen see in these treaties a new
triumph of Austrian policy, and may speak of them with
pride. Certainly it is not we who should blame them.
The truly wise put on the semblance of happiness when
they cannot prevent what is disagreeable.

COUNT BISMARCK UPON THE FUTURE
OF THE POLES.

Count Bismarck, in repudiating in the parlia-
ment of Northern Germany the pretensions of the
Polish deputies, expressed himself as follows :
The re-establishment of the Polish republic OD the limits

of 1772 is only a fantastical dream of the nobility of that
country. The thing is impossible, for there are not
Poles enough in the world to accomplish it. Amongst
the 24 millions of inhabitants of that territory,
there are only 7i of Poles, and of that num-
ber one million is dispersed in various countries
They therefore demand that GA millions of their country:
men should rule over 18 millions of inhabitants, non.
Polish. But the state of affairs in Ciallicia shows the sort
of feeling entertained by the latter towards the Polish
domination. Nor is it even certain that the six-and-a-
half millions desire the supremacy in question. I have no
desire to extol the rule of Russia—(laughter)—but the
people of the country districts in Poland have still more
confidence in the Russians than in their own nobility.
Renounce, therefore, gentlemen deputies of Poland,
the idea of keeping Europe in commotion, for you are
deceiving yourselves as to your own strength. Unite with
us, and with the majority of your fellow-countrymen, the
peasants, to enjoy the benefits of civilisation, to which the
confederation of the North is about to give fresh securities.
But to the Reichstag, I hold up the example of the Poles
as a warning ; showing the condition to which a powerful
empire may be reduced when directed by a warlike nobility,
preferring liberty to security. The whole energy of that
nobility is at this day insufficient to re-establish that
empire. As the poet says, " What thou haat at one
moment refused, eternity *al not bring thee back."

(REUTIERN TELEGRAMA.)
PRUSSIA AND SOUTH GERMANY.
BERLIN, Aluicti 22.

In addition to the agreement on the military
question, a complete understanding is stated to
exist between Prusais, and the South German
states, Wurtemburg excepted, in reference to the
future position of those states towards the Northern
Confederation. This understanding will be carried
out immediately after the adoption of the Federal
constitution.

The Buraenzeitung of to-day publishes an article
advocating an intervention against Wurtemburg.
It is expected that a plebiscitum will take place
in Luxemburg on the question of the entry of that
province into the Northern Confederation. Prussia
is not opposed to this course.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.
MARX-LANE.—{THIS DAY.)
Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
English wheat. The samples, however, were in fair
average condition. For meet kinds the demand was by no
means active ' • nevertheless, Monday's currency was
steadily supported,
The show of foreign wheat was not extensive. Good
and fine parcels were taken off steadily at full currencies ;
but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry at former rates.
Floating cargoes of wheat were rather dearer than last
week. Odessa Ghirka, arrived, sold at Sec, and for
spring shipment, !leis. to 575. per quarter.
Although the show of both English and foreign barley
was only moderate, sales progressed slowly, at the late
decline in value.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state, yet prices were
supported. The supply of malt was good.
There was less doing in oats, yet holders generally were
very firm.
Beans commanded extreme rates, and peas sold on former
terms. The supplies were very moderate.
No change took place in the value of either English or
foreign flour. The sales were somewhat restricted.
The traesactiomi in seeds were very moderate, at late
rates. There was a steady sale for cakes ; but no quotable
change took place in prices.

PARIS, THURSDAY EVWXG.

