MR. ,'OTHERN AS OTHELLO.

THE unusual sounds which greeted Mr. SO'rHEBN
on Saturday appeared to take that popular actor by
surprise. That an English audience should ex-
press honest disapproval was thought sufficiently
remarkable to be made the occasion of a speech.
The cause of charity was invoked as a shield for
bad taste, and a somewhat hyperbolical readiness
to break his neck, if necessary, for Mr. PAUL
BEDFORD'S sake earnestly avowed. But Mr.
Sorneas mistook the point at issue between
the public and himself. This was that he,
a man in the full enjoyment of his faculties, should
degrade his author while playing a part sadly un-
worthy of his reputation. It will be difficult to
persuade impartial people that this was essential
to the cause he had at heart. To play Ornatto at
all was a bold but perfectly legitimate experiment
for a light comedian ; toburlesqueOTnaLLo by para-
phrasing SHAKESPEAZZ'S words, together with a
grotesque make up and comic action would have
been admissible ; but the exhibition of Saturday
went beyond this. With DFSDEMONA, Emma,
and lan° played in good faith, the Dundreary hop
and drawl and antics were miserably out of place.
To hear SHAKESPEARE'S text altered only by in-
tentional mispronunciation ; and to see a properly
clothed OTHELLO grimacing and gesticulating in
Dundreary whiskers and wig was far from plea-
sant fooling, and betrayed an absence of true
perception and good taste for which we were not
prepared. Mr. BccicsroNs's Liao was a grave,
matter-of-fact performance, making the looker-on
wonder whether, like LISTON, ho has a sneaking
conviction that tragedy is his real forte ; and the
female parts were respectably filled. But Mr.
SUTHEPS, who could so easily have treated Mr.
PAUL BEDFORD'S friends to a pleasurable perform-
ance, outraged the instincts of his audience, and
had no right to be annoyed at the result. The
sibillations seemed to us among the healthiest
sounds of the day.

THE troops and captives from Abyssinia were
expected, according to the last accounts, to reach
the sea coast by the latter end of April. The
Bombay steamer, the mail brought by which has
just arrived in England, passed Annesley Bay on
the 4th inst. The Calcutta steamer, the mail by
which is due in London, by Marseilles, on the
31st inst., was due off Annesley Bay on the 11th
inst.

THE PROPERTY OF MARRIED WOMEN.

The text of the bill brought in by Mr. Shaw
Lefevre, Mr. Russell Gurney, and Mr. J. Stuart Mill, to
amend the law with respect to the property of married
women, wu issued this morning. It provides that every
woman shall. notwithstanding her coverture, retain pea-
session of all her real and personal property, whether
belonging to her before marriage, or acquired
afterwards, free from the debts and obligations
of her husband, and from his control. The
earnings of a married woman, derived from any
occupation carried on separately from that of
her husband, are also to be deemed her po-
mmel estate. On the other band, a husband is not
to bo liable for the debts of his wife, contracted
before marriage, and shall not be liable in
damages for any wrong committed by her. Upon the
death of • wife intestate, her husband is, according to the
provisions of this bill, to take the same distributive share
in her personal estate as • wife would take
in the personal estate of her husband if he
died intestate, and subject thereto her personal estate
is to go u it would have gone if her husband had pre-
deoeased her. There is, however, a reservation of the
right of a husband to bold his wife's real
estate sa tenant by courtesy. Questions in dispute
between husband and wife as to title to or possession
of personal property are to be decided in a summary
way by any chancery judge, or at the option of the pe-
titioner and irrespective of the v►lue of the property in
dispute, by a county court judge. When, however, •
husband has been in the habit of receiving his wife's
rents and profits he is not to be held liable to account
for them afterward,.

The existing law relating to the making of settlements
before or after marriage is not interfered with.
It le proposed that the act, which is not to extend to
Scotland, shall come into operation on the lit January
next.

