THREE WOMEN DROWNED.—An accident of a
fatal character occurred about midway between the
parishes of Southey and Littleport on Wedneed,,T_morn-
ing about 7.30. A young woman named Edwards
was driving her sister and a friend, Mrs. Nailer, to the
Littleport station. When they bad passed a place called
Brand-creek about half a mile the road runs along the
side of the river, the Great Ouse. The stream is much
lower than the road, and the declivity is very steep. From
some unknown cause the animal, which wai Mad, went
on this declivity, and the pony and cart and the three
women were thi own into the river; the women were all
drowned. No one witnessed the accident, but a person
law something in the river plunging, which proved to ba
the pcny, about 20 or 30 minutes after the accident is
supposed to have happened.

THIS 1111111 IT SILL.

The Times regards Mr. Disraeli's statement
yesterday evening in reference to the above bill as, on the
whole, eminently satisfactory. The plan now adopted is
that originally proposed by Mr. Disraeli himself, and the
provisions of the scheme have evidently been settled in
consultation with the Common Law Bench. The propo-
sal, however, that no valiancy in the courts of common
law shall be filled up while the measure is being tried,
without the consent of parliament, is objectionable,
and is apart from the general scheme. Amongst
the new clauses the Dews would strongly peer those
brought forward by Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Labonehere, and
others, for throwing on the constituencies themselves the
expenses of the formal machinery of elections, the consti-
tuencies being guarded against vexatious contests by the
deposit of security on behalf of each candidate. Mean-
while our contemporary takes it as certain that the bill
will become law this session, though it counsels Mr.
Disraeli to use the power at his disposal to make the best
of the amendments and supplementary clauses on the
notice book.

l'ho Plegraph insists that the plan now proposed must
bo considered as merely provisional. From the ex-
tensive and numerous changes which have boon sue-
eciaively made in the bill, it is quite clear that the
llouse of Commons does not know its own mind
in the matter. The !Rustle of an almost concluded
session, an approaching general election, and a more
than canicular temperature, are conditions not favourable
to the calm and deliberate consideration of any recondite
scheme to reconstruct the electoral judicature. Accord-
ingly, what we must now consider is not a finally per-
foetal plan, but that which time and circumstances per-
mit. By limiting the act to a specified number of years,
the representatives; of the people may secure to themselves
the right to resume their authority at the expiration of the
appointed period.

This case was ared last week, when certain questions
were put to the judges and answered in the negative;
The Lord Chancellor, in delivering judgment this morn-
ing, said their lordships had now had an opportunity of
considering the opinion delivered to the house by her
ajesty's judges on this writ of error. The
points argued in the case were substantially
throe; first, whether the challenge to ono
of the jurors on account of age was a sufHcient and proper
challenge ; seeondly, whether the challenge to another
juror and likewise to the array on the ground that the
name of the juror bad not boon inserted in the sheriff's
hook for 1866, but only in that of 184 was a challenge
which ought to bo allowed; and thirdly, whether the
indictment was open to objection by reason
of the manner in which the overt acts wore,
set forth. Ile believed that at the close of
the argument their lordships entertained very little doubt
on the subject, although they thought proper to submit
certain questions to the judges. The opinion of the learned
judges appeared to him to be most clear and satisfactory,
and entirely in accortlanee with the views entertained 17
their !ordains at the time of the bearing. He was
unwilling to add anything to what had been so clearly and
kindly capreased, and would therefore move that this ap-
prat be iii.missed and the judgment of the Court of Quinn

This was a motion for decree in this cane, the faot4 of
which we reported some time since. The suit having
abated by the death of the late Lord Brougham was re-
vived by the present Lord Brougham, his sole executor.
The order made was that the Court being of opinion
that the defendant was entitled to a lien on
the documents deposited with him for selection, &c.,
for the amount of remuneration which should be found
due to him for services rendered in connection with those
documents, refer it to Chambers to ascertain that amount;
the defendant to give up the papers to the plaintiff, who
was to produce them for the purposes of the inquiry, the
plaintiff undertaking to pay what shall be found due to
the defendant. Reserve the costs.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—ThrzaDAT, Me 19.
Ix the Roost of Loans the Bishop of LONDON,
En presenting a petition from certain' members of
the senate of the University of Cambridge, praying
that the religious character of the oolleges might be
maintained, stated that ho did not apprehend that
the admission of persons other than members of the
established church to the senate would make any
essential difference in the character of the senate,
but he agreed with the petitioners that the govern-
ment of the colleges should be reserved to the esta-
blished church. There would be no objection to
giving fellowships as prizes without their involving
any share in the management of the colleges.
The Archbishop of Cairrumuay, replying to
Lord Taunton, said the Ritual Commission were
busily engaged in preparing their second report,
and he hoped it would be presented in a short
time.
The house adjourned at five minutes after six

OUR PARIS LETTRR.