The rumour at the Bourse, to which the consi-
derable fall of the day was attributed, was that M.
Benedetti had received instructions to press the
Prussian government to " consult the populations"
of Luxembourg. I have since heard that General
Fleury has started for Berlin on a special mission.
It is hard to believe that the Emperor can have
courted further humiliation by any attempt to in-
terfere diplomatically with the course of events
in Germany. If he desires to plunge his
country into a groat war to restore his damaged
prestige he has no doubt the power to do so,
although I do not think he would be able
to carry it on long. There is a growing un-
easiness lest a war should break out almost imme-
diately to disturb the harmony of the opening of
the Exhibition. " Who knows," said the Liberte
last night, "that M. Granier de Caasagnac, who
boasts that he for one has not abandoned the policy
of conquest," may not be the enfant terrible of the
empire, and have blurted out a secret which M.
Rouher does not know I Let the Emperor, if he
can screw his courage to the sticking place, give
the word, " Let go," and confirm by a decisive act
Marshal Canrobert's fanfaronadez, of which the
salons are now talking. But M. de Bismarck will
receive with supreme contempt any diplomatic
representations which may be made to him by
General Fleury or anybody else not intended to
be followed up by arms.
Further particulars of the imperfectly reported
row in the Corps Legialatif on Monday continue to
ooze out. I sin told that M. Rouher, in command-
ing tones, three times desired Count Walewski to
call M. fliers to order, and threatened to descend
from the tribune and leave the house if it were
not done. Count Walewski, who is really deaf,
thought it desirable to be deafer than usual on this
occasion, and would not do what he was told.
The situation is decidedly tres teneine ; the publi-
cation of the treaties of August 22, coupled with
the reorganisation of the army, here excites great
alarm. People talk politics in the streets and in
cafes with an animation and a contempt of spies
not witnessed for years. There is a talk this
evening of a secret sitting of the Senate to take
some important resolution.

The Liberec, in quoting the paragraph from the
Cuoistitrdionitel on the illness of the Prince Impe-
rial, rejoices to think that the bulletin is re-assur-
ing, and says :—" There are souvenirs which no

doubt tend to unsettle the Church both at home
and in the colonies if it were understood that the
colonial episcopate was one of the avenues to
high ecclesiastical office at home. But the cir-
cumstances of this nomination are peculiar, and
it will probably be long before we see another
English Bishop taken from the Colonial'.

The Mocimento says

The ministerial journals continue to speak 'of an insur-
rection on the rith of December, the day on which pule-
meet is to meet. These are unworthy uian,uvree of
Signor Gemitsrio. The country has its eyes on parliament
but it has no intention of intimidating it.

braced Lieut.-Colonel Camozzi, who returned to

being signed in the office of the Diritio:

feted with no much heroism, sharesyour grief,and mothers,
who alone can understand your feelings, contemplate
you, like a Roman matron, great and firm in the midst of
the terrible trials which the woes of Italy have accumu-
lated in your generous breast. We all shed tears for
your noble sacrifices. We honour in you many Italian
matrons who, with broken hearts and in view of the new
holocaust offered up for the country, do not perhaps hope
to see the result of their patriotic sacrifices- In your
lofty forehead and in your calm countenance we read the
history of Italy's woes. Read, signora, in our tears not
the consolation which souls like yours always find in
themselves, but the united determination to complete
the redemption of our common country—a consolation
worthy of you.

CONSERVATIVE DEMONSTRATION AT
MA LDON.

The Maldon Conservative Club held its anniver-
sary meeting last evening, Mr. H. J. SELWIN-IBBrrsoN,
M.P., presiding. There were also present Mr. G. M. W.
Sandford, M.P. for the borough, and Lord Eustace
Cecil, M.P.; Mr. Earle, M.P., the other sitting
member for Malden, was not present. The borough
will in future parliaments return only one member.
Mr. Sandford, in addressing the meeting, said his prin-
ciples were the same in 1867 as in 1854, when
he was first returned for the borough. He had always con-
sidered that one of the great defects of the old Reform
Bat was the monotony of suffrage which it introduced ;
and he feared that we had now substituted one monotony
of suffrage for another. What he should have desired
would have been some system of representation by which
the interests of a greater variety of classes would have
been secured. It would be no use to make a conces-
sion of a popular suffrage if it was not followed up
by popular measures, and he was prepared for his own
part to support a popular and progressive policy. The
chairman said he had always been one of those who thought
that, from the increase of population and the extension of
education, the time had coma for a measure of reform ; and
he had therefore approved the policy pursued by the
government. Whether for good or evil, the reform bill of
last session was an accomplished fact, and he would ask all
parties not to peas judgment upon it too hastily, but to rely
on the good feeling, the common sense, and the love of order
and good government which characterised Englishmen.
The education question would now demand attention. He
believed we were far behind other countries in the amount
of education offered to the people. At the same time, we
must avoid the risk of over-educating people into dissatis-
faction with their lot in life. Lord E. Cecil, who was
suffering from indisposition, responded to the toast of
the "Conservative members present." After touch-
ing upon reform, the state of Ireland, I,:c. the noble
lord said the new constitutional party, whether com-
posed of conservatives or moderate liberals, would have
to open its arms wide, and throw aside all narrow pre-
judices. So only would it be able to resist violent and
revolutionary changes, and reconcile the old state of things
with the new.