THE POLICE COURTS

MARLI3OROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Roberts, of Moorgate-street, attended at this court
before Mr. Tyrwhitt, and adverting to Madame Rachel's
case, stated that the was confined in Ncwgato for want of
bail. Application had been made to Mr. Justice Black-
burn, and the learned judge had referred him to the com-
mitting magistrate. He now wished to know whether the
magistrate would entertain the application, his own
opinion, however, being that the proper place to apply,
according to Corner's Crown Practice, was to a Judge at
chambers.

Mr. Tyrwhitt concurred with Mr. Roberts. After a
prisoner was committed for trial a magistrate's functions
ceased. An application for bail ought therefore to be
made to a judge.
Mr. Roberts said the learned judge had referred him to
the magistrate.
Mr. Tyrwhitt would recommend another application to
the judge, stating to the learned functionary, for whom
he had the highest respect, what was his opinion in refer-
ence to this matter.
WESTMINSTER.

Mr. Arthur Lsnd, one of the Christy's Minstrels, re-
siding at 15, Kinnerton-street, Wilton-place, Knights-
bridge, was charged, on a warrant, with assaulting Miss
Mary Ann Thorn, of the same address.
Mr. W. D. Smyth defended.
Miss Mary Ann Thorn, a Italy of between 40 and 50
years of age, whose face presented a fearful sight, stated
that last Saturday night she was in bed at home, whoa
the defendant broke open her room door, and with-
out saying anything struck her a most violent blow on
the face, completely breaking her nose and injuring her
very much. He said she had insulted his wife, who was
an invalid.
In cross-examination by Mr. Smyth,

The witness said that she had iwt a‘saulteil the wife of
the prisoner ; they hail had words about some work, and
the wife snatched some cloth away from her, and she
matched it back. The wife afterwards fell dowu, but she
had no hand in it. The wife was an invalid.

Mr. Smyth admitted that nothing could justify such an
assault, but pleaded in extenuation that the huslband
came home, and finding his wife, who was an invalid, had
been knocked about by Miss Thorn, he committed an assault
in the heat of the moment.

Mr. Robert Barrett, the landlord, proved seeing the
defendant's wife on the ground, but complainant denied
striking her. Defendant's wife was an invalid, but he
believed not naturally, but rather owing to her husband's
ill-treatment.

The prisoner was remanded for a week on bail, a sum-
mons to issue at the suit of the wife against Miss Thorn
for an assault.

THE MHZ SOZAN CATHOLIC PRELATES.

Though the Amer has the strongest feeling of thd reck-
less impolicy of the government in taking up the prie itly
prepoeal relative to the catholic university, and presenting
it to the nation as their own ; yet when it mete with
attacks so disingenuous as that of Drs. Leahy and Derry,
it feels bound to protest and to point out the truth.
Everybody will now plainly see that the bitterest
opponent of Lord Mayo and his colleagnes could not have
wished them aworse fate than to entangle themselves with
these Romish ecclesiasties. What have they gained by
the attempt to effect a transaction with men between whom
and them there could be no real confidence—men whom
efforts are directed solely to the exaltation of their own
order and the propagation of their own dogmas ? If they
hoped they could ever induce Roman catholic bishops to
make their university an institution compatible witii free
thought and teaching, and deserving the support-of the
British pediment, they have been greviously mistaken.
This correspondence will be, at inast, a lesson to every
future government.

The Herald is sure that no intelligent person, be be
papist or protestant, can read this correspondence without
arriving at the conolusion that the two bishops apprtached
the offer of the government, not with the intention of ac-
cepting it in any form, but with the view of utilising it as
a weapon against the conservative party, and for further-
ing the interests of the proper allies of the Papacy, tho
liberal party under the leadership of Mr. Gladstone. 'They
are using it as a mere electioneering device for catching
Romeo catholic votes and alienating' the protestant sup-
porters of the ministry.

LA BELLE HELENE.

