SIR W. M.iNSFIELD AND CAPTAIN JZRVIS.

The Twits analyses some of the most important of the
papers on the above ease, which have just been printed for
the use of the House of Commons. The most notable of
them perhaps, is a despatch in which the Duke of Cam-
bridge enters into the question as to the expediency of this
prosecution, and decides against the Indian commander-
in-chief. He deplores that the first steps should have
been of a nature so calculated to lead to opposition to
authority, and to the necessity of bringing Captain Jervis
to trial. " His royal highness," says the despatch,
" cannot help thinking that had you, in the earliest
stage of these proceedings, acted in a more conciliatory
manner towards him—and, considering the long and per-
sonal intimacy of your relations with that officer, his
royal highness is impressed with the conviction that your
aide-de-camp had Is claim to such consideration at your
hirrinuctiVfwhatjafterwards 'occurred might have
been prevented, and a great and deplorable scandal
averted." The Duke of Cambridge regrets that the com-
mander-in-chief should have.rallowed himself to be] in-
fluenced by the officers of his staff, in whose reasons for
recommending a military trial he cannot concur. But the
heaviest censure is reserved for Sir W. Mansfield's treat-
ment of the court-martial. Sir W. Mansfield not
only endeavoured to procure the reversal of the court's
judgment, but also upbraided the members with treating
an officer as they would not have treated a corporal or a
private. The public will regret, remarks the Tivms,that so
able an officer as Sir W. Mansfield should by ill-con-
sidered conduct have drawn on himself so severe a mini-
mend ; but no one will doubt that it was most richly de-
served, and that the Duke of Cambridge deserves much
credit for the ability with which he has performed a most
painful public duty.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nos ous ows CORRZSPONDIONT.)
PARIS, MONDAY Rvirapia.

The article in the Mouifeur is described by the
evening papers as particularly clear and precise,
but they doubt generally whether it will have the
effect of reassuring the public mind. " The
government seems to think," says the Gazette de
France, " that the prevalent uneasiness is

attributable mainly to false reports, circulated by
interested newsmongers. This is a mistake. The
public would not be alarmed if it did not see in
the ensemble of the situation serious grounds for
anxiety." Several other papers speak in similar
terms. It is impossible to get over this—
that if France is on such friendly terms
with her neighbours as the Moniteur asserts,
there can be no occasion to go on with the Army
Reorganisation Bill, which proposes to raise a
standing army of 1,200,000 men.
There is already semi-official confirmation of the
fact I suggested on Saturday as probable, that the
specific denial of a "note" having been lately
sent to Prussia on the Schleswig question
was based upon an equivocation on the word "note"
as distinguished from a despatch. The Patric ad-
mits to-night that "it is quite true" that M. de
Thil, who represents M. de Bismarck in his absence,
did receive the representatives of " France and
Russia a few days ago," and that at one
these interviews M. Lefovre Behaino, the French
charge d'affaires in the absence of M. Benedetti,
did " inform M. de Thil of the precise views of his
government on its becoming aware of the terms of
Denmark's last answer."

This clearly alludes to the " reading of a part of
a despatch of which no copy was left," reasserted
by the German journals in terms which render any
further denial hopeless.
The Bourse was favourably affected by the pacific
assurances of the Mouiteur, but the rise was by no
means commensurate with their importance if they
could be considered reliable. Rente rose 20c. for
cash, and 22ie. for account, closing at 68fr. 8.5 c. in
each case. Italian rose 27}c. ; Mobilier, 2fr. 50c. ;
CreditFoncier, 3fr. 750. ; and Comptoir d'Escompte,
Ur. 50c. There was very little animation.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

CHANCERY CHAMBERS.
(Before Mr. Buckley, Chief Clerk.)
OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO.
This day the adjourned application on the put of Mr.
Oppenheim for two creditors for a further of 10/. came
on before Mr. Buckley, and apared to create considerable
interest. The call would produce 1,000,0001.
Mr. Linklater asked for further time, and entered into
the report presented. The indebtedness wee 18 millions,
and reduced at the present time to 3,440,0001., whilst the
assets had been represented as exceeding 5,000,0001.
Mr. Denten (Maynard and Denton) would submit the
matter to the Vice-Chancellor, whether this was a proper
time for a call.

