THE FATE OF MAXIMILIAN.

BERLIN, JULY 4.

The fate of the Emperor Maximilian excites
general sympathy throughout Prussia, and it is
believed that the King has addressed an autograph
letter to the Emperor Francis Joseph, expressing
his moat earnest condolence, as well as that of his
royal house, at the bereavement which his Imperial
Majesty has sustained.

VIENNA, JULY 4, EVENIVG.
Baron Beust has received an official telegram
from Baron Wyderbruck, the Austrian minister at
Washington, dated July 3rd, 11 a.m., which says
—" Mr. Seward received to-day from the United
States consul at Matamorsa and Vera Cruz a con-
firmation of the execution of the Emperor Maxi-
milian."
London, England, 1867-07-05

THE EXECUTION OE

The Times will not admit that the proclamation of
Maximilian under which prisoners of war taken from
Mexican ranks were shot, justifies reprisals on his person.
There is this difference between the two Caere, that with
the capture of a guerilla officer the war was not brought
to an end, and in the stern policy of war it might be held
necessary to strike terror into others who might take
up arms against the government in power. But when
the Emperor via taken there was incontestably an
end to the empire. Can it seriously be believed that
Jaures thought that if Maximilian returned to
Europe he would make his appearance again, like Bur-
bide, to begin a second revolution The severities of the
French, who were, the Times believe., the chief offenders,
and of one or two of the imperialist generals, cannot be
justified, but to avenge these deeds, committed in the heat
of a civil war, by the execution of the fallen Emperor when
his cause was hopeless has no excuse. The Timer cannot
but see in this act the ferocity of the native character, or
avoid believing that bad even Maximilian refrained from
arrogating to himself that most invidious right of sove-
reignty, the right of treating domestic foes as rebels, he
would equally have shared the fate that befell him parti-
san.. European st►tes can at least express their opinion
of it by the reception they give to whatever persons
Juarez may think fit to send to them as hie representatives.
The Herald describe. Maximilian as one of the best and
greatest of men fallen in the very zenith of his fame by
the hands of brutal savages. The sootier the whole gang
of murderers is brought to the scaffold, the sooner the
Mexicans are thoroughly subdued and taken in hand, their
country parcelled out amongst foreigners and its very
name forgotten, the better will it be for Mexico, the
better for the world.

The Standard insists th►t upon the single occasion
when Maximilian resorted to the stern law of the country
for the protection of his government the act was at least
more that of his French supporters than of himself. He
might fairly be believed that it was a legal and regular
exercise of power, seeing that at the date of his proclama-
tion he was in full possession of the Mexican throne,
►pparently with the consent of the Mexican people. The
nations of Europe can do nothing to mark their Reese of
this monstrous outrage but to reject Mexico from their
communion—to hold her as an alien and an outlaw from
the general circle of civilisation—to refuse to know her as
a country entitled to the ordinary international rights and
courtesies.

to d.acuss any Ruch resolution as Sir L Palk has spoken

THE FAREWELL DINNER TO LORD
COWLEY.

PARIS, JULY 4, Kvaffixa.
The farewell dinner given last night to Lord
Cowley by the Marquis de Moustier and the mem-
bers of the diplomatic body passed off with great
cordiality. The whole of the diplomatic body ware
represented excepting Prince Metternich and Baron
Beyens, the Austrian and Belgian ministers,
absent on account of the death of the Emperor
Maximilian ; and Baron Seebach and. Count
Moltke-Hirtfield, the Saxon and Danish ministers,
who were not present in consequence of domestic
afflictions. The Marquis de Moustier drank a
toast to Lord Cowley, and declared that the latter
would leave behind him unalterable reminiscences.
Lord Cowley, replying to the toast, paid a
tribute to the Emperor, and to his policy, and
attested the increasing efforts which had been
made by his Majesty to promote good relations
between France and England. Among others, a
speech was made by the Papal Nuncio expressing
regret at Lord Cowley's approaching departure.
The Moniteur of to-day says : The Emperor
has received letters from the Queen of England by
which her Majesty terminates the mission of Lord
Cowley as ambassador and plenipotentiary extra-
ordinary at Paris.

