AMERICAN FENIANS.

THE correspondence which has passed between
the United States and British Governments re-
pecting the imprisonment of Mews. WARMLY and
COSTELLO on the alleged ground of their complicity
with the Fenian brotherhood, was supplemented
this morning by the publication of additional de-
spatches which raise the larger question relating
to the laws of naturalisation. From a communi-
cation addressed by Lord Sra•ttzy to Mr. THORN-
TON on the 16th June, it appears that, acting upon
instructions received from Mr. SEvrann, the United
States CHARGE D'AFYAIRES in this country formally
inquired of our Foreign Minister whether Her
Mamorne 5 Government were prepared at once to
enter into a treaty with the United States on the
subject of naturalisation. Lord STANLEY'S reply
was to the same effect as the statements recently
made by him in the House of Commons, viz.,
that the British Government would willingly
entertain in principle the question of the
Naturalisation Treaty, and no longer held to the
doctrine of indefeasible allegiance; but he added
that with every disposition to contribute to the
setting at rest of a question calculated to interfere
with the good understanding existing between the
two countries itwaa inexpedient, not tosayimpossi-
ble, to proceed hastily with a matter involving as
this does so many important legal and other ques-
tions. It seemed to the FortErox Szeugratly in-
evitable that legislation on the subject must be da-
ferred till the meeting of the new parliament, and
as the treaty must be made dependent on such
legislation it was useless to conclude it at once.
The next communication is the letter addressed by
Mr. SEWARD to Mr. MORAN .n reference to the im-
prisonment of Messrs. Wilmot and OosTwo, is

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LAND.---(THIS DAY.)
Very little English wheat was on sale here to-day, most
of the samples being inferior in quality, and in damp
condition. Really tine dry samples were unchanged in
value with a slow sale, but infenor were quite neglected,
and to have effected sales a reduction of Is. to 2a. per qr.
must have been submitted to.
In foreign, a fair business was passing, but all second-
rate parcels sold on easier terms. There was a seasonable
supply on offer.
Marley was in limited request, and prices were barely
su

quantity on offer was extensive.
Oats commanded a fair amount of attention, and prices
remain unchanged.
Beans were steady in value and demand.
Peas sold slowly, on former terms.
Linseed changed hands at late rates, but rapeseed was
dull. Clover and other agricultural seeds were neg-

rendes.

marks and inferior foreign were tending downwards.
Rye was in limited request at last week's prices.
Maize was dull, and prices gave way 6d. to Is. per qr.
The floating grain cargo trade has ruled steady in tone,
but, owing so the small number of vessels arrived the
amount of business passing has been very limited. Wheat

THE MARRIAGE LAW REPORT.

Taz Report of the Marriage Law Commiaak
. .

whether it shall form the basis of legislation or
not, is at least a very valuable document. Its
chief importance will be found to be in its disillu-
sions. Whoever has hitherto believed the English
law of marriage to be perfection, and that nothing
required amendment save the provisions of the law
in Scotland and Ireland, will find his ideas entirely
overturned by the propositions of the Commission-
ers. Except as regards registration it may almost
be said that there is nothing in our present system
that they leave unaltered. Any religious body
may still impose its own religious ceremonial on
its members, but nothing of all this is to be essen-
tial to the marriage. Banns are to be abashed,
and bishops and archbishops are no longer to be
enabled to grant either common or special
licensee. Celebration in a church is to
be immaterial. Any registered minister of
religion, or any registrar of births, is to
be entitled to perform the sole material part of
the proceedings. Marriages are to be permitted
at any hour by day or night. Above all, a mar-
riage once performed by a person ostensibly enti-
tled, and which is duly registered, is to be for
ever unimpeachable. It would seem that even the
correct names of the parties is a matter of no mo-
ment, if only they can be identified pereonelly as

