BETWEEN DOVER AND CALAIS.

Ix a report from Mr. HOTHAII, Consul at Calais,
which has just been presented to Parliament, the
project of bufldmg a bridge across the Channel is
condemned. The scheme of a huge floating ferry
is pronounced feasible. Nothing is said either for
or against the plan of excavating a tunnel beneath
the Channel. Of all the propositions, it is justly
remarked that, provided capital be forthcoming,
" the engineers' part would be the least difficult."
We do not lay stress on any of these opinions;
they merely represent the views held by a gentle-
man whose official position leads him to take a
special interest in the subject. But other sugges-
tions made by Mr. HOTHAM merit attention on
their own merits. He gives good reasons for
concluding that the time now occupied in pass-
ing between the capitals of France and England
may be materially lessened. At present the mail
is carried in ten hours and a half, by way of
Calais. As a rule the service is performed with
great regularity, and the captains of the small
Channel steamers venture to cross in weather
which involves no slight danger to themselves and
their crafts. There are gales, however, during
the winter months, which the bravest captain
dare not face—consequently the postal communi-
cation between the two countries has often to be
suspended. Now this might be rendered almost
impossible were larger vessels employed. The
most violent gales in the Enguah, are not non

of a gold watch, valued at 181. 10s.

ceeded in obtaining her Weist:oe'rit eieo. 57, toil fdn cif

TIIII lIIIRNIANB IN DOMUARA.

Obi,ervlng that the Russians now appear to be master;
of Bukhara. as well as of Slimarcand, and that the black
and white Sag is advanced beyond the Caspian and Aral
Seas to cities which have nothing between them and
British India but Afghanistan—the Telegraph proceods
to argue that this advance of Rusin is merely an excellent
thing for civilisation, and in no wise menacing to British
India. We have in Afghanistan a natural barbican or
frontier fortress. It defends us against Persia for
a religious reason, because the Persians are all
Shiites and the Afghans all Soonite Moslem;
and, as these bate each other almost as badly
as rival Christian sects, Persian intrigue is paralysed
beyond Herat. The Afghan always hates the power or
the prince in possession ; so that we have merely to keep
out of the Khyber Pass to be the popular and desirable
name. But, for imperial and military reasons our position
is perfect while we do not go beyond the Indus. There
we are " at home ;" the Russian when he came to the
river would be "in the air." The entire force of our
eastern empire can be marshalled at that natural line : for
Russia it would be at the extremity of her organisation,
and defeat would be catastrophe.

JODI'? MCC OMPANLEB—MAREHOLDEZB AND MEMOS&
The Daily News observes that shareholders seem at last
to have been aroused from the apathy which allowed their
property to be brought to the brink of ruin, and have to a
large extent abandoned usolese declamation for the more
practical purpose of criticising management and looking
into accounts. It cannot be denied that directors have in
many cases fared ill from this unwelcome scrutiny.
Abuses have been laid bare, jobberies prevented,
and, worse than all, a spirit of independence has
been awakened, productive of both irritation and alarm.
On the other hand, as one extreme begets another, there
is a strong probability that shareholders will be inclined to
push their power too far. Shareholders must not exact
too much, and directors must not evade fair inquiry. They
are confidential stewards, paid for their services ; but
while keeping in prudent reserve their daily mode of busi-
ness, it must no longer be felt that they are advancing
their own interests beyond that of their proprietaries, and
creating suspicion by unnecessary mystery or refusals to
reply.

