TH

cause of honour is upheld, is liar the
tbe
sorship. More than one of tht su ul plays
have been produced of late in Paris is, it is true,
a morale's satire of contemporary manners, but, as
the writer in the Revue remarks, "Some how or
"other it generally happens that plays professing
"to correct bad morals offend good ones ;" and
this, perhaps, is the secret of their success. The
public delights in the spectacle of its own humilia-
tion, and the censorship, faithful to its instruc-
tions, and to a system of government which is
founded on human baseness, consistently forbids
the good and permits the bad. Nevertheless, this
is a Government ordained, as all the world
knows, to save the essential principles of society.
No Government, let us do it the justice to as
knowledge, has ever more sedulously paid oral and
documentary homage to virtue. The Blue Book,
which renders an annual account to the Chambers
of the state of the Empire, admits and deplores
moat emphatically this literary and artistic de-
cline of the stage " in spite of the constant efforts
" of the Administration," and attributes it to the
regrettable indulgence of the public. But we
shall be asked—What account can we give
of our own stage 4 Well, the beet and the
worst that we can say for English plays and
playgoers, subsisting as they do for the moat
part on adaptations from the French, is that
they are neither very much worse nor very
much better than the originals ; except,
indeed, in the occasional prudery that invites
to dulness, and makes vice more gross. Nor is the
oontagion of a moral plague more easy to avert
from our shores than the murrain. In many of the
feminine novels which at present inundate our cir-
culating libraries, will be found all the flagrant
pruriency of the French stage. We breathe the
contagion of Imperialism. Our literature, our
stage, our politics are charged with it. How should
our literature or our stage escape when our whole
publics and private life is infected

OATHS BILL.

The house having gone into committee,
Sir G. GREY said the bill he was about to submit bad
been the subject of considerable discussion last session, and
therefore be did not propose to speak upon it at any length.
He would, however, briefly state its objects. There were
two oaths now taken by members of that house, one by
protestants sod the other by Romeo catholic+. The former
was framed in 1858, and was a consolidation of the oaths of
allegiance, abjuration, and supremacy. With regard to
that portion of the oath which promised allegiance
to the Sovereign, every member of that house would admit
that that was a proper oath to be taken. With regard to
that part of the oath abjuring the Pretender, they wonld
all ogres that the time had come when it might be die-
permed with. (Hear, bear.) With respect to the
negative part of the oath relating to supremacy, and
declaring that no foreign prime or potentate bad
anthori,y or jurisdiction in this countzy, it appeared
'to him that that was useless. The Boman catholic
oath contained, like the protestant oath, the oath of
&Roemee and the oath of abjuration, and the latter might
be dispensed with as well in this case as in the other.
They ovght not to place their catholic fellow sub-
jects on a footing which was not equal to that on which
' they themselves stood. There were other parts of the oath
relating to the established church, and be should repeat
that they afforded no security to the protestant °buret.
With regard to those members of the house who were of the
:swish persuasion, he thought the time bad arrived when they
also should be placed on an equality with the other members.
The bill he proposed to lay on the table was a short one,
by which it was intended to repeal the present oaths and
to provide that the oath to be tam by members should be
is these words :—" I A. R. do swear that I will faithfully
boar true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, and
defend her to the utmost of my power against all con-
spiracies whatever wbieb may be made against her power,
crown, or digaity."tear, beer.)

THZ PARLIAKINTART OATHS.

The bill which Sir George Grey introduced into
the House of Commons last evening providing a form of
words to be taken by members of all religious persuasions
is held by the Timm to be the best expedient that can be
devised. If members of the two houses simply ■war
allegiance to the Queen, they may very well be allowed
such liberty on other subjects as their constituents and the
opinion of the country are likely to give them, There is
not one single stipulation in the oath se it now
steads which, even viewing it from a protestant and con-
servative point of view, serves any practioalpurpose. Swear
the Papists es you please, and the Queen's throne, the
landed property of Ireland, and the Irish establishment
mast still be maintained by the good will of the people of
the United Kingdom. In whatever is done the Roue's of
Parliament will but follow public opinion, and these assn
verations, imposed by suspicion on weakness, will not retard
the time of change by a single hour. It what are celled
the essential parts of the oath are so nugatory, what is to
be said of the forms of words which merely imply suspi-
cion of the moral character of Papists ? The maintenance
of these is now simply an insult to those on whom they are
Imposed. The famous denial of equivocation and mental
reservation would hardly be invented anew in the present
day by any person of ordinary understanding ; for no man
who is capable of oonnectinetwo ideas can fail to sae that if
a papist desires to equivocate at all, be will equivocate am-
canting the part of the oath which condemns equivocation
as well as concerning the rest.