TUB English matrons and maidens who were
attracted to lit. James's Theatre on Monday have
at least the satisfaction of knowing how far their
taste and modesty are likely to be outraged.
Nothing could go further in a certain direction
than Mdlle. ScrearDEß in La Belle Helene ; and
playgoers may rest satisfied that the worst has
been seen. Whether, according to the proverb,
theatrical manners will now mend remains to be
proved ; but we fancy the performance now
offered to the public will be found to have over-
stepped even the liberal limits of modern modesty.
To see Mdlle. SCHNEIDER at the Bt. James's will
surely come to rank with some other metropolitan
pleasures from which it is customary for wives and
daughters to abstain; and if La Grande Duchesse
was the fair Frenchwoman's Austerlitz, the mo-
ralist is entitled to hope that La Belle Ilelene
will, so far as her success here is con-
cerned, prove her Waterloo. The piece itself
is far inferior to the Grande Duchene in wit
and point ; and, indeed, consists of little more

ALLEGED DEATH FROM VIOLENCE IN TRH
CHARTERHOVBE.—Last evening Mr. W. Payne, City
coroner, held an inquest at St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
respecting the death of Charles Brenner, a little boy
about eight years of age, who came by his death under
the following circumstances :—The evidence showed that
the deceased was the son of a tradesman. About six
weeks ago he was sent to the Charterhouse School in
Charterhouse-square. One afternoon deceased came
home crying, and with a black eye. His mother asked
him how he had received the injury, and he said that
some one at the school had kicked him in the eye. Three
or four days afterwards ho was taken ill, and as he be-
came worse he was, at the end of the week, takeu to the
above hospital, where he gradually sank, and died on
Sunday. The house surgeon said that when the deceased
was admitted there was a black mark in the corner of the
left eye. He made a post-mortem examination of the
body but found no other marks of violence. The bruin
was diseased, which was the cause of diwth, and might
have been caused by the injury. A witness named
Ribett stated that her little boy told her that he kicked
the deceased in the eye, but before the coroner the little
fellow, who was only eight years of age, denied that he
said so. The jury returned a verdict, "That the de-
ceased died from disease of the brain, but how the injury
was caused the evidence failed to prove."

THE CASE OF MADAME RAM El.—At the Judges'
Chambers, yesterday (before Mr. Justice Blackburn), an
application was made on the part of Madame Rachel,
Who is now confined in Relegate. Two new sureties
were proposed for her appearance at the Central Criminal
Court on the 17th August to take her trial. A writ of
habeas corpus bad been issued on the part of the prisoner,
and Mr. Jonas, the governor, was in attendance before
his lordship in obedience thereto. The prisoner was in an
adjoining room, ready to enter into her recognisance for
2,100/. as directed. Some discussion took
.place, but his
lordship declined to iutci fere. us the application was one
which should be mitde to the magistrate who had heard
the case.

DISQUALIFICATION OF CANDIDATES.

An animated conversation was raised in the
House of Commons yesterday, in committee on the
Bribery Bill, by an amendment of Mr. Powell, propos-
ing that a candidate with regard to whom a judge shall
find that bribery was committed with his knowledge or
consent shall be disqualified from sitting in parliament
for seven years. Mr. Powell strongly objected to giving
so great a power to a judge sitting without a jury, and
moved to substitute for this heavy punishment the present
disqualification of sitting in the current parliament for
the same place. Mr. Powell's amendment was rejected by
197 votes to 26. The following members compoeed themino-
rity :—Mr. W. S. Allen, Capt. Archdall, Col. Barttelot,
Maas. J. Bonham-Carter, E. P. Bouverie, Sir H. Bruce,
Sir P. Burrell, Mears. N. Chambers, A. D. Cochrane, Sir

Messrs. F.G. Powell and J. Lowther. Mr. Gladstone and
the leading members of the liberal party supported the
government.

The Ow/ says it has been resolved by the head.,
of the conservative party to contest every metropolitan
borough at the approaching election.
Mr. Blake, M.P., and Mr. Galt have been re-
quested (says the Owl) by the joint committee of the Irish
peers and members of parliament appointed to consider
the condition of the railways of Ireland, to draw up a re-
port embodying their views and iruggestas upon the
subject.

