BRUT.4I MURDER NE.IR ALTRINCILIM.

Early yesterday morning, a murder was coin
matted uear Altrincham, under the moat atrocious &cum-
etances. The unfortunate victim is a young man
named Thomas Jenkinson, aged 34, foreman at a
tile and brick works, very much respected in the
neighbourhood. It appears that a gang of Irish
farm labourers had been drinking in Altrincham on
Saturday evening. About midnight they proceeded up
Long-lane on their way to Bingwey, evidently intent upon
mischief. They armed themselves with brickbats, and tore
down palings as the went along, attacking several persons,
whom they met. A fanner named John Belford, and
another can, John Yesford, were both wounded, but
escaped without very serious injury. Having proceeded up
the road about three-quarters of a mile, near Claremont
House, they encountered Thomas Jenkinson and two
youths named John Folkner and Ward, who were
ou their way to commence mushroom gathering at day-
break. Without any provocation the gang of ruffians,
consisting of ten or twelve, set upon Jenkinson, and
battered in his head with bricks and palings. Death must
have ensued almost isitantansentsly. The two youths fled,
and gave tke alarm to the police in Altrinduint. Superin-
tendent Andrews and Sergeant Dulton, with assistants,
were seen on the track of the murderers. Some of them
were apprehended, s., 7.. • r.?• is: the outbuildings of the
neighbouring farms, and -.me were Ulcer' in Altrincham.
Three were apprehended near Lymm, through the timely
informatism of a cabman, who happened to have hears
of the murder, and was ott the alert. One of the ruffians
was scented by Superintendent Andrews, after a desperate
resistant*. Sergeant Dalton was also the means of
capturing another sender similar circumstances. It
appears that the two youths referred to will be able to
identify at least seven of the prisoners. The police were
all day scouring the country en scarab of the remainder of
the gang. The murder has produced a feeling of intense
honor in the district. —Abrachevirt Exem;&•r.

FEES TO RAILWAY PORTERS:

OF course it is a very wrong thing to fee railway
porters. Don't we all allow the fault even while
we commit it ? No doubt this sort of bribery is
demoralising both to giver and receiver, but what
remedy is there for the evil ? A sensitive man
does not like to be thought lees generous than his
neighbours. He may resist the temptation at a
station where he is unknown, but he has not nerve
enough to resist it at a station or terminus where
his face and name are familiar. Nothing,
indeed, will be said by the servant who has obliged
him by carrying a portmanteau or hamper to the
carriage, but there is a language in the looks, and
even a railway porter can send a gentleman to
Coventry. It is evident the porters will not,
under the present arrangement, decline receiving
a fee, and that they laugh to scorn the risk of
detection, and the staring notice of " instant
" dieinissal." Indeed, we suspect that there is little
risk in the case. But what if the passenger who
gave money to a guard or porter were to be fined
for so doing ? Even the significant looks of an
unrequited porter might be preferable to a fine of
40e. Take another suggestion. Passengers who
break any laws of a railway company are liable to
have theirmisdeeds postedup atetations. The same
system might be pursued with advantage in the
case of official delinquents. If a few porters, de-
tected in the act, were dismissed for receiving
money, and the fact were officially announced,
the effect upon the consciences of railway servante
might be highly beneficial.

TO POINT A MORAL.

Ora acute and thoughtful contemporary, the
Spectator, has. we think, somewhat misinterpreted
the moral of that story (which we have every rea-
son to believe authentic) of the counter-orders to
General DE FAILLY two hours before the battle of
Montana. It appears to us to show that the chief
of a great military empire, when he does not hap-
pen to be himself a born or a trained soldier,
is liable in emergencies to become not so
much the master as the servant of the legions
which have set up and sustained his throne. We
l.•]ieve as heartily and sincerely as any of his ad-
mirers that Loris NAPOLEON desires to be a man
of peace. His personal recollections of the battle-
fields of golferino and Magenta can hardly be such
as to urge him to n peat the experience. But may
not the time arrive when an army of six hundred
thousand men, commanded by active and ambi-
tious generals, thoroughly equipped with the
Chassepot, sick of camps and barracks, and pant-
ing for adventure and glory, will have to be hurled
across the frontier, lest it burst like a shell in its
ma-ter's hand

1 tiAi general looseness of attire—that perfect
freedom from all restraint which, in the opinion of
many persons, forms the chief charm of life at the

following notice which is hung up in nearly all
the apartments of une of the principal Brighton

bI'ELLIVI IN FRJN(J.

