THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

An intelligent-lookingii7l,—Weanine years, named
Jane Adams, was charged before the Lord Mayor with
stealing a valuable gold watch and chain from the
person of Pierre Joseph Denis, • foreigner; and John
lianneford and John Corny, two shoeblacks, were charged
with being concerned in the theft.
Cheater, a detective officer, stated that on the oom-
plainant giving information of its loss at Bow-lane station
on Wednesday he went io Upper Thames-street, and
Adams was pointed out to him by another girl as the per-
son who stole the watch. She denied having done so, but
afterwards stated that she had seen the watch, and that it
was • yellow one. The other girl also stated that Adams
dropped the watch, and that the two boys then picked it
up and ran away. Early on Saturday morning the officer
apprehended Hanneford and Corny in the Borough, and it
appeared that they bad sold the watch and bought some
ethes with the proceeds. In explanation they stated
that the prosecutor had been larking with them with his
watch, and that Adams snatched it from him.

The, cue was remanded.
An extensive collection of stolen property, found at the
house of Joseph Horley, 116, Columbia-square, Bethnal-
green has been removed to Bishopagate police-station for
identification.

THE DISTURBANCES AT BIRMINGHAM.

BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY.
In the streets inhabited chiefly by the Irish crowds re-
assembled to-night, but no real disturbance occurred. As
• late hour last night a disturbance took place near St.
Mary's Church. Several persons were seriously injured
there, and in other localities. So wide is the district over
which these rioters spread themselves, that it Ia difficult
to ascertain their movements.

RUTLANDSHIRE ELICTION.—Tho election of a
knight of the shire for Rutlandshire, to supply the va-
cancy occasioned in the representation of the county by
the elevation of the Hon. O. IL Heathcote to the peerage,
in consequence of the death of his father. Lord Avehuid,
took place at Oakhtun, on Saturday, in the venerable
Castle, a building which, according to hod tradition, is
some 800 years old. The high sherd (Mr. 1".. N. Conant)
presided as returning officer. Mr. Fludger proposed
the only candidate, Mr. G. H. Finch, of liurley-00-the-
hill,• Mr. Wingfield seconded the nomination; and no other
ouididate being proposed, the Hi.lt Sheritt declared Mr.
Finch duly elected. The hon. gentleman was unable to be
present to express his acknowledgment*, being confined to
his bed by a severe accident which he sustained on Wed-
nesday when out with Sir John Trollopes hounds. Bo
severe was this accident, Mr. Finch baring been thrown
upon his head, that it was date tful at tint whether he
WAS not killed. After about half an hour, however, be
rallied sufficiently to be removed home ; and as it is now
hoped that he has sustained no organic injury, it is antici-
pated that a few days' repose will enable him to tilts Ida
seat in the house. In the absence of his son, Mr. G.
Finch, sen., addressed the electors. The hoe. gentletnin
said he thanked the county utost sincerely and gratefully
for electing his son as one of its representatives. His son
*mild, he believed, attend to his duties in parliament in
every possible way, so as to promote the interests of the
county and of the country at large. He had declared his
intention to support the government of Lord Dethy, and
in doing so he would best consult the interest, of the Bri-
tish empire. A vote of thanks to the high sheriff closed
the pproceedings.
ConruLsoktY EDUCATION. —The question, "Ought

debated before a numerous, intelligent, and highly respect-
able auditory on Saturday evening last, in the Lecture-hall
of the Shaftesbury Working•men's Club, Princel.road,
Notting-hill ; Mr. P. A. Taylor, M.P., presided. The afar.
mauve argument was taken up by Moses. Wynne, Par-
81t, M. H. Fielde, Heywood, and the chairman ; the nega-
tive side was supported by Messrs. T. Paterron, J. T.
Dexter, and Winton. Great interest was manifested during
the discussion, and the further consideration of the clues-
' Eon was, on the motion of Mr. Dexter, adjourned by
unanimous vote until Saturday next. A cordial resolution
of thanks to the chairman was passed

FENIAN DEMONSTRATION AT ALAACHESTRE.

