CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL.

Lori J. MANNERS asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer on what day he proposed to take the second
reading of this hill!
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he pro-
posed to fix the second reading for the 30th of May.
THE TERMINATION OF THE RECIPROCITY
TREATY.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hiving
moved that the house at its rising adjourn till Thursday

London, England, 1866-05-19

THE RECIPROCITY TRE tTY WITT( CANADA.

The Pat observes that last night's discussion in the
House of Commons makes it very clear that whoever may
be to blame for the non-revival of the reciprocity treaty,
the fault at all events is not attributable to us. Mr,
Oliphant is probably correct in supposing that ere long it
must be renewed, and that the people of the United
States will be themselves the first to propose such a
course. The direct consequences of its suspension will
fall much more heavily on the Americans than on the
Canadkuis, and possessing, as the latter do, the command
of the St. Lawrence, they might easily bring such a degree
of pressure to bear on the former as would speedily compel
them to conclude some such treaty as that which has just
expired. It is nut, however, necessary that the colonists
should seek to precipitate an event which cannot be long
pistpenetL
On every ground at present relevant the Star says the
renewal of the treaty is to bo desired. Its restoration
would be an assurance and type of common amity and com-
mon interests, and the results would not be less beneficial
in reference to international harmony Mum with regard to
American and Canadian commerce. In this light the sub-
ject ought to be considered on both sides of the Atlantic,
and while it is easy for Englishmen now to say that nothing
ought to divide the two nations, we trust it will not long
be difficult for Americans to concur in that opinion to the
fullest extent.

VENETIA.

VENICE, Max 20.
General Toggenburg, Lieutenant-General of
Venetia, has issued the following proclamation :
Coincident with the formation of armed volunteer corps
in the frontier states of Italy, the intrigues of the revolu-
tionary party to seduce the young men have actively recom-
menced, and even within this Imperial jurisdiction we
witness audacious efforts to enlist persons belonging to the
Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The indulgent manner in
which those found guilty of desertion into foreign territory
have hithertobeen dealt with might now induce afatal slack-
ness of discipline. Since, therefore, the necessary increased
vigilance has been ordered to be observed upon the
frontier, I am also bound to state expressly that
under present circumstances the cases of desertion
with the object of enlistment in armed bodies,
as well as any aid or promotion afforded to
the same, will be treated as a criminal act under the pro-
visions of Articles 321 and 327 of the military penal
code, conjointly with Article 67 of the general penal
code, and will therefore be tried before military
tribunals according to the rigour of martial law.
I trust that the grave tenour of this warning will not fail
to command the most serious attention. A feeling of
duty should induce fathers of families and other persons
responsible for the conduct of youth, as well as the heads
of communes and the very reverend curds, in their
respective spheres, to firmly counteract, with all those
within their influence, the intrigues and instigations preg-
nant with so many perils to those who are misled by them.

jesty in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom,

LONDON, SA TURDA Y, MAY 26,

THE upholders of that effete and moribund
institution the British Prize-ring have had one of
their most cherished superstitions severely shat-
tered. The one redeeming quality which some
simple-minded folk have held to condone the
wretched surroundings, the brutality, blackguard-
ism, and ohicenity which are the recognised attri-
butes of professional pugilism, has been the
animal courage it was supposed to foster, and the
rude rough sense of honour it was said to instil.
Underlying an affected horror at the scenes at the
ring-aide have been scarcely hidden congratulations
on the courage and endurance displayed by the
men fighting ; and astute writers who regard
thought as an implement of trade have not been
slow to benefit by the national weakness. Ac-
cordingly, we have had cunningly-drawn
pictures, in which sorry, sordid ruffians have
been invested with the attributes of heroes ;
idylls of the fist, in which the blackening of eyes
and the bruising of bodies have been put forth in
stately language, and with carefully measured
praise ; and solemn warnings from our public in-
structors that the Prize-ring merits protection as

