TUE CESAREWITCH.

The prophets of the sporting papers devote their
attention this morning chiefly to the probable remnant the
laze for the Cesarewiteh. Barr the takes its stmt on
Lode I:aglan and Blutwkin. and thinks that Nelusko will
1. at the remainder of the Fivnclt team and run forward.
11. liewever, there be a " genuine surprise" it may be oe-
‘ iudoned by " turned-loose Special." "Touchstone" of
the Fro looks for the winner in Blue.kin or Cecil,
rid expects to see Blue Gown Vtli the best of the Oa!lic
1...ni struggling for places. "Augur" of the
I.tr selects Blueskin mud Lady Raglan, and think. the
stiticele for places will be between Blue Gown and War-
r.ugton ; while "Vigilant" of th• Spqrtinnan niskys a
eho.ce of Blue Gown and Lady Magian. Should the
be I.uiten he thinks it will be by Nelusko. The " Wirxrd"
of the wane journal places the horses in the following order :
Lady Raglan, 1; Titul Jones, 2 ; Blue Gown. 3; and et-
peets toece Mereuryand Iflueekin in the ling tight. "Censor"
of the Sleeting Gazette has a preference for Lady Raglan
and Cecil, and thinks that eta place investments there may
be nothing better than the two Frenchmen.

Arrewrco.—lt will be seen from our reports of yester-
day's betting that this popular Flwm mare, who has been
so conspicuousa favourite for the Ccsarewitch,was, without
ant warning-note, Pent to the extreme Acts of 1,000 to 10.

Heathy, to had harked her, on tilt for upwards of 800/.
«'rbelo ve that she has gone amis., as slut' did prior to the
Ch, ~ter Cup this spring. and it is found impomilde to send
her to Newmarket for her next week's ongazement. This
is u vexatious disappointment, not only for hor owner.

A PILOT BOAT BUN POW.V.

SOUTHAMPTON, S trrnn tT.

A fatal collision occurred in the Channel last
tight, as the Peninsular an I Oriental steamer Syria was
ill her wuy to Southampton from Gibraltar. At
n.. the Syria stopped off Durstone Point.
zn d took a pi lot en board ; at 7.15 she
otted her helm to reortter pilot ratter. which was
en her pert bow, the c atter being on the starboard
Wile the cutter was close to the steamer on the port Mw
si.e tacked, and seeing that a collision was inevitable, the
engines were stopped. The cutter struck the steamer on
the ! Ott snit*. the port paddle-wheel going, over her, and
she Sunk irnmeirately. A boat was lowered, which pulled
round the fragmrnta of the wreck—but no signs of a human
being could be seem ; the boat returned to the Syria, and
finding that any further search for them was useless, she
proceei.ed en her voyage at H.• 5 p.m. The Syria was at
the time steering E.N.E., wind E.N.E., right ahea I.
The cutter was a Cowes pilot-boa•. No. 43, and the
pilot in charge of the Syria, James Andrews, is the uncle
of the unfortunate pilot on board the ill-fated vessel.
It is supposed there ware four persons on board, all of
whom have, of course, lost their lives.—ri rats (second

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The revolution in Spain is, nays the Lombm Re-
fine., undoubtedly the most important ono that has taken
place in Europe since that which !vaulted in the expulsion
of LAIL,. Philippe from France. During the last few yeses
that country Las in many ways shown signs of a rev,v4l,
:aid the present almost peaceful revolt is perhaps the most
cons...ming proof that the land of Ferdinand and Isabella
has not lost all its ancient dignity and strength.
Yet it cannot lie denied that a very perilous pith
now lies before it. The revolution is in the hands of at
least three different parties, and, though they ecislesti.al to
distioy, they may not be equally willing to lay aside rt.
sonal judousissi and rival views in the establishment of
government to succeed that which has now passed into the
limbo of discarded monarchies. A republic is talked of by
some ; but that form of government appears unfitted to
the Spanish potpie, if, indeed, it is suited to any great
European power; and so, unless the revolution should
suddenly develop • Cromwell or Bonaparte capable of
seizing the helm, it may be that there will be no choice
but to give the Bourbons another chance of failure.
Upon the question of the Spanish succession, the S If ur-
day Iterieso remarks that the first and most prossiug ques-
tion is whether a republic is to be tried ; and experience
shows that it is not at all certain not to be tried merely
because nine-tenths of the wealth, intelligence, and
population of Spain are against it. A knot of deter-
mined and ardent republicans may fors* on a republic for
a time simply by having a clear and determined purpose,
while the monarchical party either beano monarch to sup-
port, or doubts, distrusts, or despises the monarch it has
got. But it is scarcely possible that so many men of
political experience have taken part in this insurrection
entirely on chance, and without any idea of the monarch
they should wish to have if they succeeded in getting rid
of the Bourboue. If so, the secret will soon be known,
and a very iutcr•rting secret it will be.
Considering the proposal which has been mule for
transferring the management of railways to the control
of the government, the Eosins, without expressing any
positive opinion on the subject, thinks that the question is
ripe for discussion, and that either by that or some other
means a thorough reform of our railway system must, ere
long, be brought about.
The Apertefor observes that those writers are doing the
new parliament a very ill turn, to say nothing of the bad
taste and ill-breeding of the proceeding, who, by endea-
vouring to hold up working-class candidates to ridicule
for their origin, for the dropped his of their friends, or
their own awkward turns of expression, endeavour
to turn the balance of electoral favour against
them. Ti the participation of squires, manufacturers,
landowners, and members of the legal profession,

