EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A MOTHER.

INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.)
This forenoon an
inquiry was held by Mr. John
Humphreys, omoner, the Fountain Tavern, Baldwin.
street, City-road, respecting the death of Henry Imrrer,
aged two years.
Charlotte Dauer, Lever street, St. Luke's, said
that she was the wife of a goldbester, from whom
she was separated, " because he treated her
badly." She had three children, the deceased, who lived
, with her, another child living in the Islington Workhouse,
I and a third kept by the father's parents. The deceased
I having been ailing a little, she took him to a doctor on
• Saturday week. On Sunday she carried him to her
mother's, in Islington, where he died. The next morning
(Holiday) she carried the corpse in her arms to her room in
Lever-street. She said nothing of the death to the people
'in the house. She told the parish people and rake. them
to send a ooffin, which they did the same day. When the
coffin arrived the people in the house were quite surprised,
as they did not know that the child was dead. She told
them, however, that her boy badied in their house during
the previous day ; they did not believe is, and there was a
disturbance. The reason she did not apply for a coffin for
the child in Islington was that the pariah authorities there
might have required her to go into the house with her
second child. She knew nothing about any. mark of a blow
on the deceased's bead. He died from inflammation of
the chest. Witness supported herself by artificial flower-

making.
Thomas Henry Darter, the father of the deceased, mid
that the mother never let him know anything about the
child's death. He was quite surprised when he heard of
it, for the child when last he saw it was in good health.
Witness had to separate from his wife because she was
given to drink, and she neglected him,
The officer of the court said that be had great difficulty
in finding the mother to serve her with a summons ; lie
bad to track her from beer-shop to beer-shop while her
child was deed.
Mr. E. G. Pottle, surgeon, said that the child was once
or twine brought to him, but nothing was the matter with
it except that it was ill-nourished and bad a alight cough.
Since the death he had made a post-mortem examination,
and found a bruine on the head from a blow or from a fall.
The injury had mused convulsions and death.
The jury returned a verdict of " Death from injury to
the head, but whether the said injury arose from a fall or
from a blow there is no evidence to prove, and the jury
severely censure the mother for her conduct with respect
to the deceased."

CLERICAL OONTLIIACT.

Referring to the conduct of Mr. Purchas and his attitude
towards the Ili-hop of Chichester, the Pest says it i, usoheis
for Mr. Disraeli to cry "No Popery," and clamour for the
mainknance of the church in Ireland ; it is useless for Mr.
Gladstone to predict prosperity for the whole kingdom if
that church is swept away ; it is worse than useless to can-
vass subscriptions for the endowment of new bishoprics, if
the church in England is to become a byword and a laugh-
ing-stock, and if her chief dignitaries are to be virtually
peclauried " dummies " by the law of the land.

MIDDLESEX SESSION&

(Before the Assistant-Judge.)
Zama Baker, 26, was indicted for stealing • shawl,
three silk drum" and numerous other articles, the pro-
perty of Alsismise Lowell Sharpen, the wearing apparel of
Lady Annie Shims, sister of the Marquis Townshead.
The stoles sulkies were so balky that the pawnbrobers,
who wire in atkindanes, could not produce them in court.
Mr. =liwPiltizrk for the promeaution, said that
the primmer wee in charge of the house of Lady
Minas, of 23, Thurioe-equere, whilst she was in the
country for three weeks with en invalid friend, but she
frequently came up to town to see that all was right.
After this she prolonged her stay for about a month, but
in consequence of • letter she received she name up to
town, and on arriving at the door of her house she opened
it with a latch-key. On going downstairs she found the
prisoner and a man with her. At that time she was dressed
rn one of her ssistrem's best silk dresses, and it
appeared that she had represented to this man that the
honee and its contents worsen her own. It appeared that
during the time she had been lit in the house she had
been engaged as an actress at the Trevor Music-hall,
Knightsbridge, where she performed the character of
Britannia in a piece called Nelsen, and he handedin a
photograph of her in that character, and be meat say that
in that she presented a much more attractive appearance
thaa she did that day in the dock. (The photograph was
handed to the bench, and examined with some ourniiity.)
It was found that the house had been completely stripped,
and about 40pawnbrokers' duplicates were found upon the
prisoner. A large quantity of property missed not
been recovered.