JAMAICA.

The Daily News observes that the addresses of his friends
is Jamaica to Mr. Eyre show that if the question bad been
remitted to them the labours of Sir Henry Storks and the
recorders would have been superfluous. The view they
have taken of the blame cast on Mr. Eyre in this country is
foolishly incorrect. All of us feel satisfaction at the
punishment meted out to proved murderers and traitors,
and our opinion he. been declared as to the ability with
which the riot at Morant Bay was suppressed. No one
is England has objected to the measures which Mr. Eyre
found necemay to overcome armed resistance ; but judging
entirely by his own words, and those of his officers, he
has sot met mime with law, but encountered murder with
murder, and dope all that in him lay to make the peasantry
of the Island believe that British ascendancy in Jamaica
rested upon the power and will of the white inhabitants to

mamma. If they were not so frightened, the people who
have addressed Governor Eyre would lee that so much

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

We are glad to find that two crews—although in
the rough—equalliog those of lost year, are about to com-
mence active training for this great aquatic contest; sod we
are also glad to see that one of the beat of Cambridge oars-
men, Mr. D. F. Steavenson, Trinity Hall, has, to the great
grstalleatioe of all Cambridge supporters, taking his lent
year's seat—No. 6—where he will doubtless continue up to
the day of the race. From Oxford the scoonats of the crew
ars moat satisfactory. Invite of the raw weather and hea-
viness of the stream the men are all well, and under the
care of Mr. C. R. Carr, Wadham, sad Mr. G. Morrison, two
of last year's crew, they improve vastly, giving the greatest
amount of metafiction to their fellow collegians and the
Oxford public who witness their daily trips. The alter-
nately stroke oat is taken by Messrs. Brown and Senhottse,
and both will probably row on the day. The crew by
latest &dykes were:

R. T. Rakes, Merton.
F. Crowder, Brain ooee.
G. H. Morrell, Exeter.
F. Willair, Exeter.

W. L Freeman, Merton.
W. W. Wood, Untveratty.
E. F. Henley, Oriel.
M. Brown, Trinity.

They will almost immediately go into active training,
and should any train off or go amiss, there are plenty of
good men to put in their places.
From Cambridge the news is good. Mr. Kinglake's task
is by no means a thankful one. He has lost the services of
four or five tried men through private or perchance parental
reasons, and is therefore confined to selection from a
limited number. Mr. Scam:mon has joined him, and when
one of the men retires for Mr. Kinglake shortly them will
be five of the old crew in the boat. They Dave a splendid
eight, newly built by M. Taylor, of Newcastle, and will
shortly use her. The wind is very high, and the labour
home excessive, but the men are cheerful, and promise to
be a very fine crew. The following are the names of the
crew that rowed from Searle's to Saitabite and back on
Monday, and there will probably be but one other change:
T. F. Jr.-wood, Trinity Hall. D. F. Steavenson, Trialty Hall.
J. FL Selwyn, Trinity. IJ. Still, Cahn.
J. W. Bourl e, Trinity. H. Watoey, St. John's.

CATTLE PLLOUZ LSODILLTION.

The Pose considers it u a feat to be borne in mind in
discussing the respective advantages of the government
bill and that of Mr. Hunt, in respect to the cattle plague,
that the deputations which 'support the latter measure,
are exclusively composed of individuals who represent the
owners of cattle. The consumers are in favour of lati-
tude, whilst the producers advocate strictness ; and It be-
comes the duty of the legislature to *murals, so far se
possible, the wishes and interests of both. The objection
that the discretionary power proposed by Sir G. Grey to
be given to the local authorities may be injudiciously
exercised supplies no argument against its being
conferred. It is in this. as in many other cease,
an election between two evils, and the government
rightly consider that tens evils likely to arise from a tote
prohibition of the removal of cattle from place to place
would be much more serious than those likely to spring
from an incautious exercise by the local authorities of the
power entrusted to them.
The Advertiser, commenting upon the question of remu-
neration or compensation to owners of cattle formerly
destroyed without the enaction of their owners by govern-
ment inspectors, urges that no reason can be assigned for
denying justice in this caws. The injurious effects of the
measure so injudiciously carried into effect by force do not
lessen the necessity for recompensing the owners by a fair
'nineties of their loss. There would be no security for
private property if such a course of conduct could be pur-
sued without means of redress. . .

