SlR,—Bottling my indignation at the proceed-
ings in connection with The Earl, for the Derby, amid it
is shown what reward the party are to receive for their
noble conduct, I have only to deal here with the two
events in Thursday's programme, which are not of great
importance. The Two•year.eld race will prove the most
interesting, and may be woe by the Hermimie colt or

THE COURSE.

We learn from Epsom this morning that an im-
mense concourse of persons has assembled to witness
the great struggle for the blue riband of the turf,
and that as regards the numbers present, the gaiety
of the scene presented, and the interest in the chief
event of the day's carnival, the Derby of 1868 will
be as memorable as any of its predecessors.

LISBON, 7ilAi 27.

The official Dine ;..0 of this morning publishes
the details of the plans submitted by the Minister
of Finance to the Chamber of Deputies on the
23rd. He calculates upon 1,000 contos reis of
increased receipts from new imports, and proposes
to pay the floating debt by the sale and
conversion into bonds of church and corporate
property, and by the sale of a portion of the crown
forests. The minister also proposes to increase the
duties on tobacco, sugar, rice, coffee, tea, butter,
and other articles, and to impose a tax of 10 per
cent. upon the dividends of public companies.
The minister promises in time to exti»gtiiali the

MR. BYRE'S EXPINSES.

WHAT is the truth about the Eyre Defense
Committee, and the revenues at its disposal I It
is no concern of ours to promote subscriptions to
this or to any other committee, or to suggest that
this or any other committee is invoking public
assistance on false pretences. In these
remarks we are expressing no opinion
on the merits of Mr. EYRE or of his prosecutors
one way or the other. We simply ask as the repre-
sentatives of a legitimate public curiosity on the
subject whether or not Mr. Erne's Defence Com-
mittee is in a condition to need public aid and
whether or not " the Jamaica Committee have
" virtually ruined Mr. Erne," as Major ANaoN,
in a letter to the Times, asserts. The
friends of Mr. Evne have always assumed—
and we are not questioning the assumption—that
the great body of the British public are heart and
soul with the ex-Governor against his prosecutors,
or " persecutors," as they are wont to call the
Jamaica Committee. Undoubtedly, if we com-
pare the lists of the two committees, we find a
vast preponderance of wealth and rank
on Mr. EYRE'S side. Mr. Cfrani.ns Bye-
TON, indeed, has publicly stated that sums
vastly beyond all possible costs are at
Mr. EYRE'S disposal. Major Armor; declares
this statement " absolutely false," and is most in-
dignant that Mr. BUXTON should " check the flow
"of subscriptions to the Defence Fund," by
making it " without having first assured himself
"of its truth." Yet if it be absolutely false,
dispassionate persons, who have no other wish
than that justice should be done without respect
of persons, may be excused from inquiring how it
happens that the Jamaica Committee, composed
for the most part of comparatively poor men, and
which is not even advertising for subscriptions, is
enabled to meet all the expenses of prosecuting
Mr. Ems, while the Eyre Defence Committee,
composed for the most part of rich and influential
persons, and which is at this moment advertising
heavily every day, is suing for its client i,. forrad
poilipeeis, proclaiming that Mr. EYRE is already
" virtually ruined," and announcing that if the
criminal prosecution instituted by the Jamaica
Committee, " and the civil cases which they
" have promoted against him are to be per-
, " stated in," the Defence Fund Committee will
have to ask the public for much larger
subscriptions than they have hitherto received.
Apparently there is some contradiction in the state-
ments and operations of the Eyre Defence Com-
mittee which requires to be explained for the
satisfaction of that immense majority of the pub-
lic whom we have so often been assured that
wealthy and influential committee represents.

IHE E PENDITURI Or TNT DIPLOMATIC AU% ICE.

Ob•en'ing that Mr. Labouchere, in moving that
the erpoaditare of the diplomatic service should be an•
nually submitted in detail to the supervision and control
of Parliament, was in • rendition to know, without con-
sulting any official tairthomir, how the diplomitic service
worked, the Deily Newt says further, that it believes the
majority in favour of lir. Laboucheres resolution oeerectly
represents the public impatience of t►e pretensions of the
Foreign-office to matey and mystery and exclniivenees in
its financial arrangements, its disposal of patronage, and
its whole domestic economy. The whole service; and not
only the financial part of it, demands • thorough re-or-
ganis•ties and ieviaion. It wants air and light, responsi-
bility and siinplillcation. Routine, privileges, favouritism,
and abuses which are the natural and fatal growth of
darkness. infest every corner of it.