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the Irish
Roman catholic* of Manchester organised a funeral proces-
sion. They at first numbered about 300 persons, the
majority being women and girls, accompanied by a fife and
drum band. The procession was formed near St. Wilfrid's
Roman catholic chapel, in Bedford-street, Hulme, and be-
fore it started on its march the Rev. Canon Toole endea-
voured to dissuade the leaders of the movement from
making any demonstration, but his advice was not regarded.
From Bedford-street the procession passed into Great
Jackson-street, and through Clarendon-street into Ox-
ford-street. Turning up Charles-street, the prooessioa
went a little distance along Brook-street, and passed
through Granby-row into London-road, where the numbers
were greatly augmented by the Salford catholice, who,
having foreknowledge of the intended procession,
went to Piccadilly to await its arrival. The in-
creased procession went up Store-street into Great
Anccets-street. The dense population of that neigh-
bourhood turned out very numerously, being at-
tracted by the unusual sounds of the fifes and the sinned
drums, which played the "Dead March" from Saul.
During the march of the procession along Great Ancosts-
street, Oldham-road, Goulden-street, Rochdale-road,
Swan-street, and Oldham-street, the procession itself
numbered perhaps 1,000 persons, but there were
probably twice or thrice as many spectators, a large ,
proportion of whom followed the procession to apse- I
rite the Royal Infirmary, where three cheers were
given for some object which was not made imam
to the general public. As the procession pared round the
corner facing the Queen's Hotel more cheering took
place ; after which the procession passed along Portland-
street, and passed through Gaythorn to City-road. It
stopped in Eliza-street (which is near the point from
which it started), and as they passed the house is which
Larkin's family lived the men uncovered their heads, and
a solemn silence was preserved. After this the procession-
ista and spectators gradually and quietly dispersed.

THE WINTER EXHIBITIONS.-THE SOCIETY OF
FAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS.

The members of the old society gave the private
view of their sketches and studies on Saturday, and the
exhibition is now open to the public. It will be generally
considered a very interesting display, although not,
remarkable for any very striking work of the leading •
members of the society, some of whom are but very ,
poorly represented. The variety in choice of subject
observable in moat of the sketches and studies is especially
a pleasing feature, end moskgratifying to this* concerned .
for the fame of our school of water colours, as it shows
vitality and genuine devotion to at t. Here and there we
meet with the productions of an ill-regulated sentimen-
tality. and that exaggerated form of expression which in- .
evitably accompanies this artistic weakness, ss for example
in the decorative figures suggested by Mr. E. B. Jones ;
but, ou the whole, the present exhibition is free from any
of those extreme absurdities of a mediaeval fancy which we
have had to notice on some recent occasions. We could
wish that the pencil of some of the members were a little
less prolific and more thoughtful, or, at lest, that some- i
thing less than twenty works of indifferent merit by the
same hand were the limit set by those who have the direc-
tion of the exhibition; and at the same time it is with re-
gret we observe that the most distinguished masters of
the school are comparatively unrepresented.
The corresponding exhibition of the Institute is an-
nounced to open on Monday next.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(PROM OUR OWN CORREEPONDEMT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

The principal Paris manufacturers who are at
war with M. Haussmann on the great subject of the
octroi duties have resolved, at a meeting held at
the office of MM. Besancon Brothers, that if the
Court of First Instance, before which their case
now stands for judgment, decides against them,
they will close their factories. It continues to be
rumoured that the Emperor leans towards the
manufacturers, whose cause has been ably advocated
by M. Michel Chevalier in the Debuts, and that
the conflict may possibly tend to M. Hsussmann's
dismissal. He gives out that he has nailed his
colours to the mast.

In reference to the report in your Saturday's
issue of Mr. D. Griffith's speech, wherein he states
that the secretary of an English bishop arrested in
Paris was " taken to the nearest police office, which
chanced to be that having the curious name of Le
Violon," I beg to say, for general information,
that " violon "is a slang term for a lock-up house
and not one specially appertaining to the particular
locality in which the injured English gentleman
was incarcerated.

The government have agreed to pardon John
Fra•eis Nugent, one of the prisoners who was acquitted at
Manchester, but rrarrestad and taken to Ireland on •
charge of Fenianiam. The condition of his liberation is
that he is to leave the United Kingdom.

