THE ELECTRIC 7'ELBORAPII AT TILE

CRYSTAL PALACE.

TO THE EDITOR Of THE EXPRESS.

Sin,—Whatever else may be urged against the
acquisition of the telegraphic system by the Post-office, it
can hardly be alleged, if I may judge from my own expo-
rienoe, that the public would lose as regards speed and
efficiency. Yesterday morning, being at the Handel
Festival Rehearsal, I placed in the hands of a clerk in the
Telegraph-office in the Crystal Palace a short inesmige which
must be valueless without celerity, and at the same time
received from him an assurance that he could read it with-
out any difficulty (he went over it in my presence), and
that it was certain to reach its destinaticm in the City
within 40 minutes at the utmost. What was the result?
The message was actually delivered two boars and ten
minutes after, and was then so full of mistakes as to be
scarcely intelligible ! I remained in the building nearly
two hours, and had almost reached London-bridge Ter-
minus when the telegram arrived. I could have walked
the distance easily in the time. Could the Poet-office
management fail to be an improveiccut ou thii ?—I am,

SHOOTING SITTOIDE OF A LADY AT SEAFORD.—

in the usually
_quiet little town of Seaford. Mrs.
Amelia Bannon :Mot, the wife of a doctor practising
in London, has unfortunately for some tune past
been suffering from • disease of the brain which
occasionally produore aberration of intellect. She was in
the habit of visiting Seaford during the summer, and for
the past ten days has been staying at the house of the Wages
Bennett, of 7, Pelham-place, in oompenv with her hus-
band's sister, Mrs. Curter, for a change of air and scene.
On Thursday morning Miss Ellen Bennett took some milk
and take up stairs to Mrs. Elliot at half-put 6, •it
being her custom to take refreehmenta at that early
hour. She appeared to be in her usual state of health.
Mrs. Carter was sleeping at the time in the same
loom, and having expressed a hope that her

.11r. Bertjamin Betijamin, a boot and shoe manufacturer
trading under the firm of Benjamin Brothers, at 339,
liackney.road and 61, Basinghall-street, was placed 4 tho
bar on remand before Alderman Owden, to answer the
charge that he being • trader who had been duly adjudged
bankrupt, unlawfully with intent to, defraud his creditors
did within three menthe next before the filing of his peti-
tion for adjudication pawn certain of his goods, to wit, 42
gross of Turkish towels and other goods which bad been
obtained on credit and remain unpaid for, contrary to the
statute, &c.
Mr. George Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, instructed by
Mears. Lando and Sone, 12, Eines Arms-yard, prose-
cuted for the creditors and ldr. Bard, of Basinghall-
street, defended the prisoner.
At the last examination it was shown that the bank-
rapt ceased paying money to any of his creditors on the
4th of April, and between that date and the 4th of May
he procured goods on credit to the amount of 19,0001.
The bills became due on that day, and were dishonoured,
and after that he got more goods, to the extent of
6,0001., the whole of which were pledged,. and made away
with as soon as they got into his possanon.
Mr. Lewis said that he proposed to prove that the pri-
soner had received goods from 66 different persons to the
amount of 7,1821., not one shilling's worth of which had
been paid for. Within the six wes preceding his bank-
ruptcy he pledged goods with the English, Scottish, and
Australian Chartered Bank for over 3,0001., and had ob-
tained betides advances to the amount of over 4,0001. from
other sources. He denied that he had pledged those goods,
or that he bad obtained any advances on those he had
BhiLVial witnesses having been called, Alderman Owden
remanded the prisoner until Wednesday next, and declined
to take bail.

THE ESMONDE WILL CASE.