THE ALLEGED POISONING CASE.
A FAIRE ACCUSATION.
(saMI ma ow" coaszeroaricrr.)

PARIS, THETIMIDAY

All three of the Nicol prisoners are acquitted.
It could not have been otherwise with any decent
regard to jutioe. The Proeureur-Imperial, follow-
ing those bad traditions in obedience to which a
public prosecutor looks upon an accused person as
" game " to be hunted down, went in for a oonvio-
tion of, at least, somebody. He did not greatly
press the case against the respectable old man,
Chariot, and the decent servant-maid, Francoise ;
and in order to modal the censcanos of the jury in
cam they should pronounce an unjust condemnation
he suggested " extenuating circumstances" for
Madame Texier. M. Lethal* for the &Aimee, had
an easy teak. The pest danger for the prisoners was
that M. Leland has such a peat reputation es the
defender of celebrated murderers that the jury
might set themselves obstinately against his elo-
quence, and suppose him a man who could do
nothing elite but show the worse to be the better
reason. In the present instance, however, the
great advocate only echoed the feeling of every-
body who heard, and everybody who has care-
'4l7 read the report of the trial. The
diet piemers were all of spotless charestre

TIE PUBLIC EXTENDIIT Ht.

The TetegropA urges the fact that in the course of five
years, or rather th rough tho operation of five liberal budgets,
taxes were remitted to the amount of 13,680,0001., and
yet, within the same five years, occurred such an annual
surplus that 12,860,0001. was struck off the national debt.
On the other side, what do we find P The tory govern.
ment, succeeding to power In 1966, at once began to in-
utile* the expenditure, and continued the process during the
following year, until the budget for 1868 showed an
estimated disbursement of 3,190,00 W. over that of 1865.
In other words, the careful savings of four years had
been dissipated in little more than two. Even that, how-
ever, is not the worst. Much of the additional outlay
represents the amount by which the expenditure of each
year exceeded the estimate. The real truth is, that even
Mr. Gladatone's reduced estimates were too high; and
if be had followed the advice of so competent an au-
thority a/Oho late Mr. Cobden, he would have summarily
struck millions off the total for which he asked, and left
the departments to get on as best they could with the
redwood amount

THE NAVIGATION OF THE RHINE.

The negotiations for the navigation of the Rhino
have been broken off. The cause of their failure
Las been the ivfusal of Holland to agree to the
following claws, :—" The Dutch government will
take care that the navigation is not impeded on
the rivers, lit mann, and canals which connect the
Rhine with tho high was, by Dordrecht, Rotter-
dam, and Helvoctsluys." The objection taken by
the Dutch government was that, by accepting this
duty, they would give the riverain powers a pre-
text for interfering.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Sewn 11.

The Moniteur of this morning contains so ac-
count of the review of the troupe in the Camp of
Chalons held by the Emperor yes'eirday. Tie
Majesty impressed to General Lebcouf his satisfac-
tion at the precision with which the evolutions of
the troops had been executed.
The Mouittur in its bulletin also says that the•
resignation of Signor Cadorna and his temporary
replacement by Signor Cantelli, Minister of Pub-
lic Works, do not indicate any notablo change in
the interior pulley of the Italian cabinet.
The announcement of the departure of the Em-
peror yeAerday for Fontainebleau was premature.
The Menifeur says :—" His Majesty will only
leave the Camp of Chalons to-day."

LIBERAL CANDIDATES AND TORY
• CONSTITUENCIES.

Readers of election news cannot have failed to ob-
serve that while in some constituencitsi three, four,
and even five Liberal candidates are struggling for
two seats, in others up to this time the Conserva-
tives have the field to themselves, and are looking
lorwurtl to a quiet walk over the course. It, is
obvious that, unless in many instances the liberal
interest is united, the certain result must be the
return of a Conservative, and every seat thus
gained to the nUnistivialiste means a lose of two
votes to Mr. Gladstone in the great division in
December next. Within the past few days the
het of places in which the liberals are divided has
been lessened. At Portsmouth, the mayor, Mr.
R. A. Davie*. has withdrawn his candidature rather
than im the return of Messrs. Stoneand Gaselce;
at Angiesen, the committee of Lord Clarence Paget
have advised his retirement ; at Hereford, Captain
Scott Jervis has retired ; a similar course bailie=
taken by Captain German at Preston ; at York,
Mr. Turner withdrew, rather than embarrass his
party; and at Taunton Mr. Cole, Q.C., and Mr.
Di my James will abide by the decision of a test
vote. Much. however. remains to be done in the

THE BRITISH DEANA.