an alai in. The prisoner was then pursued and captured,
and he gave up a piece of paper, saying that was his
authority for taking the 'street.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUBE.
Samuel 77mmapson, a respectably dressed young man,
described as a barman, was brought up on remand before
the Lord Mayor, charged with stealing a leathern case
containing cheques for over 2,0001.
It will be remembered that on Friday, the 19th instant,
Mr. Christopher Jones, a clerk in the employment of
Messrs. Durant and Co., silk brokers, Copthall-court, was
passing along St. Mary Axe, at half-past 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, when the prisoner snatched the case from under
his arm and ran off. Mr. Jones pursued, crying " Stop,
thief!" and the prisoner was stopped in Leadeuluill-stniet,
and given into the custody of a policeman. Ho was in a
very excited state, and, on being charged with the theft,
appeared as if he was going to faint.
The prisoner's brother was now present, and stated
that the prisoner had been a barman with Mr. Kemp,
Middle-row, Knigh‘bridgo, for eight or nine months. He
had, however, left that situation about three weeks ago,
and was now living with him (witness). He had been
attending the Brompton Hospital for three or four months
for disease of the chest.
Mr. Kemp ,aid he had always found the prisoner to be
sober, honest, and industrious, but latterly he appeared to
have gone wrong in the head. When spoken toll° some-
times did not reply, and only stared vacantly, and on one
occasion he rose during the night and walked about the
streets for two or three hours, leaving the door of the
house open, and when he returned he stated that he had
gone out to look for half a sovereign which he had lost.
The Lord Mayor remanded him for another week, in
onis: that be might have a report from the medical officer
of the gaol.

The sixty-fourth anniversary of the match
between the amateur and professional talent of England
commenced at Lord's at 12.20 to-day. Both elevens
played very strong, the gentlemen having the " pull "
in:the batting, and the players in the bowling department.
Mantle played instead of Griffith, who, as reported
at last week, is suffering from a sprained ankle. The
weather was again gloriously fine, and there was a fair
attendance when play commenced. The gentlemen won
the toss, and their captain (Mr. V. E. Walker) selected
Dr. Grace and Mr. B. B. Cooper to inaugurate the batting,
the players' bowling being entrusted to Wootton (pan-
lion end) and Silcock. Ten runs were made for the most
part by Mr. Cooper, when Dr. Grace " played " a ball
which rebounded from the wicket-keeper, and knocked off
his bails, and being outside his crease he was run out.
Mr. W. G. Grace followed.

The batsmen got so firmly " set," and scored so rapidly,
that Willsher went on bowling vice Wootton, and Grundy
took Silcock's place. At the end of an hour 75 runs were
recorded, and when 92 had been booked, Mr. Cooper was
cleaned bowled by the Kentish man, after playing a very
superior defensive innings. Grundy next bowled Mr.
Buller and Mr. Mitchell had his wicket shot down by
Windier. Mr. W. G. Grace was in tremendoua hitting form ;
he got three fours off an over of Grundy's. The latter
bowled Mr. H. A. Richardson, and Lillywhite, who took
the ball from Wilkher at 134, clean bowled Mr. Maitland.

Ifewry Cooper, an impudent and dirty-looking lad, who
said he was only 14 years old, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Burcham, charged with being concerned with two
other lads, not in custody, in assaulting Miss Louisa Nash,
in the Great Dover-road, and stealing from her • gold
chain and locket.
Mr. Henry Allen, the prosecuting officer of the Asso-
ciate Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection
of Women and Children, watched the case on behalf of
the society.
The prosecutrix, a young lady about 16, said she lived
with her parents in Victoria-terrace, Old Kent-road, and
about 12 o'clock at noon she was proceeding along the
Great Dover-road towards the Borough with her safer.
She had at that time a gold chain round her neck, to
which was attached a gold locket. As they were praZ/
Black Horse-court the prisoner and two other lade
them, and all of a sudden the prisoner seized her from
behind and tore the chain and locket from her, with which
he and his companions ran down Kent-street. She pur-
sued the prisoner for some time, and saw a man stop him
and hold him until a constable came up, when he was
Wven into custody. His companions, however, escaped.
itness added that she never lost sight of the prisoner.
Mr. Burcham remanded him for a few days to enable
the officer to inquire about his parents.

THE UNSER XONUZIECT ♦T WOBILS.

The Daily News says that if the fellow country-
men of Luther bad no other title to the everlasting grati-
tude of mankind, their conflicts and sufferings for religious
liberty—the protracted agony not of a few heroic souls,
but of whole communities, and of more than one genera-
tion, of martyrs—are their all-sufficient charter, written
ineffaceably in characters of blood and tame.
It is well that at a moment when the church
and court of Rome are pretending to cast humanity
back into the darkness from which Luther delivered it,
the catholic world should be made to see how the work of
her rude excommunicated monk has grown and prospered.
Let the catholic world bear witness to the results of ex-
communication, and ask itself whether the bettor portion
of the world is in the hands of those States and nations
which still acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope, or of
those which have accepted and developed the doctrines of
Luther.

