THE DISTURBANCES IN LISBON.

Almost simultaneously with the strike in
Bologna similar scenes were taking place in Lisbon.
A body of workmen paraded the streets and en-
tered the shops demanding alms. One body
proceeded to the office of the Home
Minister. Some of these were arrested,
and conveyed to gaol under an escort of municipal
guards, cavalry, and infantry. At night the crowd
assumed a more threatening aspect. Stones were
thrown at the municipal guards and police, some
of whom received severe wounds. M. Palmeiro.
the commandant of the Civil Guards, was attacked
at half-past 9 in Capellao-street, and seriously
wounded. At 11 o'clock the various groups were
dispersed. Fifteen persons were arrested.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

MUSIC.

The revival of Roberto It Dial:01o, announced for
Saturday lest, has been deferred to this evening. Instead
of Meyerbeer's work, Gounod's Puna was gives on Satur-
day night, when Mdlle. Varmint, whose (lib& as the Page
in U. Ballo is Moochers was noticed by us ten days rime,
essayed a part of far greeter Importance, having appeared
as Margberita on this 004:111k111. There was much
force of expression in her delivery of the passionate address
to Faust, "Ti vogllo 'mar idolatrar," and the reactionary
feeling of the entreaty, " Fel chiedo per pieta ;^ and her
performance in this scene elicited marked signs
of approval, and a recall at the end of the sot.
In the subsequent cathedral and prison 11(0110,
too, Mdlle. Vanzini displayed much pathos and
moms power; and, although her performance of
the part of Margherita can scarcely be considered to
have realised all its requirements, it was yet one of con-
siderable intelligence and of far more than average merit.

OPERA.

Mdlle. Kellogg is fully sustaining the great stio-
osss which attended her first performances at Her Ma-
jesty's Theatre last year by her recent repetitions of the
characters of Violins in La Traviata, Linda in Linda
di Chansouni, sad Zerlina in Don Giovanni ; this accom-
plished young American artist has oemplasely justified
all the high encoiniume which were elicited by her pre-
vious appearances. On Saioulay night Mdlle. Kellogg
appeared in a part in whioh she had not before been heard
in this oountry—that of Gilda, in Verdi's Rigotetto. The
earlier performances of Mdlle. Kellogg lest year were se
especially distinguished by refinement and gram, sad as
apparent tendency towards &spat musical comedy rather
than to the deeper sentiment and passion of heroic opera,
that few were prepared for the airplay of power which cha-
racterised her performance in Linda di Chaviouni. On Sa-
turday night Mlle. Kellogg gave further proof of her ver-
satility by the dramatic force which she exhibited as the
unhappy daughter of the court jester.

THE STRIKE IN BOLOGNA.

The strike in Bologna seems to have had more
of a political than an economical character. The
masters and workmen as well as the shopkeepers
came to a resolution to abstain from work and to
shut up their shops for three days as a protest
against increase of taxation, and especially against
the income and the grist taxes. Accordingly at
9 o'clock on Tuesday last there was not a
shop open or a vehicle in the streets.
The peasantry, who came as usual with a supply of
food, were met at the gates, and ordered to return
home. A few coffeehouses, which were opened
" for the convenience of the men on strike," had
their windows broken. The windows of the town-
house were also broken, and the municipal officers
were pelted with stones. The printers' so-
ciety issued a placard, in which they declared
that they would only work to bring out
the republican journal, the r Amico-del Popolo.
Some attempts at arrest having been made, the
police were attacked, and the following cries were
raised, " Down with the grist tax !" " Down with
the ministry !" " Long live Martini !" " Long live
Garibaldi !" By direction of the authorities the
office of the Alnico del Popolo was searched, and
the editor, manager, and printer were arrested.
The police were supported by a battalion of infan-
try. Only a fortnight ago the manager of this
journal was tried for attack on the King and his
government, and was acquitted by the jury that
tried the case.

The following placard was posted on the walls of
Bologna during the strike :
Italians,—The monarchy of Buoy has had its trial.
Betrayals upon betrayals, meanness upon meanness, infamy
upon Infamy, humanise upon barassinp. Lepl methods
have been ezhatuted. There remains, therefore, foram only
to reply to the insolent and cowardly conduct of the
Cow/orreries by force. Let us wash our hands in the
blood of these asseamins. Pity for such persons is a crime
—compassion ► sin. To arms, therefore. Let us redeem
our country, and let our unanimous cry be " Down with
the monarchy and up with the republic !"

