It will be seen from the above that the pro-
portion of working men differs considerably in
many of the borough constituencies. At Green-
wich they are more than half the whole number ;
at Northampton j net one IRMO than half at tbe whole.
In Lambeth the proportion is rather more than one
to three : in Manchester it is slightly lower : in
Nottingham is about one to two-and-half. Shci-1
Seld nearly one to four. Birmingham has about
20 par oent., Bolton 21, Ashton 19, Wigan 23,
Sheffield 26, Newcastle 23, Leicester 40, Lancaster
46, and Salford about 34 per cent, of its electors
among the working Gleams. Bradford has only one
voter in eleven a working man. It will be noticed
that Mr. Bright and Mr. Forster, who pus for
the two most radical members in the Rouse of
Commons, re resent constituencies which have a
small proportion of working men.

UNIVERSITY EDUOATION IN IRELAND.

On Saturday a deputation from the graduates
of the Queen's University, in Ireland, was received by
Earl Bared at bit official dike in Downing-eked. The
object of the deputation was to protest against any change
in the university system. It was composed of Mr. Ran,
M.A., Mr. Huitiman, LLB., Mr. Sinclair. LA, Mr. Bane,
M.A., Mr. Wilson, M.A., Mr. Coalmine, M.A., Mr. Mee-
earmark, M.D., the Bev. Todd Martin, M.A., Mr. More.
head, M.A., Mr. Black, ILD., Mr. Breakey, ILD.,
Johnson, M.A., mi. wines., M.D., Mr. Hunter, M.A..
Mr. Dalin, LL.B., Mr. Henry, ILA., Mr. Latham, M.D.,
Mr. Ward, 8.A., and wee brought together from widely
distant localities in Ireland and leglenh Two members
of the deputation were Roma ealloolka.
Earl Runents, mid—This is not a viridian respecting the
National Board of Education. Whatever may be said epee
that subject, it is not the subject% on whioh you have come,
nor is it the subject on which I with to speak. The
question is with regard to the higher kinds of educe,
tion to be given in colleges and universities. With
regard to that, I may my that there has been much =lisp-
preheradoe MR was 'apposed that a body exclusively com-
posed of Raman catholic ecolesiaotioo was to have a charter
for their university and were to be entitled to give degrees
in virtue of that chatter. That has never been in the eon-
templation of the government, and I never heard that so
member of the government suggested that that abseil be
done. The qmstioo, se it seam to no, is one of cashier-
able importune in point of principle, but of ras
very great importance in point of practical effect. The
fact is that milli regard to England there is the University
College in London, where there is no religions instruction
given where all sects are on an equal footing, where very
good inotnetioe is given in science sad literature,, and
where those who revolve that instrostioo, if found to be
properly quailed, obtain degrees. But there are also in
England the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, where
the chief peewee employed in education, by 004 means or
other, give religious instruction In the doctrines of the
church of Mislead. Built never menned to any game.