The Amistant Judge said he should defer' parsing son-
tent* until next sections, to allow the prisoner an oppor-
tunity of giving information as to what she had done
with the remainder of the stolen property.
London, England, 1868-10-21

THE POLICE COURT&

BOW-STREhT.

John Bpong, of Siasinghurst, Kent, =Rater, was
brought up on a warrant, executed by Buck, one of the
warrant officers of the court, charging him with having
forged a curtain will and uttered it, knowing it to be
forged ; and also with having forged and uttered
certain other documents, for the purpose of their being
given in evidence in support of that will.
Buck had gone down a few days ago to Sevenciaks, in
consequence of information received, but found that the
prisoner dud not reside there. He traced the prisoner to
Sissinghunt, but found he was away at that time. Buck
then gave instructions to the local officers, in consequence
of which the prisoner was detained on his return to Sir
Bingham!, and Buck apprehended him.
Yr. instructed by the solicitors to the Treasury,
conducted the prosecution.
In April last_proosedings were taken before Sir James
Wilde, in the Probate Court, to prove a document alleged
to be the will of a named Henry Trimmer. The
probate was o by a person named Wood, the legatee
under a previous will, who contended that the alleged will
was a forgery. The evidence adduced on that occasion
arpeand so strongly to confirm this defence that the
counsel retained for the plaintiff threw up their briefs.
Sir James Wilde decided that the will was a forgery, im-
pounded the documents, and ordered them to he forwarded
to the Tiessury solicitors' office, with a view to the prose-
cution of Spong, by whom they were produced, and who
swore that he found them amongst the papers of the
testator.
'l'ire information and some other documentary evidence
having been read over the prisoner was remanded.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Mar 7, Evasmo.
The Presse of this evening publishes the follow-

trustworthy quarter at Berlin :
"We understand that Count Von Bismarck,
feeling convinced that in view of the claims put
forward by Denmark, no immediate agreement
upon the North Schleswig question is attainable,
will at once address himself to Vienna with the
view of arriving at a solution. The Cabinet of
Vienna will be made acquainted with the want of
success that has attended the negotiations. The
Berlin Cabinet intends to state definitively its
views as to the territory which it is possible for
Prussia to cede without detriment to the national
interests of Germany, and to express a hope that
Austria will accept the offers made by Prussia to
Denmark, as a fulfilment of Art. 5 of the treaty of
Prague. The French Cabinet is also to be put in
possession of the intentions of the Prussian go-
vernment. There are signs that Prussia is ear-
nestly seeking to obtain guarantees for peace by
an approach to Austria."

- ANOTHER DEATH DEATH FROM DLSTITUTION.

This morning Mr. John Humphreys, Middlesex
coroner, held an inquiry at the Doke of York Tavern,
Rateliff, relative to the death of Margaret Miller, aged 38
years. On Saturday morning about 7 o'clock •
constable found found the deceased in Regent-street, Metal!, in
a helpless state and very ill. She was so .2h:sorted that at
first she was unable to se•k, On pirtialli.moossiss..
ebeldrebe had been waft- the streets all night, far she
had no home ; end for two days she had been utterly desti-
tute and without food. The woman was at that time quite
sober. She was removed to the workhouse infirmary,
where she died. Her occupation was, it appears, that
of • laundress, and the only person who spoke to her
identity was a woman named Kenny, living at Palmer's-
folly, who said that she had lost sight of her about a
month ago.
The jurT, acting upon the medical evidence, returned
the following verdict:—" That the deceased was found
insensible and destitute in the public streets, and that
she died from effusion on the brain ; but whether the said
effusion arose from a fall, or blow, or from destitution,
the evidence failed to show."

