INSURRECTION IN EPIRUS.

Letters from Athens dated the 6th of September
announce that the inhabitants of several villages
in Upper Epirus on the frontiers of Albania, have
revolted against the exactions of the Turkish autho-
r:ties. A body of 3,000 insurgents, chiefly Turks,
attacked the troops, of whom 11 were killed, and
259 wounded. The movement is stated to be
spreading through the whole of Epirus, and 1,600
Inew insurgents joined the first body. A deputa-
tion went to Corfu to lay their complaints before
the diplomatic body. The ministers of England
and Prussia left to verify the state of things for
themselves on the spot.

To show that the Great &stern Railway suffers not merely
from current extravagance or miamanagemest, but from the

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-BOVSE.

Two young men, named Bursky sad Saunders, were
brought up in custody of Hancock, a detective officer,
charged with attempting to commit a robbery.
The nature of the offence imputed to the prisoners was
of a novel character, and it will be well for the public,
or at all events that portion of it who represent commercial
firms as travellers in the metropolis, to be on their guard in
future. It appeared that on the previous afternoon the
officer maw ono of the prisoners manias after a commercial
traveller's trap in Cannon-street, sad he took something
from his pocket and was endeavouring to open the boot
behind. The other man was on the pavement, sod when
he saw the officer he gave a hint to his companion, and
they both ran away, and it was not until afters smart chase
that the offloer succeeded io capturing them. Upon their
being searched a key something similar to a railway
carriage key was found upon one of them, and with this
instrument they were able to open the boots of travellers'
traps ; and it was stated that a great many robberies of
this description had been recently committed, and many
wholesale houses had been robbed of property to a very
considerable amount

The prisoners were remanded.
The public are aware that on Tuesday last a number of
gentlemen, anion whom was Mr. Hickson, thechairman of
the Poplar Union, waited upon the Lord Mayor for the
purpose of enlisting his sympathy and co-operation in their
endeavour to raise a sum of mooey for the relatives of the
crew of the unfortunate steamship the London, wbo lost
their lives when she foundered. His lordship consented to
the application, but soggreted that before the matter was
placed before the public it would be well that a committee
should be formed for the purpose of ascertaining the exact
number of persons wbo had become destitute in conse-
quence of the sad calamity, and the probable amount that
would be required to supply their necessities. It appears
that no definite information has yet been obtained I. refer-
ence to these matters, and all that has been ascertained is
that there are 14 widows sod 30 children whose husbands
and fathers loot their lives in the London.
GUILDHALL.

Thomas Snow, 27, and William Turner, 33, well dressed,
and described as betting men, were again brought up, on
remand, before Sir F. 13. Moon, charged with conspiring
with another man not in custody to defraud Mr. John
M'Parlane, a shawl designer, of 41.
The prisoner Snow met the prosecutor in Holborn, and,
after making an inquiry, he induced him to have a glass of
ale. They entered a house, where another man was seen,
who pretended to be drunk. Turner afterwards entered,
and they all commenced tossing, except the prosecutor.
He was asked if he had any money, and finding that he
had only a few shillings Snow asked him the time, and on
producing his gold watch the strange men said it was not
a genuine one, which gave rise to a pretended bet et 21.,

THZ TRIAL OP MR. GORDON.

That Governor Eyre himself bad a presentiment that
the publication of any report of the pretended trial of
Mr. Gordon, must damage the Jamaica autho-
rities, seems to the Daily New clear from the
fact that he has sent home no report of the
proceedings, although an official narrative has for some
time been in the hands of his partisans in this country,
who in his interest concealed it u long as they could.
Its appearance has compelled the most vehement
of the advocates for "suspension of judgment" to
confess that judgment must be given against him.
As little evidence was furnished to the court-martial of
Mr. Gordon's participation in a riot as of his instigation
of a rebellion. One item there is which we would if we
could believe formed no element in the judgment of the
court, of the brigadier, or of the governor who confirmed
the proceedings, so dark is the blot it cuts upon them if
they gave it heed ; it is the refusal of the court to call the
medical man who prohibited Mr. Gordon from attending
the fatal vestry meeting of the 9th of October. We know
from the official narrative of Mr. Bowerbank, the custoe cf
Kingston, who arrested Gordon, that to him he spoke of
his illness, and gave the name of another medical gentleman
who was cognisant of it. And we know too from the same
authority that Gordon earnestly intreated that he might be
allowed to communicate with his lawyer, bat that be was
not allowed. No Englishman, sensible of what justice
alive to the inestimable value of a regard to the dignity and
supremacy of the law, milled in his breast the merest
instinct of Wilma', can make a party question of a murder
done on such a plea, by such means, with such instro.