A FARMER MURDERED.—RIOTS AT BELFAST.
DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHT.
Late on Saturday night, as Inspector Burke and
a constable were standing at the door of Sackville-
lane station, a man, accompanied by another,
fired at them they gave chase, but lost sight of
the men in a crowd in an adjoining street.
On Saturday night mobs attacked bakers' shops
in Belfast, and the police had to charge and dis-
perse them.
A respectable protestant farmer, named Waters,
was murdered on Friday night near Ballymahon,
county Longford. The body was discovered next
morning on the public road about a mile from hia
house, with two wounds—one in the back, the
other in the chest, from a knife or dagger. Some
attribute it to Fenianism, as deceased was heard
on that evening to express strong opinions on the
conviction of the Manchester Fenians.

TO THE ED/TOR OP THP I/P=BB.

Sin,—Down Theobald'e-road, Bloomsbury, last
evening, about 9.30, I saw a crowd appberoracinhging, composed
principally ess than
gs.siTtleyy woefreys:finmassa sad
nse numbering
nor wass" there any
disorder, but they were walking hurriedly, and dispersed
themselves across the street, and on both causeways. Not
aright% to come in contact with them, to avoid the crash I
stop at the door of a large public-house, • hich was
brilliantly illuminated. I heard a band of music in the
distance. No sooner had the crowd reached the door
than suddenly half-a-dozen men rushed upon me, dragged
me to the pavement, seized my hat, umbrella, and scarf,
and ripped up my overcoat. I struggled, and by sheer
desperation gained the door again, calling out, " I'm being
robbed." The persons inside, fearing it was a " row,"
closed it. I was once more forced to the pavement and '
an attempt made to drag me to the ground. Happily I
successfully resisted. One powerful man then struck
me with • bludgeon, which would have felled
me had I not been as in • vice. My watch
and guard were seized, waistcoat pockets cut off ,
and contents taken, tie, in which was • valuable pin, I
torn away, and, worse than all, my purse, containing a
considerable sum in gold and silver, abstracted from my
trousers' pocket. The crowd surrounded those who were '
plundering me, aiding and abettng, some bolding me by
the arms, and thers by the collar. Help fioin any quarter ,
was therefore impossible. Having Stripped sae of every- ,
thing that was worth taking, they let go their hold, sad,
more dead than alive, I succeeded in getting into the
public-house by another door, the whole mass of people
remaining outside. Identification was, however, out of
the question. All this occurred in less than five minutes.
Not a policeman was to be seen, sad it is quite certain if
any effort to protect me had been made the consequences
would have been terrible„robbery and violence evidently
being determined upon.
Such, Sir, is the condition of things in the streets of
London. Comment is unnecessary.—l am, ha,

THE FENIAN CONVICTS.

Tho Times supports the decision of the judges in
the ease of the appeal by the prisoners' eounsel, and re-
minds Mr. Maguire and others who took part in the de-
bate of last night that, if those who defy the law
may plead for • merciful interpretation of it, those
who defend the law at the peril of their lives have
surely • right to be heard. Were Mr. Seymour's view
upheld, the risk of the policeman in executing his duty
would actually exceed the risk of his lawleu ssesilants.
A single flaw in his warrant might actually place him in a
worse position than en ordinary subject of her Majesty, and
make it possible for his murderer to escape with a simple
fine, while he might actually be liable to the penalties of
murder for using his own revolver too recklessly. To
expect that policemen would continue to do their duty
against such odds is to expect of them • devotion more
than human, and had our courts affirmed the rule for
which Mr. Seymour contended, it would have been neces-
sary for parliament to repeal it by express enactment.
With regard to the Clerkenwell meeting, the Times de-
duces, from the paucity of numbers who attended, the
inference that the London working men do not support
the movement. Indeed, if, as seems probable, the Fenian
declare open war against the domestic peace of English-
men, the determination of some classes of Englishmen to
put it down may be stronger and fiercer than has yet been
thought of.