Mr. Danes (Ashuret and Morris) asked for the Gall to be
made. The question was whether the creditors were to
wait longer.
Mr. Gay (Mr. Dale, Fnrnival'a Inn), represented a large
depositor named Stephenson.
In this case a long discussion took place. There had
been two dividends amounting to 6s. in the pound, but
Miscall now proposed would produce another million.
The Chief Clerk said the present application was mot
important, and under all the circumstances he should
prefer the application both as to time, and also as to the
call being decided by the oourt.
The matter was appointed to be heard before the Vice.
Chancellor.

Weber's fiery and impetuoesoverture,s•srcelylets full of
impulsive genius than the preludes to his other two great
operas—Der Freysehut: and Oberon—Beethoven's pro-
found symphony, that marvellous work, of which even
the first few opening notes foreshadow the grand elevation
of the whole ; and the same composer's clear and bright
overture to the ballet of Prometheus, in his earlier style of
the Mozart school—these great orchestral pieces, which
are familiar to all musical mailers, could scarcely be other-
wise than effectually given by the excellent band which
Professor Wylde conducts, numbering upwards of eighty
instrumentalists, most of them members of the orchestra of
the Royal Italian Opera. The stands for the players are placed
in a somewhat more ascending order than usual ; the in-
tention and the result being to throw the sound more
forward into the room than would be the case if the
performers were more nearly on a level. The effect of the
orchestral playing was generally good ; wanting, however,
occasionally in a more subdued piano—which will probably
be acquired when the instrumentalists and the oonductor
become more accustomed to their new locality. Mozart's
exquisite concerto, composed by him in 1791 for his friend
Stadler, an eminent clarinet player, has been several times
performed within recent seasons by Mr. Lazarus, whose
pure vocal tone and expression, and capital execution, are
heard to the best advantage in mean which has the value
and importance of • symphonic composition rather than the
character of • piece for solo display. Each movement is
replete with beauty, the adagio being especially charming
from its intense yet graceful pathos. The whole work
teems with melody of that fresh and genial kind of which
perhaps no composer possessed such unbounded command
as Mozart. The concerto and the player were both warmly
applauded. Of Mademoiselle Mehlig's clever performance
of Mendelssohn's second concerto we have so recently
spoken in terms of praise when noticing the second concert
of the elder Philharmonic Society (March 27), that we
need only say that the praise then bestowed is equally
deserved on the present occasion. Madame Vilda gave an
intelligent and earnest reading of the scene of Spohr, and
• voluble execution of Donizetti's light cavatina—and
Mademoiselle Enequist sang Rossini's aria with brilliancy
and Mozart's with expression. The room was well filled ;
and Professor Wylde was warmly greeted on taking his
position as conductor in the new hall.

THE JAPAN ME, Sr. MARTIN'S-HALL.—These
interesting performers have returned to their old quarters
at st. Martin's-hill, and are giving a few final representa-
tions previous to their departure for the country. Yester-
day afternoon " Kosakichi," the Japanese rope-walker.
made his first appearance, and went through a series of
feats that are more like English slack-rope dancing than
the Blondin performances. The top-spinning and butterfly
tricks are still those in which the Japanese compete most
successfully with Europeans, and the odd appearance,
music, and manners of the troupe are as attractive as they
were at the first representation. _ _

THE POLICE COURTS.

Patrick Malrany, a little sunburnt Irishman, about
thirty-five years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charms with violently assaulting John Croucher, assistant
beadle of the parish of All Saints, Poplar.
The complainant said there were a great many applicants
for relief at the Poplar Workhouse the whole of Tuesday,
and there was a good deal of confusion. rioting, and ill
language among the paupers, chiefly Irish, assembled
there. The prisoner was introduced into the board-room
in his regular turn, and out-door relief was ordered for
him. He immediately threw down the written order and
demanded admission to the house. He was informed that
his request could not be complied with, and that he must
leave. The prisoner said he would not leave the
house, and raved and swore like a madman. He tried to
remove the prisoner from the building, hat was unable
to do so. The prisoner said he would break every
window and all other things within reach, and endea-
voured to seize some brushes in the Town-hall, now
used as a waiting.room. He seized him to prevent mis-
chief, and the prisoner made a violent attack upon him
several times, and attempted to bite him. It required the
united exertions of five men to secure the prisoner. It
was right he should state that the prisoner had been
relieved in the cuual ward 14 nights, and had now been
ordered outdoor relief.
The prisoner said if he had money be would retain the
services of a lawyer to escape this charge.
Mr. Paget said he should lose nothing by the want of •
lawyer. He would hear all the prisoner had to say, and
inquire into the truth of any charge he might make against
any one.
The prisoner made general charges of ill-usage, bad
treatment, and being " pulled to pieces " by officers at the
workhouse.
Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoner to two mouths' im-
prisonment and hard labour for assaulting Cloudier.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRISPONDRICT.)
PARIS, WED/MOAT EVINCING,