THE 0143T0/dB PARLIAMENT.
BERLIN, NAY 7.
At to-dyes sitting of the Customs Parliament,
Our address brought in by National Liberals in
veply to the speech from the throne, came on for
debate. Herr von Beningsen, the repenter of the
committee, supported the address, and Baron
Thtingen opposed it. Baron Thungen said that,
in the event of danger from without, the South
Germans would fight side by side with the North
Germans, but the former could not abandon the
position in which they had been placed by treaties,
ea would be the ease if they acceded to the ad-
• dress.

Herr can Blankenburg warmly advocated that
the House should pass to the order of the day,
which was opposed by Herr Bluntschli, who main-
Woad that the Customs Parliament must declare
its Concurrence with the national idea expressed in
the speech from the throne. Only enemies of the
Confederation could vote for the order of the day.
Upon division, it was voted by 186 to 150 that
the house pass to the simple order of the day.

(Before Mr. Baron Chennell.)

Carl Kraut/mien, a foreigner of gentlemanly appearance,
was indicted for unlawfully threatening to publish certain
letters toughing one Louis Effinger, with intent to extort
from him the sum of 4111. He was also charged with
attempting to extort money from Mr. Himmel, perfumer.
Strand.

Mr. Ribton prosecuted, and the prisoner was defended
by Mr. Montagu Williams.
The jury, after a brief deliberation, found the prisoner
Guitty.
Mr. Ribton informed the court that he Lid been tried
for the theft of the securities in Paris in his absence, and
sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. The learned
counsel also stated that a number of reoeipta and docu-
ments belonging to Baron d'Espelets , including the receipts
for the stolen securities, had been found in the prisoner's
possession, and he asked that these should be given to the
police.
Baron Channell said he could not make any order. He
then proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner, and said
that he quite agreed with the verdict. Fortunately for
the prisoner, this was not an attempt to extort money by
threatening to publish letters which imputed • grave or
serious crime. The case, however, was a very bad one, for
while in • friendless condition Mr. Rimmel took him (the
Ml7r) into his service, and put into his hands a num-
letters, from which he (the prisoner) abstracted
such as seemed likely to be • means of annoying Mr.
Rimmel, or the writer, and put them aside to make use of
them as circumstances might require. It was not for him
I (the learned judge) to say, if the indictment for felony
' went on, he would be found guilty of that offence or not,
but at all events he had behaved in a most ungrateful way
to his benefactors, and neder all the circumstances the
' sentence of the court upon him was that he be imprisoned
for six months, with hard labour.
The prisoner appeared to feel his position acutely, and
towards the conclusion of the trial frequently applied his
pocket handkerchief to his eyes.

TILE REGISTRATION BILL.

Before the Registration Bill passes the onleal of a
select committee, the Standard thinks it might be worth
the while of the House to red et whether, in its eagerness
to administer to the ambition of the gentlemen on the
lift hand of the Speaker, it has not brought upon itself
quite unnecessarily the penance of a Christmas session.
The members of the House will have another opportunity,
when the bill returns from out of the hands of the select
committee, for deciding upon the arrangements, and the
Standard trusts that upon calmer reflection they will be
induced to consult rather the convenience of the country
and of themselves than that of those who expect to be
incoming ministers.
London, England, 1868-07-02

CLUB LAW.

