Thu column commanded by General Calunge

to Bantams, but is to fall back and take up a posi-
tion in the vicinity of Madrid. Tho reason for
this movement is stated to be the progress of the

would certainly not be deplored by the conservative party.
Having been the authors of the extended franchise. the
conservatives are the last to fear the entranoe of the real
popular delegated into parliament.

NEWSPAPER CANARDS.

TII F. Namlard to-day reads a lecture to n con-
temporary on tho subject of the erroneoloi report
of an accident to the Prince of WAt,r4. " Surely,"
it -ays, in an expomtulatot7 tone, " it might hay.,
" n worth while in such a matter to run the

•• tisk of being 24 hours late in conveying b
news. or at any rate to make some inquiry tli.tt
might lead to the contradiction or the veritiva-
•• tion of the rumour. Some explanation is due
•• to the public when so painful a rumour is pub-
•• li had in a paper of repute, and is found t be
'• absolutely devoid of foundation." This is cer-
tainly an adroit way of escaping a difficulty.
The Erening Standard of Saturday pub-
lished in conspicuous type in its second
edition the paragraph which appeared in the Pest,
with the addition of the following on its own ac-
count :—`• We regret to way that there it foun-
•• datum fur the aline announcement, hut
•• the precise nature of time injuries
sna-
•• tained by the Pewee?: are not mentioned."
The lefroph refers to •• an evening piper
•• which professes to represent the Conservative
•• interest," as having even thought fit to pla and
the town with sensational &ling.' on the
übj ect of the accident, although the utter
falsity of the rumour could have been 'ascer-
tained without the slightest difficulty. Tho re•vlor+
of the Standard must have been puzzled by the
outburst of virtue so speedily after the lapse. If
- sonic explanation" is due from the Post. how
n.uch should be forthcoming from the Standard !

THE DEATII OF COUNT IVALEWSKI.

AsomEa of the bandof men who identified their
fortunes with those of the Emperor NAPOLEON,
and rose with him to power, is gone. Soldier,
journalist, dramatic author, diplomatist, and states-
man, Count WALEWSKI had a career which would
have been an exceptional ono in a country less sub-
ject to revolutionary change than France. Hy
his birth, however. he obtained Al fair
posit ion Lefore his relations with Lorca
NAPOLEON eould be of service to him. After the
Empire his progress was rapid. In las-1. he w:►s
AllibilsSadOr in England, and in the next year he
seeeet ded M. Dewy", ua WI Minister of
Foreign Affairs. He had the honour of presiding
at the Paris Congress in Priti. In Mat h,•
ieplaced M. Eout.n as Minister of State,
and after the death of the Duke de Mottsv
he resigned his post as senator in order to Is• •ome
Pr silent of the Corps Legislatif. His itfiuen,•e
daring the Italian war is believed to have been
adverse to the cause of Italian unity, awl his le ,+
will be felt more at Rona• than at Elorener.
His semi-Polish origin—for he WIS 9 regarded
as the natural son of the Great NAPOLEoN
by a Polish Countess (seen by the EMPEROR. at Is
to ut Warsaw), led the Poles to expect from 1 •
valuable grid ; but his sympathies have availed
nothing in the fate of that unhappy country.
The dueea,,ed Count was in his 59th year.

A I.rm.F. boy, ten years of age, the 14011 of a
laundress living at Park-lane-crows, died the other
day from inflammation of the brain. It was al-
leged that he had received a blow on the head
from his schoolmaster, and in consequence, we
I,uppose, of thin assertion, a coroner's inquest was
held. The evidence produced at the inquest
showed that HERBERT WIIILEY, the boy in ques-
tion, attended a Roman Catholic school, and that
while there the master inflicted upon him a blow
which produced vomiting, and it was believed
by the jury caused his death. The surgeon
who was examined pronounced that the body
was otherwise healthy, and that there
was no symptom of any previous disease.
The jury aec)rdingly returned a verdict of
" Death from inflammation of the brain, caused
"by a blow," and requested the coroner to
Bemire the schoolmaster. A more unsatis-
factory verdict it would be difficult to imagine.
Either the schoolmaster did or did not cause the
death of the boy. If he did, the censure of twelve
jurymen—all honourable men, no doubt—ciin
meareely be regarded as a sufficient punishment.
Would it be deemed sufficient had the unhappy
boy belonged to a higher class of society, and
been a pupil at ono of our great public schools
We take it for granted that the nusttor will not
be allowed to rest here.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.).