/TEETH and PAINLESS DENTISTRY. The
1 fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter
very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital impor-
tance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a
practice founded In 1830, and now extending over greater part of
the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, en-
abling us to offer even the most sensitive sufferer a system of
dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite
pertaining only to our practice, and for which her Majesty bas
granted her royal letters patent. The system embraces the non-
interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting
instead of extraction of loose teeth until they become firm and
useful in mastication, and the utter absence of all and every
operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied with-
out tear of pain or Inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper,
more durable, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation free. Teeth from 55., sets from five to 35 guineas,
warranted. For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Joseph) II 'diem, a man of respectable appearance, aged
38 years, and described in the charge-sheet as residing in
Ilectory-road, Stoke Newington, was brought up in custody
of detective officer Hancock, and charged before Mr. Al-
derman Bailey with embezzling divers sums of money re-
ceived by him for and on account of Messrs. Lawrence and
Co., his masters and employers.
Mr. Wontner, sen., appeared on the part of the prosecu-
tion, and stated that the prosecutors were wholesale ware-
housemen, carrying on their business at No.los,Cheapeide,
and the prisoner bad been in their service for about four
years as cashier, collector, and book-keeper, and in that
capacity it was his duty to receive all moneys paid to the
firm, and these transactions he had to record in the cash-
book and ledger, which were especially under his care and
control. All went on well and apparently regular until a
few days ago, when one of the junior partners of the firm
(Mr. Edward Brown Taylor), obeeived in the ledger an
entry of a purchase of goods amounting to 801. 18s., by the
house of Messrs. Baggaley, under the date of the 24th
May last. On referring to the cash book Mr. Taylor found
I no entry. of a payment by Messrs. Baggaley, but there were
the entries of twelve small sums purporting to have been
received from different customers, which items amounted
in the aggregate to the precise sum of 801. 18s. On this
discovery Mr. Taylor spoke to the prisoner, who insisted
that the goods to the amount stated had been sold
to Messrs. Baggaley, and they had paid the
amount in a cheque which they gave up. By
this falsification of the accounts by the prisoner
he had contrived most adroitly to embezzle and apply to
his own purposes no less a sum (on his own showing)
than 1,2721. 18s. 10d., and the invest;gation of the books
was still proceeding. Such was the present position of the
affair, and after giving formal evidence to justify it, he
should ask for a remand. _ _ _

Mr. Edward B. Taylor was then called and sworn, and
Faye formal proof of the fasts enunciated by Mr. Wontner
in his opening statement, and further proof was given of
the payment to the prisoner of the SUM of 61. 13a., which
he had not properly accounted for.
The prisoner, who appeared to feel most acutely the
position in which he was placed, declined to say anything
►t present in his defence or in reply to the charge, and

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY, JULY 13.

Their lordships met at five o'clock.
UNY'Re FACTORY LABOURIERS.
The Earl of BFIAFTESBURY wished to ask the First
Lard of the Treasury a question of which he had given
Id= notice. It was whether there was any intention on
the part of the government of bringing in a bill for the
purpose of placing certain trades and occupations now
=protected under the operation of the Factory Act.
The Fart of DERBY fully admitted the importance of
the subject. Immediately on receiving the communication
of his noble friend he had sent to the Home-office to in-
quire, and had learned that there was a bill there in pre-
paration, but in so imperfect a state as to render it impos-
sible to bring it forward dun the present session ; the
esibject, however, fully ei the attention of his right
bon. friend the Secretary or the Home Deportment, who
fully felt its importance, but who believed that maa harm
then good would be done by dealing with the question in
a mapiiste manner. The subject should be most care-
fully considered during the approaching recess, and he
mould may for himself and his colleagues that the success of
fernier measures for the curtailment of the hours of labour
would stimulate them to attempt further humane legisla-
tion in the same direction.

THE WAR.

