7HE APPROACHING MEETING OF THE
EMPERORS.

A Vienna correspondent of the In&'pendance
Bel9e, writing on the 9th instant, says :
" At the castle of Salsburg everything is in motion for
the reception of the Emperors of Austria and France. The
apartments which were usually occupied by the Dowager
Empress Caroline Augusta are intended for the Empress
Eugenie ; the Emperor N►poleon will use the rooms in
which the Emperor Francis Joseph usually resides. The
latter will for the time have the apartments of his
brother the Archduke Louis Victor. It is rumoured
that the King of Bavaria and the King of Wurtem-
burg will come to Salsburg during the stay of the
Emperors ; but, notwithstanding certain prepara-
tions which have been ordered, nothing positive
has been decided. I learn, however, that the
Kings of Bavaria and Wintemburg will in any case meet
the Emperor and Empress of the French during their
journey. For the rest, whatever may be said, and what-
ever may be the meaning attached to it, the visit which is
about to be made by the Emperor Francis Joseph occupies
more or less the courts of Berlin and St. Petersburg. I
am assured on very good authority that the circumstance

of the Emperor of the French being the drat to visit the
Emperor of Aturtria, while the sovereigns of Prussia and
Russi► went to Paris first, has already aroused certain
susceptibilities."

is not to be regulated by the direct or indirect

THE REFORM LEAGUE AND THE ROYAL
PARKS BILL.

Last night a meeting of trades delegates and
members of the Reform League was held in the Sussex
Hall, Bouverie-street, under the chairmanship of Mr.
Edmond Beales, to consider the action of government in
respect of the Royal Parks Bill. Mr. Whalley, M.P.,
and most of the prominent members of the Reform
!=rwere present. Mr. Mantle moved the following
ini:ion, which was seconded by Mr. OuedaUs :—" That
this meeting having heard the statement made by the pre-
sident of the league and others, of the disecosion and pro-
ceedings to-day in the House of Commons in the attempt
to recommit the Royal Parks Regulation WI, resolved'
to suspend further proceedings, in the
so •
earnest that
the government will yet withdraw a bill
wishes of the great bulk of the and so 11100/11/13 e
with the spirit of the general Yation of the session, and
respectfully but earnestly urges the suspension by the
government of all further legislation as to the right of
public meeting in Hydspark, until, if necessary, a com-
mittee hes been appointed and reported upon the sabjeck"
Mr. Richardaon moved es an amendment that a demon-

stration antagonistic to the Parka Bill be bald riallyde-
park on Sunday evening, at 5 o'clock. Mr. Johnson
seconded the amendment. Several speakers expressed
themselves in favour of its withdrawal. The amendment
was ultimately withdrawn, and the resolution was put
and carried. Colonel Dickson moved the following reso-
lution, which was seconded by Mr. Cunnington and
adopted:—" That this meeting of debates begs to record
its earnest thauks to M. P. A. Taylor and the other
members of parliament who hays perseveringly resisted
the progreis of the Parks Regulation Bill, and is confident
that their cmaduet in this crisis will be approved by the
working men and all thoughtful politicians throughout
the country." The meetirg then adjourned till Monday
evening next.

THE WEST AFRICAN MAIL.

The West African mail steamer McGregor Laird
arrived at Liverpool yesterday. Her dates are,
Fernando Po, July 11 ; Cameroon', 10 ; Bonny,
15 ; Lagos, 19 ; New Calabar, 21 ; Cape Palmas,
24 ; Sierra Leone, 28 ; Tenerife, August 4 ; and
Madeira, 6. Trade was dull, but public heal+h
good at Cameroon.. Lagoa and Fernando Po were
unhealthy. There was no change in the state of
health or business at other ports since last mail.

AN EXEMITION AT HONO-KONO.—Cheong-Po-
swag, the only one convicted of the five men engaged in the
murder of the cloth seller in Tank-lane, and three of the
four pirates convicted at the May sessions for piracy and
murder on the high gess, were on the 24th of June
executed at Hong-Kong, at the usual place in front
of the gaol. As the bell struck 6 the prisoners were
led forth to the scaffold, near which were a number
of Europeans, one or two companies of police, and
50 penal servitude convicts ranged on one aide of the
compound. Chsong-fook had to be pushed up the scaf-
fold-ladder by main force ; and when all the con-
demned men had reached the platform, there followed a
scene which will not be soon forgotten by those who
witnessed it. Po-sang was as cool as • statue, with
his painfully drawn-up features ; but the other three
swayed about unesaily, looking behind over the wall as if
meditating escape, now noisily resisting the executioner,
and again moaning and groaning as before. Cheong-foa,
stamped and danced upon the platform, and cursed and
swore at the crowd below, until it was feared some acci-
dent might happen to the scaffold, and he had at last to
be bound round the ankles with • rope. The voioe of the
Roman catholic padre was drowned in the torrent of abuse
I from the scaffold ; and it need' hardly be said that the
exhortations of the ministers of religion seemed to have
not the slightest effect upon any one of the doomed men,
except perhaps Po-sang, who now and then during the
morning had listened to what was said to him. At five
minutes pad 6, at • signal from the sheriff, the bolt was
drawn, the fatal jerk given, and the miserable victims
were left denting in air.

the number of the spectators. Between the act• the
Maestro Pacini appeared on the stage and thanked the
Romans for their kind reception.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

ME. DISRAELI'S STATEMENT.