The Pays, M. Granier de Cassagnac's journal, the
especial organ of that war party which characterises
as a recniade any arrangement calculated to pre-
vent bloodshed or which presupposes that France
will be content not to trespass on her neighbour's
territory, sneers at the Patric—a government
journal like itself—for speaking of the apprehended
war as a " catastrophe" averted. In the view of
the Pays, it is cowardly to talk of the war, which
it desires both as a means of territorial aggrand-
isement and a blow against liberty at
home, as a catastrophe. This journal quotes
with delight the opinion of the Frew,
which struck me yesterday as worthy of citation,
that peace will not grow out of the conference. It
moreover tells its readers that the general tenor
of the telegrams bears out to a certain extent the
impression that a peaceable solution of the Luxem-
burg question is by no means certain. This is a
pregnant confirmation of my own summing up of
the news yesterday.
The France, always against any angularity,
always for compromises, and always for smooth
news, regrets that according to all the most reliable
information the conference will meet without any
distinct programme for its deliberations. It would
have been better, says the France, if the evacuation
of Luxemburg by Prussia—" a point on which
everybody is agreed "—had been admitted as a con-
dition precedent to the negotiations. In saying
this the France makes itself the echo of that false-
hood which, notwithstanding the conclusive denial
of Lord Stanley, continues to be promulgated by
the French press ; that England and all the other
powers referred to have already expressed a legal
opinion against Prussia.
Marshal Forey's apoplectic attack, which will
probably have put an end to his military career,
notwithstanding the official news that he had com-
pletely recovered, has led to the appointment of
General Ladmirault as his successor in the com-
mand of the Chalons camp. . _

M. Gamier Pages, deputy for Paris, accompanied
by MM. Herold and Dufreux, has gone to Berlin
for the purpose of assuring the Prussian people that
French liberals look with horror upon the prospect
of a war between France and Germany.
At the Bourse, the Rente, after rising to
67fr. 95c., closed heavily at 67fr. 75c. for cash, and
67fr. 77c. for account, with a rise of 10c. and 27c.
Mobilier fell llfr. 25c., and Credit Foncier 20fr.
The market, without any characteristic feature,
was the reverse of buoyant.

The Count and Countess of Flanders made their
official entrance into Brussels on Tuesday. They were
received with enthusiastic, all the public buildings being
dressed out with flags. The Communal Council and ti •
Artillery of the National Guard were stationed on the
principal square to compliment them. Troops lined the
roads on both sides, and the people cheered loudly. In
the evening the city was illuminated.

Henry Pelee, a youth about 20 years of age, was brought
up, on remand, charged with stealing a donkey, the pro-
perty of Stephen French, of Blackheath-hill, Greenwich.
A polioe-constable met the prim ner between 12 and 1
o'clock in the night time with the donkey at Deptford.
The prisoner, in answer to the magistrate, maid that in
crossing Blackheath he felt very tired, and having as far as
Brentford to walk, he took the donkey in order to ride
home. (Laughter.)
The constable who took the prisoner in charge said he
(the prisoner) was leading, not riding upon the donkey.
Mr. Maude inquired if anything was known of the pri-
soner!
Sergeant Miller, 15 T division, proved two previous con-
victions against the prisoner for felon't and
Mr. Maude committed him for trial at the Old Bailey
sessions.

THE • 1R1( NEETING IN HTDZ-PARK.

The stand ; has a somewhat ambiguous inti-
mation with regard to the proposed meeting in Hyde-park.
While it states that the announcement of the illegality
of the projected demonstration necessarily places the go-
vernment under the obligation to bring those who violate
the law to justice, it adds, after cautioning the indifferent
to beep away, that the park will be left, if the demonstra-
tion is persisted in, to the members of the Reform League,
their friends the roughs, and the agents of public security.
No one, therefore, nays the Standard, need fear that Mon-
day next will be memorable in English history for any
serious disturbances