The Herald cannot conceive how anyone can do other-
wise than approve of the conduct of Governor Eyre and
the civil and military authorities in suppressiog so ener-
getically and quickly a bloody insurrection. For months
Mr. Gordon had been hatching revolt ; it was imperative,
when the rebellion took place, that he should be put en
his trial, and the Herald does not see how tbe court-
martial could have acquitted him. A nisi! court, with the
earns evidence before it, would have come to the some
conclusion.

The Star repeats that the trial and oondemnation of
Gordon constitute a murder simulating the forms of the
fair and judicial inquiry. With regard to Dr. Bowerbank's
mount, it would be difficult to find testimony clearer or
lees capable of being impugned to the criminal precipitancy
of the authorities and the wi'd panic of the white popu-
lation.

MISOELLAIIEOOB TOPICS.

The Time/ in Sir John Kay Shattleworth's late speech,
in which the revised code was criticised, an illustration of
the political shortcoming of which a man of high intellectual
powers may be capable. Like a thorough departmentalist,
he does not see that the whole system under the
Education-caw had become a monstrosity and a
distortion. The limbs were dwindled and the vital
power deranged to produce an enormous he id. The
babe—for babe it wee still—was rieketty, and on the
way to idiotcy as well as physical weakness. A new
regimen was necessary for strength, health, and life iteelf.
It was given in the revised code—a political necessity, as
every statesman saw at the time, and now day by day
sees more and more. ' Row moth further the revised code
might have been carried it the direction of freedom and
extension we will not at present stop to implies).
Treating of Mr. Dillen's address at the meeting of the
Irish National Association, the Post remarks that a more
fatal error for the Irish people to fall into cannot be con-
ceived than to suppose that the policy of the imperial
government can be modified by menaces.

The management of the last Irish disaffection may cost
u much in care and anxiety, as well as in men and money,
before we bays seen and heard the last of it ; but the
Herald cannot doubt that Madmen, even of the lowest
and most ignorant classes, will come in the end to see the
ruin that their plans, could they succeed, must bring on
whatever there remains to be ruined in Ireland. In the
meantime they may be shown effectually the hopelessness
of any such success by decisive and uncompromising energy
on the rut of the executive.

TRADE AND n btANCE.

In the present state of chronic uncertainty in the money
market, the Daily Nem says it is not surprising to find the
prices of public securities at an almost unpreeedentedly low
point. The gold discoveries and consequent enhancement of
coat of living base of late compelled many small fundholders
to take up better-paying, if less safe, stock than Console.
Bankers have become somewhat disinclined to bold it, and
the increased value of money has stopped the steady stream
of small investments, a joint stock bank giving an interest
of perhaps half as much again, while the capital of the in-
vestors stands no chance et ilinattution by a fall in prices.
As long, therefore, as the yahoo( money is kept up, whether
from ths nano-el wonting of ts..cle or from the pressure o
artificial restrictions, Ills funds must necessarily suffer.
The rate of discount may, it is true, fall to 3 per cent,
but at any moment some unforeseen circumstance may again
send it as high as 7 or 8, and es these movements have
gradually become the ante instead of the exception, it has
become smatter of c- lculation that it answers better to take
only 2 per act. tha wesk when you have a chance of 5 or 6
the next. This Ghoul:7)2'l-es explains in a great degree the
enormous increase in deposits of the joint stock banks
and discount estasslishm mts during the pest few years.
The rise in the value of money tells, however, with much
greater effect upon tie prices of other securities than
Console. Unfortunstely, road and bad enterprises ere
lumped together. The price of shares in the market is
frequently an unsafe guide to rely upon. The
price is often kept down by the difficulty which some
of the shareholders find in meeting the cells, and so are
forced to rellise • portion of their holdings. This clams
having undertaken what it cannot fo4lfil has no sound
argument of dehisce. Tho only safe °mires for an investor
is to consider beforehand the amount of capital he can
legitimately embark in the undertaking—supposing of
oourse that it prom's*, to be fairly lucrative—and te go no
further. For one &Wawa that may be cited of a specula-
tive bolder of abases having made a profit ten might be
given of there having been a loss. The Daily Pere ob.
serves a'so that the disine'iestion of the British public to
purchase that onoe-favoured class of investments,
foreign stocks, becomes more marked every Jay—
a fact which is greatly due to the 'timorous
breaches of faith which have lately charaeterised—
as in the flagrant case of Veseraela, for example—oar
foreign applicants. But the little consideration with which
shwa assistant claims upon British oapltal--often to be
equaadered in the most unproductive mangier—lave been
received affords the most hopeful iodisation as to the future
course sf the money market. Already we have quite sof&
dent on our hands in the shape of augmented trade and
legitimate enterpriss to give fair employment for our avail.