THE Tiinta of this morning has an article on
duelling in France, apropos of the recent
encounter between PAUL us CASBAONAC
and M. LISSM•ARAY. With the general tenor
of our contemporary's remarks all English
readers will be disposed to agree. Even our
neighbours—with whom these •' affairs of honour "
are AA common as they were in England fifty years
ago, and who can hardly write a play without a
collision of foils or pistols between the principal
characters, usually the husband and lover of the
heroine—are in their calmer and lee. dramatic
momenta as capable as the coolest Englishman of
philosophising on the folly and absurdity of seek-
ing satisfaction for an insult by standing with
your back to a dead wall to be shot at,
or making a pincushion of your thorax
for an unbuttoned foil. But French nature
is not English nature, and what is bar-
barous on one side of the Straits of Dover is
still chivalrous on the other. Civilisation,
which has softened the natural fierceness
of mankind, has not ye•t killed by law,
or by ridicule, or by change of manners,
the appeal to arms in private quarrels in any
country on the continent of Europe. There are
probably more Frenchmen at the present time
who are prepared to put an end to standing
armies and abolish war—not to speak of capital
punishment for murder—than to do away with
the rapier and the pistol in private quarrels.
Duelling is, in fact, a relic of the ancien regime,
and as very much of the ancien rOgietre still exists
in France under other names, the only
modification of the practice of duelling which
eighty years of revolution have effected is that
whereas before 1759 a nobleman would not fight
a roturier, but simply smack his face, and, if he
resisted, have him trounced by a couple of stout
lacquer), our neighbours are now in possession of
complete equality in this respect, and one French-
man's honour is as good as anther's. Since the
restoration of the Empire duelling has increased
in proportion as public and private liberty has
diminished. In a countrydivided against itself, into
functionaries and courtiers on one side and
prescripts and malcontent, on the other, duel-
ling is, on the part of the Imperialists, a sort of pri-
vate and personal application of the rule of the
sabre, while on the part of the malcontents it is one
of the few vents or safety-valves of a bursting in-
dignation and contempt. If these considerations,
which we believe to be indisputable, had been

present to our contemporary, we are inclined to

think that he would have fOreberno to wtito the
following sentence :—" Well may the Etn-
'' 1;4.1 OT NAPOLEON hehitatc hefon he allows
" the French i.eoplc tincolitrulled utterance
"of opinion." These miserable duels, of which
we hear too much, are taking 'darr in a country

CAB MASTERS AND CABDRIVERS.

Wu= cabmasters and cabdrivers are making a
silence in the streets, and enjoying, man and
horse, the luxury of a strike, which often falls so
hard on the poor wife and family, let us endeavour
to look at the case from their own point of view,
or rather from the point of view of their real in-
terests, as they appear to a dispassionate inquirer.
It is tolerably obvious. from the frequent strikes
and incessant agitation in the cab trade, that
there is something amiss with it besides what the
public sees. Within the last few months we have
bad a strike against the introduction of lamps
and another against the exclusion of certain cabs
from certain railway stations. We had besides,
meetings to denounce the hackney carriage duty,
and a meeting, consisting solely of cabmen, to
protest against the masters levying from them an
extra shilling per diem on pretence of tho
abolition of sixpenny fares by the Act of last
session. This last occasion was the only symptom
of any divergence of interest between the masters
and nien, and it was speedily bushed up, we know
not on what terms. At all the other meetings the
two parties have been, to all appearance, quite
unanimous, and have agreed on common measures
against the conunon enemy, whether that enemy
was the Government or the Railway Companies.
We do not stop now to point out that
in all cases the public has been the victim, and
that extreme public inconvenience has been the
weapon with which the cab interest has sought to
enforce its ends. Our purpose just now is rather
to inquire what the cab interest really is, and
what is the secret taint in ita constitution which
breaks out thus incessantly into monster meetings
and strikes.