THZ LONDON CALMIL'i.

Admitting that the cabmen are somewhat hardly
need, and that generally speaking they are an obliging and
intelligent body of men, the Times nevertheless thinks
they have challenged the public on a point upon which
the public are clearly in the right. The opposition to the
lamps if raised at all should have been urged when the
Traffic Act was before a select committee last session. If
the strike continues, able-bodied men who are out of
work at the east end should be engaged to attend
the railway stations as porters. The cabmen are mistaken
if they think they can force the public into submission.
Meanwhile the Tibies would gladly see the ta' on the
cabs reduced, and if this request be urged in a reasonable
manner it will receive due attention.

The Peat tells the men that they gave way to an exhi-
bition of temper quite uncalled for when they agreed at
Exeter-hall last night to continue the evening strike till
the first week is January. It would have been far better
to await the result of to-day's deputation.
To the Telegraph the issue between the cabmen and the
public appears to be eminently susceptible of fair com-
promise. Were the prices of street locomotion regulated,
like those of any other article of consumption, by the
public demand, a strike of cabmen would be as anomalous
as a strike of greengrocers or haberdashers. If the law
did not step in to make the passenger pay more or the
cabman take lees than he thought it worth his while to
do, there would be an end of all possibility of dispute
between the public and the hackney coach proprietors as
a body. This is what we must come to in the end.
Let the cabmen be assured that their grievances will be
submitted to inquiry, and that, meanwhile, the lamp
regulation will be allowed to remain a dead letter, and
they will be only too willing to resume the work on which
depend alike our own comfort and their livelihood.

The Standard hopes that the generous interruption of
Lord Elcho will prevent any further clashing between
the cab interest and the authorities. The government have
given the beat assurance of their ayir.pathy with the
humblest of the working chimes, by the readiness with
which they delivered the unfortunate coatermonger from
his dilemma. It is not likely that the Ministry and Lord
Derby will be less favourable to the cab interest.

TIM FENIAN DEMONSTRA77ONS.

Remarking that the emblems prohibited by the Party Pro-
cessions Act were probably considered those which would
excite animosity in the district fix which they were
exhibited, the Daily News hesitates to acquiesce in the
charge of partial and unjust administration of the law
which the Orange journals have unceasingly thrown out
against liberal administrations in Ireland, and which it
is the tendency of Lord Dufferin's remarks to sanction. It
is unfortun►te that any remark of Lord Dufferin's should
have challenged ♦ disclaimer on the part of Earl Derby
against straining the law and attempting to bring
within its limits offences which do not fairly come
within its scope. If Allen and his associates were political
offenders the funeral procession at Cork was no doubt a
political demonstration. But the political character
of their crime is denied, and on good grounds. We
have no sympathy with the ebullitions of feeling which
their fate has provoked ; but something must be allowed to
human nature. No one in his senses imputes vindictive
political feeling to the government. If the event should
prove that they have erred, the error was unavoidable ;
and it will need to be noted not for the purpose of blaming
the past, but for the sake of guidance in the future. In
the meantime nothing can be more foolish than to under-
rate the importance of such indications of Irish feeling as
are presented at Cork and elsewhere. The deep-seated
delusions which have actuated the gatherings may have
been perversely absurd, but a strong feeling does not cease
to be dangerous because it is unreasonable. Sentiment
must be counteracted by sentiment ; and if we cannot get
access to the heart of the people through the understand-
ing, some other path to it must be devised. From the
suppression of the lawful expression of mistaken feeling
nothing is to be hoped.
The Times considers it a proper question whether we
do not abuse our own strength iu suffering such language
as that of several Irish journals of late to pass unchecked,
but the conduct of the processioniate of Cork must be con-
sidered in itself, and the demonstration does not appear
to have been an infringement of the Party Processions
Act. Had the law officers come to a different conclusion,
our contemporary cannot doubt that the government
would have applied to the south of Ireland the same
meaaure of justice it has meted out in the north, and
would have prosecuted infractions of the statute wherever
they had been perpetrated.

