KSPARTERO.

Flamm and benign himself, &Pawns() is the
herald of war in the elements around. Like the male
puppet in the meteorological summer-house, his
appearance is a certain symbol of had weather,
and, like him too, he Deems to disappear soon after
the storm is over and the sky is tabu. Summoned
in cluergeney.he wields power with too mild a hand
for turbulent, disordered Spain. An honest, upright
statesman, approaching the English type far more
nearly than the majority of his rivals, Esraargao
has consistently preferred obscurity to bloodshed,
and has given up power rather than retain
it at the terrible price paid by NARVAEZ and
O'Doexam.. The statement in this morning's tele-
grams. that be has in his absence been proclaimed
President of the Provisional Government of Seville,
retain his conduct after the rupture between him-
self and O'DoNeet, twelve years ago. lie then
kept penietently aloof from the insurrections
which broke out in his name in Madrid,
Barcelona, and Saragossa, and his continued
übetinence from political life since that time makes
it at least problematical whether he will re-
sume it now. For &tranvia° is /seventy-
six years old, and, despite his life
of vigorous though intermittent activity. A'
originally intended for the priesthood on account
of his feeble constitution. That Spain should tans
to 'lira in her need is some proof of the instinctive
yearning after good of which even the most de-
based and oppressed nationalities are feebly
conscious. But Spain is not ripe for
&CARTER°, and EIPARTERO is too ripe
for Spain. The man who could not maintain
the direction of affairs, because of his distaste for
the corruption and dishonour of the court and of
his colleague O'Donfau.'s party, is too fine an
instrument for the work before any Spanish
',ovular leader now. His name has not impro-
bably been put forward as a decoy by men lees
scrupulous than himself, and, judging by analogy,
this is in itself evidence of the disturbed condition
of the (immunity.

THE CONJUGAL VOCATION.

Ws endeavoured a day or two ago to say
a few temperate, though neither chilly nor
cheerless, words upon the question of " Marriage
"or Celibacy," to the discussion of which a
morning contemporary has so liberally, not to say
lavishly, lent its columns. Perhaps, we may ven-
ture to add to-day a few sentences upon a subject
which is almost universally overlooked in these

discussions—namely, what idturox calls want of
vocation for the married life. It is striking to
observe in the letters addressed to oar
contemporary what an exaggerated esti-
mate is set upon " comfort" ; with what
cool impudence, for example, a young man
will actually write of "my cigar "as a
normal ingredient of human happiness; and,
again, how the question of conjugal vocation for
the married life is slighted or overlooked. Not
only is it probable that the number of women
who have no such vocation is larger than that
of the men who have no such vocation, but per-
haps it was always so. And yet, from a variety
of causes, it may be increasingly large at the
present day. At all events, the number of women
who, as the French idiom would have it, advise
themselves or permit themselves to write of men
and marriage in terms which display an utter
want of what may be called the conjugal geniality,
is considerable ; and they manage to make them-
/wives unpleasantly conspicuous.
In a rocent number of a contemporary there
was a long letter which, among numerous vehe-
ment commonplaces, contained such sentences as
these :—" The follies and vices of fast life are part
"of the very nature of man. . . . As to the
girl of the period,' she is a creature of the men's
" own seeking ; their folly has called her into
" existence," and so forth. Connected with this,
wo have, of course, the usual thing about the
" pure nature of woman," and the usual denuncia-
tions of men as false and wicked : the suggestion

THE FOREIGN CATTLE HASHERS BILL.

The Daily News says that the members who represent
closely populated and industrial districts feel that the Me-
tropolitan Cattle Markets BM is a blow, not unimportant
in itself, but still more dangerous as a prelude to schemes
that lie behind it, at the commercial policy of recent years
and the interest' of consumers in the open
market. Hence the opposition of the members repre-
senting great boroughs. While it is necessary
that the opposition should be watchful in their endeavours
to defeat this mischievous measure, it may be added that,
however triumphant the agricultural party may be in the
House of Common', it is impossible that the bill tan be
forced through the House of Lords at this late period in
the session.

The Herald tells ne that the resistanoe offered to the
measure is an example of a despotism attempted to be
exercised by a muff, insignificant, and interested minority ;
and the opposition is not merely irregular and virulent but
it is against all parliamentary procedure,

122 LW 001181. •

The Antes is at a loss to comprehend how it is that the
river facade, when once suggested ass site, was not im-
mediately recognised to be of incomparable value. That
the Law Courts, on the one hand, would look upon the
river, would front • vast expanse of sky, and so be secure
of abundant air and abundant light, and would, without
being liable to the disturbances of dust or noise, command •
prospect of the busy out-of-door life of the metropolis
both on land and water : and, on the other hand, that
they would stand out visible to the eyes, and therefore
proclaim their object to all the inhabitants of the oppo-
site shore, and the myriads navigating the stream,
traversing the bridges, and circulating in what will then
be one of the great metropolitan thoroughfares, the
street parallel to the embankment—these alone are
advantages enough, in our contemporary's opinion, to
throw into the shade any other oompetitors, and to cover
a multitude of drawbacks, if, indeed, they ever existed.