TAonsas Harrison, 23, Cheareril We18)1,19, and James
Armstrong, 18, were indicted for assaulting, in Wolver-
hamton, another man named Thomas Broadbent and
robbing him. Late on the night of the 2nd September last
the prisoners met prosecutor in a back street in the town
named, knocked him down, one of them almost strangling
him, and robbed him of all the money he had upon lean,
about 2s. The jury found the prisoners Guilty, and, as
they had been previously convicted, his lordship said the
only sentence he ought to pass upon them was that of seven
years' penal servitude ; he should not, however, per such
a sentence upon them in that instance, but would order
Harrison to be imprisoned for eighteen months, and to
further receive twenty-five lashes from what was com-

pRE.mipENT joliNsON'S MESSAGE.

The Times entirely agrees with President Johnson, that
it is high time the vexatious dispute respecting the Ala-
hams was set at rest, and regrets that Lord Russell,
though probably right in disclaiming any legal liability to
compensation, did not hold out any hope of a compromise
honourable to both parties, and defer the discussion until
the end of the war. Lord Stanley is perfectly free to en-
tertain any fresh proposals without prejudice ; and it
would be a great misfortune if he were to be embarrassed
in dealing with them according to his own judgment by
any reluctance to reverse the tleciaion of his predecessor.
The appointment of a commission to inquire into the
operation of our neutrality laws is an acknowledgment of
the relevancy of such extra-legal considerations, and this
step will obviously render the adjustment of the Alabama
claims much easier than it would otherwise have been. As I
to Mexico, the Times thinks it not unreasonable that a 1
great North American republic should resent the creation
and maintenance of a Mexican empire by French interven-
tion on its own frontiers. The abdication of Maximilian,
if it has not taken place already, is merely a
question of time. The President's obstinacy in
adhering to his reconstruction policy is carried to
pitch which is not without an element of sublimity ; bat
Istatesmanship must be measured by a practical standard,
anti of all rulers Elective Presidents are those who h.tve
least right and least power to defy the popular will.

whole question of Reform must be shelved till next
session, for the Home certainly would not consent to I
sit till next September discussing i double-
barrelled bill, and seoondly, much statistical infor-
mation would have to be collected with respect*
borough boundaries, &c. which would make
almost impossible to discuss the measure effectually
during the present year. But to shelve the measure
till next year would be to strike a blow against the
Government which they would never recover. They
have deliberately and on full consideration of the
subject brought forward the Reform Bill in its
.71
present shape, and selected their own battle-ground,
and a section of the Liberal party,throwing off their
allegiance to their leaden, combine with the
Conservatives to defeat them. No one can be green
enough to suppose that, if they promise to bring
in a complete measure nest session, Keens. Lowe
sad Horsman will be more inclined to enfranchise
the 71. householder than they are this year. Some
Lord Grosvenor or other be easily found to
propose an insidious amendment, and defeat or
quailing this year will make the government inh-
nitely more vulnerable next. Ii is clear, then,
that the only legitimatecouree for the Government
is to stand to their guns, and to call upon their party
to decide, aye or no, whether they will support their
leaders or not. It is understood that Lord Russell,
Sir George Grey, and Mr. Gladstone have been the
framers of the scheme laid before Parlisineot, and if
a section of the Liberal party do not place confidence
in these statesmen let them distinctly say so by their
votes. It will then be for the Government to decide
whether they shall bow to the decision of these forty
defaulters, or whether they shall appeal to the
moony, and allow the questiou to be clearly de-
cided at the hustings whether the Liberal party is in
favour of a substantial bus temperate measure of
reform, or is as apsthetie on she, subject as the
Timis and the Toxin based—l 11A11, be., •

LOBEI OF THE LONDON.

Mr. GRANT asked the President of the Board of Trade,
if he considered the late inquiry into the loss of the London
steamer was a satisfactory one • and if so, to state what, in
his opinion, were the eaumeallejed in the report of the court
of inquiry sa having occasioned the said wreck, by which so
Lege a sacrifice of life took place.
lin GIBBON mid that the inquiry into the loss of the
Leedom was so far satisfactory that every person who could
give any information. or was competent to form an opinion
upon the subject, was fully examined and although he
thought the mode in which molt inquiries were genersll7
conducted might be improved, he doubted whether in tins
cam if a different mode bad been adopted, the court or
the public would have been enabled to come to a
more correct conclusion as to the km of the ship.
With regard to the cause of the loin of the London, as
alleged in the report, he could only reply by referring to
the report itself, which stated that the immediate cause
of the loss was the sea getting into the engine room sod
eirtingedehieg the fires, but whether the water came In
through the hatchway or by means of sense unobserved
injury in the ship the evidence did not show.
THI FRAINIUM