TH6 CON YE=NUL

Notwithstanding the statement that England is
unwilling to assume the riponsibility of the guarantee
with others of the neutralisation of Luxemburg, the Times
believes the objects of the Conference will be not only
satisfactorily but even speedily attained. This neutralisa-
tion, which has been so successful with Switzerland, maybe
easily arranged by the neutral Powers, as it is naturally M-
aurod by the mutual jealousy of the two colossal States,
between which it is thrown by nature almost as a wedge.
Belgium and Holland are equally interested in this neu-
traliaatiou, and could they be made to arrange that matter
of Luxemburg to their mutual satisfaction, it is clear that
such a compact of mutual support could be stipulated be-
tween them as would enable them to maintain their
neutral position with at least as much firmness as Switzer-
land contrives to hold her own. That all the powers now
in conference will be required to guarantee the neutrality
of the territory is a matter which admits of little doubt ;
hut their obligations will not sit heavily upon them, and
with Great Britain the obligation will be very nearly, if
not absolutely, the same as that contracted towards the
united kingdom of the Netherlands in 1814 and towards
Belgium in 11430419.
The Post says it is hoped the labours of the Conference
will conclude on Saturday. The little which took place
yesterday, and the remarks which were interchanged,
were, it is understood, of a nature to justify a reasonable
belief that before the termination of the present week the
Luxemburg question will have been finally solved.
If the requirement of an English guarantee means that
whenever any government in France, of its own motion,
or urged on by popular clamour, shall think it right to
take possession of Luxemburg, now defenceless, this
country is to regard it at once as a roams belli with France,
the /Prof./ would certainly very much prefer that our
government should not commit itself to so serious a re-
spowdbility. If au engagement of the kind is respected
by us, it way do hereafter much injury to ourselves and
others; and, if observed, its consequences may be still
more serious. Perhaps tile beat way of getting over the
difficulty to the satisfaction of ail parties would be to
neutralise Luxemburg by annexing her to Belgium. The
integrity of Belgium we have guaranteed, and are bound
to defend, and one province more or less cannot make
much difference in the obligation.
The Teltwraph looks differently upon the matter,
though it is not quite clear what construction it puts on the
word " guarantee." It says that by agreeing to the Prus-
sian mislead we should not incur the slightest additional
responsibility. The old guarantee, binding us to vindi-
cate the arrangement that annexed Luxemburg to Hol-
land, threatens to bring about merlons complications ; and
the proposed agreement would simply translate that abso-
lute stipulation into a more modern guarantee, promising
to Europe a new lease of tranquillity.

AN EXTRAORDINARTCHARCi: OF ROBBERY AGAINST AN

MINIUM; CONDUCTOR.
Richard Dario, lA, au omnibus conductor, waa indicted
for stealing the sum of td., the money' of William
Kanner.

The prosecutor sail he lived at No. 44, Cranborne-street,
Leicester-square, awl en the evening of the Ztril of April be
was • passenger by the prisoner's omnibus from the Welsh
lfarp to go to the Metropolitan Music-hall, in the Edg-
ware-road, and he arrived in London at about twenty
minutes to 7, the priaoner at that time being the con.
ductor of the omnibus. Before he alighted he gave the
prisoner half a sovereign in payment of his fare, and this
was done about CM yards before they reached the Metro-
politan Music-hall, where the omnibus stopped. When be
gave the prisoner the half-sovereign he said he would give
him the change presently. Before, however, the omnibus
arrived at the Music-hall the prisoner left it, and a horse-
keeper took his place. He saw the prisoner again in about 25
minutes afterwards, and asked him for change out of the
half sovereign he had received from him. The prisoner
replied, "Yon gave me a sixpence, and I have not received
a half sovereign to-day." He took some money from his
pocket and said that was all he had, and there was no half
sovereign amongst it. He (witness) then called • police
constable and gave the conductor into custody, and at the
station-house he saw a half sovereign taken from the pri-
soner. Witness had no silver about him, for if he had he
should not have given the half sovereign.
Richard Keane, police-constable 131 X, Itlid—On the
evening in question he was on duty in the Edgware-road,
and the prisoner was given into his custody on • charge of
stealing Ds rd. belonging to the prosecutor, being the dif-
ference of half a sovereign given to him in payment of his
fare. The prisoner said he had not got half a sovereign
about bins. He searched him and found half • sovereign
in his pocket with sonic silver.
The prisoner's defence was, that as it was Hendon fair
day he hail taken too much too drink, and was • little ex-
cited, and he was not aware that the prosecutor had riven
him half a sovereign. Ile did not know that he had a
half sovereign about him until the money was taken from
him at the station. rind when it was discovered he was very
sorry that he had misled the gentleman. It was not done
intentionally, or from any dishonest motive to rob the gen-
tleman of his change.
The jury took this view, and returned a verdict of Noe
Guilty.