PIIVILEGBD BAILWdY CABS.

A very large meeting of cab proprietors and
drivers wee held last night, at Cambridge Hall, Newman-
Street, Oxford-street, to consider the best means to be
adopted for the abolition of the present system of ad-
mitting only privileged cabs to the metropolitan railway
stations Mr. J. 8. Gower, who occupied the chair,
that none but peaceful measures should be resorted to.
The railways extorted something like 12,0001, • year from
the cab interest, and it was high time their monopoly was
put an sod to. The London and North Western Com-
pesfinisad received • deputation on the subject, bat
tin bed mine of the interview, and the proprietors
an . 'vets must now take the matter into their
own bends. Let steps be taken to withdraw the 1,600
or 2,000 privileged Gabes and the railway .00mpanies
would soon discover how dependent they were on the cab
interest. Not that be advocated a strike, bat he thought the
time for action was approaching, and he advised both
masters and drivers to a fund for the purees, of
fighting the railway appetites. He had no fear for the
result, and was convinced throwing open the sta-
tions would prove se much for the interest of the
public as the benefit of the cab proprietors or drivers. Mr.
J. B. Crocker, Secretary to the Amalgamated Hacimey.Car-
rime Proprietors' Association, gave a statement of the daps
taken to induce the railway companies to ems to an
ariangement whereby their stations should be thrown open
to 11l cal* paying a pew fee. One company received the
utatiom three refused to do so, three simply acknow-
the receipt of the letter of the association, and
r took no unties whatever of it. There was no wish
e the railways of their cab revenue, but simply
le the stations open to all, and the elect of such a
would be to improve the character of the cabs
ty of the horses. Mr. Cede, • proprietor,
the fink resolution, and in doing so entered into
legal bearings of the question, insisting that in
them free trade times monopolies of all kinds
aught to be abolished. The resolution was this
That it is the opinion of the meeting that the time has
arrived to do away with the railway privileged cabs
monopoly, inasmuch as the trade has for years past been
de:ilium in consequence of the high price of fodder,
increase of rents, influx of epMtan railways, new
lines of omnibuses on ores road?, the heavy government
duty, and stringent regulations.' Mr. Cochrane, a privi-
leged cab proprietor, seconded the resolution, and it was
carried unanimously. Two other resolutions were also
agreed to, pledging-the proprietors and drivers not to run
or drive privileged or any other Ws from say railway
station. These resolutions were proposed by proprietors
and drivers ; but the period for putting them in fosse was
deferred for the coneatioa of another meeting. It was
approaching midnight when the proceedings were brought
to a close with the customary tete of thanks.

MELANCHOLY DEATH BY BROwNixo.

NENACIH, Mamma%
Mr. Richard Bradshaw, a respectable grocer of
this town, went out yesterday, in company with Mr.
Doherty, an assistant in the establishment of the Messrs.
Murray Brothers, drapers, for a drive to Drominser, bor-
dering on the Shannon, about five miles distant. Having
arrived there, the party went out on • boating excursion
to the "Islands," midway between Drootinear and Wil-
liamstown, when Mr. Bradshaw expressed a wish to go to
bathe. Ms. Doherty refused to accompany hint, and an old
man named ThomasMolony said, will gowithyou." Mr.
Doherty remained on the island, and a little boy
remained in the boat. Mr. Bradshaw, having exercised
himself for some time, rested on a rock, with a number of
which the water at that particular point is rtudded, when
suddenly slipped off, and fell into about 60 feet of water.
Although a fair swimmer, he was taken so suddenly that
he was about to sink for the third time, when Molony,
seeing the peril in which be was immediately rushed
to his assistance, and was seized by the drowning
man. After several ineffectual attempts to free him-
self from the gaup of Mr. Bradshaw, he sank, to rise ne
more, while Mr. Bradshaw struggled to the shore with
scarcely any life in him. Some restoratives were applied,
and he soon recovered his senses, which nearly left him
on being made acquainted with the sad catastrophe which
had just occurred. The grief of the boy in the boat was
most affecting. He threw the oars firs and the rudder
afterwards, to the drowning man, but all was of no avail.
The
.poor man fell a victim to his gallant oonduct, at the
patriarchal age of 75 years, leaving his children and grand-
children to lament his melancholy death.