SCENE OUTSIDE THE OLD BAILEY.

The announcement that the FItDIM trials would be
opened to-day attracted an unusual number of persons
in the Oh tailey this morning, and many more would
doubtless have been present but for the inclemency
of the weather. Beyond idle curiosity it was
difficult to conjecture the motive of the spectator, but
irlten the carriages containing the Lord Chief Justice of
England and Baron I:ramwell entered the court-yard, their
lord hips were e.igerly pointed out by many among the
Broad, Sir R. W. Carden—who represented the Lord
141,y0r —reached the Old Bailey shortly before 10,
and being attired in his official robes, and to-
Cur ',hied by the mace-bearer, he also attracted
much :mention. A large body of the City Polies, under
th, direction of Superintendent Foster, Chief Inspector
Duddy, and Inspector Harrison, were stationed at the
saviour entrances to the court and in the Old Bailey,
and the clause in the Metropolitan Streets Act,
1,97. wherein it is prescribed that no person
shall be allowed to loiter, was with diffi-
culty enforced, the bystanders being continually
ur;ed to "move on." The door set apart for the
witucsses to enter wee eagerly watched, and
oven! whose names were freely mentioned among
looters on were evidently objects of interest.
Nutwitloranding that the entree to the court was only
tl'et'd by means of tickets Issued by the sheriffs and
mart ,bevies, the general public continued to Sock
timber long before the proceedings commenced ; and at •
quut,r past 10 the following notice was posted in front

former provides for the matriculation of unattached Btu-
dents, and the latter coedits of general provision. for
putting unattached students on the same academical foot.
nig as others. The third vote, on the clause relating to

come unattached without leave, was also contested but car-

RAJAII BROOKE.

TIME, which tones down all things, has made
the death of the RASATI of SARAWAK a far less
important historical incident than it would have
been had it occurred a quarter of a century ago.
Then it had been a matter fur fair debate
in Parliament whether tho conqueror of the llyaks
was a strong-minded philanthropist or a rapacious
oppressor, and the extent to which the national
honour was involved in the actions of Sir• JAMES
BROOKE became a matter for grave delibera-
tion. It is unnecessary to revive the discrirsions
which followed the determined suppression of the
Dyak revolt, or to minutely trace the incidents of
a career which made " the RAJAII" a terrible came
to thousands of semi-civilised people. That so
eventful a history should terminate peacefully,
in a quiet English village, and that the country
neighbour of the Devon squires -the pal's-
ly tic old gentleman, whose failing health
drew kindly sympathy from the humble people
near•, should be the Sir• JAMES BROOKE who
created a nationality, and who ruled Sarawak by
the grace of his own right hand, has in it some-
thing of the irony of events. That the governor-
ship of Sidman is regarded as It kiwi of parlianien-
tary pension, and should be now held as a reward
for party zeal. sounds again like a satire upon
the stormy times in which the poet was created,
and the RAJAH made the representative of the
English Crown. Tint Sir JAMES BROOKE belong(
to history. An " adventurer "in the true sen tc of
the word, his life was a perpetual, and in the
main, successful struggle against circumstances to
which weaker men would have succumbed. (base in
rower he suppressed piracy, aided commerce, ani
promoted civilisation in his own summary sad effec-
tive way. Like Kane potentates nearer home,
when liis own authority was secured he promoted
pubic liberty wilhiu such limits as he himself

('RICKET.-/THIS DAY)

LORD'S GROUND.
Y.C.C. AND GROUND V. CAJUIRLDWI UNIVEIIII3Y.

This, the first of the University " trial matches,"
commenced to-day at Lord's Ground in the most bril-
liant weather, and in the presence of a good
muster of old University men and connoisseurs.
The play commenced at 12.17, Messrs. Dale
and Savile being the batsmen, and Wootton and Grundy
the bowlers. As usual at Lord's, both were on the spot,
but the young Cantabs were quite equal to the
occasion, and batted in the meet finished style.
At the cud of half an hour only 18 were booked,
which may be accepted us a good proof of the fine de-
fence of Messrs. Savile and Dale. The former's wicket
was felled by the second hell of Wootton's sixteenth over,
his contribution being 12.