The Daily News observes that the lateness of the period
at which the announcement of the respite of the convict
Shore is made, appears to indicate that it is a final resolu-
tion, and that no further remission of the sentence of the
law may be expected. Shore is a born American.
The Post assumes that the apparent decision of the
government to proceed with the extreme rigour of the law
meets with the general approbation of those able to judge.
The Standard wishes to acknowledge the loyalty and
generosity of Mr. Gladstone in supporting the government.
His interposition was effective and opportune, and some of
his colleagues may profitably take example by it.
The Star enlarges on the consideration that the news
will fly over Europe that an appeal solemnly sealed by
four counsel was contemptuously refused even • hearing.
It can now only hope against hope that the prerogative of
mercy will be exercised in a case which will otherwise be
one of the most lamentable episodes in our annals.
The Telegraph says, if in the case of Shore's companions
it could have been shown that some of them were not
armed with deadly weapons and did not act with premedi-
tation—every humane man would have rejoiced in the
mitigation of their punishment. But the safety of society
would be at an end, and the bulwarks of English justice
would be thrown down, if, in coming to their final decision,
the Ministers of the Crown were iniittenced in any degree
by clamour and intimidation.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(Before Baron Chaim.ll.)
(Concluded from yesterday's Azpress.)
Schesmi Fronds • gentlemanly-looking man,
described as • solicitor, was indicted for feloniously forging
a power of attoreey for the transfer of 1001. Consols Stock,
with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the
Bank of England.
Mr. Metcalfe made an able speech in his behalf, and sub-
mitted that the signature of Mr. Matthew Bartlett was
actually in the handwriting of his brother, Mr. John
Bartlett, who had written it on the representation of the
prisoner that Mr. Matthew Bartlett was a consenting
party, but that subsequently, for fear of any consequences
arising with regard to himself, he had been driven to
throw the blame upon the prisoner.
The jury, after • short consultation, found the prisoner
Gudly of uttering.
The learned Judge expressed his entire concurrence in
the verdict, and said the question now was what punish-
ment the court was called upon to indict. He was un.
:yri'itj( to forget such extenuating circumstances as oc-
in favour of the prisoner, because he had been deal-
ing, not with the property of • stranger, but with property
in which, if be survived his wife, he would have been
entitled to some interest. But he could not pass • lees
sentence than that of penal servitude, and the law pre-
vented him giving a shorter period than five yearn ; there-
fore that was the sentence he now pronounred.
This concluded the business of the session, and the
court was then adjourned until the 16th of December.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—{THIS DAY.)
The attendance of millers at to•day's market was small.
Coastwise, as well as by rail, the arrivals of home-grown
wheat were only moderate, nevertheless there was a want
of animation in the demand, at prices about equal to Mon-
day.
The quantity of foreign wheat in the market was good,
and was more than adequate to meet the limited require-
' ments of buyers. Sales in all descriptions progressed
heavily, at late currencies.
The floating cargo trade was quiet, bat prices were
without change.
The supply of English barley was small, of foreign mo-
derate. The inquiry was limited, at Monday's reduction
in value.

Malt moved off slowly, at barely stationary currencies.
Large supplies of foreign oats were on sale. Business
was generally of a retail character on former terms.
Beans were in short supply. The trade was quiet, but
full quotations were realised. _

Nits found buyers on former terms.
The flour trade ruled heavy, and prices were barely
supported.
Linseed and rapeseed were unaltered in value. Most
agricultural seeds were firmly held. Cakes were steady.

RE THE TEICH %ALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY.—THE RAILWAY

COMPANIES ACT, 1567.
This was a petition of the chairman and directors foe
the sanction of the court to a scheme by which it was pro.
posed to raise 24,0001. in excess of the borrowing Powell
authorised by the company', act of parliament. The appli-
cation was of importance, as it is the first ease
which has arisen under the act passed last session
for the purpose of enabling directors of railway
companies unable to pay their debts to propose for the ap-
prove] of the Court of Chancery a scheme of arrangement
with creditors, and if necessary for the raising of additional
capital. It appeared that the scheme in this case bad been
advertised as required by the act, and was unopposed. The
total debts were stated to be 37,000/., and creditors to the
extent of nearly 30,0001., were represented by counsel who
assented to the petition.

Mr. Cotton and Mr. Kekewich appeared for the peti.
tioners, and Mr. Cracknell for the creditors.

The Vice-Chancellor said the scheme appeared to have
been very carefully and well considered, and it was one
which he thought would he beneficial for all parties, in.
chiding the creditors, the great bulk of whom have ex-
pressed their cordial approval of the course the directors
proposed to take. The line at present was incom.
plate, and wholly unproductive, and it was hopeless
for creditors to expect anything from the company as
matters stood. He was glad the legislature had taken
steps to extricate railways from the state of embarraar
ment and confusion in which the law had left them, and
in pursuance of the power by which he was armed by the
act of last session, he bid no hesitation in expressing
proval of the scheme now submitted to him. The scheme
must be advertised again in the London Gazette and in two
local papers.