The merit of the government bill appears to the Tc/e-
-graph to lie in this, that without causing a petrifaction of
rural life, or aiming at an isolation which is nothing if
not absolutely perfect, and which a sparrow building its
nest may ruin, the measure will est a guard of the local
authorities upon every herd and head in the kingdom, and
thus surround the disease the minute it appears. Under
Mr. Hunt's bill, there cnild be co stock markets, no
driving to slaughter, no changing from pasture to pasture,
no sale from farm to farm, no re•stocking of empty
sheds, no recovering of stray beasts, no visits for breeding
purpose' ; sad doubtless the agriculturists, who, if they
get the question of compeosat'on satisfactorily settled,
hardly cue wh►t else is done, would submit to these pro-
visions ; but the Telegraph believes the enormous difficul-
ties of carrying out such a meuure and its extreme and all
but intolerable pressure are not overborne by the better
prospects of rower which it is supposed to present.

Pope; nor is there any need that it should be. The Italian
government is already established at Florence, nor could it
find a more pleasant or more appropriate habitation. This
need not imply a repeal of the vote of the Italian nation,
nor need Rome be deprived of the name of capital of Italy,
with which she was bailed by the Turin parliament. The
working capital may still be at Florence, bat the old me-
tropolis, with the Pope at the Vatican, may also be re-

kind of democratic parliament of science, assembling

eminence alone, admitting all who choose to become
members to a share in its deliberations, and trusting
for support entirely to the popular interest in flu scientific
objects. The sultivation of the physical schemes is the
meat marked and euoceseful oompatioa of the age, and
the triumphs of those sciences over the reluctance and
resistance of the great natural forms is the most marked
feature of modern civilisation in its material and intellec-
tual aspect.. The Divine command to subdue the earth
is 'being rapidly obeyed ; and the empire of man
over nature is represented by the great wee to which
science has subjected the natural forces and laws.
The British Association contributes to " the advancement
of science" quite as much indirectly as directly. Meeting

plies and make pants in aid. Beyond these sufficiently
tangible benefits, so spontaneously and generously con-
ferred on the empire, it ha achieved another splendid

Aiwa philosophy, applied science, and the inventive in-
dusky of the land.

The Marquis of Waterford died this morning
at his country seat. He had been ill six days of pigtail)
fever.
The deceased was the fourth marquis, and was in holy
orders. He was born on 27th April, 1814, and succeeded
his brother, the late marquis, in 1859. The elevation of
the Earl of Tyrone to the peerage, consequent upon his
father's death, will cause a vacancy in the representation
of the county of Waterford.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.)
The market was again scantily supplied with wheat from 119
Essex and Kent, and its quality was but middling. The II
attendance was small, and but little inclination was shown a
to purchase. Factors, however, were in no hurry to press
sales, prices, consequently, were without alteration. Fine
parcels were disposed of at full quotations, but inferior
qualities were difficult to sell.
Foreign wheat moved off slowly, but prices ruled firm.
The show of samples was
In floating cargoes of grain, only a moderate business
was passing, at late rates.
Fine malting barley commanded extreme rates, other-
wise the trade was heavy.
There was a moderate demand for malt, and prices ruled
firm.
In oats the transactions were on a limited scale, and
heated and inferior qualities were rather easier in value.
Beans and peas were in steady request, at quite late
rates. Very few samples were on offer.
The flour tnule was quiet, on former terms.
Linseed and rapeseed moved off slowly. The demand
for cakes was less active, but no change took place in prices.

PROCLAMATION OF PRINCE CHARLES
TO THE ROUMANIANS.
BUCHAREST, Ocr. 25.
The following proclamation of Prince Charles of
Hohenzollern to the Roumanians has been officially
published :
Roumans,—The patriotism you have displayed in the
most brilliant manner in all the principal epochs of your
history has preserved to you uninjured the sacred inheri-
tance of your forefathers, the Roumanian fatherland. Re-
cently, again this patriotism of yours enabled you to under-
stand the true interests of your country, and moved you
unanimously to proclaim tile hereditary character of your
throne and a constitutional form of government. By this
means you have connected freedom with stability, and
secured a rapid and uninterrupted development of all the
vital elements of the land.
Itemnans—Your fervent wishes are now fulfilled.
Your elected sovereign has received the official intel-
ligence that ho has been recognised by the Sublime
Porte, and the other Powers will also doubtless
no longer delay to recognise the work of your endurance
and moderation. I remark with joy that the Sublime
Porte, while admitting the sincerity of your intentions and
the calmness of your attitude, sees at the same
time in your national strength, and the maintenance of the
relations which draw us near to it, a powerful
guarantee of order and stability. The object of my
journey to Constantinople is personally to assure
his Majesty the Sultan of the high regard we shall always
entertain for the treaties that have settled our relations to
Turkey, as well as to receive from his Majesty on
the other hand the assurance of his sincerest good
will for the prosperity and the rights of Roumania. I
depart with full security in the future, for I know that
your blessings will follow me everywhere. I leave
behind with you my memory and all my house.
hold. Yon have summoned me to be your sovereign,
and as the voice of the people is the voice of God, I
cherish the fullest hope that the Almighty will support
me in the endeavours I shall never be tired of uniting
with yours to promote the progress and the increase of our
country. CHARLES.