TEE SUSPECTED MURDER dT POOLE.

At the Dorset Assizes yesterday, before Mr.
Justice Mellor, George Ivamy, seaman, of Poole, was in-
dicted for the wilful murier of Anne Hancock, a girl
aged 17. Mr. Here and Mr. Lidgard prosecuted ; and Mr.
Collins defended the prisoner. The deceased was a char-
woman, and kept company with the prisoner, who, it
would seem, was jealous of her. The evidence in the case
was entirely circumstantial. The prisoner and deceased
were seen together between one and two o'clock on the
morning of Sunday, the 21st of June. A witness named
Elizabeth Way spoke to seeing them quarrelling near the
house occupied by aner's mother. Mrs. Way left them
as they were struggling together in a passage called Bell-
lane. The next time ey were seen was between a quarter
and ball-past one, whea a young man named Joseph
Sandy saw them talking together from Mill-lane to the
Quay. They welt across the Quay towards the water,
talking tcfseackether in a rough manner. The prisoner
irked deceased why she did not stay at home. She made
no reply; and prisoner then said, " I have been watching
your I:nano-awes ; I will have nothing more to do with
you. You had better go with that ' bloke' where you
have been before." Deceased ran along the Quay, and
prisoner followed her, and seized hold of her. Sandy
then walked away, and neither saw nor heard anything
further of them. Mrs. Csiva, the wife of a pilot who
lived on the Quay, just opposite the spot where Sandy
left them, was awoke at two o'clock by hearing loud
screams and a splashing of water. She got up and opened
the window, when she saw a man walking away from the
edge of the Quay, and heard him calling to a dog. She
called to him repeatedly, and he must have heard her ;
but he took no notice, and walked away. At that time
a policeman also heard the screams, and having procured
assistance, the body was found in the harbour, about half-
past three o'clock. At the time when the alarm was
given, Mrs. Dominy went out upon the Quay, and saw the
prisoner's dog standing close to the spotwherethe bodaaaii
afterwards found. The prisoner subsequently admitted •
in the deceased's company on the night in question,
after looking at the body, which was covered up
in a boat, he wrung his hands, and said twice, "
that I hadn't !" He also said, " Oh, that I hadn't beat
her." He then threw himself into the water, but came out
directly afterwards, walking up the landing step. The
body was examined by Dr. Crabb, of Poole, who found
contusions on both eyelids, on the upper and lower
lips, and under the right ear. Between the right elbow
and shoulder there were also marks, as if from pressure by
the band. He was of opinion that the injuries to the
eyelid were caused by external violence during life, and
that death had resulted from submersion in the water.
The jury returned a verdict of "Not Guilty."

THE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG.

Tim glimpses given of the Duke of SAXE
Conuxo and Gorßa in the Quxxzs's books, as well
as his public career, mark the elder brother of the
late Pantcx CONSORT, who has just reached
town from Osborne, as one of the remark-
able men of his time. An ardent liberal, a
philosophical believer in the value of constitutional
government and the destinies of its peoples ; a
wise, far-seeing, unselfish statesman, prepared to
resign his crown in furtherance of the cause of
German unity ; a royal author who has mingled
with men of letters, not from fondness for patron-
age, but out of love and respect for their craft ;
an accomplished musician whose works have fre-
quently been brought out on the stage, Emmy
IV., Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha, is a type of
the beet order of German prince—a type which
recent political changes will perhaps render more
scarce. It is easy to trace his influence
upon his brother, the husband of our
QUEEN. Of similar tastes and aspirations ;
holding, too, the same lofty faith in
life's duties and obligations, both Prince ERNEST
and our own Prince ALBERT were deservedly
favourites of their wise old uncle, the late King of
the ERLOLLNS. That shrewd monarch saw the
influence such qualities ae they possessed were
likely to exercise in their several spheres ;
and it is gratifying to reflect upon the
thoroughness with which each has ful-
filled the high promise of his youth.
The Duke of &ix COBURG and GOTHA is strikingly
like the late Plum= Colson. The same mild
dignity, the same thoughtful reserve, the same
critical but kindly intellect, and the same im-
pressive presence, distinguish them both. That the
guest of to-day should command the respect and
confidence of her hi.a.tasiir follows naturally upon
what we know of his character and career. It is
pleasant to think of the PRINCE Coxeour's brother
mingling in the simple domestic pleasuree of our
Royal Family ; and to reflect that his influence has
ever been for good.

attraction of journalism, as a profession, is the
definite and immediate influence it possesses.
On the other hand, the influence et literaiure,
while it is more subtle, more precious, and mon
endearing, is infinitely less palpable. We know
to a considerable extent what journalism does for
us, but we never can know the power exercised in
the world by a great literary work. We can some-
times estimate, at its full value, the service ten-
dered by an orator, but we cannot approach
towards an estimation of the service rendered by •
poet like MILTON, or a novelist like Oxoaon
ELIOT. Who shall say what SHAKESPEAF.E'S work
has been in the world, or who will venture to
measure the significance of Mr. TENNYSON's
labours 1 This, however, we may safely affirm,
that national greatness does, in large measure,
depend upon a nation's literature, and that great
thoughts, exprened in books, are as essential as
great actions to the vitality and growth of a
people. It is probable that the words stimulate
the deeds quite as much as the deeds inspire the
words.