The Times promises the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer to-night a charitable and even an indulgent au-
dience. No one of any importance in the House of Com-
mons has criticised the resolutions be has laid upon the
table ; the scattered attempts to excite agitation in the
country have signally failed. At the same time there is
no doubt as to what is the judgment of parliament and
the country upon the resolutions. They must be amended,
and boldly amended, or withdrawn. Before he asks the
house to accept his first resolution he must state the
exact extent of the enfranchisement he proposes, and this
the Times hopes will be of no grudging character.
The Times then proceeds to urge the abandonment of the
principle of a plurality, and to recommend that of allowing
a voter to accumulate the votes at his disposal upon one
candidate, or to distribute them at pleasure. This, it
thinks, will render it impossible to bribe with effect in
any place returning two or more members.

Tie Daily persassures Mr. Disraeli that if he really
mesas business, he may reckon on the en-operation of the
oppositon as confidently as upon that of his own followers.
But if he should attempt this evening further evasion, or
offer proposals which do not advance the object of reform,
the duty of the opposition will be clear. Variety of suffrage
may be accepted, but equality of suffrage must be insisted
on. Mr. Disraeli must keep in mind that a bill which is
not tolerably eatisfactory to the liberal party, and ►t least
endurable bythatactivepartion of it from which thedemand
for reform chiefly springs, will not really settle the question.
There is enmity reason to expect, but it is still possible to
hope, that be will be wisely bold. If the truest liberalism
is sometimes conservative, the truce! conservatism at a
moment like the present will be found in the largest libe-
rality.

The Herald and Standard confine themselves to a gene.
ral defence of the policy which the government have
pursued.
The Poet fervently trusts Mr. Disraeli will see that
not only is the country obnoxiously agitated, bet that
the longer a st►te of indecision on this now vital question
is allowed to reign, the more certainty is the popular mind
taking a tendency towards extremes. If Mr. Dirraeli is
to do the work, he must not be too dainty.

THE JAMAICA PROSECUTIONS.

COMNTTEAL Or COLONEL NELSON AND LLZOTTAA2I7 MUM.
After our report left Bow-etreet on Saturday,
Mr. Bristow., for Lieutenant Brand, said that the charge
of wilful murder was futile, became be was a subordinate
officer, and had he refused to sit on the court-martial be
himself would have been brought before a similar tribunal
and found guilty, when be certainly would be liable to
death. To say that be had malice aforethought against
Gordon was absurd, because he bad nothing to do with the
carrying out of the sentence of the court. His function
altogether ceased when the evidence and finding was given
into the hands of the superior officer.

Sir Thomas Henry—The very able and elaborate argu-
manta which have been addressed to me on both sides
abundantly prove that there are many doubtful caeca of
law and disputed
.questions of fact in this case. It is
clearly not the preemies of a magistrate to determine such
questions, but to put them in train for further inquiry.
As the next sessions will commence on Monday (this day),
it would clearly be premature to send the case to that
113481011. I shall therefore bind the defendants over in the
same bail as before to appear at the session, commencing
on the bth of April. I purposely abstain from expressing
any opinions in the case.
The witnesses were then bound over, and the defendants
liberated on bail.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Ph. 23.

Herr von Frankenberg-Ludwigsdorf, President,
by seniority, of the North German Parliament, has
invited the members of the parliament to be pre-
sent at the first full sitting, which will be held on
Monday next. The order of the day will relate to
the constitution of the assembly and its division
into committees. Moat of the plenipotentiaries
from the North German States have arrived here,
and have been received by the King. The
different fractions of the parliament are hold-
' ing preliminary conferences. The King has
given an audience to the leaders of the moderate
conservative party, the Dukes Ujeat and Ratibar.
Baron von Rothschilde, the member for Frankfort-
' on-the- Maine,has been recei vedby Herr von Savigny.
The King has appointed as commissioners to be
present at the sittings of the North German Par-
liament Counts von Enlenberg and von Itzenplitz,
and Herren von der Heydt, von Roon, and von
Savigny. This commission will be under the pre-
sidency of Count von Bismarck, and will act in
concert with the representatives of the other)
governments of the Confederation. Baron von I
Werthem has gone to Munich as Prussian minister
at the Bavarian court. Baron von Rosenberg will
go in a similar capacity to Stuttgardt. The New
Prussian Cross Gazette of this evening, in contra-

THE POLICE COURTS.