The apprehensions of the Times of an aimed mediation
on the part of France are greatly abated. It begins to be
tolerably dear that Austria will bow to necessity. me
cession of Venice, it was too hastily concluded, would take
one of Austria's enemies off her hands. But the Italians,
with a chivalrous regard for their promise for which they
deserve the highest credit, refused to be seduced even by
so noble a bribe, and have not only engaged the attention
of a part of the Austrian army about the Quadrilateral,
but even threaten to follow it in its retreat across the
Alps, and to stretch out a band to the Prussians under the
walls of Vienna. Prussia expresses no wish to destroy the
position of Austria as a great European power. Her de-
termination is to attain individual control over Germany,
and to bring all the military and diplomatic power of the
German nation into her hands. This would, no doubt,
place enormous forces at her disposal, and would make her
a formidable neighbour to anyone who might provoke her
displeasure. But the formation of a great nationality be-
tween the Rhine and the Vistula, as well as of another
between the Alps and the Mediterranean, would not only
be no calamity, but it would be an inestimable blessing for
Europe, and a security for the preservation of the public
peace.

The Herald panes some severe criticisms on Marshal
Benedek's plan of the campaign. He is not the first of
whom it has been written that all would have thought
him worthy of command had he not commanded. It is a
fortunate circumstance for Austria that the Archduke
Albrecht should have been appointed generalissimo, for it
is • notorious fact that all troops, in nine cases out of ten,
fight better under • royal commander than anyone else.
The Telegraph expects the pause of the last fortnight
will be succeeded by violent and continuous action, until
from the ravines of the Tyrol to the lagunes of Venice the
whole province will be swept by the tempest of war.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

Looking to the obvious determination of the
Prussians, the danger of consolidating Germany by rousing
the national hatred of the foreigner, and the awe felt by
the French soldiery of the breech-loader—an awe which
the Monitear de l'Artnee vainly endeavours to dissipate—
it is not, the Spectator thinks, probable that the Emperor
of the French will strike in at once. He will, if Prussia is

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Margaret Murphy, 2:1, a miserable looking creature,
with a baby in her arms, who had pleaded guilty to a'
charge of throwing a quantity of vitriol upon a man
named Maurice Murphy, with intent to disfigure him, and
do him grievous bodily harin,was brought up for judgment.
The circumstances of this case, it will be remembered,
were of a very painful nature. The prisoner seemed to
have been seduced by the prosecutor, who deserted her,
leaving her with a child entirely unprovided for.
Goaded by the wrongs she hail received it appeared that
the wretched prisoner laid in wait for the prosecutor,
and threw a quantity of vitriol over him, but fortunately
without inflicting any material injury.
The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that the prisoner
had, very likely, sustained a good deal of wrong at the
bands of the prosecutor, but it was no justification for the
act she had committed. She appeared to have laid in wait
for the prosecutor, and to have deliberately thrown a
quantity of vitriol over him, and she might have injured
him for the Test of his life. It was a very serious offence,
and the least punishment he could inflict upon her was to
sentence her to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

THE ETON AND HARROW CRICKET MATCH.
(THIS DAY.)

The above match was resumed this morning at
11 o'clock, at Lord's Ground, in the presence of an aris-
tocratic gathering, exceeding in numbers even that of yes-
terday. The devices of the ladies in the display of the
colours belonging to their favourite party were in many
instances very pretty, and many were of • novel character.
In some cues the hair was dressed with the dark blue
ribbon, in others the chosen colour was worked in the
skirts of the dregs, and there was scarcely a sun-
shade present without • rosette or dreamers Of
the light or dark blue attached. The proceedings
commenced with the completion of the Eton first innings,
the result of which being an addition of 32 runs to the
20 gained yesterday—making a total of 52 against 302,
were obtained by the Harrow boys. The Eton Eleven
then commenced their second innings. At half-past 12
they secured 75 rune with six wickets down, and
were progressing in a satisfactory meaner. The excitement
on the ground was very great, and as the several points
were made loud cheering followed from the Eton party ;
but the Harrovian, have every confidence in their
eleven—in whose favour the betting is firm.