THE remarkable ease which has occupied
eight da3s in the Probate Court at Dublin, has
ended in a manner which reflects great credit upon
the skill of the contending counsel, and the
conscientious carefulness of the jury, a majority of
whom, it is reported, were in favour of
the validity of the will. It was a case
which, in a country like Ireland, where
public and private transactions are so often in-
flamed and embittered by religious rancour and
ecclesiastical jealousies, would be particularly
difficult for a jury to decide without bias or suspi-
cion. Indeed, the case was one in which it was
almost impossible to exclude from the minds
of the most scrupulous and impartial jury some
other considerations than those before the oourt.
It is due to the counsel on both sides to remark that
on the whole they laboured not unsuccessfully to
keep the issue clear from extra-legal pre-
judices and presumptions. How difficult it
must have been to do so will be
easily understood from the simple fact
that it was a question of whether a sum of
10,000/. bequeathed by Lady &MONDE, a Protest-
ant, should become vested in certain trustees for the
parpose of founding and endowing certain Protest -
Int charitable and educational institutions, or should
ilevolve upon Lady Ram ona's daughter, a new
sad ardent convert to the Roman Catholic

GENERAL GRANT'S PROGRAMME.

GEIsKIt&L GRANT'S reluctance to make a speech,
and the verbal shots with which he contents him-
self when compelled to break his ordinary silence,
are common remark in America, and havebeen tho
subject of much speculation. It is easier, however,
to write a letter than to address an assembly ; and
the General in formally accepting the nomi-
nation of the Chicago Convention, enters, for
the first time, we believe, since the war,
into a statement of his political views.
Writing from Washington on May 29, to the Pre-
sident of the Convention, after speaking highly of
the proceedings of that body, he adds :

I endorse their resolutions. If elected to the office of
President of the United States, it will be my endeavour
to administer all the laws in good faith, with economy,
and with the view of giving peace, quiet, and protection
everywhere. In times like the present it is impossible,
or at least eminently improper, to lay down
a policy to be adhered to, right or wrong,
through an administration of four years. New political
issues, not foreseen, are constantly arising, the views of
the public on old ones are constantly changing, and a
purely administrative officer should always be left free to
execute the will of the people. I always have respected
that will, and always shall. Peace and universal pros-
perity—its sequence—with economy of administration,
will lighten the burden of taxation, while it constantly
reduces the national debt. Let us have peace.
This view of the functions of the executive meets
with general approval. If Congress, it simply
means, remain Republican, General Galan exe-
cutes Republican laws without any question ; if
Congress become Democratic, he will take equal
care that Democratic laws be executed. There is
good reason to believe that his election will contri-
bute materially to bring about the realisation of
his own appeal, " Let us have peace."

RAILWAY MONOPOLY AND THE HOUSE

OF LOADS.

IT is a novelty to look to the House of Lords
for protection against the hasty legislation of the
House of Commons. Indeed, when a ball panes
through the Lower House without serious opposi-
tion, it is thought unseemly of the Lords to refuse
their assent. But the case of the monopoly for
which the South Eastern, London and Brighton,
and Chatham and Dover Companies have striven
to get legislative sanction, is altogether an etcep-
tional one. Were it not for the fatal prepon-
derance of the Railway interest in the
Commons, that very questionable measure would
have been either summarily rejected, or elaeamendad
in the interest of the general public. The lesson may
prove a useful one, we hope, to the new conitittt-
encies. They will probably be chary of riending
a representative to parliament whose sole
cations consist in his having a seat at a board of
railway directors and lucrative patronage at his
dispoz,al. It is premature to assume as our morning
contemporaries have done that the House of• Lords
has virtually quashed what is obnoxious in this
bill. We shall be ready to " thank GOD that we
have a House of Lords" when we find wane

NSW YORK, Aran 11.