THE HOP PLANTATIONS.— ROCHESTER, MAY 7.
The late warm days and nights have caused the youn4
hops to push forward rapidly, and the reports from the
chief hop-growing districts of Kent all describe the blue
as being healthy and strong, with a growth altogether
unprecedented. There are bat few plantations remaining in
which polling is uncompleted, and by the close of the pre-
sent week it is expected that the whole will be finished.
In some few gardens the aphis has already commence!
their attacks on the young bine, but a few heavy showers
will effectually clean the plant. The only fear entertained
on the part of the largest planters is, that the bine should
become too forward from the present unusually warm
weather, and become nipped on a change of weather. A
great deal of heah land has this year been brought under
hop.cultivation throughout both Kent and Sussex.

MISCIELLANZOUB TOPICS.

The Times takes it that the manner in which the ques-
tion of ritualism will be dealt with by public authority is
decided by the statement made by Lord Derby last night
in the House of Lords. A royal commission will be issued
to examine the rubric which affords an excuse for these
novel practices, and at the same time, without touching
the doctrines or teaching of the Book of Common Prayer,
to take into consideration any other rubrics upon which
disputed questions of ceremonial have arisen. Notwith-
standing individual differences of opinion, this decision,
the Time. says, received a general acquiescence, and it was
perhaps, the only passible compromise between the via-
lions modes of action which have been adopted.
The report of the commiulon will doubtless render any
subsequent measure easy of enactment. It must be con-
fessed, however, that though these flaunting dresses and
childish toys might be abolished, the real danger to the
church might still remain. That danger consists in the ex-
istence within her of a body of men who are actively dis-
seminating a system of principles utterly alien to her cha-
racter, inconsistent with her formularies, and fatal to her
influence with the nation. This danger can only be met
by bringing to bear against the superior but similar force
of argument, of energy, and of public feeling.
The Daily News notices with hopefulness the establish-
ment of the various chambers of agriculture in the country,
oneof the last of which was that in Warwickshire. The differ-
ence between an association of this nature and one of the
old-fashioned farmeri clubs, or show meetings, springs
from and denotes the difference in the times.

The Herald and Telegraph dwell on the position of the
London and Brighton Company, a meeting of which takes
place to-morrow. The Herald is unable to feel very
sanguine upon the future of the company. Whether after
paying preferential and debenture charges anything will
remain for the ordinary shareholders depends upon the
fulfilment of sundry favourable anticipations. The one
really hopeful sign in the directors' report is the mention
which is male of a posa:ble federation between their own,
the London, Chatham, and Dover, and the South Eastern
Railway Companies, of an adoption in the south-eastern
part of the island of the same expedient which has proved
ao successful in the north-eastern. The Telegraph pre-
sumes, from the Liagusgc of the directors, that the system

THE IRI3H CHURCH.

The Times trusts that the subject of the Irish church
will not be left another session to the member for Kilkenny,
but to some man of eloquence and political weight. Our
contemporary has never herd but one argument for the
establishment, and thst is the lack of • popular demand
for its removal, but under their present political leaders
even this practical acquiescence is coming to an end. On
the ground of simple right and justice not a word is to be
said for it, and so invidious is the position of
some of its members that it seems probable the Irish
church itself would make uo resistance to • scheme by
which the enormities of the present system should be done
away with. Mr. Oladstone's speech is a proof that the set-
tlement cannot be much longer delayed. Looked'upon as a
manifesto of his principles, it would seem that it indicates
the near coming of a time when the British parliament
will devote itself fully and fairly to surmount the chief
difficulty of Irish government. His conclusion obviously
is that the removal of anomalies of detail would not he

THE ALLEGED EXECUTION OP MAXIMILIAN.