TOILZION APFAIIB.

Observing that in both houses of parliament there are
many gentlemen whose convictions last no longer than the
impulse, or the impression which has produced them, the
Daily Nero proceeds to refer to the oracular trifling of
Lord Houghton on the question of Rome. His lordship
has just returned from an intimate soci►l visit to the Em-
peror Napoleon, and it might well have been predicted he
would return home a facile believer in the bright side of
the Napoleooio system. With a charming and half.
unconscious piquancy, he explains the policy of the
Emperor in Italy like a senator. The Conatillaioand
itself could not do better. But if this impres-
sionable nobleman has made his influence felt in
courtly circles over the water, no good cause, we
may be sure, will suffer from his advocacy. And for the
the rest, we are no more disposed to complain of his being
a little " bitten" by imperi►lism than we should be to
complain of his having returned from Paris, in February,
'4B a democratic and socialist republican a Peas de rose.

After describing the Emperor Napoleon as unexampled
In his self-reliance end self-denial, in his rapidity of
acknowledging a mistake and endeavouring to repair it,
the TOWS procntdi to define the new bill for the »or-
ganisation of the French army u the abandonment of the
original scheme and a return to the law of 1832. The re-
vised bill gives up the principle of absolute equality, re-
leasing from the " tribute of blood " all those who can in
any way pay the debt in money. But mitigated as the
measure certainly now is, there Is no doubt that it still
enables the French government to raise its armament to
enormous and even ruinous proportions, and invests it
with almost boundless control over the freedom of the
subject.

The Port warmly supports the present Italian ministry.
It would be impossible at the present moment to find any
other body of constitutional statesmen with the real in-
terests of the monarchy at heart to accept office, unless
for the purpose of carrying out leas effectually the iden-
tical views which General Menabrea and his colleagues now
profess, and it is the idlest dream to suppose that any
Italian statesman acquainted with the present position of
his country would for a mingle instant speculate on the
suicidal resource of a mup &dot.

The Daily News urges 11. Kossuth to give the new govern-
ment of Hungary a fair trial, and not to embarrass it need-
lessly by raising questions likely to arouse the fierce pas-
sions and class prejudices now happily slumbering. It is
surprised that be should have selected a policy of opposi-
tion to the projected railways as his newest weapon of
attack. The want of railways in Hungary is practically
the only thing which keeps her corn and wine out of our
markets, and dooms so many villages, and so many thou-
sand acres of land to ruin and amt..

39,450,000. The minister said he should ask the
house for an addition of five millions tothe credit for
the extraordinary requirements of the army, as of
the 60 million voted 40 million had already been
employed. The Minister of Finance also announced
that the draft of a bill was in preparation for in-
creasing the amount of the civil list to four mil-
lions of thalers.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

pear OUR OWN CORRJOIPONDEWL)
PARIS, TUE.DAY EVENING.

I subjoin some of the most salient items of the
electoral news of the evening. In the Crewe M.
Sallandroure de Lamornaix has been elected a
councillor general by 1,700 votes against 580 given
to the government candidate. This is a terrible
blow to the prefect, who had reported to the
Minister of the Interior that " there was no
sympathy in the department for M. Sallandronze,
junr., and that he had not the least chance of
being chosen to succeed his much regretted father."
This election is an instructive commentary on the
excuse often put forward for the system of govern-
ment candidatures that the prefect merely desig-
nates those men who he knows beforehand are
popular with the constituency. M. Bernex, the
mayor of Marseilles, has not obtained an " abso-
lute " majority. There must be a second ballot,
and it is very probable that a coalition may throw
him out next Sunday. None of the elections at
Marseilles were definitive. The opposition there
is very strong. In the Ille-et-Vilaino an
opposition candidate, M. de Kordrel, has been re-
turned for the first timo ; the minorities through-
out the department are much larger than they
ever were before. At Bordeaux the contest was
very severe. There must be several new ballots.
One opposition candidate will certainly peas ; the
minorities are very large. At Lyons, notwith
standing the remodelling of the electoral district*
only two days before the election, the opposition
is positively triumphant. Out of seven councillors
to be elected four opposition candidates are
already returned, including M. F. Morin, of the
Areuir National. It is certain that the three
others will be elected next Sunday. The Pro-
grel de Lyon says :—" The population is in
ecstacies ; everybody is proud of a success
which shows that the democracy of Lyons is yet
worthy of its old reputation." In the canton of
Auzon (Haute Loire) the opposition candi-
date, M. Charles Lacombe, though he could
find no journal and no printer to pub-
lish his addresses, polled 1,407 votes, and the
government candidate was only elected by a
majority of 96. These are the "triumphs" of
which the Constitationne/ most indiscreetly boasts,
forgetting that the Emperor himself, in his letter
of January 19, branded the system under which
these elections have been conducted as " dis-
cretionary." At Nimes, the government candidate,
General Walsin-Esterhazy, was returned by a
majority of only 16 votes out of 2,100 electors. At