The Cotton Statistics Bill having become law
every exertion is being made by the Board of Trade to
bring it into full practical operation on the let of next
month. The necessary arrangements are in the hands of
Mr. Daly, of the Customs, who is understood (says the
Times) thus far to have been very sucoesdul with regard
to them. Re has had to reconcile the conflicting views
of the people of Manchester and Liverpool, to keep the
wishes or requirements of the former within the most
reasonable limits, while he obtained from the latter all
that is really necessary to secure the object in view. A
complete understanding having thus been established,
stock will be taken and returned to the Board of Trade on
the 31st inst.

Mr. Auberon Herbert, the popular candidate
for Berkshire, received the Danish order of the Danebrog,
corresponding to our Victoria Cross, for having, in the
Danish war, carried off some wounded Danes, under firs,
at the risk of his own life. He has also received the medal
of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution for gallantly
going off during a storm in its lifeboat at Cromer, with
the view of saving a shipwrecked crew.

A PILGRIMAGE TO ROME.

'toot( has just been published in which the
Rev. WILLIAM WYNDILLM MALET, vicar of Arde-
ley, gives an account of a pilgrimage which he
made last year to Rome, Jerusalem, and Constan-
tinople, "for the reunion of the faithful." Such a
volume cannot be regarded as a mere literary per-
formance, especially when we find the writer
assuring the POPE that he represented " thousands

It would be interesting, and it might be useful, to
know who are the thousands in England who will
read with sympathy Mr. lita.zr's address to the
Pori (pages 37, 38, 39), especially the passage in
which, amongst other reasons pleaded by him for
the restoration of intercommunion, he urged that
" England has her Holy Orders and Ordinances of
" worship from Rome," and that " she recognises
" his Houttras as the Chief Bishop of all." Mr.
DUX= elsewhere affirms this startling admission
by stating that " we in England" look upon the
Patriarch of Rozz as the first Bishop, the Pre-
sident of the General Council of the Church of
Christ, thus " acknowledging his jurisdiction to a
" certain extent, still preserving to our branch of
" the Universal Church perfect freedom." The
marginal note to this passage designates the Porz
us " Primus inter Pores," and in another place the
position which " we in England" concede to his
Hourtass is defined as " primacy, not supre-

If Mr. Ma= were merely an enthusiast, who
Lad undertaken to negotiate between England
and Itome on his own private account, this
astonishing admission might be only matter fur
amusement. But he is careful to tell us at page
39 that, before his interview with the POPE, he
" had laid before the HOLY FATHER'S Cham-
" berlain and Secretary his letter of ' holy
." orders,' signed and sealed by the Lord
" Bishop of Rocizzarza," and " his letters
" commendatory of the Primate of ENOLAND."

LIFE AT SMYRNA.

SKYRNA, with its suburb of Bournab-at, the
resort of a mercantile aristocracy, is one of the
most charming spots in the world. There the
merchant may make his fortune, and enjoy a
delightful climate ; there he can luxuriate
in rural retreats, shaded by the mulberry,
the orange, and pomegranate ; and there,
if he have any taste for scenery, he may
enjoy a panoramic view which can scarcely be
surpassed for beauty. Unfortunately there is no
rose without a thorn. Pleasant as it may be
to live at Smyrna, it is pleasure not wholly
free from danger. Some weeks since a
few Greek brigands, from Samos, or from
Crete, landed in the neighbourhood and succeeded
in capturing the son of the Dutch Consul-General.
Of course they demanded a large ransom, and of
course it was paid, since death or a worse evil
would be the consequence of refusal. This was
not all. The robber band, such is the weakness of
the government, kept the whole neighbourhood
with its 200,000 inhabitants in mortal fear not
merely for a day or two, but for several weeks.
At length, however, order has been restored
and three of the brigands shot. Their
ghastly heads exposed to public view, after
the fashion familiar a hundred years ago in
England, prove that law has once more prevailed
over anarchy. Yet the success is nothing to boast
of, since the pirates who frightened Smyrna out
of its propriety scarcely numbered a score ! If
the civilised residents of Smyrna, instead of rely-
ing on the government, would organise a volun-
teer force for the safety of the town, it would be
easy to keep kidnappers at a distance. It is dis-
graceful to think that a number of wealthy mer-
chant' should have been kept in bodily fear, and
have run a deadly risk from such contemptible
foes.