The Times is constrained to say that from the
character of the Mexicans, and of Juarez in particular, it
sees nothing incredible in what it terms the atrocious
and useless crime of Maximilian's execution. The severities
practieed by the French and imperialist generals against
certain of the republicans who were captured while main-
taining a desultory warfare afforded an excuse foe retalia-
tion, but if it has really been taken in this way, the blood
will cling to the nation as well as to the man who has
ordered it to be shed. For Maximilian himself there will
be nothing but pity. When he accepted the throne it was
on the express condition that he should be maintained by
foreign assistance until his seat was perfectly assured.
Yet at the bidding of the United States the French retired
and left the new empire to its fate.
It is possible, the Post remarks, that the captain of the
Austrian frigate at New Orleans, who sends the news, may
have been imposed upon, but the fact that the telegram
proceeds from the Austrian naval commander, and the
added incident, that Juarez had " refused to deliver up
the body," seems to show that the captain had himself
been in communication with the liberal general. Juarez
and his followers, if they have done this deed, have lost
for ever any sympathy which might otherwise have been
felt for them and their cause, and by an act of such
unnecessary and purposeless cruelty have shown that they
are unworthy to be regarded with anything but horror and
detestation.

OXFORD AND CAIIBIII3OI naviestras.

Play in this great match was resumed this morning at
Lord's. During the night there had been • heavy fall of
rain, which, however, did not affect the ground below the
surface. The announcement in the morning papers of the
very interesting position in which the game stood last
night, and the promise of another day's excellent play, had
the effect of bringing together • large concourse of
spectators of both sexes, and a ring was at once formed
three or four deep. There were also large numbers of car-
riagesand horsemen. At 10 minutes to 12 the "riot outs" of last
night, Mr. Case, with 16, and Mr. Tritton, with 12, took
possewon of the wickets, and the bowling was st►rted by
Mr. Pelham, who delivered the first (in order) over to Mr.
Case. Mr. Absolom bowled from the opposite wicket. The
first hit above a single was • 3 in the slips ►y Mr.
Case ; the second ball of Mr. Abaolom's second
over. Mr. Tritton unfortunately played on to his leg
and it rolled into his wicket with just suffi-
cient impetus to dislodge one bale— 1 for 33.
Mr. Digby was next in, and the first ball Mr. Pelham
bowled to Mr. Case, that gentleman hit straight back, ap-
pixently out of reach, but.kfr. Pelham sprung upandcaught
it with the right hand, in • way that astonished everybody,
and none more so than those immediately interested. This
catch was " one of a thousand," and elicited loud shouts
and cries of " bravo "-2 for 33. Mr. Boyle was caught
easily at mid off-3 for 55. Mr. Dishy, after being
missed at the wicket, was caught by Mr. 'White on the leg
side high up, in an extraordinarily clever manner-4 for
62. At 1 o'clock the score stood as under:

EAST INDIAN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was
held at one o'clock; Mr. It. W. CRAWFORD, M.P., in the
chair. . .

The report, which bad been issued some time before,
having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN moved its adoption. He first called
attention to the progress in the works under construction,
as stated in the report. The Jubbulpore line had been
completed within the fixed time, and was fully equal as a
line to the expectations formed ; and he had no doubt that
it was now in active working. He hoped that in due time
the board would be enabled to announce that all the works,
including the doubling of the line uptoAllehabad, had been
finished. Before long they would be enabled in conjunction
with the Great Indian Peninsular Company to convey pas-
sengers and goods from Bombay to Calcutta and rice
revel. The tndlic of the last half-year was satisfactory.
The gross receipts of that year were 1,119,000/. against
928,000!. in the preceding year. Since the report was drawn
up au account had been received of the traffic up to the
loth of June. It was estimated that at the next meeting
the board would be enabled to announce gross receipts to
the amount of 1,200,000/. ; and he hoped they would also
lay before the proprietors a statement similar to that
presented in January last. (Cheers.) Step' were
being token for the raising of an additional million
for the works in progress. He then referred to the ques-
tion of establishing a provident fund for the company's
servants in India, and pointed out the advantages of the
plan recommended in the report, namely, that of giving
the company's officers an interest in the profits after they
reached a certain amount. In conclusion he expressed a
hope that there would never be any foolish rivalry be-
tween ~the different Indian railway companies ; and ob-
served that in the case of that company as the capital had
been increased so the amount of profit had increased in a
greater proportion ; and said he hoped the time was
not far distant when the capital account would be entirely
closed and the beard refuse to make any extensions, and
that his motto would be " Remember the Brighton Rail-
way." (Cheers.)
After some discussion the report was adopted and the
proceedings terminated in the usual manner.