The impeachment trial was resumed on Thurs-
day. The managers offered u cumulative evidence
testimony that Mr. Johnson had refused an appli-
cant an official position upon the grounds that be
sympathised with Congress. _

- General Butler announced that the case for the
prosecution was closed.
Judge Curtis opened the case for the defence in
a long speech. Be denied that the Te-
nure of Office Law was applicable to the case
of Mr. Stanton, who was not appointed by
Mr. Johnson, and whose appointment, under
President Lincoln, was made in 1862, only
commissioning him to hold office during the
President's pleasure. The Senate confirmed that
appointment, but it oould not entitle Mr.
Stanton to hold office until 1869, under a
different President. The Tenure of Office Act
admitted several constructions. Mr. Johnson had
acted under the construction adopted in consonance

with the views of the Cabinet and his oonstitutional
advisers. The charge that Mr. Johnson had
conspired to influence Major-tieneral Emory to
violate the Army Bill was based upon an assump-
tion unsturtained by evidence. Mr. Johnson's
speeches did not denounce Congress, but only a
dominant majority in that body. His speeches
were a lawful exercise of the freedom of speech.
The defence offered the testimony of Adjutant-
General Thomas relative to his conveanation with
Mr. Johnson.

The managers objected to this evidence being
received, but the Senate voted by 42 to 10 that it
should be admitted.

General Thomas deposed that Mr. Johnson
never ordered him to me either force or threats to
obtain palomino of the Warofflos. Under cross-
examination by General Butler, General Thomas

clearly defined among the characters is a
pompous local magistrate whose oat long-
ing is to be made Knight of the oannebrog,
and whose greatest act of folly is to marry a widow
in his old age, who rules him with harshness. Old
Aunt 011egeord is one of those homely personates
who are doubtless to be found in the secluaed
parts of Denmark as they are to be met with in
the outlying country places of England, whose
ideas are limited to the domestic circle, and whose
delight is to render everyone about her thoroughly
comfortable end happy. We cannot think that the
novel will excite as much attention here as in
Denmark. No one can appreciate it who is want-
ing in local knowledge. It is too provincial in
every sense of the word. The habitual novel reader
will consider it heavy ; the intelligent realer will
find it superficial. It is but fair to add that the
translation seems well dons : the English is flow-
ing, and foreign idioms are absent.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

THE REVIEW IN PHCENIX-PARIL
DUBLIN, MONDAY MONT.

This afternoon the Prince and d Princess were
present at a review of the troops of the Dublin
division in the Phcenix-park. With the exception
of a *couple of showers of rain the weather was
brilliantly fine, and there was an enormous crowd
in the park. The evolutions were of a very simple
character. Both in driving to the park and on
their arrival on the ground their royal highnesses
were heartily cheered. As the Prince rode off the
ground the enthusiasm of the people became quite
uncontrollable ; they broke through the line of
sentries, and crowded so closely round his horse, as
for a short time entirely to stop his progress.
To-night the Lord-Lieutenant gave a ball at the
Castle, at which the Prince and Princess of Wales,
the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Teck, and a large
and brilliant assembly of the aristocracy and gentry
of Ireland, were present.
Their Royal Highneues the Prince and Princess
of Wales will pay a visit to Powerscoart on Thurs-
day next. The royal party, accompanied by their
Excellencies the Lord Lieutenant and the Mar-
shioneu of Aberoorn, will reach Bray about half-
' past 12 o'clock, and will proceed thence through
the town of Poweracourt, whence after luncheon
they will be driven in a carriage and four horses by
Lord Powersoourt to the Waterfall. The Prince
and Princess and the Viceregal party will return
to Dublin by the Scalp, and by the direct road
thence into the city.

The plaintiff was trashes of a manufacturer at Notting-
ham, who had made an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors, ander the 192nd section of the Bankruptcy
Act. This person bad some lace machines for which
be had "standinp," and also steam power upon some
premises of the defendant. Under these circumstances,
the defendant distrabied the machines for five-and.a-balf
years' rent, sad sold them. The present action was to
recover the machines upon the ground that they could not
be legally distrained, and at the trial before Mr. Justios
Mennen at Nottingham, a verdict was entered for the
defendant? subject to the opinion of the full court.
Mr. Servant O'Brien now moved for a ride to enter •
verdict for the plaintiff for 441/. or 31M., the one ram
being the fall value of the machinery and the other the
amount realised at • forced sale. Els stated that no pqarr-

THE HOUSE OF COMMONS ON THE
"ESTIMATES."