THE POLICE COURTS.

BOW-B'l REBT.
Sixteen owners, or reputed ownen, of dogs, were
summoned for not having taken out license' for keeping
those aniniels, in compliance with the recent statute.
Mr. Marshall, of the solicitor" of Board of Inland
Revenue,conducted the cases.
Most f the defendants urged in mitigation that t!ieZ
were not aware of the new regulations—that they had
I aid the asses eel tai under the former statute, and were
not aware that any license was required—that they had
expected the collector to call as formerly. and del not
know that they were bound to apply for licenses ; and
ether similar carcumstaucen, amounting substantially to
pleas of ignorance.
Mr. Vaughan had no option but to impose the penalties,
which, however, he had power to mitigut.i from 6!. to
11. 65., boiug one-fourth. The defendants, however,
might petition the board for a further reduction, stating
the whole of the circumstances, which no doubt the board
would take into account. Ile imputed the mitigated
penalty of 26e. in each case.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
Mr. Joseph Matthew Morris, proprietor of the New
York Hotel, Leicester-sqiiare, undervreut another eza-
ninuatiou before Mr. Tvrwhitt, on a charge of attempting
to obtain the sum of 2,;d0/. from the Uusligl.t and Coke
Com} iniy, for alleged losses at the fire at Savile !louse.
Mr. Morgan appeared for the preecutiou; and Mr.
Edward Lewis for the defence.
l.vidence in addition to that which was given on the
previous examinations was now adduced on tn.. part of
the prosecution. The ease, however, could not be com-
pleted, owing to the absence of some important witnesses
whom Mr. Morgan intended to call. The prisouer was
therefore once more remanded.
WEbTMINSTER.
Geofinan, a middle-aged woman, with an infant
:n her aims, was charged with being di uuk nud incapable
of taking care of herself and child.
l'olice-constable William l'age said he wee near I'ant-
low-square, Chelsea, when ho heard a child cry, and a
timely voice exclaim, "Can't I do as I like with my own
Child t" Ile went to the spot, and en a step in the
square found the defendant sitting down.
Defendant—lleur me, I was sitting on the pavement
giving my dear child the breast.
l'olinecoreitable—The people around told me that the
cry and exclamation 1 heard was caused by the deteniant
throwing her child upon the ground, and asserting her
right to do as she pleased with it. Finding a large crowd
a‘sinibled I asked her to move, but she ab rood me. I
examined the child, and did not think it was hurt.
liehxdant—Dear infant! I was a-suckling of it.
relict mau—l found when she at last got up that she
was drunk and incapable, and so I took her into custody.
Defendant—l should have gone on, bet I wit down to
give the dear infant the breast ; that was all, your wor-
ship. 1 hope you will forgive me.
Mr. 14el'e— I never forgive women who get drunk with
infants in their arms. on are tined as-, or seven days.

NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Ocr. 2.
The Duke of Cambridge reviewed the troops in
garrison ou Southsea-common to-day. The maireuvres
were those usually incidental to a fleld-daTi,t and were
gone through to the satisfaction of his royal • hams, in
the presence of a large number of visitors. uring the
evolutions a gunner in the Royal Marine Artillery wee
taken ill in the ranks, and died almost immediately, as is
supposed, of heart-burn. The same man complained of
being ill during the sham light on Portadown-
bill on the previous day. An accident of a
somewhat serious nature occurred to Colonel Macdonald,
of the 13th Regiment (from Gosport) upon the same ace-
line. The horse ridden by the gallant colonel became
restive, took flight and bolted at a rapid pace round the
common. The animal came in contact with a post near
the Queen's Hotel, and was thrown to the ground, its
rider being severely shaken. At the close of the inspec-
tion the 33rd Regiment was called to the front and com-
plimented by bis royal Highness on their safe return from
Allyieinia. Tim duke bad en interview with Lady Raglan,
who is staying at the Queen's Hotel, and afterwards left

feeling betwem this country and the United States of
Amenca to learn that Mr. lteverdy Johnson, the new re-
resentative of the American government at the Court of St.
James, has accepted an invitation from the American
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool to be present ate ban-
quet to be given on Thursday, the 22nd inst. Lord Stanley
has also consented to be present. and will, in all proba-
bility, give some explanation of the steps which have been
taken to secure an amicable settlement of the Alabama
difficulty. The occasion will doubtless he one of some in-
terest ar d importance, inasmuch as it will afford an oppor-
tunity of exhibiting that friendly spirit towards a repre-
sentative of the American people which lies at the basis of
all well regulated intercourse between the two nations.
TILE NEW ATLANTIC CABLE. A notification
was yesterday received at Chatham Dockyard, to the
effect that the Great F.astern steamship may be expected
to arrive in the Medway to-day, to take up her former
moorings, near Saltpan Reach, in readiness for receiving
on board the new Atlantic cable, about to be submerged
between France and America. One of the officials con-
fleeted with the undertaking was yesterday in conunuui-
cation with the naval and dockyard authorities for the
necessary assietance to be rendered in mooring the great
ship— a request, it is almost needless to say, which was at
once promised to be complied with.

THE EA hiIiQUA tile.

Tit?. hope that there might be some exaggera-
tion in the terrible flocs brought from South
America by telegraph is wholly dissipated by the
details published in 'last night's F..rpresa. The
earthymtke ie euly really hniponwl, but its
horrors have been sneh that the mind has diffi-
culty in bringing them clearly home. That entire
ities together with forty thotsecind people have
been destroyed without warning and in a few
instants of time, is a feet so terrific that we cast
about vainly for some familiar simile to bring the
bard truth clearly out. Let the reader stand in
any busy thoroughfare till hc• counts a thousand
fc.:.t-paere•nge•rs who have passed by ; or let him
think of the ALI rgele Ikt:idea% and the lives lost
M it, and then turn to this 'ample statement:

'llibtowns of Iberia. ,api•al of the Province of Imba-
lure, San Pablo, Atuntaqui. lteautld, &c., are in reins.
Where Cototachi was is now a lek.. In lbarra, (Koval*
and Cotoceschi almost the entire population has perished.
In Quito the earthquake and its effects have been propor-
tionately lees, but the buildings are so much injured that
the slightest movem•:ut will throw them down. There are
already in ruin the church and couvent of San Agustin,
the two churches of Stunts del Carmen, the towers of the
cathedral end San Marcoe, the college of San Luis, &e.
The towers of the other churchem, the government palace,
and many private house, hATO been all cracked, and are
momentarily threatening to fell to pieces. The towns
adjoining Quito, as Pere.eho. Nellie°, and Caebigusajo,
Live ahnoet entiri ly disappeared.

There is a pathetic film plieity about the phrase
" where Cotocachi wad," and in the announcement
f towns entirely disappearing, which almost takes
away the breath. Think of the profound sadness
which would fall on this city if a single street or a
single house, full of act iv,• busy life, were suddenly
swept away ; think of Fleet-street and

THEATRICAL LEICESTER-SQUARE.