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF BANKRUFTCY.—AIiover
(Before Mr. Commimioner Winslow.)
nor PARTE ELLIEMS, RE JELLED:N.
The was an application by Mr. PhilipEllinen. of Frank-
fort, merchant, at the inspectors and trustees under a
deed of arrangement might be ordered to pay to the hp-
Ipticant the sum of 7201., received by them sod their late
co-inopector and trustee, since deogeoed, in January, 1886,
from one William Remo, of 'Shanghai, in respect of the
Proceeds of 16 bales of Mankato.
His Honour now gave judgment ; and after fully stating
the facts under which the claim arose, held that there wts
no sufficient evidence to support the application, which he
dismissed with costa.
IR RE PIIRSEIL —ELM Air IPITART Ell • rsnaviorr P
! This was an application on behalf of a creditor that this
petition should be diemi-sod, on the ground of the bank-
rupt being an infant. The adjudication was on the bunk-
-rapt 's own petition.
lin Honour, in giving judgment, reviewed the state of
the law prior to the pawing of the act of 1861, and raid
that the only relief which a person not a trader could
obtain from debts he had not the means of paying, and
from imprisonment, before 1861, was by the different acts
for the relief of insolvent debtors, but an infant could not
obtain the benefit of the insolvent act with respect to
prisoners, because the provisions of the act required the
petitioner to execute a warrant of attorney to authorise
the entering up of a judgment against him, and an infant
could not give such a warrant of attorney. The question
does not appear to have been decided whether an infant
could obtain the benefit of what have been
called the "Protection Acts." All these questions,
have been decided, not upon any general principle, but
upon the special matters in each act which applied to the
ease of infants, and which the act of 1861 appears to have
swept away. The law of bankruptcy is now applicable
to all persons, whether traders or not, and them* ne
warrant of attorney required. There appears now
nothing to prevent an infant from availing himself of the
law of bankruptcy, if he conAidere such a course for his
advantage. The words of the 86th section are suflEiently
general: "Any debtor may petition for adjudication
against himself." I think the application mint be refused.
I have been referred to the case of at pewee Basedley
(10 Law Inner Reports, 432), in which the judge of the
county court at Liverpool delivered a well-considered
judgment on the same matter, in which I quite concur.
The remainder of the business was taken before Mr.
Pegistrar Haslitt, who has been appointed to act for a
limited period, in the stead of Mr. Commirsioner Bolroyd.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

henry Benson, 33, Mary Benson, SO, John Watson,
Margaret Watson, 33, pleaded guilty to stealing two
walking stick.' and three silk umbrellas value 41. de.. the
Property or Edward Bax. They also pleaded guilty to throe
other charges of stealing two bottles from Mr. Rimmel's
in the Strand, 4 boxes of cigars from Juo. Archer, and
2 pictures from Robert Dodson.
Mr. Besley, instructed by Mr. Willis, prosecuted; and
Mr. Ribton appeared for the prisoners.
It appears that all the robberies were committed within
a short time of each other upon the prosecutors, who
carry on business in VW iOU4 parts of the Strand. Tice
modus operandi seems to have been that one of the
prisoners went into the shop first, and made a small
purchase. Raying taken a survey of the shop, the other
prisoners came in, and while the men engaged the shop-
man's attention, the women abstracted whatever they
could lay their iands on. For this they were thoroughly
provided, as on searching the women ono was weal big a
capacious linen bag sa a petticoat, in which were 2 boxes
of cigars, and 2 small pictures.
Inspector Brannan, F division, said, that since the
prisoners had been in custody, he had foundout that they
were known in Manchester and Liverpool as shoplifters.
When the prisoners were apprehended, on one of them
a large linen bag was found, and so artfully concealed
that it was not discovered until that prisoner was taken
into custody. The paintings were found upon the woman.
Mr. Serie/int Cox said the bench was quite east:shod
the prisoners were systematic thieves, and al-
though it wan their first conviction, they could not be
dealt with leniently, because in their case a short impri-
sonment only tended to make them worse ; mercy.would
be thrown away. The sentence upon the male l mortars
would be live years' penal servitude, and upon the women
two years with hard labour.
Upon hearing the sentence the woman Benson,
and was carried from the dock.

Mr. Bosley drew the attention of the court to the con-
duct of a witness named Cummings, who had been the
means of the pliioner.' apprehension.

pi.e.l of a good deal of the stolen property, and Mr.
Collingridge appeared to have purchased tho articles
after making but little if any inquiry of the prisoner as
to how ho became possessed of them. At length the pro-
secutor discovered that some one about him was robbing
him, and put sonic questions to the prisoner, wl.o endea-
voured to throw the blame upon a charwoman who was
employed by the prosecutor. Another boy who was no
doubt concerned in the robbery, and who has absconded,
subsequently gave some information which led to the
apprelienstin of the prisoner. A numLer of pawnbrokers
were in attendance, who produced different articles
belonging to the prosecutor which had been pledged at
their respective 'hope by the prisoner. •
The prisoner was now committed for trial.