The Duchess of Nassau purposes remaining at
Biebrich for her confinement, and immediately afterwards
will COMO to Paris to join the dulte, her husband.

France," reaches us from Copenhagen, namely, that the
Russian minister at the court of Denmark, Baron de
Nicolai, has become insane."

SURREY SESSIONS.

(Beforellr.Johnsan,Chsinsan.)
ThE WHOLESALE nrrnT TOR STOLEN GOODS IN THE

WATERLOO-ROAD.

George Tuck, 43, and George Heniwnn, 23, were in-
dieted for stealing a leather portmazite.u, containing a f ,
dressing-case, with valuable property, belongi, g to Mr.
William Seagrove.
Mr. Lilley prosecuted, and Mr. Thomson and Mr. Lax-
ton defended the prisoners.
It appeared from the evidence, that the prosecutor, a
surgeon residing at Newington, fetched his daughter
from the Great Western Railway terminus in a cab on
the night of the 24th of September last, and the port-
manteau was placed on the roof. On the way she driver
several times suspected he was followed by a fast going
horse and trap, and on pulling up at the end of Park-lane
the portmanteau was missed. Information was immedi-
ately given to the police, and on the following day Henry
Morton, 63 C, an active and intelligent officer, proceeded to
the house of the prisoners, and found them in an upper
room. Ho asked them if the property in that room be-
longed to them. Tuck said it was his. Witness then
searched the room, and under a large quantity of linen he
found the dressing-case, broken open, and nearly all the ,
contents, which Mr. Seagrove identified. The officer also
found • large quantity of cloth and other property, which
the prisoners could give no account of.
A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the learned
counsel having addressed the jury on behalf of the pri-
soners a verdict of Guilty was returned.
A former conviction was proved against Tuck, who was
well known to the police as a receiver of stolen property.
Henaman was not known.
Morton, the officer, informed the court that the property
found in the house, and now in possession of the police,
was worth upwards of 2001., none of which up to the pre-
' sent time had been owned.
; The Chairman said that as Tuek was such an old
offender he should sentence him to ten years' penal ser-
vitude, and fortunately for liensman he was not known to
the police, but no doubt he had been concerned with the
other
in ainillar depredations • therefore he should sen-
tence him to eighteen months' Ward labour at Wandsworth
Howie of Correction.

"There is but little news," says Hurkarti," from
Bhootan. The force is breaking up, and troops are
moving down to the plains en route to their several
stations and cantonments. It is useless now to dwell
upon the feeling of chagrin with which they are quit-
ting the positions they held along the frontier, or
the surprise with which native courts, chiefs, and
feudatories are gazing on this astonishing spectacle.
Colonel Bruce has accomplished the work he had to
perform, and comes away shortly, for the purpose,
it is believed, of proceeding to Europe on sick leave.
He will be succeeded in his appointed by Colonel

CHINA AND JAPAN.

The China Mai, mentioning that Sir Ruther-
ford Alcook has arrived at Pekin, says it is cer-
tain that the cabinet is not favourably disposed
towards foreigners. Tho news from the north is
contradictory respecting the movements of the
rebels, who appear to avoid as much as possible a
drawn battle with the Imperial commander Taeng
and his generals. The Mail further says that
parts of Shantung, Houma, Kiangsn, Chili,
Hupeh, Kiangsi Fukien, Kwangtung, Kwangai,
and Szchuen are still in a state of civil disorder,
and great outrages are committed by the ma-
rauders. Ningpo and the neighbourhood
are much disturbed by pirates, who are
becoming more daring every day. Their
valour has recently been somewhat checked
about Amoy, but not sufficient to ensure the safety
of foreign ships in a calm except they are heavily
armed. These rebels and their associates are likely
to be some offshoots of the rebellion still existing in
Fukien, Kwangtung, and Kiangsi. The combined
army of Taepings amounts to from 80,000 to
300,000 men, women, and children, of whom per-
haps 20,000 are good fighting men.
From Japan the actual news is of no importance.