A monument to Luther, observes the rases, was uni-
versally felt to be a monument to German genius, and it
was not without reason, perhaps, that its erection was put
off for three centuries and a half, till, indeed, Germany
had at last become Germany. It was when the harvest
was garnered in that justice could best be done to the
sower of the seed. The heart of the German nation was,
on Wednesday, with Luther, with King William of
Prussia, and with the few princes who stood around him.
It should have been a day of truce for all local and
dynastic antipathies. If the princes bad been wise, they
would have treated the uncovering of the Luther monu-
ment as an event of mere historical interest. Any political
significance that party spirit may give it, can only assist
that principle of unity which Prussian ascendancy has
already so greatly developed.
The Star remarks that, although Luther's memory needs
DO monument, or formal monument, at all in Germany, it
is a grateful and appropriate deed to commemorate the
great turning point of his life's history on its very scene
of action. The word Protestant, which has lost so much
of its significance in our age, and is hardly now under-
stood at all to mean what it meant at the time of the con-
ference of Augsburg, exactly represented the nature of
Luther's reform, the revelation of which Germany became
the scene, and of which Luther was the spirit. His pro-
test was the protest against hierarchical tyranny and its
executioner, the arm of the state, and in days like ouss it
may he well to remember this.

CHURCV MATTERS 1-N SCOTLAND.

Tax London fieolima; has a good deal of
information on Church matters in Scotland on
the occasion of the general assemblies of the
Free and the Established Churches, and the meet-
ings of the synod of the United Presbyterian
Church, just held at Edinburgh. The attempt to
amalgamate various bodies which split off from the
Church on the ground of patronage, and which in
doctrine and discipline are substantially agreed,
makes but slow progress. The writer confesses
his despair of getting English readers to comprehend
the minute differences encountered by the joint
committee who have for some years been endea-
vouring to eliminate the points of discord. The
anti-unionists in the Free Church, though they
do not receive a penny of State aid, and
have no hope of ever doing so, maintain
it to be the duty of the ruler to support
them, and insist upon it that this must be.
held by all whowould unite with them in the same
Church. On the other hand, the anti-unionists
among the United Presbyterians contend that it
would he apostasy from their voluntary principles
to give Elks right hand of fellowship to any
who cl:d not concur with them in the exclusion
of Creaar in any other capacity than that of a sub-

e unto " o d;ye at legitimate
race meetings, Wednesday MO one of those quiet enjoy-
able treats fully appreciated by true lovers of the turf
who witnessed scene interesting sport, despite the general
poorness of the fields. Even holiday-makers had
their turn served, for royalty again shone on the
proceedings, though in a quiet sort of way, end
there was just enough of " fashion" to make one
realise the fact of being at Ascot. What this afternoon will
be like it is shuddering to think, after the crush of Tues-
day, for old Sol promises to come out very strong, having
made himself felt " pretty considerable" yesterday.
Anyhow, the poor punters found it rather hot again, the
only favourite that won being The Earl, on whom too long
odds had to be laid to suit many, especially as it was
thought he may not have recovered from his meat trip
to Perla . He looked and west surprisingly well consider-
ing all things, and best the erratic Suffolk, with St.
Ronan and Vale Royal, in a style to make
his poor Derby victims break put afresh, and
at the same time to place hiss in the positional • St.
Dsger !mounts, Moe Formosa. However, the may
revive MOM day, for it was not by any means the mares'
week, De Vere cutting down Diann chaff for the
Fernhill, and poor Green Sleeve, in the Coronation, having
actually to suffer Athena, out of her coarse, to cut her
down from end to end, so queer a strait was she in. By
the mares' month, a very different state of affairs may
come about, and even Lady Elisabeth might revive, hope-
less as her case is 15 now. The Hunt Cup calls for no
comment, being ch remarkable for the overthrow of
perhaps the warm favourite ever served up for
such a race, and the triumph of another ' lame
'un," Satyr having been industriously "put about"
yesterday as broken down. The programme of the
last day of the meeting 'does not hold forth
very great promise, the disgrace suffered bl4ulius,
and also by Achievement, on Tuesday, rob the
Alexandra Rate of half its interest. The "cracks,' now,
in the presumed absence of the pair, are Blinkhoolie,
Daleaman (both post-entered, hire Julius), Trocadero,
Tynedale, Mr. Bowes's Weetwick and Taraban, and Lord
Glasgow's no name; and I anticipate the success of Blink-
hoolie or Tynedale, the first-named being a glutton either
at weight or distance. Tynodale is also in the Queen's
Plate, but ma leave Mandrake, his stable-companion, to
beat Hippie therein, a task he should just about accom-
plish, the best of the three year okLi—Purveyor, Rurio,
Cap-i-Pie, and Mariner, being also inferior to gim over
so long a course. The only other event completed at
present is The Fifteenth Triennial, wherein Formosa has
only the 51b. allowed Restitution to fear, and she ought
to beat hint, despite their running in The Prince of Wales's