THE THIONV 07 11Pliti._

Against Qiioen laabella,observes the Tikse, it the
circumstance that, wherever the tneurreeties has sisreill,
the first impulse has been to denounce and repudiate her
and her finally. On the one head Spain may well shrink
•from lotting out the waters of such a tremendous strife as
the question of thu succession to the throne must curate.
It would be almost impossible for the Duchess of Mont-
printer to mount the throne from which her sister has bees
driven, and from which her sister's children were eioluded.
The union of the two kingdoms of Spain and Portugal
by the calling of the house of Braganaa to Madrid would be
equally unacceptable to each of the two countries. The
Portuguese think that their nationality would disappear,
and the Spaniards would probably prefer a perfect
stranger to a prince of a country too nearly related to be
loved. Such, indeed, are the obstacles to the establiak-
ment of a now dynasty that even those who are most in-
dignant at the offences of the present reign may be will-
ing to keep their Queen, and to reform her, if they can.

LORD °TRW/TORR.

Lord Overstate who, through fear of democracy, pro-
mises his Meneme to the tort' candidates for the repre-
sentation of North Northamptonshire, is reminded by the

Daily NMI that democracy owes its success and willows
its future opportunities in England as much to tory
spostacy as to liberal principle. At the same time sunh
change as his is quite natural to the soommse rich and the
parvenu peer. Lord Ovorstone has never thoroughly
forgiven Mr. Oladatoue the gumless of his financial
imliey, which proved the man of money's theo-
nee of trade to be as narrow and obsolete Si
his views in politics. Another thing, perhaps, had
something to do with Lord Ovonitone's letter. It is dated
from Im-kinge House, Wantagn, IMrks, the residenoe of
the Hon. Colonel Loyd Lindsay, who sustains the twofold
character of tory member and candidate for Berkshire,
and Km-in-law of Lord Overstone. To havo helped Mr.
Vit.patiick in North Northamptonshire might have been
to damage Colonel Loyd Lintl•ay in Berkshire, and to pro-
mote the election of that furious democrat Mr. Walter. or
of that plebeian leveller, the Hon. Auburon Herbert.
Lord Overslone, who has been ennobled tot nearly twenty
years, feels it a point of honour to be true to his order.

THE POLICE COURTS.

B 4 IW-KTREET.

Pi. F. Bensl7, and another gentleman, directors of
the Bread Making by Machinery Company, appeared to
a PIIIIIMOOI taken out against the company for mtnnge-
meets of the companies act of parliament.
The first complaint was that the directors had faded to
keep a register of the members of the company for thirty-
cue days from the let of July, on which lir. Flowers im-
loped a fine of 315., being la. per day.
The next complaint was that a copy of the fist of mem-
bers had not been furnished to the registrar within twenty-
one days after the first ordinary meeting of the members,
but as no meeting had been held the magistrate declined
to ceneict on this branch of the summons.

The third complaint was that the directors hail ne-
glected to keep a registmed office from the 18th of July
to the ;;14 of August.
. . .

Mr. Flowers convicted the directors upon thin charge,
and inflicted a penalty of 44.., being la. per day.
The fourth complaint was of a technical uature. and
the eumniona nn thin head was adjourned.

CITY OF LONDON.