To the philosophical observer of public affairs
the differencebetween the historic and the personal
aspect of the House of Commons—between its ab-
stract character and its concrete reality as the great
national Bursar and Accountant—is an interesting
subject of sad and humorous reflection. The beat
that can be said of it is that it is but one of the
innumerable instances of the ludicrous discrepancy
between human life and history as we read of it,and
as we see it passing before our eyes. The distance of
a few years lends enchantment to the most vulgar
and trivial scenes and persons. The historic artist
presents us with pictures of past men and things,
which could not have been recognised by contem-
poraries. Even contemporaries, unless they have
made themselves familiar with the side scenes of
the drama of public life, are apt to preserve their
illusions and to endow the actors with the heroic
qualities which exist only in their own imagi-
nation. We would confidently recommend
an ingenuous British subject, who has been
accustomed from his youth up to read and
Lear of the transcendent and absolute than-
Mal power and jurisdiction of the Howe of
Commons, to be present at a Committee of
Supply, on an evening devoted to the
Civil and Miscellaneous Estimates. Here is
what he will see before him on such an
occasion. He will see some forty or fifty mem-
bers scattered along the deaolate benches, •
dozen of whom are perhaps aware of what is
going on, and even taking a fitful and fussy part
in the proceedings. These are the enthusiasts who
have each a speciality, in the shape of a grudge
against some particular item in the votes which he
has studied and mastered with distressing zeal. On
this item he is unappeasable and inexorable, and he
puts it to the vote with the certainty that
the thirty or forty dozing Ministerialista will
wake up at the precise moment and pounce upon
his amendment without having had the
trouble to listen to his speech. If there
are not enough dozing Ministerialista on
the benches there is always a detachment
in reserve who are whipped up by the SECILZ-
TAM' of the TRZASWRY before the division bell
rings. In this way votes to the total amount per-
haps of fifty thousand pounds, are opposed by •
corporal's guard of well informed or carefully miain-
formed " independentmembers" of acurionaandper-
tiniscions turn of mind, and are c..rried without the
slightest effort by the " fatigue party" on the Trea-
sury bench, while, on the same evening, votes
to the amount perhaps of tl.ree or four millions,
which do not happen to have attracted the noses
of the enthusiasts, aro proposed and passed with-
out so much as a growl from a corner. Straining

moured dash upon Magdala would cause &sponse
payers so many qualms, or that even the Malt tax
abolitionists would be condemned to • perpetual
mirage of select committees. All honour, we say, to
that very select band of " botherers " who make a
hobby of some trifling reduction of an item in the
estimates, and ride it to an easy and certain
death. At least they set a good example to the vast
majority of members who are always absent when
public money is being voted away by millions,
by making • dash at the shillings and the pence.
Nor would it be fair to disregard the obvious dis-
advantage under which any lagialative assembly
must labour in attempting to call in question
items of expenditure in departments of the public
service with which only a member here
and there has the remotest acquaintance.
How many members of the House of Commons are
qualified to pronounce upon the question of an
Embassy house at Constantinople, or consular
buildings at Japan ? There may be a
vague and loose suspicion that if the diplo-
matic and consular services are properly paid
Parliament ought not to be troubled with
specifications for repairs. But members of
parliament who know the price of land at Teheran
or at Therapia may be counted on the Foreign
Secretary's fingers even in these days when
everybody goes the gland tour. As Fuaeli
said of the incapacity of the English to appreciate
the poetry of PETRARCH : there are many rea-
sons for it, and among others, " Dere is de
" dead ignorance of de language." There are
many reasons why an independent member should
be no match for a Minister in assailing an estimate,
and among others his almost invariably utter
ignorance of the facts of the case. Who
can wonder, if in sheer desperation the inde-
pendent member is reduced to propose that a vote,
which is either immediately indispensable or en-
tirely unjustifiable, shall be postponed till next
year?
Much is expected of the reformed Parliament,
on the principle of omne igreotum. Blessed
are those who expect nothing, for they shall
not be disappointed. We are perfectly willing to
anticipate the largest and most salutary changes
in legislation. But we confess that nothing
would be more agreeably surprising than a
House of Commons containing something
more than a quorum of forty or fifty mem-
. berm to potter or to doze over the esti-
mates. There is no lack in the present
unreformed House of great orators on
great questions. But where are the great
orators on an estimate night ? JOBIPH HUNS
has had no successor. In the continental legisla-
tures the Budget is sifted and examined by
special committees on each department of expendi-
ture before it is submitted to the approval of the
whole assembly. In this way there is at least a
chance of obtaining a careful and a competent ex-
amination of details of expenditure. In default of
a house of Jossra Humes, can no better machinery
than the present be found for fulfilling the
primary and essential functions of the British par-
liament 1