THE SPEAKER AND THE LADIES
GALLERY.

Tnit casting vote of the SPEAKER yesterday
carried the second reading in the House of Com-
mons of the Bill introduced by Mr. Su&w LE-
rants for the Protection of Married Women's
Property. The right hon. gentleman's vote was
based not upon his own opinions but upon Parlia-
mentary precedents and form. It was given by
less in his character of member for North
Nottinghamshire than as an officer of the
house entrusted with the charge of its de-
liberations, and bound to render them as oomph
ae
and effectual as possible. Thetule laid down and
acted upon by preceding SPEAKERS, and followed
by the present occupant of the chair, is that when
on the second reading of a Bill the division is equal,
it is the duty of the SPEAKER, by giving his vote
in favour of the emend reading, to afford the House
further opportunity for deliberation. The prece-
dents for this course, reasonable as it is, are not of
very long standing. So recently as the time of
Anniritrrox, it was the habit of the ElvEmtEn.
when the House was in committee, and his
presidency was suspended, to resume his
privileges of ordinary membership, and to join
in the debates and divisions. 011 occasion
of a tie, he did not scruple to vote as a politician
with his party. The practice of the Irish House of
Commons, while Ireland had a House of
Commons, was the same. After GaArrAN end

?El NAVY.

The Times again draws attention to the mal-administra.
fon of the navy. It is a fatal error, which some day will
cost us all we hold most dear, to intrust to aged admirals
the direction of our great national workshops and the final
decision upon the problenis of practical science which the
designing, the plating, and the equipment of the Beet of
the future necessarily in these latter days involve. With
regard both to our ships and our dockyards, the naval
history of England during the last 18 years has
been one long tale of unreadiness, and ft is the
same now. The admirals selected for the experi-
mental trial of the bonclads report them so unsteady
that a locale force of turret ships would fire against them
six shots for every one, while they in a seaway could not
hope to hit their target "except by accident or miracle."
But the board have adhered to the old broadside form, in
the teeth of warning and experience, and now, two years
after the truth has become patent to all the world, they
discover "that the rolling and pitching of Alps is in-
volved in obscurity," and have issued a memorandum
calling upon officers to register anew the °bemire pheno-
mena.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Area
The members belonging to the club of the Leh
discussed yesterday, in a special party sitting., the
financial measures proposed by Dr. &tate!.
Herr Sturm proposed a resolution containing
the following four points :-1. That the deficit ought
to be covered by extraordinary measures. 2. The
following are measures which would be unacctlaaby:
(A). The contracting of unredeemable loans. il;),
The increase of the paper currency. (C). The in.
position upon the State creditors of a higher taxa.
tion as would be justified by the amount (,1 (ital
of the public debt which has not been accepted by
Hungary. (D). The direct taxation of siaes. 3,
The financial measures, the amendment (
is, however, reserved, must in principle c,natinre
the basis for effecting a balance of expenditire yd
revenue in the state budget. 4. Should any of the
financial measures proposed by the government it
rejected by the house, other distinct resiiiut:oli
conformity with the above principles are to be sub.
witted to the Reichsrath for a solution of the
financial question.

An animated iliscusaion ensued, after shsh
Point No. 1 and paragraphs A and IS of NO. '2 were
conceded.