The revision of the lista of voters for the City of London
was re,urnerl this morning before Mr. Spencer Perceval,
in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall.
The liberals were represented by Mr. Sidney Smith and
Mr. Ledger. and the conservatives by Mr. T. E. Harper.
A point of considerable importance was raised in refer-
ence to the claim of Mr. Joseph Whitaker, bookseller, 10,
Warwick-square, Newvate-street, to be placed on the
lorlgrr li-t. Mr. Whitaker occupies two rooms, one of
which he uses for the purposes of his business, and the
other as an occasional sleeping apartment when pressure
of be,incis prevents his going to his residence in the
counts y.
The claimant's ape, who appeared to uphold the claim.
stated, in reply to Mr. Harper. that his father slept on the
premises about twenty or thirty times a year.
Mr. Harper contenrlcsl that permanent residence in
lodgings was necereury to entitle a person to claim as a
Winer. It would be easy to manufactuni votes if ce•ca-
rii.nr.l re.idenee were held to be sufficient for the re•tuire-
mr of the act.
'll,e Bern-lug Barrister said the claims rested on the
bona tides of the case. Supposing a member of parlia-
ment came to town on his business, and took lodgings
in Jcenitn-street for the time, and that on finding it
a.ndd be more convenient to hire them for the entire
yi would he be ((unlined as a lodger

:Mr. Harper tioiught not.
The Revising Banister believed mast members if radiu-
m' ut entertained a different opinion.
After smile further discussion, the Revising; Barrister
adu.itted the claim.

WESTMINSTER.

Jloiiscrs, a policeman, was charged with com-
mitting an outrage upon a labourer named Thomas
Herold, who, from a heat disease and other illness, is
unable to follow his ordinury avocation.
On Thursday night last the oumplainant said he was
in Parade-row, Chelsea, when the prisoner, who was on
duty there, went up to him, and after adverting to sumo
evidence that complement had given against dun at this
court some months ago, without the least provocation
struck him a violent blow with his fist under the ear, and
kicking Min at the same moment, brought Min to the
ground, Ile then kicked him again on the cheek. Com.
plainant got up, when the prisoner struck him, pulled him
down, and beathim repeatedly.
This statement was confirmed by two women who were
near the spot, and the magistrate, adverting to the mis-
conduct of the prisoner, rind he hoped the comminoners
would purge the force of such men, and fined him 60.,
or one wrath's imprisonment.

TnE ICIPIORITY VOTE.

no Star contend, that if the liberals he only true to
their principle«, the mindrity clause will disappoint the
hopes of those who grafted it on a bill only too faulty
bidet e. But the necessity of •igorous organisation cannot
be ton strongly impressed oa the liberal electors of Lon-
don if they mean to be as fully represented as at present.
They meet be prepared for u hard fight, and be prepared
lib° to put snide lemons! likes and dislikes.

Mary Kingheret, alias Rebores hpittar, 26, 7, Old ()eatle-
street, Whitinimpel, was charged with obtaining goods
with intent to defraud.

money. Shortly gall& the prisoner, of whom fame in
fortune toiling and witchimift shit hud often heard, pained
by the door of No. 20 as she WWI Mending there, and
asked her to " cut the curds." She said she did not know
how, and then entered into conversation with her, in
441.,eipience if which she went to visit the prieuuer

at Ito. 7, Old Castle-street. Prisoner then said she
could get her dress and 'money if she would eve her
things to work the charms with. Proeseutrbr did give
her Wags, ecosisting of dresses. ipPlittleagar
drawers, and other thing's, and about I ls. in many,
periods of two or three days, and extending over a apses
of about six weeks. On one ocreasion she gave the pri-
soner a halferown, which she asked her for, as she said she
wanted it to buy quicksilver and other things, without
which she could not set the charm. On another oceasion
she was sent for, and prisoner put something into the hem
of the petticoat she was wearing and secured it therein,
telling her at the same time not to take it out or look at
it, as if she did the charm would not work. Prosecutriz
then let her have a shawl, value 7s. All the things she at
different times let the prisoner have she promised to re-
tura, and all the money but one shilling, but on Wednes-
day last elm got tin d ef waiting for her draw, and wished
to have the things rhe had lent the prisoner given back,
and aesiordingly told her so. She at ant said that she
could not let her have them, as the charm was obstinate, and
would not work. Afte: wards the said they were in pawn—
all that die could let her have, both money and clothing.
The prosecutor declared that she lent the prisoner the
things to help her to charm the lost dress and money
hark, which the prisoner said she could do, and witness
believed her.
Samuel Bawling'', polies-countable, stated that on Friday
night he took prisoner in Weutworth-street, on a warrant
granted from this court, and she denied all knowledge of
the prorecutrix. lie had known the prisoner some time
SP a person practising fortune-telling, she being largely
patmnieed by the young girls about. She charged :141. to
tell the fortunes of children and td. for adults. She %cis
a nuisance in the neighbourhood.
The prisoner was remanded, as it wee stated many
other charges would he preferred against her.