LIBERALISM A

IT is not enough that Libor&Alt is going to
lay the axe at the root of our religious institutions;
we are now threatened with a fresh danger. It is
going to sap our morals ; destroy our health ; fill
our madhouses and hospitals ; and, generally,
send us to the bad. The Globe of Monday
evening asks a terrible question. Beginning
by repeating, from " a _French scientific
" journal," the report that nearly four times
as much brandy is drunk in Paris as was
drunk there eighteen years ago, it proceeds to tell
us, on the authority of social observers, that this:
increase is chiefly among women. By a natural
transition, we then oome to our own women :
" The number of female cases of delirium tremens'
" in the higher, middle, and fashionable classes
" are declared by medical men to be absolutely
" appalling." Supposing this to be so, inquires the
Globe, "is it possible to devise a remedy? Or,"—
pray admire the writer's notion of an alternative
—" Or arc we really, under Liberal leadership,
" hurrying down the broad road to destruction ?"
This is followed by some more questions, about
" our *ices" and " our daughters," which we
omit.

But here is surely something for the considera-
tion of " Liberal Leaders." Let them pause in
their mad career, v. hile it is yet time. It might
prove impracticable to revise the Corn laws, even
for the sake of preventing delirium tremens in the
ladies of '• the higher, middle, and fashionable
" classes." Unfortunately, too, the new Reform
Act is in actual working ; but if, under Liberal
leadership, we are hurrying down the broad road
to destruction, we may at least burke the
testimonial to Mr. BEALE.% and refrain from pushing
the Lodger Franchise. We must put on the drag
somewhere, if these things make the ladies of the
great world drink. And we must drop all laissez-
faire, and have a stringent Act of Parliament to
prevent secret tippling in the " higher, middle,
" and fashionable classes." One thing we dare
affirm ; whenever a Conservative Government, if
a Conservative Government should ever again
exist, proposes such a measure; the Liberals will
help it on. In the meantime, we have a new
election cry—" Vote for Toryism and Temperance!
" Down with Liberalism and Delirium Tremens ?'

OR WAR.

-' The kilato ssi.lo9l6iy, commenting on an artit le
Jai the CosseNtadionnel, which is redolent of p •nee,
and on one in the Pays, which is still more redolent
of war, says:

One can eaaily imagine the embarrawnwmt of ra.,ital
under these circumstances. Which prophet are we to
believe in? the Constifutionnel or the Pays ? Who is really
the inepixed P The drat of these journals is surely in the
secret of the gods, but the second is credited with the
28010 privilege, and both were decorated on tae 15th
of August last. The balance is level between these tFo
augurs, which must naturally increase the bewilderment
of the good people who consult them. Answering the ap-
peal of the Comeitutionnel, which invites it to "spread
life and prosperity broadcast," capital, like the mouse
which risks the top of its muzzle at the mouth of its hole,
is disposed to venture abroad ; but, on the detonating
bound of the Par, which, like General Bloum, gloats in
the smell of gunpowder, it runs buck again. And—what
renders the situation more obscure—the provincial jour-
nals from time to time reveal pithy facts of more or less
importance, which it is difficult to explain. For ex-
ample, on the fete of August 15, the police, if the
Totilannals is to be believed, arrested persons in Marseilles
for crying " Vive la peix" as the prefect was going to wit-
ness the fir-minks. If the cry of " Vive la pair" is seditious
are we to draw the inference that war is meant t If war
is not meant why are per.•ona arrested for crying " Long
live peace" instead of bring thanked far being in har-
mony with the secret wishes of the government ? We
should advise the Cons," mr inane' to ail for fresh informa-
tion, or at least to inquire of the rays why it believi .• in
war, and to communicate to the public inn new preel,.-
rnation the result of its inrcAigations. taking the precau-
tion that it should not be contradicted the next day by
another officious journal ; for it can no longer be said now
that it is the opposition journals that are piling heavy
clouds on the horizon to prolong the evils of une,rtainty.
The loyal papers do this work excellently well.

The Mohiteur contains a report of Marshal
Vaillant's speech at Dijon on Monday in
opening the Councils-General. After point-
ing . out the abundant harvest just
gathered in he said :—" This abundance is
the more appreciated, because it occurs amidst the
most reassuring circumstances. The Emperor said
very recently that peace must not be disturbed,
and that everything promised well for its duration.
Indeed, gentlemen, abundance in peace, but in a
peace that has not been preserved at the cost of
patriotism. You have there in two words the
position of our country."