Tns appetite for new theatres means not to he
satisfied by the erection of the New Queen's in
Long-acre, and there is every probability of
Leicester square and its immediate neighbourhood
being turned before long into a theatrical market-
place. The centre of the square, which is,, been
wrested by law proceedings from the improving
I grasp of the Metropolitan Board of Works, they
or may not be devoted to an opera-house or s
theatre, but, in the meantime, it is held to he in
somewhat the same legal position as any one of
the commons round London,—that is, it may he
built upon at any moment that the lord of the
manor and the copyholders can agree upon the
matter. If the centre, however, is safe
for a time at least, as an open apace
—(it is too small for an opera-house,
though large enough for a second-rate theatre)
the borders, if we are to credit general
rumour, are more likely to be immediately appro.
priated for theatrical purposes. Negotiations have
been for some time in progress for the purchase of
the old and now deserted Sablonni4re Hotel,
which stands at the south-east corner of the
square, and was once the residence of the great
painter HOOMITH. The intending purchasers are
a popular dramatist, a popular novelist, and their
friends, and the design of the purchasers is to con.
vert it at once into a theatre. The position at
present is not everything that could be wished,
but the prospects are encouraging. If the
new street from St. Martin's Church to Ox-
ford street should be constructed in the
line intended by the Metropolitan Ljezd
of Words, the Sablonnike will then be left
in an advantageous corner position. Simulta-
neously with these negotiations, others are in
progress for the purchase of the site of Saville
House, the object being to construct a first-dm
playhouse on that spot. Shortly after the tire in
the spring of 1865, which destroyed that building,
the various holdeis of the property demanded
something like 48,0001. for the freehold--a
price that frightened several theatrical proprie-
tors of that period. The terms now may be
lighter, but in any case it is confidently
stated that a very well known impreet, is and
the chairman of a great Hall company have
almost completed the purchase. A site in Tich-
borne.street is also spoken of as an "eligible'
and probable place for another theatre, and it has
been carefully surveyed several times for this pur-
pose during the last four years. Things are much
changed in the neighbourhood of Leicester-square
since Mr. J. B. BucKsroin tried to get up a
theatre in that quarter, and gave up the at
tempt before getting beyond the prospectus.

This amendment meets the resolutions with a direct bar
to their peening, end will prevent honourable gentlemen
from raising any side issue. But, although it goes strongly
and frankly in the face of the liberal party, it is so far a
gain that it acknowledges the urgency of the question
mooted by Mr. Gladstone, and virtually endorses the
undertaking to follow up the debate with action. Nay,
while it pledges the government to deal with the ques-
tion on the assembling of the new parliament, it also
leaves Mr. Oladatone still more emphatically pledged.
Even should the amendment be carried, and his

meat. Thai, either now or s few months hence, the
battle must be fought on the broad issue which has
been raised. Meanwhile, the duty of Liberal members
is to support Mr. Gladstone's resolutions against Lord
Stanley's amendment ; for, in the eyes of the country at
the next election their conduct in choosing between the
two counter propositions, immediate " disestabliahment"
or general " modification," will form the test of their
genuine liberalism.

The second day of these chases concluded with Hee
weather, which brought an immense number of people on
the noun. The company, however, was not very highly
entertained with sport, for almost every event was utterly
devoid of interest. Nothing that took place calls for
comment here, except perhaps the second suaceas of the
resuscitated Leavelock,who to-dayboat a horse of no small
pretensions In Captain Croestree, who was beaten a lung
way from home. The notorious Claxton seems to have
been improving his time since absenting himself from the

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.

Only the Oxford crew went out this morning
in a heavy wind at three-quarters ebb. Mr. Tottenham
took his crew up to the point, and then turning, in con-
sequence of the low state of the water, made them do
some starts and spurt', reaching 42 strokes per minute.
They got off well end rowed together. The can are
plunged deeper into the water, the men catch hold better
of the Ant part, and although many fancy the stroke is
jerky, that only used by the fine action of the lep
when the oars are brought to the chest in the return. The

RR. TRAIN.

Most of tho papers this morning have something to say
about Mr. Train and has release. According to the Tele-
graph, the fact that Mr. Train is free will render every
public man in America uneasy, so obnoxious is he at home.
Mr. Finlen is quite an influential politician in England
compared with Mr. Train in the United States ; not •
single respectable paper in Boston reported his recent
speeches; not even for the fun of the thing " could they
be persuaded to give him their space.
The Sta 'Ward says that Mr. Train was arrested by the
Cork pollee without any special instructions from the
Irish government, but there is no ground whatever for any
fault-finding. Had an Englishman of advanced Southern
proclivities gone over to New York, after proclaiming
" war to the knife' against Northern supremacy at • meet-

The news that has appeared in several French
journals of a new circular note from Baron von
Beust in reference to the eventual attitude of
Austria in European questions is, on reliable au-
thority, declared to be unfounded.
In to-day's sitting of the Reichsrath Delegation,
the standing orders were adopted en bloc. The
Minister of Finance then brought forward the
budget for common affairs, after which the secreta-
ries of the delegation were elected.
The decree relating to the oath to be taken by all
public functionaries to the constitution of the
empire is said to have received the imperial sanction.
The government, it is believed, intends to lay
before the Reichsrath a bill on the subject of direct
election of deputies to the Lower House.