THE RA(7IIEI CASE.

IT in disappointing that we are not allowed to
forget the unsavoury RAonat ease. There in ob-
vionsly a certain feeling of dissatisfaction with
the verdict ; and the views put forward by the
Times doubtless represent the opinions of a re-
spectable minority. There seems a fatality in
prominent trials, particularly if they oomprise
unpleasant details, which impola the publio mind
to canvass eagerly and to watch closely every
tittle of the evidence. To what is termed the
legal mind it is nothing that Madame Raciest.
kept a shop for dubious purposes; nothing that
she entrapped tho vain and foolish into part-
ing with vast SHIM on false pretences; nothing
that her life was a cheat and her profession
a lie. The ono thing it consents to oonsidor is the
extent and character of the legal evidence of the
particular crime of which she was accused. Colla-
teral eircumatanoes of a damaging kiwi; incidents
which in ordinary affairs help to form the judg-
ment, are thrown on one side or treated as items
in favour of the accused. It is this class of mind
which is cavilling at the propriety of the ver-
dict upon the woman RACHEL now ; which
makts mach of Me. Cuuil,tise►uuer RAMS'S re-
marks upon the water-mark of the paper,
and draws strange inference. both from
what was brought forward and what was kept out
of the case. Ono thing is certain—if Mr. JOUNSON.
or JOYNSON, we paper-maictir, cares ;or sic 7..777:
tisement, he is deeply indebted to Mr. Under-
Sheriff Itocna as well as to Mr. Commissioner
RE HR. The Tim?s has four letters and a loading
article this morning upon the frequency with
which this name appears, and the cir-
cumstances under which it was intro-
duced. Our contemporary speaks of the
jury as having to decide in a conflict between law
and common sense, and abstains from censuring.
them for choosing the latter. But the upshot of
it all is that the scandalous details are kept alive
in the public mind ; and that wo are not per-
mitted to forget Mrs. BORRADAILE'S woaknets
end Madame RACHEL'S guilt as speedily as might
1,0 wished.

THE PROPHETS AND THE EPSOM

EVENTS.

The prescience of the prophets seems to have
almost deserted them this week ; for not one of
the gentlemen who give the readers of the metro-
politan daily newspapers the benefit of their
knowledge of the merits of horses and the intentions of
owners, was right in his predictions concerning both the
City and Suburban and the Great Metropolitan Stakes.
With regard to the former only one of the prophets was
fortunate enough to name even a bores that obtained •
place, and the exception was our own " Meteor,"
whose selection was Abergeldie, the second horse
is that race. " Meteor " has, howe►er, added to his other
achievements as a racing prophet by naming Blreskin as
the " absolute winner " of the Metropolitan Stakes.

DEPLORABLE DRAM PROM STARVATION.

An inquiry was held by Mr. John Humphreys,
coroner, at the Duke's Head, Whitechapel, last evening,
relative to the death of John Cook, aged 44 years.
Susannah Cook, • respectable looking but very emaciated
woman, deposed that deceased was bee brother and that
he was a picture frame maker. He had been ailing, and
had no work for six months past. He and witness and
another sister lived in one room at No. 3 Gower's-walk,
Whitechapel, for which they paid 3e. a week. About nine
months ago when the deceased was ill he got an order
for the parish doctor, who gave him some nourishment. The
pariah people, however, offered to take him into the
workhouse, but as he had • great aversion to the onion
be refused and he only got the nourishment two or three
times, and he pplied since. During the laat six
months deceased earned nothing. Witness had earned 20s.
and her sister had earned about 21. or 3/. They had friends
who assisted them • little. and gave them perhaps 21.
altogether. The deceased got as much as they could give
' him ; he had as much as would keep body and soul together.
The Coroner remarked that the three moons had only
61. to live on for six months, and when they paid their
rent out of it, they had only 2s. • week for food
The witness said that all the family ones supported
themselves very comfortably, and they were very respect-
ably connected, and, therefore, she did not like to tell
more than she could help. They were afraid to apply to
the workhouse for fear of being made to go into the Imam.
They had meat once • week—sometimes not so often.
Deceased died on Friday.