TOOR-LAW MEDICAL REFORM.

An aggregate meeting of London and provincial
poor-law medical officers was held yesterday, at the Free-
masons Tavern, Mr. W. J. Cuatiorr, M.P., in the chair,
to take into consideration the general unsatisfactory state
of the poor-law medical service.
Dr. Rictuansox, F.R.8., moved, "That this meeting is
of opinion that it is desirable to insert clauses in the Poor
Relief Bill now before parliament, to give effect to the
opinion of the Poor-law Board that the providing of medi-
cines by guardians is an expedient course; to make
clause 38 of the Metropolitan Poor Act. 1867, compulsory
on the Poor-law Board ; to enable the Poor-law Board to
direct the formation of dispensary districts in the larger
provincial towns, &e., as and when they shall think fit."
Mr. Baas seconded the resolution, which was also
endorsed by Dr. Budget!.
After some remarks from Dr. Gibbon, Mr. Stallard, and
others, the resolution was agreed to , and • petition to
parliament, embodying all the resolutions, was adopted.
A further resolution, for uniting the metropolitan and
provincial medical oflicen in one association was moved
by Mr. (Immix, and agreed to.
Mr. FLIIVIIIXAN proposed that the co-operation of the
Workhouse Infirmary Association and the British Medical
Association be solicited, which also was accepted.

had a fine curly bead when he went to the defendant's
school, at the morning ; in the evening when he reamed
home his curls bad been cut off. His mother went to the
school, and defendant explained that she had cut off hie
hair from kindness, as she thought the child looked batter
without the curls than with them. The 'wither was of a
different opinion ; it was a great" piece of impudence,"
she raid. The defence was that the hoy's head was dirty.
and therefore the defendant was justified in what she did.
The Mayor told Mrs. blelhuisti that in cutting of the
child's hair she had done an i!lcgal act ; but as there did
not appear to be any malicious purpose the fine would be
only 6(1. and costs.

SERVIA.

A letter from Scullin, in the Nartli Eastern Cor-
respondence, says :

The trial of Captain Marraillo proved the existence of a
conspiracy. all the threads of which are at present in the
hands of the authorities. However, the revolutionary
party does not seem to have abandoned all hope of success.
Every day we have here and in the neighbouring town of
Pancsova domiciliary searches at the houses of the known
minters of the Omladina (a literary association of the
Servian youth). The fact is certain that, as long ago as
the middle of May, sinister rumours were in circulation at
Pancsova, announcing a catastrophe in Sonia, and Prince
Michael bad been warned of it.

A letter from Ragusa states that as soon as it
became known in Montenegro that the Prince of
Servia was murdered, the inhabitants assembled
under the command of Pardcklia and commenced
to lay waste the Turkish farms. Orders
were at once sent to Malunoud Pacha to afford
the protection of his troops to the Turks.

Sr. P4L'L'S SCHOOL.