THREE e CLOCK.

Wootton was in grand bowling form. He next howled
Mr. Money's leg stump. Mr. H. A. Richardson came in,
but even his fine defence, was not proof against Wootton's
deadly onslaught, for with the score at 69, he sent
his middle stump flying. When Mr. Stow went in, Major
Milfnnn took up the bowling at Grundy's end, and soon
after Wootton carried away his off stump. The major
next bowled Mr. Warner, taking out his "middle." Mr.
S. Lytteltou was finely caught in the slip. Mr. J. M.
Richardson followed, and Wootton had another "middle."
At 3 o'clock the score stood as under:

ELECTIO.VKARING.

Till: Reform Act of 1867 is likely to make con-
verts to Mr. MILL'S doctrines of purity of election.
'I he constituencies which it creates threaten to be
so unwieldy as to make bribery a physical impossi-
bility. It is difficult by a single act of purchase to
corrupt 60,000 people. If the electors of England
had but one paha, and that an itching one, as, iu
the aspirations of the Roman Emperor, the
citizens of Rome had but a single neck,
it might be practicable to purchase their
suffrages. But wholesale dealing is out of
the question ; and retail dealing will in-
volve operations too minute, complex, and nume-
rous to be practised with success. A corrupt
minority might indeed hold out to the last
moment with a view of driving a good bargain ;
but this minority, if it be on the scale the
Act threatens to introduce, will be as
great as many whole constituencies hitherto ac-
counted large. Among the vast number of
electors who may be expected to remain unpolled at
the close of the election, some of them too honest
to be bribed, but not patriotic enough to vote, it
will hi hazardous to bribe a comparatively small
number; .for the bribe might be thrown away
through the honesty or the counter-corruption
of a majority of the unpolled residue. Large
constituencies have generally been incorrupt,
not always from superior morality, but some-
times from inferior opportunity. The Reform
Act of 1867 will not, therefore, in the great towns
;if England, make elections more a matter of par-
:ills.° or sale than they have heretofore been.
This circumstance may seem to be a point in favour
of the Government scheme of extending
the boundaries of boroughs, without divid-

SCHOOL PRIZES.

PERHAps the happiest being in this world is the
schoolboy let loose for the holidays after a half-
year of very successful work. He carries home the
praises of his master, has perhaps more than one
gorgeously-bound prize book in his box, and is con-
scious 4.4 being the envy and admiration of a score of
youngsters who will recount his achievements with
pardon able exaggeration to their sisters and friends.
This is fame, this is victory ! without any of the
alley which inevitably dims the lustre of success
in manhood. To win school prizes in the face of
fifty competitors is like winning a battle, or
gaining a name in literature, or discovering a new
planet, or charming the world with noble oratory
—and it is a greater joy than any of these because
the victor is young and has never tasted sorrow.
We almost fear that some schoolmasters make
capital out of the exultant feeling which we have

IMILWAT CONTI:DT:RATION.

The Time, comments upon a letter addressed to it by
Mr. Welkin respecting the proposed amalgamation of the
three great railways south of the Thames, and concerning
which the public have taken so much alarm. The Tunes
confesses that to it the letter, which might have said all
that it was necessary to say in three lines, is a puzzle.
It has been distinctly stated that the companies propose
to charge third-clam peumengers three-halfpence a mine; to
count as six miles any distance less than six miles ; to levy
a special tax upon their customers for the use of the metro-
politan stations, and to make all pumengen; by "express"
trains pay whatever the directors may think fit to demand.
It is also strongly suspected that the price of season tickets
is to be raised, to the grievous inconvenience of suburban
reaidents, and upon none of there points does Mr. Iva-
kin's letter contain any information or assurance. The
Times does not deny the right to amalgamate; but
contends that unialgsrontions designed to insure the cunt-
penke against mutual attacks should not be attended by
any inipsitious on their unoffemling customers.

ITN 1111 W ANII.IIII.OAK AIIIASI4IIOII.