The Telegraph considers we are in the presence of facts
which have become very serious, and which may lead to
consequences of a most deplorable kind. 111-advised and
uncalled-for ea it deems the manifesto of the government,
it trusts that, upon further reflection, the Reform League
will recognise the expediency of coming to some prompt
determination which may take the question back into the
domain of law, and avert the prospect of an alarming dis-
turbance of the public peace.
The Post considers that the government has very pro-
perly forbidden the meeting. It advises that the shops in
the great thoroughfares leading to the park be closed, and
it thinks that the men who keep them and are employed
in them might make an exceedingly impressive demonstra-
tion in the cause of order. Either as special constables, or
simply as her Majeety's subjects, they could walk into the
park and be ready to render the police the maistance that
might be required.
In the opinion of the Star, the government proclam►-
tion exhibits the length to which the ministers can go in
obstructing the free expression of opinion. The govern-
meat, having doubtless taken the opinion of the law officers
of the crown, find they cannot exclude the people from
the park. The Star presumes uo attempt will be made to
shut the gates or to club those desiring to enter, as on
late occasion when "Mayne Prefect" issued his edict to
that effect. The length to which the proclamation goes is
to admonish the people not to enter the park with a view
to attend, aid, or take part in a meeting for the purpose
of political discussion. They may enter for any other
legal purpose, and it is perfectly easy for the reformers to
make an effective demonstration without holding a formal
meeting for political discussion. Three cheers for the
Queen and reform will be quite as effective as any number
of speeches.
London, England, 1867-07-08

MR. RORBUOR AND NM CONSTIMENTII.

The Daily New finds the reason unaccountable which led
the Trades Unions' Commission to exclude Mr. Connolly
from their meetings for having traced • resemblance be-
tween the violence and irregularity of Mr. Roebuck's
speech an I the moral disorder of some of his best known
constituents. There is no man in the House of Commons
who assumes a larger license of speech than Mr. Roebuck,
and the Daily News believes there is no other member who
would think it necessary for the defence of his honour and
dignity to take notice of an unfavourable opinion expressed
of him by a stonemason. The honourable member, how-
ever, is the best judge of what his reputation requires.
The course taken by the Commission stands in need of
further explanation. If any disrespect bad been shown to
their body, or to any of its members acting a■ such, what
they have don* would have appeared perfectly natural,
but the Daily News does not understand that this is pre-
tended. It is not stated that the Trades' Conference propose
to tender another representative ; if they do, they will
doubtless take care to select one who thinks highly, not
only of Mr. Roebuck, but of every other commissioner, in
all his relation, and capacities.
The Telegraph al:garret that the condition of s jester's
popularity is th►t he should be able to take an well as to
give ; and when Mr. Roebuck calls for protection the in-
stant a Connolly calla him hard names, it can have neither
the respect that is due to courage nor the pity that is
granted to weakness. What Mr. Connolly said was not
more foolish or unscrupulous than a hundred statements
which are made constantly in parliament and in the press.
When Mr. Roebuck himself declared, on a public occasion,
that the Queen of England was dishonoured by having
shaken hands with the Emperor of the French he made a
wicked and foolish remark. But nobody ever proposed
that be should be excluded from the area of parlia-
ment. However, it is one thing vulgarly to insult a
monarch, it is another to sin against the sacred Roebuck.
The Te/egraph is not surprised a,. the dictatorial imperti-
nence which demanded the exclusion of Connolly, but is
astonished that the commissioners should have committed
the gross and monstrous injustice of submitting to it.
Connolly is the chairman of the Trade.' Conference Com-
mittee, and a man of considerable eminence in his own
trade, and the commonest prudence dictated his being
treated by the commission with ordinary fairness. It Is

Tee PRESTON TRADES' COUNCIL—The Preston
Amalgamated Trades' Council- a body representing seve-

recent disclosures at Sheffield. Several delegate. spoke
wry strongly against the conduct of several of the officers
and members of the trade societies in Sheffield, and all
expressed their abhorrence of the outrages committed, as
being contrary to all laws, human and divine, and entirely
inconsistent with the general principles of trade societies.
Afterwards the following resolution was carried unani-
mously :—" That we hereby express our entire abhorrence
of the conduct and outmode committed by the trades in
Sheffield, vedally that of the saw-grinders, and also our
disepproval of any coercion or foroe for any purpose con-
nected with trade matters, specially when the liberty of
the subject is in question, believing that our objects will
be best attained by moral suasion."

HOUSE OF LORDS.
APPEALS.

(Proms:it—The Lord CtuuKollar, Lord Craaworth, sod
Lord Coloamy.)
LoNGWOHTH (OR TZLVERTON) V. TELVERTON.