see of this notmtry to my that this should disqualify
young men from obtaining degrees Wen—that University
College in London was open to all, and those
who were instructed In the de/Wines of the church
of England should be disqualified from obtaining degrees.
In Scotland, again, there are four universities, at any one
of whirl • young man can obtain instruction is the dostrioes
of the church of Boatload, and upon obtaining that, if he
wish*s to qualify in inedkine, Wen" or as XL, it is no
disqualification to hint that he was instructed in any one of
the Scotch univerwities in the doctrine/ and principles of
the church of Soothed. In Ireland the case is different.
There is Trinity College, Dublin, in which religious indruo.
thou and fellowships were waned to members of the church
of England. Then there b Yager Dallas*, in Leadonderry,
la which the instrualca is oonfined to Presbyterians. Bat
suppose • young man were to be told by his
numts that be, being • Roman catholic, should',
be instrueted in a Raman catholic college where, besides*
lestrnotiou in "ocular knowledge and misuse, he would!
likewise obtain instructing' la 11160 faith and dad/rime of the.
Roman 0114/0110 church ; and if he were that to, go to the.
Queen's Univendty, and were there to be told, ' You have
bosh Wooded in • Roman catholic college where you bay.
learned the doctrines of the Roman a/abatis church, and
not la the Queen's Colleges, and therefore you are disquali-
fied from obtaining • degree in mediates, Wanes, or as
that Y.A.
," I coefees that to me an inequality with re-
=lreland as Roman catholic, compared with!
end and as respects the Roman catholic;
aura as compared th the churches of &lewd and of
Scotland. I coshes it appears to me that to "squirt a
young man se educated in Ireland to go to the"
Unite/shy of London in order to obtain one of,
these degrees, is not that met of fairness and;
equality which ought to be observed. I quite agree that if
yon have to name the members of • senate or of a board
education, a man should not be chosen solely on wool
of his religious faith, but I do sot think it should be a dis-
qualification that he helms to the Boman catholic any
more thaa to the established church, or the presbyterial
church. It appears to me that fair equality would require
that those who go to • Roman catholic collage in Dahlia
should have the means of obtaining degrees in Dublin.'
By the Ain of 18419, Roma catholic* were admitted to
manZy olden, and although to a person seeking for office in
the or under the Board of Customs, it would bat
no qualification to say, "I am, by the Act of 1839, a Roman'
catholla" it would, °nth* other head, be • revivingof the old
exaluzion, a reviving oil the principle of . ' la if you
ware to say to any man, "You shall not be admitted
became you are • Roman catholic." Suppose I said, for
instance, to Yr. lionaell, the VioaFrasidwt of the Board
of Trade, "Yon are qualified in every other respset, but.
hawse you faith is that of • Boman *Whelk' you asanoti
be Viespeat of the Board oi Trade; that it a ariaelple,
of exclusion and disability which appear, to me is be in-
coodetsat with religions liberty, and a principle which I
cannot admit. lam aware of the &arse which yea point
out, and not without mama but you may rely upon it that
the govesament wish to act on the priaciple of religious
liberty and not of religious excludes, and will take care to
guard,
in any measure which they may propose on this
subject, the Fri/Woks of religion' liberty. It has •
been said that the Wades of the Queen's Uaiverrity'
cannot be taken away without the consent of the Senate;,
but they may be mutant to accept a aew charter, or it,
would be competent to the government to found a newt
uelvendty altogether. Bat whatever may be dose, I oer-;
taiwly thbk that to found a university with power to give;
degrees to every member of the church of England and MI,
every disesnter who may be qualified, but not to Roman•
catholic, who wish to be instructed in their own faith and
&militias, is not a fair sad just principle on which to
establish it. 4
Yr. Conner said that the deputation did sot represcan
the prineipleof exclusion. They represented tha principle"
of inoliudwassa for all, and not the exciusivensse of any. 1
wop 4 Yr. Rom remarked with regard to the nnivorsitias
Oxford and Cambridge that if they were to be [waded
morrow no liberal government would foe • moment
that those exolnsiv, privileges now connected rh
established Worth should be Imposed on the English people,
and that dissenters should be subject to the &Ndvatitagesl
they now laboured under. So with regard to Ireland, if •
*hangs was to be made, a liberal government should make
that change in the direction of the abolition of pietism;
and of placieg all on a level and not in a direction which;
would have the effect of keeping a distinctions and dhow i
does which all in their hearts
The &peados than withdrew. 1

Thin was an action for a breach of promise of marriage.
Mr. Salient Hayes and Mr. Markham were for the
plaintiff ; and Mr. Dishy Seymour, Q. 0., sad Mr. Wells for
the defendant.
Mr. Serjeant Hayes said the present was es heartless •
cue as was ever brought before a court, but he woad not
magnify it, for the letters he should read to them would
nnik for themselves. The real plaintiff, Miss Annie
Thorpe. was nineteen yearn of age, and therefore might
be legally called an infant. She wee the daughter
of a reapeotable tradesman, now deceased, and re.
sided at Uppingham, Rutland. Her father was •
builder, and had a family of ten children, but unfortu-
nately he died before he could see them settled in life, and
the plaintiff accepted • situation as lady's maid in the
family of Mrs. Dixon, of Page-hall, Sheffield. Mrs. Dixon
and her daughters went to Buxton during the seam, and
were acoompanied by the plaintiff, remainfrig there about a
month. They all knew the Oreseent at Bunoe, and the
grand hotels, but one of the greatest attractions in the
town was the shop of Mr. Bright, the jeweller. The defen-
dant was Mr. Michael °Marius Bright, who was 33 or 34
years of age, the son of old Mr. Bright. No one watt to
Buxton without patronising Mr. Bright, therefore Mrs.
Dixon and family called at the shop, accompanied by the
plaintiff, and Mr. Bright's son fell in love with the young
lady, who was pommel of great persona attraction. He
proposed to her, and was accepted before the family left
Buxton. After she left Buxton defendant began corre-
sponding with her. The eorrespendenes lasted from May,
1865, to October, in the mime year, when it was brought to
• claw Such was the defendant's regard and affection for
the plaintiff that there was hardly a day but a letter—and
a long one, too—was maned by her. On the 30th Septem-
ber, he gives • mace for breaking off the oonsecgon • Ter-

in which he says, "It is no use longer to omega the whole
truth. I must tell you that some one told my brother in
Sheffield that you hid been in service in Dixon's, and there
has been the devil's own rev at home, and I ask you what can

SHOOKING OROILTY TO ♦ AWAIT.