MILITARY RESERVE FUNDH.

The *sleet committee appointed in February kist
to inquire into the origin of the military referee hind%
the manes from which thew are derived, and the objects
to which they are applied, have mat Ili* Mon: which
was paiashed this morning. From the evidence t,aktn by
the committee it appears that the fund we. croutituted an
its present basis by the Secretary at War in 1850. Slue
that time no balances have been paid over to any
public account, and until 1660 no return in regard
to the fund was rendered to parliament. The return pre-
seated on the 18th February last, however, including •
balance from 1866 of 5,3571., shows the total receipts
for last year to have been 162,5471. 5.., and the expendi-
ture 78,5311. 18a. 4d., leaving • balance of 84,0151. Ad., of
which 65,0001. has been invested in Exchequer bills.
The resources from which this fund is fed are the sales,
in certain cases, of commissions in, succession to officers
retiring on full pay ; the differences between the pur-
chasing price of certain other commissions, and the
amounts which the sellers are entitled to receive, as in
the case of an officer who has not served for twenty
years ; the differences between the value of full pay and
half-pay commissions paid by officers who have received
that mount on going to half-pay ; and the sales, in cer-
tain cases, of first commissions.

The charges borne by the fund, are, like the receipts, of
various kinds. First, there is the allowance granted to
officers retiring on half-pay, who have been permitted to
compound that half•pay for a sum equivalent (in the
ease of an officer of the line) to the regulation
prices of the commissions of the rank from which
they retired, less the difference received between full and
half-pay. These sales of half-pay oommissions, however,
are wily permitted when there is a large balance on the
reserve fond. Then there are the cavalry officers who,
having entered previously to 1860, are entitled, on retire-
ment, to receive from the fund the difference between the
old and new regulation prices of their commissions. In
the cases, too, of Yeomen of the Guard, Gentlemen-at-
Arms, and the Military Train, which, since 1861, have an
been converted from purchase into non-purchase corps,
" compensations to (misting interests " have been
granted out of this fund ; and from it also
have payments been made for the purpose of absorb-
ing commissions which became supernumerary in

consequence of reductions in the regimental establish-
ments ; but these charges were in excess of the receipts of
the fund, and the balance hu been mainly provided by the
sale of first commissions.

raided to the caprice of fortune and proved the
fallibility of racing prophets. Too many an
apprentice will find a temporary solution of
his difficulties in the inside of his masters till,
only to find them renewed in the inside of the
nearest lock-up.
This mischief which, like pale death, beats with
impartial foot at baronial halls and city clerks'
lodgings, is beccining graver and more penetrating.
It is telling upon the national character ; and some
I of its reflex influences may perhaps be traced in
the madness of trading speculations, in bubble com-
panies and contractors' lines, and in the frau-
dulent weights and measures of Lambeth shop-
keepers. I■ there no cure for this worship of
horse-flesh, except a hippophagic one tTo get rid
of the multiplying evils of the turf by converting
possible winners of the Derby into horse-beef
would be a violent remedy. The Doman Em-
peror made his horse a consul. We make
our winner of the Derby a divinity. The
Derby Day has more than the honours of a
Saint's Day in the Parliamentary calendar. The
House of Lords and the House of Commons would
as little think of sitting upon it, as they would of
sitting on a Good Friday. We date from these
annual struggles, and the names of the victors
enter into our chronology. " Dundee's year " is
not less historic than that which passed Colutille

P.4.11E TIK trios.

The Daily Nora states that Mr. [lardy has con-
sented to postpone the second rading of the bill for in.
creasing the police taxation of the metropolis until the
annual accounts, which are required by statute to be pre-
sented, dull be laid before the House of Commons. It is
proposed to increase our police taxation Id. in the pound
on the full rateable value of our household property in
1868 and in subsequent years ; but the accounts for the
year 1g67 will not show why or wherefore. To enable
us to understand what Mr. Hardy is doing and intends to
do with the Metropolitan police we want the estimates off
expenditure on which he has come to the determittation
to increase our taxation ; and the people to be taxed have
quite as much right to have those accounts before them
as the Home-office in making its proposal.