TAB Times and the Daily News of this morning
contain letters from a member of the Athenteum
Club, complaining of the circumstances under
which a dinner is to be given there to Mr. LONG-
FELLOW. Earl STANHOPE and other members of
the Atheneum have invited the American author
to dine with them next Monday, and an
intimation has been posted up in the club
to the effect that the ordinary " morning room"
will be required for the banquet. No other public
notice has been given, and the general body of
the club has had no opportunity of joining in
the hospitality to be offered to Mr. Lorroramow.
The natural result is such dissatisfaction as is
expressed by' the newspaper correspondent.
A club is a republic, and no member of it, or
set of members of it, have any right to usurp pri-
vileges over the rest. To monopolise a room for
the purpose of entertaining any man, however
eminent, who is not the guest of the entire club is
a proceeding upon which the ordinary members
should at least have an opportunity of
expressing their opinion. When GAELBA.LDI
was invited to breakfast at the Re-
form Club, a few Roman Catholic members
protested against the outspoken foe of their reli-
gion being received there ; but these were over-
ruled by such an overwhelming majority of their
fellow members that the Italian General was
practically entertained by the club. Again, in
some clubs a room or rooms are in existence in
which a moderately large private party can be
held. A house-dinner at one of these may mean
a banquet on a sufficiently large scale to have a
quasi-public character, and yet be in strict ac-
cordance with club rules. But if, as seems to be
alleged, Earl STANHOPE and some of his friends
at the Athenaeum have appropriated a common
room for a private purpose, every member of
their club left out has a right to feel aggrieved.
The gentleman who complains this morning
chances to be a friend of Mr. LONGFELLOW of
thirty years' standing; but though this probably
aggravates his sense of personal annoyance, it does
not affect the principles of the case. Either the
Atheneum Club is entertaining the American poet
or it is not. If it is, the members generally
should be allowed the chance of being his hosts,
if not, Earl STANHOPE should have given his
party to him at Chevening or in Grosvenor-place.

THE

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-('ruf DAY.)

COllitT OF CHANCERY.
THS °RPM OP BUBINEB9.
Almost immediately after Vice-Chancellor Matins had
taken his seat in Chancery this morning he announced
that he had a communication to make to the bar which he
iiled should be made generally known. As the last
seal day of the present term would be the 28th of July,
and as it was not usual to take causes after that seal day
was over, he said he was anxious that the bar and
the public should understand that after the 28th
iiwtaut ho would take all the motions and petitions
which were then remaining for settlement, and that
if they were numerous enough to occupy the time of the
court lie would continue to sit from day to day, to dispose
of them up to the sth of August. But it was desirable
a1.,0 to state that he had made up his mind not to sit after
the let of August— the day when the long vacation ought
wally to commence in all the chancery exurb—unless it
e al bolutely necessary so to do.
r. as the senior member of the bar present,
thunkod his honour for his courtesy in making the au-
lIOUIICUIIOIIt, and the business of the court proceeded.

VIE lINIYF.ESITIEB BITS.

Mr. Coleridge's bill, which was Carried by so
triumphant a majority last night, is, awolding to the
Lally News, the logical completon of the educational
legislation of modern times. Henceforth, that is if the
bill become law, no man shall have a disability put on him
at the university on account of his religious creed. His
splendid accomplishments, his brilliant attainments, his
long and honourable toil, shall nut henceforth go for
nothing because he cannot as a conscientious man set his
hand to the Thirty-nine Articles of the Anglican Church.
If he has deserved the highest honours of the university
he shall have them, for the labourer is worthy of his hire.
The present Howe of Commons has done much for
ecclesiastical and social justice in its closing years, and the
measure which it approved yesterday is not the least of
those which it shall have left stamped with its dying
approval to its more vigorous and more powerful
successor.

The Times points out that, although the second
reading of the bill was carried by so large a ma-
jority, yet it cannot but be regarded as dead, so far DP
the present session is concerned. Dc ays have been ia-
terpmed, the single object of the opposition being to save
the Lords frcm the odium of rejecting the bill this yepr
as they rejected it last session, and for this purpose they
have abused, and are ready to abuse, the forms of parlia-
mentary procedure to the utmost The course they pursue
is dangerous, and the end they seek to attain is trifling.
The present House of Commons has pledged itself again
and again in favour of the measure, and there is
nothing but the House of Lords stopping the
way. The history of the sessions of 1867 and 1868
will present many puzzles to the historian of the future,
but one of the greatest difficulties he will be Called upon
to explain will be the conduct of those who, after Owing
up the possession of power to a class before excluded from
_ . .