The discussion will be continl.ed in the next ,it•

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT•

1101781 e OF COMMONS. —WZDNISSDAT, Amu 22.
In the House of COMMONS yesterday, after our
report left, the second reading of the Burials
(Ireland) Bill was carried by 74 to 51.
Mr. Huours moved the second reading of the
Sunday Trading 8.11. He undertook that in com-
mittee a clause should be inserted that the bill
should not repeal the act of Charles If.
Mr. FaxsuFIELD said on that understanding he
should not persevere with his amendment, that the
bill be road a second time that day six months.
Mr. GRAHAM opposed the measure, as one which
sanctioned the breaking of the Sabbath.
Mr. P. A. TAYLOR thought that until they were
prepared to legislate on a larger basis, they ought
not to legislate at all.
Mr. J. It. JLits pointed out that if the statute
of Cheeks were not repealed, the bill wonld be
founded on two opposite principles, and on that
ground he objected to the second reading.
Mr. HARDY should support the second reading;
but unless alterations were made in the bill in com-
mittee, should vote against the third reading.
On a division the second reading was caned by
68 to 31.
The Metropolis Subways Bill passed through
committee.
Mr. !CLASEN moved the second reading of the
Canongate Annuity Tax BilL At present 4,200/
of which 2,2001. was raised by taxation on the parisi
of Oanongate,was applied in paymentof the stipends
of the ministers of 13 churches belonging to the
establishment in Edinburgh. The object of the
bill was to abolish the stipends of the ministers of
three of those churches, saving the rights of the
existing holders. Not one-eighth of the population
of Edinburgh belonged to the established church,
and it was unjust that the rest should be taxed to
support it.
The bill was opposed by the Loan Anvo,ATE and
Mr. Moseastrr, as interfering with the settlement
that was come to in 1860.

Mr. CANDLISH supported the measure.
The bill was thrown out by 86 to 59.
The Legitimacy Declaration (Ireland) Bill passed
through committee.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN. APRIL 22.
At to-day's sitting of the North German Par-
liament a warm debate took place upon the re-
introduction by the government of the bill refer-
ring to the public debt of the Confederation.
An amendment brought in by the opposition,
making individual officials legally responsible for
administrative shortcomings, was firmly opposed
by Count von Bismarck, but nevertheless carried
by 131 to 114 votes. Count Bismarck thereupon
withdrew the bill on behalf of the presiding power
in agreement with the Federal governments.
The semiofficial Provincial Correspondence, re-
(erring to this bill, says that its non-adoption by
the parliament would entail great embarrassment
upon the Federal governments, because the loan
for the development of the navy, granted by the
parliament, was made conditional upon an agree-
ment being arrived at with respect to the public
debt of the Bend.

The New Prussian (Cross) Casette announces that

TES BUDGET.

Expressing its empathy with Mr. Hunt, en the
pr meat inelasticity in the national revenue, the fi,re
proceeds to analyse the estimates of lest year cud
the actual results, and oomes to the c^aclnaiou tioit
the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to provide for •
deficiency 0(3,819,0001. The suggestion to raise the JoAnne
tax from 3d. to Bd., which would wet the difilculty,
is earnestly dej reo.ted by the rico, which insists that
the ministers ought to meet so tempting a plan, especial
eta time when the government of the country is ►bout to
undergo • great change. It is essential that the charge
for the Abyminien expedition in the coming year shoal
be partially laid up. a the elutes who do not come within
the scope of the Memo tax. If the committee ghould in-
cline to look bejond the resources of the year, it would
be necessary that the secret repayment of the
existing debt provided for by the terminating an-
salty schools, which last year 8,1,41 • cheep of
1,066,0001. to expenditure be 'Copp id ; but the Times
thinks that an additional charge such as the Abyssinian
expedition occasions ought to be defrayed by additional
revenue ; and if Yr. Hunt is prepared to distribute the
four millions he requires between the payers of Jammu.
Rix and the consumers of duty-paying commodities, his
demands will be met, if not with entire cheerfulness, with
the acquiescence of • nation reotgaising the nemesesitg and
justice of the burden.

To the Telegraph it seems only too probable that an
addition to the imports wltich we now bear is really re-
quired. Fresh burdens will be submitted to with a little
less reluctance if the public feel misted that ni waste is
permitted in deference to local clamours cr job' cry, and
that the same economy which the events of the last two
years have rendered necessity in almost every hossehold
is applied with rigorous impartiality to the affairs of the
nation.