Yesterday the recitation of speeches by the
scholars of Dean Colet's Foundation took place in the
presence of the head master, Dr. Kynaston ; Mr. Watney,
the master of the Mercers' Company; Dr. Selwyn,
Bishop of Lichfield; ex-Chief Baron Pollock, General Sir
G. Pollock, Sir F. Halliday, and a large attendance
of ladies and gentlemen, friends and relatives of
the pupils. In the quaint language of the early
part of the sixteenth century this exerritatioa
received the name of "Apposition," which it still
retains in the programme of the day, although it
would seem more appropriate to the examinations which
precede the distribution of prizes, and the delivery of the
speeches. As usual the Pauline prolusions of the forth-
coming vacation were ushered in by the recitation of
some Latin verses in memoriam of Dean Colet. These are
generally the production of the head master himself, and
are spoken by the captain of the school. Mr. Herbert
Cowie stands in the conspicuous position of captain this
year. and to him was adjudged the lion's share of the prints,
for translations into Greek iambics of a passage from
Massinger's " Roman Actor," and into Latin hexametersof
&passage from Dyer's "Ruins of Rome," and for a Latin
essay on the "Binds" of Aristophanes. The same young
gentleman also obtained a prositor ancessit for the English
essay on " Nationality "—the prize in this department
having been won by Mr. Munson. Both these gentlemen
proceed to the university. The other prizemen are Mr.
B. E. Pollock, who obtained the Clarke prise for
his poem, "The Waters of Bethlehem ; " and Mr. F. V.
Knox, who won the high master's occasional prize, "for
merit in all the five exercises."

The speeches consisted of selections from the " Birds"
of Aristophanes, the " King John " of Shakespeare, the
"L' Avocet Patelin " of Brueys, and the "Heir at Law"
of Colman. The following are the names of the scholars
who took part in the performances:—Cowie, W. W.
Kelly, Manson, Fynes-Clinton, A. E. Quekett, F. V.
Knox, *kenning, R. E. Pollock, Lacey, Kempe, F.
J. 0. Helmoro. In stating that the "speeches"
were spoken "trippingly on the tongue," and in some
instances with an admirable appreciation of the characters
represented, we only repeat what we have had frequent
opportunity of recording on previous occasions. The
recitations of the present year fully sustained the character
which the school has acquired during an existence of more
than 360 years.

HAMPSTEAD HEATH.

THE case of " atrRIVEY HOARE and Others
" v. Sir THOMAS MARYON WILSON," which com-
menced in the Rolls Court yesterday, will, it is
to be hoped, definitively settle the fate of
Hampstead-heath. The plaintiffs have already de-
layed, if they have not altogether prevented, its de-
struction. No one can visit the Heath, by way
of Jack Straw's Castle, without being struck by
the appearance and situation of an unfinished
house close by. In front of the famous flag-staff, and
so placed that if ever completed it will obscure
the exquisite view over the fields to Harrow, this
house seems to have been commenced for the ex-
press purpose of trying the question of right in
the most irritating way. Its foundations once
laid, it appeared to grow with abnormal
speed, and but for the action of the in-
habitants near would have long since been
finished and occupied—a substantial wit-
ness to Sir THOMAS WILSON'S absolute powers
over the remainder of the Heath. But Mr. GUR-
NEY HOARE, whose family traditions and here-
ditary residence naturally impel him to take a
leading part in all pertaining to the privileges
of Hampstead, sought, as it is said, counsel from the
Commons Preservation Society, who recommended
the formation of a local association for preserving
the Heath—advice which was promptly and satis-
factorily followed. An ad interim injunction
was obtained against the house then building
by the flag-staff, and the whole question will now
be settled by our courts of law. As some totally
erroneous impressions are abroad respecting the
extent of Sir THOMAS WILSON's claim, it may be
well to state that it embraces the entire Heath
itself, and not merely outlying portions like the
fields by the Finchley-road, The Lord of the
Manor declares the breezy waste, which has been
regarded as the common property of smoke-dried
Londoners from time immemorial to be his private
freehold, to be cut up in building lots, or covered
with cottages, if he so please, to-morrow. Various
minor proprietorial rights have been quietly