THE REFORM BILL PASsING THE LORDS.

After adverting to the very slight show of ex-
citement which attended the passing of the Reform Bill in
the Lords yesterday, though so historic and important a
scene, the Timm proceeds to observe that the assurance
which has been given of the maintenance of representative
government under all changes (meaning thereby the re-
presentation of minorities) removes the apprehenaions
which a simple reduction of the suffrage would
otherwise have caused. Of the two amendments intro-
duced by the Lords, voting pavers appear worse the more
they are examined, and the Commons cannot by any pos-
sibility assent to a machinery so obviously open to abuse.
On the other hand the amendment for the representa-
tion of minorities rests on ► platform unassailable and un-

The Tdegraph cannot speak with satisfaction of a bill
defaced with such palpable evils as the voting papers and
the representation of minorities. It would bear with the
unjust f►te which the copyholders have sustained by way
of " sop" to their lordships' just ambition of only being
remembered by the bill, if this sinister and fragmentary
folly were abolished.
The Mar expects to see the three-cornered crotchet ex-
tinguished by the resolution of Mr. Disraeli. The voting
paper amendment will remain, and strong efforts will be
made to intimidate the House of Commons into adopt-
ing it.

ENEMILS' GOODS IN NEI;TRAL VESSELS.

The rillUJ recovers from its surprise at finding Mr. Mill
opposed to relaxation from the miseries of war, to
challenge his arguments on the right of neutrals.
The concessions we have made have had their fair equiva-
lents. We have learnt by experience,though at first we were
very slow to believe the fact, that it is quite possible for a
foreign war to be waged between first-rate powers, and yet
for us to take no part in it. We have not the slightest
wish to attack anyone, and why should we seek, in favour
of belligerents, to repeal the rule, and so make the posi-
tion of neutrals almost intolerable ? The Timis is glad to
see that Lord Stanley evinces no inclination to yield to Mr.
Mill's views. The declaration of Paris may not be
capable of holding its ground under all that may
occur, but that is no reason why we should
not take advantage of it as far as it goes.
Indeed, every restriction placed on a belligerent, and
every facility accorded to a neutral, has a tendency in
favour of peace. The security of neutrals operates as a
fine on the belligerent, by withdrawing one Bourse of his
wealth, and it is a reward to the pacific, to whom it trans-
fers the profit, which, in their mutual hostility, nations
forego. Having entered into this agreement, moreover,
we are bound to maintain it. We have derived very con-
siderable advantages under it, and have as yet suffered no
injury.

The Herald and Standard are delighted to applaud Mr.
Mill for his speech on tho declaration of Paris. According
to these papers, that treaty is for England political muti-
lation, if not political suicide. The Standard has ever
believed, with the great body of the conservative party,
that the famous " Clarendon capitulation," made in Paris
at the close of the Crimean war, was one of the grossest
and most fatal blunders for which whig diplomacy is re-
sponsible.

- The Star agrees with Mr. Mill that we cannot stop in
maritime war with exempting private property in neutral
ships from capture, but what then is the next step ? On.
ward, the Star says, in the path Mr. Cobden so long pointed
out—the path which the United States were willing to
follow—to the exemption of all private property from cap-
ture at sea during war by armed vessels of every kind.
Backward, says Mr. Mill, to the system which searched
for your enemy's private property wherever it might pos-
sibly be found, and dripped him of It.