In te•day'e sitting of the Legislative Body the
debate on the Press Bill was resumed. After the
rejection of several amendments, and the adoption
of articles 15, 16, and 17, the whole bill was voted
by 242 votes against 1. The bill relative to the
Army Contingent was then passed by 230 against
12 votes. The debate upon the Public Meetings
Bill will commence on Thursday next.

Thai Patric of this evening sys that the govern-
neat .as laid on the table of the Legislative Body
the plural budget for 1869, and the bill for the
loan of 440 millions. The budget estima`cs the
ordinary revenue at 1,699 millions, the ordinary
expeadituro at 1,627 millions, the extraordinary
revenue at 93 millions, and the extraordinary ex-
penditure at 184 millions. The same journal says
that the government has decided to make a special
grant in favour of Mexican Bonds, in addition to
the capital of 40 millions mentioned in M. Magne's
lent report. An annual route of three millions will
beclivided between them, so that each bond will
represent the approximate value of 127 francs.
These figure' will appear in M. Mague's financial
report.

THIL GOVZINIONT POLICY ON MILANO LED SCOTLAND.

The Prime Minister's arrangement of the buai-
nese of the House of Commons and last night's proceediuP
gives some countenance, the Daily News thinks, to the
suspicion that lir. Disraeli's policy is one of delay, sad to
postpone the mend election until the year 1870.
Although Hr. Gladden* untied him there would be no
long debate an the Sesta Reform Bill last evening, Mr.
Disraeli was determined that the Irish bill should not mime
on, but that at !seat • week should be lost. Lest session
and this session he has exhibited an unvarying desire to
shelve the subject of Irish representation. Above all things
he seems to desire time, and to leave the subject for the
session of 1869, so that the existing ministry might have
another year's reprieve. If to-night's debate can be ad-
journed until next week be will be admirably suited.
It was the predominant feeling last night, sane the
Timm, that the question of Ireland overshadowed every-
thing elms, end Sir James Fergusson's explanations

THE NAVY ESTIMATES.

Tan prediction that the estimates of naval ex-
penditure for the financial year, beginning in April
next, would show a considerable decrease on the
actual expenditure of the year that is
about to close, seems to have been only
an illusion. The expectation has been ruthlessly
dispelled this morning by the publication of the
official document bearing the signatures of Mr.
CORRY and Mr. Dr CANE. The Commissioners of
the Admiralty have, indeed, in the most practical
way, taken care not to expose themselves to the
charge of having exercised a cheese-paring
economy in the framing of these estimates, for, so
far from there being any decrease, there is
an actual increase of 201,0371., the total sum re-
quired to be voted for the service of the coming
year being no less than 11,177,2901. The ten-
dency has, indeed, been upwards for the last three
years—the estimates of last year, which are now
exceeded, showing an increase of more than half a
million over the sum asked for the service of the
year 1866-67. It is to be observed, moreover,
that in the present accounts no provision
is , made for giving the expected increase of
pay to retired officers, and this charge will,
therefore, probably form an item in the
supplementary estimates. For a full explanation
of the necessities which have caused this increase
we must of course wait until Mr. COREY makes his
•
official statement. Following the example of his
predecessors he will, no doubt, set before the
House of Commons an imposing array of reasons
for the increase, and be able to give the gratifying
assurance that certain of the votes asked for are
of a purely exceptional character, and may not be
expected to swell up the aggregate chwrges of another
year. It was rumoured some time ago that while
the estimates would show a large pecuniary re-
Auction, provision would still be made' for an ad-
' dition to our ironclad naval squadrons ; bat the
latter prediction is as far from being verified as the
former. It is true that the vote asked for in the
department of the Controller of the Navy shows an
incouse of 231,9411. on the vote of the pruidu

TNE7'OT4LISM AND TENPEBAYCN.

THAT " the argument from excess is an excess
" in argument " is a maxim strikingly illustrated
by the teetotallers. They are endeavouring to
grapple with au enormous evil, but they assail it
with false weapons. Their immoderate assertions
repel all moderate mon. Because JOHN JONES
drinks too much beer therefore Jong THOMAS
must drink none at all, is a strangely illogical
conclusion. As well might you strive to prevent
burglary by shutting up everybody in prison, but
such a system of prevention would be worse than
the crime itself. Last night at a crowded
meeting of the National Temperance League the
chairman advanced the proposition so constantly