. .
it, continued to speak and to act as if the privileges they
hod previously defended could remain intact after they had
voluntarily abdicated them.
Mr. Melly told the house yesterday that he hail once
met in the Fame room four young English dissenters who
were to inherit between them four millions and a half of
fleecy, and who had never beer at Oxford or Cambridge.
Is that, rays the Tr/trap/4, a healthy state of thinkoi? Is
it well that so much of the national wealth should be
diti-evend rem the national culture P Or can we woider
that, when it is thus dissevered, cultivated foreigners
should taunt us with the Philistinism of our political
asst Oilier? Happily, the country is at last awakening to
the scandal of giving the members of one religious deno-
minatit u the niottopoly of the highest culture at the
exle•nse of MI the other sects.

A RIVAL OF CHLOROFORM.

LAUOUrNO-OAS has lately been applied to far
more useful purposes than those from which it
derives its name. Until recently it has seldom
been inhaled without admixture of air. The tube
or tap of a bag containing the gas has been taken
between the lips, and alter a few inspirations per-
fect control over the muscles of the month has
ceased. The individual has thus breathed air as
well as gas, the result being boisterous hilarity,
purposeless antics, pngi Bade movements, or other
abnormal performances. If, however, the gas be
inhaled by aid of an appropriate mask,
fitting closely over the mouth and nose,
with valved openings for ingress and egress,
and thus air be excluded, the patient in a
few seconds becomes totally insensible, slightly
livid in the face, and breathes with a snoring
noise. At this moment an operation may be com-
menced and continued for two or three minutes
without pain or unpleasantness being experienced.
The chief advantage attending this use of the pure
gas is that within half a minute or a minute the
person operated on regains perfect consciousness
without any of the disagreeable effects which fre-
quently follow the employment of chloroform. The
main practical disadvantage is that its influence
soon ceases, and recovery must be allowed before
inhalation can be safely continued. Hence, at
present, it :bee been almost exclusively used in
dental operations. In these cases great success
has attended its administration in most of the Lon-
don hospitals, and still more in America. So
early as 1847 Drs. MORTON and JACKSON, of the
United States, performed operations with the aid
of laughing-gas, but discontinued its use on find-
ing that ether was more efficacious; ether was
soon superseded by chloroform, which still holds
its ground as the best agent for producing pro-
longed insensibility, but which now, for minor
surgical operations, is fast being supplanted by
the original anaesthetic.

TUE tone of the Conservative papers this morn-
ing gives probability to the report that a consider-
able number of the ministerial members intend to
try and defeat the Registration Bill, in order to
postpone the dissolution of Parliament till next
year. It is calculated that nearly one-third of the
present House of Commons will not return, and
these gentlemen are naturally indifferent to what
takes place in the matter of the elections. Others
dislike the idea of losing the recess, and of canvass-
ing in the autumn. There will also be an attempt
in the House of Lords to reverse the decision of the
House of Commons with regard to the Boundary
Bill. Their lordships are said to be up in their
stirrups after their division on the Irish Mural.

GREAT ORANGE DEMONSTRATION Ei

ULSTER.

BELFAST, WEDNESDAY
To-day one of the greatest protestant open-air
demonstrations held in Ulster for the last quarter
of a century took place in a field at Lisburn, eight
miles from Belfast. The meeting was under the
patronage of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland.
Fifteen thousand persons were present, the
majority being dressed in the insignia. The
speakers were all Orangemen, and the established
church was defended, and the Party Processions
Act condemned. All passed off quietly.
Our Dublin correspondent states that an Orange
demonstration was held at Lisburn yesterday; 7,000
present, Wm. Beere, in the chair; chief speakers,
Rev. Dr. Drew, Wm. Johnston, of Ballylrilberg ;
Archdeacon of Down, and Stewart Blacker. Two
policemen who swore against Johnston were
mobbed and fled to the railway station, but were
rescued by Montgomery of the Royal Marines, and
sixty armed policemen. The escort, however, was
met by another angry crowd, and theßiot Act was
read twice before order was restored. No further
disturbance.