Tim long vacation is close at hand, and the
wearied barristers are pining for fresher breezes
than come wafted over the Thames into the
Temple-gardens, when suddenly it is dis-
covered that " the isle is full of noises,"
and rumours of great changes in the legal
world disturb the wonted serenity of the
dwellers in what will soon be the " vast hermi-
" taws," the Temple and Lincoln's-inn. Yester-
day we announced the promotion of Mr. Smozr,
and we now learn that Mr. RAROOOD, who for
years has been the facile princeps in the Bank-
ruptcy Court, and who has of late had much
parliamentary practice, is also to receive the dig-
nity of the coif. The names of the gentlemen
who will be appointed as judges as soon as the
New Bribery Bill has become law are also freely
canvassed. Among them those most in favour are
Sir B&Lzoz. BREIT, the Soucrros-Gmfra&L, Mr.
'HUDDLEBTON, Q.C., and Sir ROBERT COLLIER,
Q.C. Mr. OIFFARD, Q.C., who has a long and an
hereditary connection with the Conservative party,
is also mentioned.

THE POLICE COURT&

MLNBION•UOUBg

Mr. Edward Cooper,Oit6fini of
Cooper, Box, and
Co., wholesale hatters. Laurence Pountney-lane, appeared
to answer a summons for cab hire, under the followinglard
circumstances, the question involved arising out of the
recent act of parliament in reference to hackney car-
riages.
It appeared that the complainant, John!Johnson, was
called from hie rank to the defendant's warehouse in
Laurence Pountney•lane, where his cab was loaded with
came of hate, but after waiting at the door an hour and a
half the eases were removed, and he was discharged. The
defendant then asked his fare and he replied 45., being
Is. for distance and 3s. for tin;a, alleging that the act of
parliament allowed him to charge Is. for the first mile
when hired from the rank. The defendant, thinking
3s. Gd. was the proper fare, refused to pay the amount
asked by the complainant, and said it was an unreasonable
demand, but he did not tender the 3.. 6d. to the com-
plainant. •
Mr. Alderman Salomon.. thought the complainant was
justified in asking 4.., but
Mr. Oke, the chief clerk, observed that the me
tan magistrates had decided that although Is. cool be
*barged for one mile, only sixpence per mile
could be charged if the distance exceeded one mile. He
therefore held that the complainant was only entitled to
a shilling for the distance and the find quarter of an
hour, and that the legal fare was 3a. 6d.
Mr. Alderman SWmen• said the view be took vs
that the distance could be charged separately from the
time, but as was only sitting as Imam tenons for the
Lord Mayor, he deferred to the opinion of Mr. Oke, his
lordship'. legal. Meier, mid ordered the defendant to
pay 3s. 6d. for hire, and as Mr. (;Doper had not tendered
the fare at the time the complainant was discharged he
was alao required to pay the expenses, 2.. for the sum-
mons, and se. for two days' time.

LORD ABINGDuN ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

A vigorous reply has been given by the Earl of
Abingdon to a request made to his lordship to aiga an
address presented by the " nobility and gentry of the
county of Oxford "to the Queen, on the subject of the
Irish church. The memorial expresses alarm at what are
termed the " unconstitutiemil measures now pending
in the lower House of Parliament ;" regards the pro-
posed legislation as involving an aggression upon the
Queen's supremacy in matters ecclesiastical and civil ; as
• violation of the fifth article of the Act of Union ; as a
blow at the root of all establishments ; and tut subversive
of the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement. The
petitioners, therefore, call upon her Majesty to " with-
stand this aggrerniveness •" adding :

"We deliberately apprehend that if a check be not ini-
wd upon the present attempts at violent changes in the
Constitution (which no consideration of public interests or
convenience has restrained), they will gradually result in
subverting the fundamental institutions of the country, to
the danger of the crown itself, and of img the evil
and religious interests and privileges of your-Majesty's
subjects of all Wanes."