SOUTHWARK.

Thomas Glorer, 45, a hawker, was finally examined,
charged with attempting to murder Henry Wheelwright,
by cutting his throat, inKent-street, I` h.
The prosecutor, a young man of 20, whose neck was
strapped and bandaged up, said he was a haddock smoker,
and resided in Long-lane, Bermondaey. About half-past
eleven on the night of the 13th instant he was passing down
Kent-street, when he saw the prisoner sharpening • knife
on the kerb-stone. He beard him say he would cut his
(prosecutor's) throat, and soon after he bad passed the
prisoner ran after him and attacked him with the knife and
cut his throat. He was taken to the hospital, where his
wound was dressed. He saw no disturbance at the time,
and saw no one attempting to injure the prisoner. This
statement was confirmed by • lad who was with the prose-
cutor, and who called out for assistance.

Henry Archer, a costermonger, who was passing at the
time, heard cries of " Murder," and ran after the prisoner,
and after taking the knife away from him detained him
until the police came up.
The prisoner said he was first attacked at a beer-house,
and was afterwards surrounded by a mob of ruffians who
robbed him. He was so ill-treated that he used the knife
in self-defence. He believed that prosecutor and his wit-
ness were the ringleaders of the party who robbed him.
The constable who took the prisoner into custody said
there had been no disturbance in that part of Kent-street
prior to his coming up, neither did he hear of any one
being attacked and robbed.
Committed for trial.

CRYSTAL PALACE PALACE CONCERTS.

The concert of Saturday last was rendered
especially interesting by Madame fichumann's magnificent
performance of the greatest of all pianoforte concertos—
Beethoven's in E flat, generally known as the " Emperor,"
a title bestowed in comparatively recent times as signifi-
cant of supremacy, in the same way that Mozart's great
symphony with the fugue has long received the prefix of
" Jupiter." To Madame Sehumann's transcendent merits
as a pianist, uniting executive with intellectual and
poetical power, we have several times borne testimony
since her re-►ppearance in London a few weeks
since ; and we need now therefore only reiterate our
opinion that there is scarcely any living pianoforte player
who so nearly approaches Mendel/Bohn in that subtle ap-
preciation of the spirit and intention of the greatest of all
pianoforte music—thatof Beethoven—andthatsyropathetia
warmth of imagination which gives to the performance of
a written piece of music somewhat of the spontaneous
charm and impulse of an improvisation. Madame Schu-
mann's performance on Saturday fully bore out our present
and former eulogies, and produced an effect which a mere
executive display unshed to intellectual foroe could
scarcely achieve with an audience so accustomed to high
musical art as the visitors to the Crystal Palace concerts.

TRZ OPINING OP TRZ GERMAN PARLIAMENT.

That it is to a great German empire and not to an en-
larged German monarchy, King William, or at least, him
prime minister, Bismarck, aspires, the Times pees
tinctly in every line of the royal address. The King makes
no mystery of his ultimate hopes and expectations. He
aims at the eventual control of the national relations be-
tween the North German Confederacy and the four minor
states lying to the south of the Maine. The article, of
the treaty of Vienna are no hindrance to a future
connection between all the lands and peoples of the great
Fatherland ; the only condition is that such a reunion
should spring from the spontaneous wish of both parties.
♦ reconstitution of the general Bund is equally necessary
to all its former members. The restoration of the Customs'
League, the re-establishment of commercial union, and
the protection of the common territory must needs
rest on some intimate political combination. Let
only the basis of the North German Confederacy
be laid, and it will then he easy to come to
such treaties with the South as may present the
whole country se a compact state to foreign nations.
It is easy to perceive that Count Bismarck continues faith-
ful to that policy of " candour " which constitutes its
most consummate adroitness. His aim is to unite Ger-
many. To this object he makes everything subservient.
He is tied to no plan ; a slave to no system ; burdened
with no scruple or principle. He has taken good care, in
the meanwhile, to secure a North•Geroman Parliament in
perfect conformity with his wishes. As a permanent
arrangement the Bismarck regime would be intolerable ;
but what he is now erecting is not the definitive German
edifice. The North German Confederacy is not what pro-
fessore would call the Fatherland; but it is nearer to the
realisation of the "dream of centuries" than anything it
had hitherto been found practicable to attain.

TEE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1887.

George's., said that the prisoner's wits sad four children
became chargeable to the pArish two years ago. A warrant
was applied for hie apprehemdon stilts time, but he could
not be fouls&

The defendant said that he had never deserted his wife
and family as he had forwarded her 7s. 6d. a week as
long as he was able. He was at present only an extra
hand at the theatre, earning only 4s. a day when at work.
The magistrate told him that it appeared he was able to
support another woman whom he had inveigled from her
home.