The appointment of Mr. ReveMy Johnson as
envoy to ()rest Britain is treated as a subject of congra-
tulation by the Timm aad the heity News. It if harm-
says the former, that any minister ennui have been
acenslihsl to us whom we should receive with more confi-
dence an the honoured spokenumn of a great nation. It in
a lawyer that Mr. Johnson's reputation waseetatilbdteri. and
he corners to sib with the assurunee that in a time of un-
peralleled ■nimosity he has won the approhati,Al of
both the contending parties of the Union. Ills practiasd
intellect will he found trained to discuss the questions now
pending or which may arise between the United Ntate4
and our'clva, with judicial precision and impartiality;
and we do but expnno, the concurrent testimony of all
ob-ervers in adding that to dignity of character and
bielitlih of learning are allied a peculiar dorm of manner.
The I.olvempondent of tho Doily !tires at New York says
the nppointment has been regarded every where in the
States with satinfartion. A gentleman by character,
uttainin its, and bearing, Mr. Johnson is well fitted to
represent his country here, and to sustain the high
standaid of comparison by which Mr. Adams's successor
will nete,sarily be judged. Seventy-two is a somewhat
advanee,l age at which to exchange law for diplomlicy;
but we have had Pi ime Ministers and Foreign Secretaries
eonsidelahly older, and Mr. Itevonly Johnson's legal
knowledge may prove of use in the amicablo adjustment
of existing controversies.

The plaintiff was president of the United Methodist
Free Church, and resided at Exeter. In November, 1866,
he was travelling from Manchester to Bristol. when the
train in which he was ran into a luggage train near Stock-
port. He was very much shaken, and rendered for a
time insensible. Ever since hiahealth had declined, and
he had been unable to preach. His sight had been se-

REVENCR OFFICERS AND THEIR VOTEA.

The 14,0 ridicules the objection of the Board of Cue.
terns that the removal of the electoral disabilities of their
officers would lead to the " imputation of political
motives" and " introduce political agitation." The es-
ercire of political power always brings difficulties and
suspicions to those connected with its exercise ; but that
has never been considered a sufficient reason for with.
holding the power; on the contrary. it is often advanced
as a reason for giving it, seeing that it forces men to use
their wits a little. It may be possible that fresh regula-
tions may have to be made by the departments to secure
the proper and forbearing exercise of the voting power
which should mark the government ofilcial, but as to the
propriety of giving the right itself there can be no sort of
doubt.

The Daily Neva refers to the experience of Mr.
Monk's bill in the House of Commons as an illus-
tration of the disorganisation of the present house as an
instrument for the transaction of public business. If
there WWI no discuseion on the second reading, that was
the fault of the government, who were absent when the
bill eame on. But it ie not so clear as it ought to be that
the government did want discussion, for they declined to
grant Mr. Monk a morning sitting, or to afford him any
facilities for bringing forward the measure.

TILE MISSING DESPATCHES.

PEOPLE are almost tired of looking for the
official despatches from Abyssinia, and the pro-
longed delay is the more unaccountable from the
ample details furnished from the seat of war by
the various newspaper correspondents. The re-
cognised channels of information have been abso-
lutely silent, and but for the private enterprise of
our public journals the country would be without
specific information respecting the most interesting
expedition of modern times. We believe
the situation to be without parallel in the
history of modern war. That the government of a
great country should not be informed by its officers
of the details of their success, and that the entire
realm should at the same time be minutely informed
of the army's behaviour and condition is a truly
anomalous condition of affairs. " Horseback de-
" spatches," namely, haatyaooounta of battles scrib-
bled off almost before their close, were not uncom-
mon during the Peninsular war; and the Emperor of
the FRENen, when on the plains of Solferino, made
it his first care that his home-staying subjects
should be apprised in detail of the triumph of the
national arms. But it is now two months since the
attack on Magdala, and several weeks since the un-
official accounts of it were published. The delay,
and the profound official ignorance in which the
proper ministers are kept, are due, no doubt, to some
perfectly natural and simple causes. Meanwhile all
are alike anxious for the despatches, and alike in-
debted to the special correspondents of the metro-
politan press. We have heard of military expe-
ditions in which " newspaper fellows" have been
consistently thwarted and annoyed by the autho-
rities. Ever since Magdala fell, they have been
the most valuable public servants in the force.

NOW, @COM AND THE COMMEILLTION.