There is im life in any branch of the metal trade. Money
continues too dear for speculators. and crinsamers only
buy for their most pressing wants. The reposed armistice
between Austria and Prussia and Italy u mot anxiously
looked fur, and would stimulate business it actually ac-
cepted. Iron.—The reports from Staffordshire and Wales
as to trade are very dull, and many establishments
only work half time. Prices tend in buyer' favour.
Scotch pig iron has declined to 525. fel. cash.
Copper. —Anhongh the market is a shade limiter, there in
very little business doing either in English or foreign, and
there il such a difference between buying and selling
prices that quotations are quite nominal. • Tin.—The
position of the market remains unaltered. Straits has

CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.

About half-past 10 o'clock on Thursday evening,
a woman, named Mary Shaw, aged 42,anurse in the found-
ling ward of the Brownlow-hill Workhouse, Liverpool,
was suddenly taken ill, and Mr. M'Cloy, the house
surgeon on duty, who at once visited her, pronounced
her to be suffering from cholera. She was removed to
the cholera ward of the Fever Hospital. Before 11
o'clock four other cases occurred in the same ward.
George Thompson, a child of two years ; Elizabeth
Sullivan, two years; George Harrison, twelve months ; and
Eleanor Lewis, twelve months, being seized in the same
way. They were also taken to the cholera ward, having
all the symptoms of Asiatic cholera, it is said, about them.
The child Harrison died three hours afterwards ; and the
nurse, Mary Shaw, died at half-past 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. Sullivan and Thompson were in a hopeless con-
dition last evening, and the fourth child was not likely to
recover. All the patients were perfectly well up to the time
of Shaw's seizure ; and no explanation can be given of the
occurrence. Soule weeks ago, when the German emi-
grants stricken with cholera, were in the hospital, a nurse
told a child in the foundling department were seized, and
the nurse died. On Thursday afternoon, a child named
Catherine Gordon, five years old, was admitted from
Burlington-street, and she died the sante night. This
was a malignant case of cholera ; hut there was no com-
munication whatever between the ward where Gordon was
placed and the building in which the woman Shaw and
the four foundlings were, which was quite at the opposite
end of the workhouse. Although there were many other
children in the foundling ward, none of them were
affected ; and it is singular that the four who were seized
had been under the special charge of Shaw, and
that Harrison, who died first, had slept with her.
Yesterday the foundling ward was cleared ont, all the
bedding, kc., being burnt and the initiates were removed
to other parts of the establishment. The drains were
flushed, and all possible sanitary measures taken ; and it
is understood that a conference between the Cholera Sub-
committee of the Select Vestry, the mayor, the medical
officer of health, and other authorities resulted in an
application to the Privy Council for special powers.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, FRIDAY BVII4ING.

The news which I sent you yesterday, probably
exclusively, and entirely from a private source,
that the Emperor would not go to Nancyto-morrow,
is confirmed by several of the evening papers. In
the present state of European affairs his Majesty
cannot leave the Tuileries telegraph office. It is
said, however, that not wholly to disappoint the
Nancy people, the Empress and the Prince Im-
perial will go there by themselves. The Patric
says it is possible that even at the last moment
the Emperor may decide to accompany them.
Not only was a brother of Prince de Metternich,
the Austrian ambassador in Paris, seriously
wounded at Sadowa, as already stated, but Count
Liondsi Sandor, a brother of the Princess de Met-
ternich, was killed. The Metternich" are ex-
tremely popular in the highest Parisian society,
ani condolence with them on the double family
calamity which has fallen upon them is very ge-
neral.

The Erentment contradicts the statement that
both sons of Baron de Seebach, Saxon minister at
Paris, bad escaped unhurt in the terrible en_
counter at Sadowa. The elder, only 21 years of
age, who fought in the Austrian ranks, was killed
while bravely leading on his men.
A Venetian fete is to be given at the Pompeian
Villa (late Prince Napoleon's) on the evening of
July 19, to which ladies may go if they like in
masks and dominoes.

The Bourse was not so good in consequence of
the want of confirmation of the rumours of yester-
day touching the armistice. It is still, however,
asserted that Prussia is disposed to make conces-
sions, and that the difficulty now rather lies with
Austria. Bento fell 615 c.

IMPERIAL CHARITY.