The objections of the Earl of Abingdon to this address
are based upon a variety of grounds. In the first place,
his lordship objects to it because it is limited to " the
nobility and gentry," to the exclusion of the other free-
holders of the county ; m the second, he thinks it so wrong,
and so much at variance with the principles of the consti-
tution, that he not only declines to sign it, but publicly
protests against it. He contends that the address im-
plies, that those who differ from the petitioners on this
question are animated neither by loyalty to the throne
nor attachment to the institutions of the country, " but
that a monopoly of those ?ilium is enjoyed by those who
are active partisans of the conservative party in the
county, which is untrue in fact, and offensive in
the imputation it conveys." The opinions enunciated
by the petitioners as to the effect of the changes
proposed have been repeatedly urged before against
moat of the legislative improvements of the last
40 years, and have invariably proved to be ground-
less. To propose, as they do, to drag the Queen's
name, influence, and authority into the political contro-
versies of the day exhibits, to his lordship's mind, an
utter ignorance of the constitution of the country, and
tends either to endanger that main security for public
liberty, which consist, in the responsibility of Ministers,
or to plaoe the crown itself in a false and unconstitutional,
and therefore a dangerous, position. Lord Abingdon adds
that the petitioners appear totally blind to the paramount
necessity of pacifying Ireland by a great act of national
justice, and so preserving the empire from constant diffi-
culties ..td dangers.

THE ANTIdANS AND LABOCRERS' IMELLINGS DILL

Describing the arguments which are put forward by the
vevtry of Marylebone in opposition to the billet Mr. Torrens,
and which are • summary of the objections made by all the
West-end parishes, the Herald says it is here maintained
as unfair that the perishes which do not require these
improvements should have to pay a rate for those which
do stand in need of them ; that the Board of Works
was not constituted for such a purpose; that it has
no right to levy a general rate, except for ,such par-
poet.* aa drainage, parks, and so forth, in which all
the inhabitants of the metropolis have a common
interest ; that the vestry, elected by the pariah, has the
sole right to determine on the disposal of the parochial
rates ; that the bill will be • benefit to the holders of
dilapidated property which they do not choose to improve,
will encourage speculation, and force up the prices of
rained tenements to an exorbitant rate. Some of these
objections are sentimental, others practical, but none of
them are without a certain weight, and as a whole they
have a claim to our attentive consideration. There is very
much to be said in favour of the plea put forward by the
parish authorities, that they, rather than the central
Board of Works, are the officers to whom we should look
for the carrying oat in a proper and efficient manner of the
much-needed improvement in the dwellings of the labour.

of marks was 30, the maximum being very much higher,
but, sad to tell, not one of the 12 who presented themselves
obtained even the minimum ! The rule of thumb ia still,

THE TRIAL OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
(ST ATLA2IIIO TILMILAPII THICK/Gll NI. immix% AOZIKIT.)

WASHINGTON, MAT 26.
•
To-day, the Senate Court acquitted President
Johnson on the second and third articles of im-
peachment. The second article charges that the
President, without authority of law, on the 21st
February, 1868, issued a letter of authority to
Lorenzo Thomas to act as Secretary of War ad
interim, the Senate being in session, in violation
of the Tenure of Office Act, and with the intent to
violate it and the constitution, there being no
vacancy in the office of Secretary: of War. The
third article alleges the same act as done without
authority of law, and alleges intent to violate the
constitution. On both articles 35 votes pronounced
the President guilty, and 19 not guilty. The
court, without voting upon the other articles,
adjourned sine die.