BOW-STREET.

Phillip Barite., representing himself as a manntscturer
of jewellery, was brought up on a warrant, charged with
obtaining a quantity of diamonds by false pretences.
Alexander Wine 61, West Strand, Mated that he be-
longed to the firm; of Wise and Co., carrying on the.busi-
ness of commission merchants. In the afternoon of last
Saturday week, the prisoner entered the witness's shop, in
company with a man named Warren. Mr. Warren in-
troduad the prisoner, saying he wished to purchase some
diamonds. Witness inquired if the prisoner was a manu-
facturer of jewellery ; he replied, " Yes," and that he had
a factory near his residence at Heath-house, Avenue-
read, Tottenham. Believing his statement to bo true,
witness gave hint the requisite quantity of diamonds, and
received a cheque for their value, namely 761. 6e. 6d. On
the cheque being presented at the East land= Bank, it
was returned, marked " Not sufficient effects" Witness
had since visited Heath-house, and elicited that the pri-
soner lives there, but is not a manufacturer of jewels.
William Allen, clerk at the East London Bank, pro-
duped the prisoner's pass book, and which, up to the 2nd
of -July lent, had entries to the amount of 221. only.
William Bush &peeled to taking the prisoner into cus-
tody on Friday last, at Heath-house, Avenue-road, Tot-
tenham. Witness went in company with the two prose-
cutors, but found the prisoner out, and they saw hum ap-
proaching his house; but on perceiving Mr. Wise, the
prisoner made a rush into the house, and altunined'the
door, refusing to admit either the officer or the prose-
cutors. Witness knocked at the window and desired
prisoner to open the done. Witness stated he was an
°Meer from Bow-street Police-station. Prisoner then let
the witness in, saying that "Some p.nple had been before
calling themselves officers, but were not. Ho thought it
might be the same persons again." Witness then read
the warrant, and asked to search the house. The
prisoner replied that he had not got all the diamonds. Ho
Bad got them off his hands, and had command over about
18 carats. Prisoner then delivered up a letter-bag contain-
ing a pass-book, cheque-book, paying-in book, packet
of bills, and some duplicates for jewellery in pawn under
different names from his own. One of the tickets was for
26 silver watches, another for 10 gold watches, others for
pins, lockets, rings, and for very many gold and silver
waitehes There were no signs of a factory. The house
wag at a gnash tut eight-roomed house.
Mr. Montagu Williams, for the defence, said there was
no doubt an open account at the bank. The cheque was
not a dishonest one, but mei ely marked N.S. T e pri-
mmer expected some heavy bills to be paid to him, but
being disappointed, could not make the entries he in-
tended. Mr. Williams hoped Mr. Flowers would not be
itti r' diced by the pnsones possession of the
rates.Z. Flowers said he was obliged to remand the owl
again, and on this occasion he must rah= bait.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(nom ous owl coizzarowDza7.)
PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING.

M. Greppo, ex-representative of the people, was
brought to trial at Lille yesterday for the offence
of having, while travelling from Brussels to Paris
in the railway, introduced prohibited literature
into France in his pockets. It appears
that the statement that the only con-
traband print found upon him was a
single copy of M. Maurice Joly's " Dialogue
aux Eufers entre Machiavet et Montesquieu " is not
strictly accurate. According to the indictment his
offence was aggravated by the possession of a num-
ber of the Moils Beige, a journal prohibited in
Prance and two copies of a pamphlet entitled,
" Napoleon 111. and the Politics of the Second
Empire." Judgment is postponed to next Wednes-
day.
The Bourse has at length been affected, and that
considerably, by the news, which, notwithstanding

the rumbling of the Constitutionnel and Patric for
several days past, has hitherto attracted little at-
tention, namely, that Prance takes umbrage
at Russian intrigues which contemplate an
invasion of Bulgaria from Servia and Roumania
to be followed by a general rising in the Turkiah
province. A telegram from St. Petersburg, of yes-
terday's data, gives an extract from the semi-official
*nal al that city, which it is well known says
nothing not approved of by the Czar's government.
The Itaidue organ, after particularly denying re-
ibnistsd statements of the Patric, says :

...brew esibiaelee name, Resole. We an set et present

THE ABYSSINIAN CORRESPONDENCE.