The Standard reiprde the vote of yesterday as of DO very
great consequence. If the government which is charged
next year with the preparation of the estimates should de-
fer to the epinka d the savesar-eiz sesames whom Mr.
Labouchere and Mr. White rallied round them, the effect
may, of course, be to diminish the efficiency, by destroying
the independence, of the diplomatic service. But if that
is the object of the liberal leaders, if they wigh, as Mr.
Childers, by his allusion to Mr. Borill's appointment,
would seers to do, to raise a debate about every salary and
pension, there can be no doubt that sooner or later they
would attain their end, because the existing system, how-
ever convenient end economical, is an exception to the ge-
neral rule which puts all payments for the public service
under the control of parliament.

IN RE HARM LUTHRR CUMMING-CARY Oi A UNIVIRRITT

The bankrupt was described as formerly of Oriel Calker,

Hotel, Charles-street, St. James's, afterwards of Duke.
street, St. James's, then of the Brunswick Hotel, Jermyn.
street, and since a primmer for debt. The debts are 661/.
due to 47 creditors, of whom 34 are Oxford tradespeople.
The largest in amount is Messrs. Foster, tailors, of High-
street, Oxford, 114/.
This was the sitting for examination and discharge.
Mr. Sykes appeared for the official assignee, and stated
that in consequence of tie accounts having been altered
since they were filed an adjournment would be necessary.
Mr. Reed, who appeared for the bankrupt, asked that
he might pass.
Mr. Neal, jeweller, of Edgware-road, opposed in per-
son. He stated that the bankrupt was the son of the
Rev. Dr. Cumming, and bed been introduced to him by a
Mr. Prescott (since bankrupt in this court) as a gentleman
of good property and good family. The bankrupts dealings
with witness began in 1886. He asked for • detailed cash
amount, also a goods amount. He'obtained from witness
a brilliant half-hoop ring worth 25 guineas, which he had
promised to return, but bad not done so ; the debt alto-
gether was 43/.
Mr. Reed remarked on the facility which mere boys
like the bankrupt had in obtaining credit.
Mr. Neal said the bankrupt considered himself any-
thing but a boy ; he believed he was 27 years of age. He
had been introduced to him by Mr. Prescott, in whom he
had confidence.

The Commissioner—There are faults on both sides, both
in giving and taking credit.
Yr. Neal—l don't think so. On the contrary, I think
that the facility with which young men psis through this
court tempt, them to resort to any stratagem they can to
obtain goods ; and 1 trust the laws on this matter will be
amended very shortly.
The Commissioner—That ought to make you the more
cautious is giving credit.
The case was then adjourned.

THE RAIL.

Notwithstanding the attractions of the road the
increasing popularity of the journey to Epsom by
rail was manifest this morning. Commencing with
the early cheap trains—conveying the police to keep
order, and vendors of various commulities—the
traffic rid the Brighton and South Western lines
was conducted with wonderful rapidity throughoutot
the day. While the former company
of the " only route" to the " Downs station," the
"short and direct route to Epsom" is the attrac-
tion offered by the latter ; and although the more
fashionable visitors proceed from Waterloo, the
number of persons booking seems to be equally
divided between the two lines. Up to 9.15 a.m.
the cheap trains from London-bridge were
despatched in rapid succession—subsequent
to which the " specials " were started as fast as the
occupants of the several compartments were seated.
That was a work occupying but little time, and
meanwhile the trainsdestined for " the town " were
being filled in another part of the station. Up to 12
o'clock there was a constant stream pouring in at
London bridge, with every probability of its con-
tinuing till the departure of the last fast train at
2 p.m. The cheap trains also continued to run
from the Waterloo terminus to 9.15, ten in all
being despatched. From that time till past 12
Waterloo-bridge was lined with cabs and carriages
conveying fashionably dressed persons to
the station, and no less than fourteen " spe-
cials " had been started at that hour. The train
leaving Waterloo at 11.40, conveyed his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, Prince Teck, the
Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of Richmond,
and a distinguished party, an ordinary first-class
carriage being provided for them.

THE ACQUITTAL OF PNAMIANT JOHNSON.