Mr. Anderson, Q.C., resumed his argument to-day
on behalf of the respondent, and sited several
authorities to show that the general case of re.
ference to the oath of a party was where the party
referring and the party referred to stood with op.
posed ieterests in the matter referred, and where no
other interest was involved. In this case there could
be no qualified reference. No reference could be made
without prejudice to the status and interests of the former
Mrs. Forbes, aid her status and interests were inseparably
united with the respondent's. Both must be bound
or both free. A reference to oath in Scot.
land always led to a flood of litigation, and
if this reference were granted, the case, after being through
several courts and occupying nine years, might in all pro.
bability be litigated for another nine years before the per.
secution of Major Yelverton terminated.
The Attorney-General followed on the same aide, and
also dwelt at considerable length upon the question
whether the rights of third parties could by any possi-
bility be affected by an appeal to the conscience of another
ply.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

After Term Nisi Prins 'Sittings at Guildhall.—(Before
the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.)
DAWSON r. THE LONDON AND aQUTH WEETEILY RAILWAY

COMPA.NY._

This was an action for damages for the non-delivery of
goods. The company admitted their liability, and had
paid 401. into court as sufficient to meet the plaintiff's
claim.

Mr. Phi?brick and Mr. T. Atkinaon were amnia' for the
plaintiff ; Mr. C. Pollock, Q.C.. and another learned gen-
tleman were counsel for the defendants. _ _

The plaintiff, who u a nurseryman at Camberwell, bad
• contract in November, 1865, to plant about 1,591 shrubs,
and trees of an ornamental character at Bickley. The
trees were forwarded from Bunningdale to Bickley station
by the defendants, but they were so long delayed in the
transit that 810 died. The action was brought for the lose
of the trees, loss of time in waiting for the arrival, and the
subsequent clearing the ground and replanting after the
trees had died. The plaintiff claimed 731. 2s. sd. over the
sum paid into court.
The pord Chief Justice observed that this ease was one
merely of Ovum, and ought to have gone to the Hester.
It was a lamentable waste of precious time calling twelve
commercial men of the City of London to investigate such
a case. _ . .

The defendants, feeling they oonlel not resist the claim,
nted to a verdict for the conset claimed.

ST. HELENA, Juin 8.
Her Majesty's ship Landrail arrived all well, and
leaves for Ascension in about three weeks. Her Majesty's
ship Princess Royal is expected here about the 15tb,
and the Bristol about the 20th. Her Majesty's ship Scylla
sailed on the 9th for Ascension and England. The British
barque Victor, from London for Kurractiee, put in here for
repairs, having encountered two heavy hurricanes on the
10th and 16th May, between latitudes 33 and ;14 S., longi-
tudes 124 and 6 W., which swept decks, carried away all
boats, mizzenmast, maintop and topgallant marts, yards,
sails, bulwarks, and galley, and sprung mainmast and bow-
sprit. The ship Duleep Singh, of Liverpool, 80 days from
Bombay, has arrived here. She encountered a tremen-
dous hurricane on the 19th May, in lat. 36.20 S., long.
25.0 E. A heavy sea struck the ship, carried away bul-
warks, quarter-boats, mashing up all atarboarsl cabins,
stove in cuddy, washed away all furniture and baggage,
captain's room stove in, lost ship's papers, register, nauti-
cal instruments, chronometer, signals, table linen, sails,
&0., and brat and second officer and six men injured.

NCOTCN AND IRISH PREIS.

Dealing with the wrongs of the Irish and Scotch peers,
the Tines declares th►t the latter have a reel and intelli-
gible grievance. Tory politics predominate in the electing
body, and therefore no liberal Scotch peer can hope to find
his way into the House of Lords. He is absolutely for-
bidden to sit in the House of Commons, and therefore pre-
sents the singular anomaly of an English subject precluded
by positive law from any participation in public life, except
on condition of adherence to a particular set of political
opinions. The ease is all the harder because the holders
of titles subject to this unjust exclusion bear some of the
noblest historic names in the Peerage. Irish peers are not
permitted to court the favour of Irish constituencies, hut
seats in England and Scotland are open to them. The
tendency of all such honours as hereditary titles
of mere personal distinction, entirely dissevered
from any political duty, to depreciation, as society
advances, is certain and inevitable, and it is diffi-
cult to see what good purpose is answered by the creation
of new Irish peers. In the meantime it may deserve con-
sideration whether it may not be expedient to take the
constituents instead of the representatives, and, in con-
sideration of the unwillingness of many of the peers of
the United Kingdom to take part in the duties annexed
to the titles they bear, to tall those who are virtually pre-
sent by their representatives to an actual share in the
deliberations of the House of Lords.