At s special meeting of the committee of cha
ratable eshibliahments at Lyons, convened to receive a corn-

menioation from X. Chevreau, senator, the Prefect of the
Ethane, the following letter addressed to him by the Em-
press was reed :

" Tuileries, 9th July.

" Monsieur le Senateur,—l have watched with lively
interest all the measures adopted by the members of the
committee of the charitable establishments in your
city to assist the suffering population. The establish-
ment of a lying-in hospital at Croix-Rouse, the
addition of a great number of beds at the charite,
and finally the new system of burial—a reform
which has particularly interested me—are so many evi-
dences of the intelligent and devoted seal which the com-
mittee has always evinced in the performance of its noble
task. I know that, thanks to its activity, other improve-
ments are in course of execution, but, it appears to me,
a deficiency still exists. The establishment of a building
for convalescents at Vincennes, decreed by the Fan-
peror in 1855, has shown how useful it is not to
allow those that have been ill to peas straight from an
hospital to their work. I wish to see that same
idea realised at Lyons, and, with that view, I
give in full proprietary right to the charitable in-
stitutions of that city the Chateau of Longehtme
and its dependencies, in order that it may be appro-
priated as an asylum fur convalescents. The in-
terests of the poor are too well cared for in the
hands of the authorities and of the committee for me
to make any appeal to their zeal to open this asylum with
the least possible delay. I have further to thank you for
the promptitude with which you have taken part in this
matter.

" Believe, Pdotudeur le Senstenr, in the sincerity of my
sentiments. " BL:GECUL"

The reading of this communication produoed the most
vivid impression on the committee, who aeoepted unani-
mously the gift of her Majesty, and subsequently begged
the Prefect to convey to the Empress the grateful thanks
of the poor and the sick for her noble generosity. The
committee also nominated three of its members,
M. Onofrio, its president, and MM. Lyonnet and Galline,
to proceed to Paris and present to her Majesty the resolu-
tions passed at the meeting. This design being made
known by telegraph, her Majesty graciously signified her
willingness to receive the deputation on their arrival.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER IN
BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
The election of a member for the county of
Buckinghamshire, following the soceptance of office, a+
Chancellcr of the Exchequer, by Mr. Disraeli, took place
yesterday in the Countyhall, Aylesbury. The room was
well filled ; but beyond the applause which greeted the
right hon. gentleman, there were no marked demonstra-
tions. The reelection was conducted without opposition,
nor was there a single question asked of the right hon.
candidate.

Mr. Disraeli was nominated by Mr. T. T. Drake ; the
proposition was seconded by Mr. Dauncey ; and no other
candidate being forthcoming, the High Sheriff, Mr. H. A.
Hosrc, declared the Right Hon. B. Disraeli duly elected.
Mr. DISRAELI, in returning thanks, alluded to the state
of the Continent, observing that with regard to the ;mines
now at stake and calling for solution, there was no neces
silty for the interference of this country. He knew there
were some who looked upon such a doctrine as one which
would intimate on the part of England some decline of her
former pryer and influence, but he thought they formed
this opinion under very erroneous circumstances. He
(Mr. Disraeli) took quite a different view, and
looked upon the abstention of England from
unnecessary interference in the affairs of Europe
to be the consequence, not of her decline, but of her in-
ere ised strength. She had outgrown the position of being
merely a European power, and was the metropolis of a
great maritime empire, extending to the boundaries of the
farthest ocean. He did not say that there might not
be occasions in which it was the duty of England to
interfere. If the country were menaced, as on pre-
vious occasions it had been, England would not rest until
the cause of the danger and disturbance was terminated.
But no one, whatever his politics, could entertain the
idea that she was menaced at this moment. It was im-
poseible to watch the proceedings on the Continent with-
out great interest, but it was clearly the best course to
allow those great nations and powerful states hem.-
diately interested in the war to go on with it themselves,
and when an occasion offered the influence of England
might be thrown into the scale to settle the matter
in a peaceful manner. Our relations with our allies,
though they might not agree among themselves,
were never more friendly or confidential than
at the present moment, and he hoped the time
would soon arrive when a aongrea of the
cent powers would be called together. Mr. Disraeli this