In the opinion of the Timm it cannot but be a matter of
intense gratification to every well-wisher of the American
republic that the impeachment has failed. /raceme pro-
bable that the direct result will be small, but its indirect
influence in strengthening the hands of moderato men can-
not be slight. Mr. Johnson himself may not improbably
be elated at his acquittal, but the President is . powerless
for good or evil for the few months he has yet to serve.
He may be violent in language, but he is impotent in act.
The convention at Chicago, which has been held in the inter-
val between the two judgments of the Senate, has shown a
disposition on the part of the majority of the republicans
to disown the policy and the guidance of the extreme wing
of the party. The selection of Mr. Colfax as the candidate
of the party for vioe-president, and the denupciation of
General Butler's scheme of repudiation, indicate the pre-
dominance of healthier counsels. The presidential con.
test may be expected to become a struggle to obtain the
vete of those men who turn with equal aversion from
democratic and from republican partiunahip, and a
rivalry in prudence and moderation may follow the
failure of the violent procedure which was so nearly
successful.

THE QUEEN AT BALMORAL.

The Times says it was an act of culpable neglect on the
part of Mr. Disraeli not to inform the Queen that the
political prospects of her government were so doubtful as
to dem end her presence at or near the seat of the legisla-
ture. The Queen has always shown herself ready to fulfil
her constitutional duties, and no one can doubt that, had
the case been fully laid before her, she would williagly
have remained at Windsor at a period of such paramount
importance. An interview similar to that which Mr.
Disraeli described with so much unction a fortnight since
cannot be held. It is enough for a statesman to take a
trip to Osborne when he has to wait on the Queen, and
many of our readers will remember how Lord Palmerston,
in his old age, had to spend the greater part of a winter
afternoon on the Solent when he was bidden to the pre•
acne of his Sovereign. Balmoral, however, is quite out
of the question. Mr. Disraeli is 63 years of age, and,
though mentally energetic, it would be too much to ask
him to rush to the Highlands at limited mail speed and
return within forty-eight hours. So her Majesty must be
communicated with by messenger, U at all ; and, however
the communication is made, there must be an inconvenient
lapse of time before the answer is received.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

Fresh up this morning the receipts of borne-grown wheat
were small, bat • slight improvement was noticeable in
the quality of the produce. The demand was limited for
all qualities, at Monday's reduction in value.
For the time of year the show of foreign wheat was
good. In all descriptions sales progressed slowly at quite
the late decline.

Floating cargoes of wheat commanded vary little &Ben.
tiond and the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers.
In other respects the Hosting cargo trade was inactive.
The supply of barley was only moderate. Business was
quite of a retail character, on former terms.
Melt was /lull, bat prices were supported.
The market was scantily supplied with oats. With a
stately demand the quotations were well maintained.
Beans met a slow sale, at late rates.
Peas were unaltered in value. The demand was inao-
tire.

-2Not mush bnirintes was pawing in dour, and country
marks barely realised their previous value.
Linseed and rapeseed were quiet. In most agricultural
seeds the transactions were on a limited scale. Cakes
were in sluggish request.

the treaty of 1.960 had injuriously affected the industry. of
France, and what were the elements of the general crisis
weighing upon Europe.
M. }Wilber will conclude his speech to-morrow. In the

HAYMARKET.

A little oomedietta, called The Ladies' Champion,
an adaptation of La Chevalier ales Lbsesee, which has ap-
peared two or three times, under various names, on the
English stage, and owe beton, we believe, at the Hay-
market, was produced last night es the ant piece of the
evening. It is a slight but ingsaious kilo, with a leading
part of the kind so often sueonthilly represented by Mr.
Charles Mathews, which enabled Mr. Kendal to show his
ability as a light (*mediae. The other parte were sus-
tained by Mr. Walter Gordon, Mims Jon. Burke, and
Mies Fanny Wright.

THE POOR RATE IN EICOTLAND.

The Daily Nears points out that the basis of the rating
principle is not available in the northern part of Scotland
because there are many poor parishes which prefer to sup-
port their poor by voluntary subscription rather than by
the machinery of a rate. The government has
already been obliged to meet these eases with a
clause of dispensation where there is no poor-rate,
but the remedy only introduces new inequalities.
The Scottish Poor-law allows occupiers under 4/. rental to
be excused en masse from rates where they are levied. '
Therefore the mere imposition of a poor rate might, in the
option of the parish rulers, be made the means of disfran-
chising many voters who had exercised the suffrage before
the rate was laid on. Such are the reasons why the libe-
ral members for Scotland unanimously resist the introduc-
tion of the novelty, and why the conservative independent
members, with but two exceptions, cannot be got to vote
for It. In the face of these facts, it is impossible for the
government either to resign or dissolve on thie question,
but very easy for them to acknowledge and remejy a blun-
der which their local officials should have saved them from
falling into.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.-(THIS DAY.)