A voluminous Blue-book containing the corres-
pondence respecting Abyssinia was published this morn-
ing. The book occupies 740 pages of printed matter, and
contain copies of no less than 843 dispatches and docu-
ments of various kinds. The correspondence relates to
affairs of Abyssinia between the years 1846 and 1868. The
last despatch of the aeries is one dated the 16th ult.,
written by Colonel Stanton to Lord Stanley, in reply
to a despatch from the foreign minister, twinning
him to make representations to the Viceroy of Eppt
on the subject of the inconvenience and embarrassment
which the presence of the Fannin fortes was likely to
create for the expeditionary army. The Viceroy, it
appears, promised to *end orders immediately to Masao.
wah to withdraw one battalion from the garrison.
Among the papers is the following despatch from Lord
Stanley to King Theodore:
" Foreign-office, Sept. 9, 1867.—T0 his Majesty Theo-
dore, King of Abrednia.—Many months have now
elapsed since the Queen, my sovereign, on the 4th
of October, 1866, and her Majesty's Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs, by command of
her Majesty, on the 16th of April of this year, appealed to
your Majesty in order to obtain the release from
the captivity in which they have for a long period
been most unjustifiably held, of officers sent to
inyour court on public matters, and of other
dividuals who have come under your control.
But your Majesty has disregarded those meessedve appeals,
has made light of the remonstrances and representations
of the Queen, and has rejected the friendly overtures
which have so repeatedly been made to you
Queen
any command. It is impossible for the
any longer to endure such conduct on the part of your
Majesty, and her Majesty has, therefore, given orders that
6=l%faros, under the command of Lientenn
Robert Napier, K.C.8., should without nig
ester your dominions, and obtain from you by fore, a sow
cake which you have hitherto withheld from friendly
=ntation. For the result of this maw%
er may be the consequences of it to your throne
and to your country, your Majesty can alone be held
responsible throughout the civilised world ; and although
the Queen would fain hope that, even in thisi
last hour, your Majesty may be induced to listen to words
of peace, and avert, by full and immediate c°
the attacks which in a short space of :::risa
be directed against you, I am commanded
by the Queen to warn your Majesty that the course of
action which I now make known to you is irrevocably de.
tarmined on, and that the only means of grze=yezore
country from war, and your own power
will be found in the delivery to the oesnmandsi
d the British invading army of all the European prism=
In your keeping ; and it is the earnest non of tie Quinn
that this last opportunity which her Majesty offers to
you may be taken advantage of by your Majesty,
and that peace may be so misread between
England and Abyssinia. Ha thus fulfilled the mar
mend of the Queen my I bid your Majeity
heartily farewell.—Your sincere d,

THE LATE LORD WENSLEYDALE.

The death of Lord Wensleydale, better known,
perhaps, by the nonlegal community as Baron Parke, of
the Court of Exchequer, occurred on Tuesday last,
in the 86th year of his ardehip's age. He
was born at Highfield, near Liverpool, in March,
1782, and was educated at the Macclesfield Grammar
School, whence be proceeded to Cambridge and entered
Trinity College as a pensioner in October, 1799. In the
following year he was elected to a scholarship, and three
years later he took his B.A. degree as fifth wrangler and
senior chancellor's medallist. In 1804 he was sleeted to an
open fellowship at Trinity, and about ten years later was
called to the bar of the Inner Temple, where he soon dis-
tinguished himself by his ability and industry, and
obtained a lucrative practice, particularly on the northern
circuit. The noble lord did not obtain the honour of a
call to the inner bar, nor did he ever attain
the rank of attorney or solicitor general ; but
he was raised to the judicial bench direct
from the ranks of the junior counsel, in 1828, when he
succeeded the late Sir George Holroyd as one of the puisne
judges of the Court of King's Bench, and was trans-
ferred to the Exchequer Court six years later, on the
death of Baron Taunton. After an experience of
twenty years on the bench Lord Palmerston pro-
posed to confer on the learned judge the distinction of a
life peerage ; but this proposition was rejected by parlia-
ment, a resolution being carried to the effect that a life
peerage did not confer the dignity of a seat in the Upper
House ; and, thereupon, Mr. Baron Parke was created
a peer in accordance with the established custom.
Ia 1817 Lord Werudeydale married Cecilia, daughter of
the late Mr. Samuel F. Barlow, of Middlsthorpe, York-
shire ; but, as there is no surviving male issue, the title
becomes extinct with the death of its first possessor.