Frederick Thomas Goma, 36, sad Amen Maria Grab,
28, were indicted for having neglected to supply Easily
Fox, their servant, with asosmary food ,• also with having
done, or amid to be dose, such bodily. berm to her that
her life had been eaden or was likely to be endan-
gered. There were six in ictments altogether, in the lad
of which the forage was charged with cruelty to
the girl, separately from bat husband. The prisoners, on
catering the dock, were narrowly observed by all in court.
They were both well dredged. 'The male prisoner is tall,
and had not the appearance of a cruel man. The female
prisoner, who was accommodated with a seat in the
dock, is little, a sharp featured woman, and she appeared
quite unweaned. Yr. Cole and Kr. Collins were engaged
for the prosecution, and Mr. Kerslake, Q,.0., and Mr.
Nooks wen for the defence. -

ifsiree called, Mr. Kerslake took ob-
jection to their being jointly charged with cruelty to the
gm], bet his lordship overruled it.
Mr. Cole, in opening the ease fee the proeseutios, said
this was one of the most painful eases it had ever been his
misfortune to lay before spay. The male prisoner was fore-
man of a large alb factory at Sherborne, and the °hareem
against him and his wife were laid under a late
statute, which eat forth that a master oe mirtrese must
provide necessary food foe their menet, and that if
they should neglect to do so, or should wilfully or
maliciously inflict on their servant bodily harm so that
the life of that servant should be or might be endangered,
such muter or mistress should be liable for misdemeanor.
The charge against the prisoners was that they had ill-
treated their servant, Emily Fox. This unfortunate girl
was poor and illegitimate, born in the workhouse at Slur-
home, and brought up there, and lived there nearly the
whole of her life, except during the period she was in the
Women' serviee. She was methadon, and, being Mufti.
mate, he did not eves know if she knew who her father wm.
In May, 1864, when she wee between 12 and 13 years of
age, the female prisoner applied at the workhouse for a
servant. It wes the custom with regard to girls of that
elm for the authorities to let them go out to Denim,
and Forams is the position of life of the prisoner* were
accustomed to go there to get grievants, se they ware oh-
tabled at a cheaper rate, their employers not Morin
to pay them at first any wages, but they were
required to clothe and teed tMm. Gumb
took the child on trial for a month, on the 24th of May.
Al that time the girl was clothed well, was in perfect
health, and was described by the workhouse authorities
as a healthy plump girl. The house where primmer*
lived was a rather lone house. In the spring of 1865
the girl returned to the workhouse, sad told of some-
thing that had secured at prisoners' house, and wanted
to be takes in. She was sent back to her service opia.
It appeared that the child had takes a few apples, her
mistress had threatened to beat:Jur severely, and she ran
to the workhouse. Beth; ordered back to Gumb's house
again, nothing more was heard of her till Ohristmea eve.
About nine o'clock that night she was brought to the
workhouse by a woman named Harrison, who, he
believed, can her part of the way there. When she
arrived there she was a complete skeleton. painless,
speechless, eold, and apparently dying. She was so
altered that the matron at first did not know her. She
was treated with the greatest kindness by the officiab.
Dr. Williams wee sent for, end he had her body rubbed,
rubbed her chest himself, and then stimulants were ad-
ministered. She was warmed and fed, and rubbed all
the night through, and than she rallied. The cue was
reported to the authorities, inquired iato, and the
soners brought before the magistrates. With to
the law of the case as affecting the female, he sh °at-
tend that they were both legally liable, and he trusted
that no legal difficulties would prevent Justine being done.
There would be considerable diffic:l4,oinweeorroborating
some of her statements bid be thought that the girl's
state when brought back to the wor would amply
confirm all that sloe said. _

After witnesses had been examined,
The learned judge, In summing up, said that with re-
spect to the male prisoner there was no doubt that the girl
was his sent, and that he was legally liable to p

borne in mind that he was actually engaged all day long
in other occupations sway from the honer, and there was
nothing to show that be knew anything of any acts of
cruelty. The girl herself so far spoke favorarably