The whole trade may for the most part be
divided into the two classes of cabowners and cab-
drivers. A few owners drive their own cabs, but
many even of those who do have other cabs which
are let out to be driven by other men. in this
system of letting there lies the general system of
the trade. A eabowner hires out, to a driver certi-
ficated by the police as competent, the use of a cab
and two horses per diem. For this he receives a
daily rent, averaging, we believe, according to the
season, from 14e. to 16s. for a four-wheeler, and
from 15s. to 18s. for a Hansom. The driverbecomes

bound to pay this amount whether he earns it or
not, and all he earns beyond it forms his own wages
or profit. It is of course a lottery. He
has the chance of making a good deal more,
particularly if the weather be wet, or if there be
any great public pees, or if he be lucky in getting
liberal or ignorant fares. This hope buoys Win
up, even when he has fallen back in his payment's,
and has arrears to make up to his master. But it
is for the most part a delusive one. It leads him
to offer more for the lave of the cub and horses than

THZ SCOTCH MONA MU.

Mentioning a report that Kr. Disraeli is now prepared to
give the Scotch members ten seats instead of seven, the
Daily News repeats the constitutional and political objec-
tions raised to the ministerial proposal, and capture its
belief that the majority of the Scottish members support
Mr. Baxter in his proposal that whatever new members ►re
fairly needed by that part of the country shall be procured
by disfranchisement of the petty English villages which
have lea than 5,000 inhabitants. Thom who kaow the
very strong national feeling which has for many year.
rex-toted in Scotland respecting the injustice done to her in
the matter of representation, will appreciate the public
I spirit which leads the liberals of that part of the country
thus to decline a moosesion of their rights on the terms
of doing the cause al representative government a wrong.
If Scotland has anything to oak for in the way of improved
legislation, then every vote she leaves to the small bo-
roughs is an adverse vote. Those who accept Mr. Disraeli's
offer in this matter are deliberately preserving the efficacy
of the votes by which the Irish Church is maintained, by
whish education is hampered and retarded, by which pur-
chase in the army is continued, by which the game laws
are upheld, by which taxation is kept at a 1111LAJMU111.

MX L/BiltAL POLICY.

Returning to Mr. BOUTOTillell speech, the Telegraph in-
Efate that Mr. Madam* is the leader of the liberal party,
first by the unanimous choice of the oeuutry, which also
chooses his followers ; next by his consummate poltial
and pasonal gifts; and lastly by the hearty adhesion of
all that large section of the opposition which will survive
household soft rap to me the new house assemble. The
ministry is pledged to continue the series of "trial:,
liberal measures," sad the liberals hare to see that the

measures answer to the pledge, making them do so if they
fail. It is absolutely mosewary for honest men, ou prin-
ciple, and for the less earnest, from prudential motives,
that there should be an rod to the mutinous folly of the
pest year. All those who wish the nation to count them
as true liberals must forthwith advance to Mr. Gladstone's
side, and stand ready to fight there not less honestly than
he himself means to fight.

WINDING IT

To-day before the Chief Clerks a number of grinding up
natters were heard. It seems that in the year ending
November last there were 378 public companies
iaunder
winding up orders, and the Rolls Chamber had the
number. In the year the calls made amounted
4,4K,Wi1f., and the moonlit paid to creditors 7,310,43 W.
By the 14th instant the of vial liquidators are to tile evi-
dence of their claim for remuneration during the present
sit wags.

ROLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Rolls.)
Ea !4ARLBOROCOH CLUB COMPANY (LIMITLD).
This company is being wound up, and in settling the list
of contributories the chief clerk, acting in his view of the
foist and 74th secs. of the Companies Act, had placed on
the but the names of shareholders whose shares were full
paid up, but who, as7members, were indebted to the club
upon other considerations, such as articles supplied to
them, law. The club was what is termed • proprietary
club. The question came before the court from chambers.
His lordship to-day gave judgment, saying—This is an
application of an entirely novel description. It is to make
a supplemental list of contributories, in order to enforce
deem due from shareholders in the company to the corn-
palsy, the shares being fully paid up. I never beard of
such • supplemental list. The 101st motion of the Com-
panies Act, 186'2, does not anticipate a settling on the list
of contributories for the express purpose of enabling the
recovery of debts due to she company by shareholders. I
think, therefore, that the official liquidator must proceed
to enforce the payment of these debts in the usual way.
The costs of both parties will be costs in the winding up.
Mr. Marten and Mr. Cracknell were for the several
parties.

MR. DISRAELI'S LITTER.