Mentioning the fact that Mr. Bright is to call the
attention of the House of Commons to-morrow evening to
the complaints of the Nova Scotian' as to the Act of Con-
federation, the Star assumes that already the action upon
the interests of Nova Scotia has been proved to be detri-
mental. We have bad enough of enforced unions. It
cannot have been the pturpose of the imperial legislature
to make an Ireland close upon the borders of the United
States. If we erred in sanctioning confederation against
the wishes of the Nova Scotian", we erred in ignorance,
and we are ready, it is certain, to redeem our character for
justice.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

WE should be sorry if the Crystal Palace autho-
rities, misled either by a wish to do honour to
ELANDEL, or by a lust for high priori, were to
render their charming holyday-place inaccessible
to the classes who are its main support. It is an
unpleasant thing to be tabooed, and if it be true,
as stated by a correspondent of the Times, "that
" the middle-class multitude are compelled to
" enjoy their Crystal Palace concert at from 200
" to 300 yards distance from the orchestra, under
" a blazing sun and a Mindless glass," we fear
that in the long run the shareholders will suffer by
the mistake. The establishment at Sydenham is
the people's palace or nothing. It is tolerably
clear, however, that the shilling public are
at a discount when expensive oratorios and monster
concerts are in progress ; and all that can be asked
is that they should not be made to feel their re-
duced value too painfully. An old complaint
against a popular suburban pleasure-garden was
that the admission fee as advertised far and wide
conferred little more on those paying it than the
privilege of being permitted to make further dis-
bursements. One shilling admitted to the garden,
but many shillings were required to explore its
amusements or behold its sights. It is noto-
rious that the Crystal Palace has popu-
larised its attractions to an extent which its
original promoters never contemplated, and that
the clever skit upon its esthetic pretensions put
forward by the lute ALBERT SMITH has been res.
liaed almost literally at its great revels and film
It will be a thousand pities, hcnveyer, if its
managers extend its assimilation to other specu-
lative pleasure-places too far, and fall into the error
of shelving the general public in favour of those
who are willing to pay extra bonuses and fees.

THE Mont Cenis Railway is to be opened to

BETTING IN LONDON.--SATUIDir.

The slabs were thronged to-day, and as might be el-
an extraordinary amount of Interest was r maid-
estleeddin the procee d ings.SIMMS opened with the back-
ing Forams for She Two Thousand, her sappxNes
always accepting 11 to 2 readily, and oemdmaliy when
there odds ware not obtainable contenting themselves with
half a past less. Aa on the previous day, Sir Joseph
Hawley s three were assigned the most prominent parte in
the programme. Green Sleeve was supported for money
at Bto 1, and left off firm at that figure Rosicruoian de-
clined to 100 to 9, and some of his friends coming to the
remue the offers shorteried to 100 to 10, at which price
several investments were mad*, and for a tune the longest
quotation wee 9to 1 ; ultimately, however, 10 to 1 was
again offered. The opening offer of 200 to 10 against Blue
Gown was accepted, and other small outlays were made on
the like terms ; but the hostility directed against him waa so
marked and pmdstent he became a shade better, bp
Sanissin, Vale Royal, and Moslem were all healthy at their
respective quotations, but Pace went rather shiftiy far
after 15 to 2 bad been booked in his favour he dedito 10
to 1, at which point two or three " ponies " were laid out,
and the final offer was 9to 1. Bt. Ronan had evidently ex-
perienced a " bad night," as much as 40 to 1 being laid
against him. Chelsea proved slightly in request at 100 to
3, while 40 to 1 was taken and asked for about Harvester.
Wagering on the Chester Cup was almost confined to the
two favourites—Paul Jones and Dalby-7 to 1 being booked
in favour of the first-named, while 10 to 1 was taken
freely, and asked for about the latter. For the Derby
Green Sleeve and Blue Gown were both in force ; 2,800 to
200 was booked an behalf of the mare, and another 1001.
would have been entrusted to her at a like rate. 1,000 to
80 was accepted at least five times about Blue Gown, and
500 to 40 twigs or thrice. There was • great disposition to
lay against Pace, offers of 15 to 1 being loudly shouted in
two or three places, and his partisans making no sign.
After 1,000 to 5 had been laid against St. Ronan 2,000 to
20, and 1,000 to 15 were booked. At the last-named odds
Typhoeus was supported twice, and a " tanner " was ven-
tured on Paul Jonas at 100 to L Closing prices :