The prisoner said that she left of her own accord, and
he went in search of employment.
The magistrate told hun he was a heartless fellow leav-
ing his wife and four young children unprovided for to live
with another woman. He regretted very much that he
was not charged with deserting them, but there seemed to
be some legal difficulty in that. In that case he should
have been enabled to sentence him to three months' bard
labour, a most iirsclequate punishment for such a heartless
crime. In the present instance he was only able to inflict
a month's hard labour, a still less adequate punishment.
He only wished he bad the power to sentence him to
imprisonment for six months instead of one, which he now
sentenced him to.

WANDSWORTH.
DANGEROUS FREAK.
Fradria Burke, a tall, rough-looking Irishman, was
plaoed in the dock before Mr. Selfe on a charge of being
drunk, and discharging a pistol in the thoroughfare.
Alfred Cochell, a labourer, said, yesterday afternoon,
between 1 and 2 o'clock, he saw the prisoner, who had a
pistol in his hand, go into the Adelaide public-house.
Wandawm-th-lane, and asked to be served with some
beer. He was drunk, and he was refused to
be served. He went outride, and threatened to
beat the windows in. He next went down the road,
and as the magistrate was opposite to him under the rail-
way arch he fired off the pistol. He walked up the hill,
when witness and several other persons rushed upon him
and took the pistol from him.
Mr. Leigh, the clerk, informed the magistrate that it
happened just after Mr. Ingham had left the court, and at
first it was understood that the prisoner had fired at him.
He (Mr. Leigh) afterwards saw Mr. /inhere, who told him
that the prisoner did not fire at him.
The prisoner said he bad been employed in shooting at
birds in the wheat. He took a little drop too much.
Police-constable Cole, one of the officers of the court,
said he was sent to apprehend the prisoner. He found a
flask and some caps upon him. He had not any shots
about him.

Mr. Belle inquired whether anything was known of the

Sergeant Dudley said the prisoner wri well known in
the neighbourhood, and was a quiet, harmless fellow.
Mr. Selfe fined the prisoner 10s., and In default ordered
him to be imprisoned for 7 days.
The prisoner was locked up in default.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(710)1 001 OWN

PARIS, MoaDAT Evszasa.

The Temps and other opposition journals have
received a communique, which I cannot but admit
to be well founded, on the subject of certain ex-
pressions attributed to the prefect of the Cotes du
Nord in his proclamation exhorting the electors not
to chose M. Glais Bizoin for a councillor-general.

A garbled quotation from the prefect's address re-
presented him as telling the electors in a threaten-
ing tone,that if they voted for M. Mai' Bizoin the
governniefirt by way of reprisal would withdraw all
state subventions in aid of the churches, schools,
canals, and railways of the department. It is
plain from the text that the prefect merely spoke
argumentatively,and endeavoured to impress upon
the electors that if the reductions of taxation
which M. Glais Bizoin had called for were to be
made, the state could not afford to give the
expected aid to local improvements. Given the
system of government candidateshipe, that was a
very legitimate line of argument, instead of being
gross and abominable intimidation. The prefects,
as professional enemies of liberty, have sins enough
to answer for, and the liberal journals injure the
cause they advocate by dishonest quotations such
as the one now officially censured.

The examination of witnesses in the Fontaine-
bleau murder case is still going on. A telegram from
Melun, dated this afternoon, states that the owner
of the Chateau de Creveoceur, in Normandy, de-
posed that as much as 7,000 fr. were spent in
searching for treasure indicated by the prisoner.
Nothing was found but a poniard and an old
padlock. One witness stated that the prisoner had
poisoned wine in her possession, and was addicted
to the use of fire-arms.

It may already be collected from the imperfect
cross-examination allowed by French law that M.
Lschaud's line of defence will be the impossibility
of a strong woman being strangled by a small and
weak woman without a struggle ; the absence of
anything like poison or even narcotic drugs in the
stomach ; the medical evidence that the narcotics
which the prisoner was suspected of knowing the
use of from books found in her possession, would
have been easily discovered had they been adminis-
tered, and, in short, the absence of any ma-
terial evidence that the prisoner committed the
crime. The forgeries M. Lachaud has clearly
made up his mind to admit.
A pamphlet, published at Florence, entitled
" Napoleon 111. and the Ghost of Maximilian,"
has been seized by the Italian authorities.
An advertisement states that a correspondence
of Maximilian will be shortly published in Paris.
The Gazette de France drily remarks that if this
book is really to come out in Paris it is not likely
to contain the most interesting letters.
The Bourse was extremely firm, owing, it is
supposed, to a rumour that on August 16, M.
Rouher will make some highly theatrical financial
announcement. Rents rose 45c. for cash and 32ic.
for account, dosing at 69fr. 85c. and 69fr. 75c.