Ur. NEV7151:4111 said he had to sok the Chshrellor
of the Exehequer a question, 'riffle( out of a statement
made by him in reference to the Reform Bill. He desired
to know whether it waa the iosention of the government to
give a qualification to copyholders and leaseholders within
cities and boroughs, or within counties or divisions of
twenties within which such intim and boroughs are situ-
ated ; and, if sn, what minden to the county condi-
tunnies would be made by each provision.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did
not understand the motive of the hos. gentleman in the
first pert of his question ; for he thought the intention of
the government was declared with perfect clearness on the
face of the bilL With respect to the latter pert of the I
es qution, the government had no mound forming anything
more than a judgment upon the sabject, a. n did not
admit of being shown by returns. The county TOWS were
the subject of claims, sad depended mum the parties corning
forward end making and establishing them. The judgment
of the government upon the subject was this : They looked
to the number of copyholders and lemeholders on the re-

on the actual register. They then took into view
the large number of copyholders and laseaboiders within
the limits of parliamentary boroughs that MIA be disquali-
fied from claiming for the county by reams of tho fact that
they were in occupation of their own holdings., and if so
they could not be oleic:mita fee parliamentary votes in re-

RE °LONGS NELSON.

The bankrupt was a homes decorator and builder, of 18, I
Richmond-road, Bayswater. He came before the court
upon accounts disclosing a total liability of 2,621/., with
assets and property held as security returned at 1,6611., but
nothing has yet come lobo the hands of the of assignee.
Mr. Chidley, for the amignere, said he was not instructed
to oppose any farther. The assignees were satisfied with
the explanations which the bankrupt had given with regard
to his property, and although nothing had actually been re-
ceived, it was confidently anticipated that • considerable
ram would become divisible ammapt the creditors.
His Honour—l am afraid your expectations will not be
realised. The wets given up by these men consist gene-
rally of a little eraffoldiog sad a few poles. (IL laugh.)
Mr. Chidley said there was no doubt about the property
being valuable, and that creditors would receive a dividend.
Mr. Petersen supported the bankrupt.
His Honour passed the ceder.
(Before Mr. Registrar Brougham)
IN EL C. BANCHS.

The bankrupt was described u a non-trader, formerly of
Brozbourne, then of Itydal, now temporarily residing at the
International Hotel. He was also a shareholder in various
Dublin companies, in some of which he had been a director.
The adjudication was rude upon the petition of Mr. Carter,
liquidator to the Compressed Meat Company, to which the
bankrupt was a contributory, and to-day was appointed for
the proof of debts and chains of amalgams. No accounts
have yet been filed, but the liabilities are stated at between
20,0001. and 30,0001. A debt was proved by the Loudon
and Hamburg Bank for 10,3541.
Mr. Carter, the petitioning creditor, wu now chosen
assignee, and Maas. Lawrence, Plows, and Boyer were
appointed solicitors is the matter.

THE MCOTION OF SOUTILT.

The Post seeks in vain through the history of Southey's
career for the evidence of inaanity. His was an ill-regulated
mind, it is true, but it was so simply in the sense that the
minds of all criminals are ill regulated. He feigned m►d-
neu in the dock. but before the trial was completed he
showed himself ashamed of the transparent imposture. It
would be an equivocal compliment to the Home Secretary
to say that he evinced praiseworthy firmness in refusing to
re-try by a medical commission a man whom a jury had
pronounced on the moat conclusive evidence to be respond'.
ble for his acts, but we are nevertheless glad to find that
the course adopted two years ago in the ease of Townley is
not regarded as a precedent at the Howe-office. If Southey
had been respited, the offence of murder should have been
expunged from our catalogue of crimes.

The Herald comments on the sensation which we insist
upon extracting out of our great malefactors, and thinks
Southey's impression that be is as ill-used man in one
sense is intelligible when he finds us anatomising his cha.
raster; taking him as a subject for salons and an argument
in the pulpit ; and at the limit Handing him ever to Jack
Ketch as content as if he never had the honour of five
minutes' of our consideration. We are not without some
share of responsibility in these tragedies ourselves. We
dandle our umlefactors into what we find them, and then
hang them for becoming what we make them. The
mania of Southey, in charging all he did amiss on
society, had this particle of truth in it. It is we
who grow up the social nuisances whose numbers
multiply almost in the proportion of our novels,
and who are always distinguishable among us by
the characteristic that the element of their vanity is always
as potent as that of their worthlessness. It was evident,
from the first. that nothing but misfortune could happen
to such • sickly product of our civilisation as Edward
Southey. He WAS so unhappily constituted that he could
combine all the vices in act with all the virtues in self-
esteem. He wan below the lowest place you could put him
into in almost the proportion he thought himself superior
to the best that chance might easter upon him ; and the
comforting delusion never failed him, that whoever might be
right he never could be wrong. His moral economy, It may
be feared, was the practical reflection of a great deal of the
lower kind of our popular lit/ratan.