The Herald counsels the suppression of such journals
as the Nation and Irishman, which exist only for the pur-
pose of advocating a cause absolutely destructive of all
liberty. It is but a foolish sort of confidence which affects
to despise these papers and to undervalue the amount of
mischief which they do.

VICTORIA HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDREN.

The first annual meeting of the subscribers and
friends of this charity, established at Gough-house,
teen's-road, Chelsea, was held yesterday afternoon at
Hanover-agnate Rooms; Sir WILLIAIII FERCI:WiON,
Serjunt-Surgeon to the Queen, occupying the chair.
Before the report was read, Sir William delivered an
address upon the origin of the institution. At
the close of the bon. baronet's introduction, which
wis listened to with evident interest by a nume-
rous audience, the majority of whom were ladies, Dr. E.
Ellis, the honorary secretary, read the first annual report of
the committee of management, which states that the
out-patients department of the hospital was opened on the
sth of November in last year, and since then, until the
sth of November In this year, 5,147 attendances of out-
patients have been recorded, on each of which occasions
advice and medicines have been supplied. These out-
patients, afflicted with every variety of disease to which
children are subject, came to the hospital not only from
Chelsea, which has, of course, contributed a largo share,
but also from Battersea, Brampton, Belgravia, Fulham,
Walham-green, Westminster, Pimlico, Knightsbridge,
Kensington, Hyde-park, Bayswater, St. John's-wood, Lam-
beth, Brixton, 'Putney, Stockwell, New-eress, and Wande-
worth. Up to April in the present year the funds of the
charity forbade the introduction of in-patients, but at
length six beds were provided, the neasesary furniture
procured, a nurse engaged, and on April 25th the first in-
patient was received at Gough-house. Not many weeks
went by before the number of beds was
doubled, and by the middle of June twenty-four
beds bad been provided. Altogether, up to the sth of
November, thirty-nine in-patients bad been admitted,
comprising some of the severest forms of medical and sur-
gical diseases ; and so far the bill of mortality is clean—
there had not been one death. The in-patients have been
sent not only from London and the suburbs, but from
different parts of the country, such as Bedfordshire, Sus-
sex, Hampshire, he. Of our thirty-nine in-patients,
twenty-eight have been discharged cured or greatly re-
lieved, and eleven remained in the hospital on Nov. 5.
The income of the charity bad amounted to 1,5601., and
the expenditure left 5784 in hand. On the motion of the
Rev. A. G. W. Blunt, seconded by the Bishop of labium,
the report was unanimously passed, and after lIIMIONSI other
gentlemen bad made earnest appeals on behalf of the in-
stitution the proceedings were brought to a dose with a
cordial vote of thanks to Ski obsincas.

PRUSSIA AND HESSE-DARMSTADT.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the despatch which
Herr von Beust addressed on the 25th November
to the representative of Prussia in Darmstadt, on
learning that the Grand Ducal government had ac-
cepted the invitation of France to the conference
on the Roman question. The Prussian minister
after twitting the Grand Ducal government
for its haste in accepting the invitation with-
out reserve, proceeds to ask whether it thinks
such a proceeding exempt from the danger of being
led into courses which might separate its policy
from that of its German Confederates 1 "We
cannot but think," Count Bismarck proceeds
to say, " that if the Grand Ducal govern-
ment assumes position in regard to diffi-
cult European questions which, even quite
recently were on tho point of grave com-
plications, without having first sought to come
to an understanding with its German Confederates
and the Confederation of the North, to which his
royal highness has acceded, he will not find him-
self in accord with the spirit of the federal pact.
We do not enter upon the question whether this
proceeding and its consequences can be made to
harmonize with the text of tho federal con-
stitution."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(FROM ova ORII CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, TUESDAY Byname.