In acquitting Mr. Disraeli of the fault of boast-
ing, of which he had been accused, the Tines is driven to
recognise that his statement as it now stands is deficient
in every element of accuracy. Of the five things which the
conservative 'arty, he alleges, were taught between the
years 1856 and 1866, there is really but one that
can be mid to have been learnt in this
interval, and that is th►t the borough franchise
should be based on rating; but Mr. Disraeli himself de-
clared on another occasion that this truth was apprehended
by the " unerring instinct" of the House of Commons. It
is very unlucky that the thing he did not say, and men
thought he bad mid, was accurate, while the things he
did say, and men gave him no credit for, were inaccurate.
The situation is embarrassing, and in the dilemma thu
presented it is difficult to determine which horn is the
leas acceptable. On the whole, the Times thinks, with
the greatest respect for Mr. Disraeli, and owing
the too probable laxity of our own virtue, that it would
have preferred to let the matter rest where it was. It is
not easy to get rid of a fable which has so much truth in
it as that which represented him in a boastful mood at
Edinburgh ; and in the attempt to do what he cannot
hope to succeed in accomplishing the new Premier has
drawn attention to a string of inaccuracies which had
passed unnoticed. To be arrogant is, after all, not the
highest of crimes, especially when your friends have con-
doned it, and Mr. Disraeli's defence is only another proof
of the dangerous facilities of pens, ink, and paper.
The Post says it is an unprecedented occurrence for a
Prime Minister to vindicate his policy, or the accuracy of
statements made by him in an official capacity, in a letter
communicated to the daily press. At Edinburgh Mr. Dis-
raeli said that he educated hie party ; in his recent letter
that they had been educated. The latter expression is
more consistent with truth. Mr. Disraeli, in common
with his followers, had been educated ; that is, taught that
parliamentary reform could no longer be opposed, and
accordingly, when in office, he, in order to retain office,
persuaded them to swallow at a gulp a measure which
they would have rejected, and rightly rejected, with dig-
dais if it had been offered to them by their opponents.
The Star quotes from several of Mr. Disraeli's speeches,
delivered between 1859 and 1867, in which he defended
the 101. limit, and protested against giving any strength to
a household democracy. As late as 1865 he declared that
the suffrage in any extension must remain a privilege and
not a right, and the privilege was to be gained not by living
in a house, but by virtue, by intelligence, by industry, by
integrity, and to be exercised for the common good. No
small requitemeats these! How very privately, even in
1865, the education was carried on !

The Dmcs urges the necessity of snob an appoint-
ment to the Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland as shall coo-
ciliate Irish opinion, and at the same time illustrate
the general policy of the administration in the domestic
government of the sister island. Our contemporary can-
not believe that there is any difficulty in finding a person
suitable for the office and willing to undertake it, except
PO for as it may have arisen from a false step already half
taken; and it that be the case, it is impossible to insist
too strongly upon the propriety, or rather the necessity,
of correcting an error at whatever cost of annoyance to
persons one would be unwilling to pain, rather than
involve the government in injurious consortium through
fatal persistency in a first mistake.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCTILPeT2n, Dec. 9.
°reeve Jenkins was indicted for the commission of •
burglary with violenee in the Isle of Wight.
Mr. (limner prosecuted.
This was • somewhat singular case. The prisoner was
• chimney-sweep, and the prosecutrix a widow lady resid-
ing at Wellington-house, Voutuor, with her thew ser-
vants. They all went to bed on the night of November 4,
leaving the premises quite safe. About 12 o'clock Mrs.
Groves was disturbed by hearing, first, a smodlisff of glass
down stairs, followed by the footsteps of someone ascend-
ing the staircase who brought with him the Lionise
tobacco. The intruder catered her bedroom, and she at
once shouted out to her servants in the nest room. The
burglar upon that jumped on the bed and did his best to
suffocate Mrs. Ureves, who was prevented from shouting
then by the pressure of sheets, Ito. Eventually he put his
lingers into her mouth and received some revere bites.
This afforded Mrs. therm a chance of shouting, and
then the cook entered the room with a lighted candle,
by means of which Mrs. (droves swore clearly to the pn-
roner's face and dram He struck the cook, put out the
light, and made hlssscapu through the sitting-room win-
dow, gum which stains of blood were discovered,
evidently the result of the bite inflicted on prisoner, who
entered by opening the pantry window, beneath which
on a dresser were found the marks of sooty feet, and out-
side the house a rweep'e brush, which was shown to be
the prisoner's, as also was a cap found in Mrs. Groves'
bedroom. Nothing was stoke out utrix was some-
what bruised and very much —indeed, she offered
her assailant anything if he would avoid injuring her.
Prisoner was proved to have a cut an his hand the morn-
ing subsequent to the attack en Mrs. Groves, when ho
was arrested iu a state of intoxication.