Mr. J. Scott ffequiera, said that he was
called in to the deceased after death, on Friday last. He
found the body was much emaciated. He had attended
the deceased over etc months ago on a parish order and be
found him then with his sisters in • most distressed con-
dition. There was not a partials of furniture in the room •
all three slept on the floor. Then was something in the
corner that might have been • bed but be would not liksto
eall it one. The man was suffering from sheer debility and
witness ordered him nourishment. Witness lost ofs
the ease till Friday last. The deceased died from
lion from went of nourishment, The family seemed to be
very respectable. The witness, Susannah Cook, was the
eldest, and she bad been pew-opener at St. Marks Church
until about • twelve months ago. The other sister was •
tailors's, and was now pew-opsner at Whitethapel Church.
The jury returned • verdict "that the deceased died
from exhaustion from want of sufficient nourishment."

THE WAIL VICTIM.

It seems to the Herald that the French press has made
up its mind to war. Of the independent organs, one half
are in favour of war, the other half content themselves
with predicting it. The government organs, properly so
called, are either obstinately silent, or emit occasional notes
of alarm and dark warnings to Germany. To all this the
North German press responds with a will, and an influential
organ at Berlin has now gone so far as to declare
that this talk of restraining the natural development
of Frueaia amounts in itself to a declaration of war.
Meanwhile the newspapers of Russia, of Austria, and
Italy, even those of Spain and Belgium, swell the chorus,
divided in their sympathies between the angry com-
batants, but all speaking with certainty of war in the
winter or spring. The government of the Emperor seams
almost powerless to stay the tide, or to give another
direction to the fatal turn which things are taking.

In this court the revising barrister, Mr. J. N.

Sarah Duval to be inserted on the register, on the ground
that if the legislature had intended to confer the right to
vote on women it would have been expressly dated. Mr.
Sheen banded in a notice of appeal, and Mr. Goren said
he would grant a consolidated case for the whole of the
ladies concerned.

A general decrease has tiles place in barometrical pressure
during the last 24 hours. It has been of considerable amount in
the south and west of our islands. At Penzance and Vakntia,
the change has been upwards of three-tenths of an inch. The
least reading reported is from Brest, which is 0'44 inches lower

western stations. Easterly winds were strong yesterday in the •
south-west of those islands, where the wind so still fresh from

coast. Rain has fallen in the south of Ireland. The weather is
cloudy. Lightning is reported from Pensance.

The revising barrister for the East Riding of
Yorkshire, Mr. T. P. E. Thompson, has allowed the names
of two ladies to remain on the register because no objec-
tion had been made to them.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS. Several
journals having announced that the city of Constance
invited the Roman Catholic Congress to hold its neat
meeting there, M. Max Strohmeyer, the burgomaster, has
written to say that he knows nothing of any such invita-
tion, and that the Communal Council, on the announce-
ment being made, met and resolved unanimously that any
Congress which meant to support the syllabus and the
dominion of priests, in opposition to common sense and
the tendency of the age, would got no assistance, either
from the communal authorities, or from the great
majority of the citizens.
The amount of corn destroyed by the fire at
Grange Farm, near Netley Abbey, Hants, on Saturday

quarrelling with her husband she threw her children and
herself into a pool, and all three would have loot their
lives but for the opportune aid afforded by a man named
Clay. The prisoner herself is still suffering from the
effects of her almost fatal immernott. The surgeon who
has attended her stated, in reply to the committing magis-
trate, that he could perceive nothing in her to denote any
mental derangement. When asked if else wished to make