The first day's " interpellaiions" in the Corps
Legialatif on the tough Roman question was en-
tirely occupied by M. Jules Fevre, who, however,
did not speak at extreme length. The French
deputies always take their work easy. Business
begins considerably after the time fixed, and the
occasions are rare indeed when that " tocsin of the
soul, the dinner bell" fails to be responded to im-
mediately, no matter how great the eloquence or
how important the discussion that it may cut short.
The "representatives of the people" have drawn
their large salaries from Nov. 18 to Dec. 2 without
doing anything in public beyond a little talk last
week on the high prices of provisions, and the con-
sequent suspension of certain duties on grain.
They postponed for a fortnight all discussion on
the urgent question of Rome, the special legisla-
tive measures which were the occasion of the
extraordinary session in " November" being
altogether thrown over in the meantime ;
and when at last they came to the
scratch, their patience only extended to hear a
single speaker, who began at 3 in the afternoon
and sat down at half-past 5. At that hour the
house broke up. It was not quite dinner time,
but the chances were that the next speaker would
hold out beyond it, and therefore the debate was
adjourned nem. eon.

To-day the debate was resumed by M. Cheane-
long, an ultramontanist, whose sole point of
agreement with M. Jules Fevre is that the
government ought to make some " unequivocal "
declaration of its policy to remove the present
uncertainty.

At the Bourse the winding-up of the late settle-
ment continued without any marked change in tho
character of the market. Rente rose Tic. for cash
and fell 74c. for account, closing at 69fr. 374 c., and
69fr. 174 c.

THE CABMEA'S STRIKE.

DEPUTATION TO THE HOME SECRETARY.
(THIS DAY.)

A deputation from the cab-owners and cabmen,
originating in the great meeting hold last night at Exeter
Hall, waited upon Mr. Hardy, at the Home-oftlce, at one
o'clock, to lay their came before the right bon. gentleman,
in the hope of securing the redress of their alleged
grievances.
The deputation was introduced by Lord Echo, M.P.,
who was accompanied by Sir G. Bowyer, M.P., and Mr.
Alderman Salomon, M.P. The cab proprietors present
were:—Mears. T. H. Godtachalk, Cockrane, Wel!beloved,
Case, Balding, and Crocker (Secretary.) The cabmen were
represented by Messrs. (:.Smith, B. Pearce, and F. Selina.
Mr. Gower, chairman at last night's meeting at Exeter
Hall. and Mr. Fry, solicitor, were also present.
The press was not admitted to the interview, but the
result was afterwards stated to ono of its representatives
by Lord Bich° in the following terms :—" The
Secretary of State will propose to Lord Derby
to introduce • clause into the bill now before the
House of Lords to empower him to exercise his discretion
as to what portion of the act ho may think it desirable or
not desirable to enforce as regards the regulation of cab
traffic. On the faith of that undertaking the Hansom cab
proprietors consented at once that their vehicles shall run
as before with lamps. It is understood that the cab
traffic in the metropolis will now be continued as usuaL"

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before the Aeaiatant Judge.)

John King, 27, was indicted for stealing • gold watch
and chain, value 251., the property of Gottlieb Weil, from
his person.
The prosecutor, a German, and a member of the medical
profession, at a quarter to 2 o'clock in the afternoon of
Monday, the 11th of November, was walking in Holborn,
towards the City, and his coat was open at the time.
When he was near the corner of Newton-street the
prisoner rushed up to him, seized his watch guard,
snatched his gold watch and chain from him, and ran down
Newton-street with it. He was followed by the prosecutor,
who called out " Stop Thief," but as prisoner turned the
corner of a court he was lost sight of. He then gave infor-
mation to the police.
The prisoner, in his defence, said that when he was at
the station-house the prosecutor picked out two other
persons from a number who were then brought out for
identification, and afterwards fixed upon him, therefore
his evidenoe could not be relied upon.
The jury found the prisoner Ouitte.
Herbert Reeves, warder at the House of Correction,
Coldbath-fields, proved that the prisoner was convicted at
the Central Criminal Court for housebreaking, and
sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment.
The officer Dowdell said the prisoner was the companion
of the worn of thieves, and two of them were tried at the
Lit sessions of this court (Connelly and Myers), and each
sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for seven years.
The AswistantsTu4e said it was really monstrous that
persons could not walk in safety in the open day in the
streets of London, and the public must be protected
against such ruffians ; and it appeared that he was wanted
for another robbery in the event of his being acquitted on
this charge. The @entice* upon him was that he be kept
in penal servitude for seven ma.