Coastwise as well as by rail the supply of home-grown
wheat wu very moderate, but more than equal to the de-
mand. The continuance of fine weather and the satis-
factory account from the agricultural districts caused
considerable heaviness to prevail in the trade for both red
and white parcels, and business was with difficulty con-
cluded, at barely Monday's reduction in value.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The
transactions were on a limited scale, at the late decline.
Floating cargoesof wheat commanded but little attention,
at drooping prices. Other kinds of produce afloat were
dull of sale.
_ . _

There was only a moderate quantity of barley on sale.
The demand was inactive, at late rates.
Malt was dull, but no change took place in the
quotations.
Beans were quiet, on former terms.
No change took place in the value of peas, the inquiry
for which was limited.

The dour trade was quiet at late rates.
Seeds, u well ea wakes, moved off slowly on former
terms.

SERIOUS FIRE AT OREENWICK.

This morning a: fire 'broke' out in the premises
of Alessi.. J. and G. Rennie, boiler makers, Greenwich.
It was discovered in one of lithe factories containing
a number of partially finished boilers andlother valuable
property ; and, owing to the comparative scarcity of water,
the efforts of the firemen were not effectual in preventing
it from spreading to another building of the earns size and
character. These factories, or sheds, which were 140 feet
long, and of considerable width, were burnt out, and their
valuable contenta consumed.

The value of the property destroyed is roughly esti-
mated at several thousands of pounds.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

Sittiap in Beam— (Before the Lord Chief Jostle'
Betfil, and Justices Wilke sad Smith.)

RICNARI/MON V. THE METROPOLITAN LOMAT comrANT.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries sus-
tained while the plaintiff was • pager oa the &lea-
dints' line, and on the trial in the Lord Mayor's Court the
jury found for the plaintiff damages WI.
Mr. H. James now moved pursuant to leave reserved by
the Recorder, for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show
cause why a verdict for the defendants era nonsuit shoved
not be entered. On the 17th March last the plaintiff got
into a carriage on the defendants' line at King's-cross, but
finding some difficulty in getting a seat, he remained
standing for some half-minute, who. the guard called out
" Take your seats," and Milt the door. The plaintiff at
this time had hold of the jamb of the door, and his thumb
was pinched when the door closed. It was submitted that
these facts showed that there was no negligence on
the part of the guard, and at all events that the
plaintiff by his own negligence contributed to the accident.
A abort time ago a majority of the judges of this court
held the Brighton Railway Company liable for having
pinched a inane hand in the doorway ; but the ground
of the judgment was that the door was closed
before the passenger had time to seat himself. In the
present cue, however, there was ample time allowed, and
there was no reason for the plaintiff keeping his hand in
so dangerous a position.
Rule granted.

The petitioner, a merchant, married the respondent in

an intimate ftiend of the family ; and it was alleged that
he Lad abused Lis position in both capacities to debauch
the petitioner's wife. The ease rested almost entirely 041
the testimony of servants. The respondent pleads. 114
denial, and alleged cruelty and neglect, yet but little evi-
dence was given to make out these charges.

ration, found for the petitioner on all the lames, and
assessed the damages at 1,500 f.

PRoTESTA NT ALARM..

THE organs and agents of that great " consti-
tutional " Ministry which proposed The other day to
endow the Roman Catholic Church, and to give a
royal charter to a Roman Catholic university in
Ireland, are industriously rallying the consti-
tuencies— East Worcestershire, for example--
to the cry of " Protestantism to the rescue !"
To the rescue from whom, or from what?
From the Liberal majority of the House of
Commons, whose leaders are already in power,
and may be in office when they will, who propose
to liberate the Protestant Church in Ireland from
the badge and stigma of an injurious material
ascendancy, to take from the Roman Catholic
Church of the majority the moral ascendancy of
an ancient wrong, and to grant to both the majority
and the minority of the Irish population absolute
equality and independence of the State in all that
relates to their creed, their conscience, and their
limns of public worship. Setting aside, however,
for the moment the broad questions of imperial
justice, of public policy, of pacification and re-
dress, which must be tried and resolved by the
national conscience, we ark ourselves, as English
Protestants, to whom " the light of the Reforms-
" tion" is as precious as it ow well be to the
most ardent ecclesiastical or political cham-
pion of the Irish Church, whether the great
interests of eivil and religions liberty, which
are identified with the cause of Protestantism
—and we might add with the Liberal party—in all
countries, are likely to be in the slightest degree
imperilled or compromised by t!.e withdrawal of
State privilege and prestige, of gate sub•idy and
support, tr9Pl the rietestant Establishment