Ste,—Allow me to contradict imam portion of
your account of the accident that occurred to Mr. Palmer,
I the "American Ceiling Walker," at the Royal Cambridge
Music Hall. You state that "he fell on the stm,e,"
whereas he fell into the net (which is impended to receive
him, in case of accident) and from will, h he extricated
himself, without any assistance, and came down on the
stage entirely scatheless, in the usual manner—viz, bylthe
rope with which he ascends and descends. Mr. Yap did
not " have the hall closed immediately," inasmuch is Mr.
Palmer was the last on the programme, and the perform-
ances were concluded at the usual hour, and in the us, al
manner. By giving insertion to this you will greatly
oblige, yours, &c.

Debts, 1.3.10/., of which 3001. is due to the Delhi Bank.
The bankrupt stated that he was obliged to leave India

Mr. Aldridge, for the official assignee, offered no oppo-
sition.

The bankrupt stated that his pay, when in India, was
400/. a year. Owing to the delicate health of his wife,
whom be should be obliged to leave in this country, be
could not afford to set anything aside towards the payment
of his debts, though he would willingly do so. He bad
been seventeen years in India, and had no other source of
income but his pay.
His Honour said that all the creditors who resided in
India had had notice, and, as no one opposed, the bank•
rupt might have his order of discharge without setting

A PAINFUL CARL-CONVICTION OP A TRANSLATOR OP

Peter Auguste de Noche, 51, a tall, gentlemanly-looking
man, described as a professor of languages, and of superior
education, was indicted for stealing 12 books of gold-leaf,
value lee., the property of Alfred Taylor.
A degree of interest was manifestea in this case in Com
sequence of the position of the prisoner. The court was
crowded with the friends of the prisoner. Mr. F. H.
Lewis prosecuted; Mr. Cough (instructed by Mr. Riddles)
defended the prisoner.
The prisoner, who was evidently affected by the position
in which he was placed, ple:uled " not guilty." He at
first elected to be tried by a foreign jury, but of terwArds
ax pressed his willingness to be tried by a common jury.
The facts of the moo were these. On the Mb of June,
Alfred Taylor, a sign and fascia writer, was employed writ-
ing a tablet outside the Queen's Head public. house, Theo.
bald's-road, and for safety put his bag containing the
paraphernalia necessary to his tin& under the seat

his work, he saw the prisoner go into the private

CRICKET.

THE OVAL-(THIS DAY.)
SURREY C. LANCASHIRE.

This, the first bonalule county match of the
season 1867, and the seereadannualappearance of the eleven
of the county palatine in the metropolis, commenced this
morning at the Oval. The weather was all that cricketers could
possibly desire, and the condition of the wickets and other
accessories was unexceptionable. Neither Iddison nor
Reynolds put in an appearance, another result of the un-
fortunate "schism," it is said. The latter, we regret to
bear, is suffering from inflammation of the kidneys. Lanca-
shire won the toss, and elected to take first innings.
which commenced as near twelve o'clock as possible.
They sent to the wickets C. Coward and Ricketts,
opposed to the bowling of Whale and Griffith, the latter
delivering slows from the Pavilion end. Coward soon gave
the Surrey men a taste of his quality, and in about as many
minutes put 20 runs on the score, while his partner made
5 ; he cut Whale for 4 twice, and indeed hit very freely all
round. The Blows not being found to pay, Griffith at 30 sub-
stituted his fast bowling, which, in the second over
proved fatal to C. Coward, who was well taken 'oehind by
Pooley. This was a good commencement, one wicket for
31 runs, of which the retiring batsman had booked 21 by
some excellent hitting for which he was applauded. Mr.
E. B. Rowley joined Ricketts, who is one of the Lancashire
colts of the present year, and a very promising one too.
The batsmen elevated the score to 50, when another change
of bowling (Sewell for Griffiths) took place.