The Ste/ contends that traders on sensation and realism
have reduced the British drama ton lamentable depth of
degradation Mr. Boucicault, the arch-offender, in
writing down for the public taste has founded a school of
disciples who imitate his tendencies to realism without
powering any of the art which enables theis great mantes
to throw a glamour over it, and whom productions, in
consequence, are bald and hideous in the extreme. Real
Hansom cabs and real potato-cane, real fire-enginee and
reel horses, views of Blacktriars-bridge by moonlight,
Charing-cross in the snow, and Waterloo-bridge with a
real toll-taker exacting real halfpence, have climaxed in
an se-nearly-that-as-possible railway train, filled with
real passengers reading real evening papers, These
realistic effects carried out, it must be allowed, with con-
summate skill and thorough knowledge of this require-
ments of the stage, by men who years ago won their spars
in a nobler cause, act as the sweetmeat for the sake of
which the gullible British public swallows a woe ammo-
Vag dramatis soacootion.

A THEATRICAL GRIEVANCE.

WHITERR upon theatrical matters are very fond
of laughing at the way in which the performs:ions
at the music-halls are interrupted by eating,
drinking, and the touting of waiters; but the
theatres have troubles onnneeted with " refresh-
" newts" which are all the more intolerable boeauso
they yield no profit. Theme generally reach their
greatest height in the autumn, when nuts are
plentiful and cheap, and the occupants of the
galleries are not to he weaned from an indulgence
in their appetites by the intellectual attractions of
the aensational drama. Heroes and heroines-
- leading" ladies and gentlemen who play senti-
mental parts—have a particular horror of this
reason, for in spite of the "notices' prominently
posted in all theatres, the "cracking of nuts"
will interfere with the effect of the most tender
passages of dialogue and the most thrilling situa-
tions. Actors of a very sensitive disposition,
whose command of money is groat, and who
are in the habit of looking after their own in-
terests in the " front of the house." hare been
known to buy up all the nuts expo;i4 for sale
outside the theatre in which they were acting to
rave tluniselves from this annoyance. It is not
only in the eo-culled minor or local theatres that
nut-cracking in popular ; the performances at some
of the west-end houses are exposed to this running
litiximpaniment of unauthorised music. The con-
stable of the theatre is powerless to stop it, unless
he is aided by a dramatist of all-powerful genius.

Tnis long stay of the Queen of Parssts with
her son-in-law, the Grand Duke of attisr, in the
Isle of Meinau, has been the subject of remark
in Germany ; and now the report is revived
that the Baden Government intend to formally
demand the admission of the duchy into the
Northern Confederation. The French journals
which are perpetually declaring that Prussia shall
not be allowed to absorb the Southern German
States, are asked, with mock deference, if the pro-
hibition is 60 absolute as to apply to the case of a
State which seeks spontaneously to cuter the
Northern Confederation

771 E OLOI7CESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

THURSDAY.

Beautiful weather shines, on the festival, the
third day or which has now passed off with a sne-
cces equal to that of tho previous porformancos.
The first portions of this morning's programme
consisted of selections from Spohr's Oratorio
eafrary- (lies Ileiland's letzte Standen). and from
Herr Schaehner's s Adorn from Babylon, the
second part being occupied with a performance,
of Mendulssohn'e Hymn of Praise (Lobgesang), and
a selection from Handel's Samson. The latter was
somewhat unfairly placed at the end of a pro-
gramme so unduly extended. This great oratorio,
which immediately followed the Messiah, marked
the period of Handel's reviving fortunes after their
decline at the date of the latter work. The com-
poser himself is said to have held the Samson in
equal catectu with its predecessor. Yesterday's
I' formance of the selection from Samson was
marked by several features of excellence
—above all, by the splendid singing of
Mr. Sims Reeves in the well-known air,
" Total Eclipse," which was given with an inten-
sity of feeling and elevated sentiment that he him-
self has never surpassed, and that therefore no
other tenor has equalled. It produced a moil
profound impression on the whole audience, plainly
evidenced notwithstanding the absence of all
applause. Millie. Titien's brilliant bravura sing-
ing in the air, " Let the bright seraphim," with
Mr. Thomas Harper's excellent trumpet amain-
paninieut, was another effective feature. We can
but briefly mention, as other points of in-
terest in the closing portion of the morn-
ing's performance, Madame Sainton Dolby's
admirable singing of the contralto air,
" Return, 0 God of Hosts;" Mr. Rigby's effective
rendering of the air, " Why does the God," as
also of the tenor part of the duet, " Go, baffled
coward," the bass part powerfully supported by
Mr. Lewis Thomas; Mr. Santley's fine singing of
the air, " How willing my paternal love "—and
the solemn effect of the instrumental " Dead
March."

The collection to-day amonnte to 881. As. 73.,
besides a smaller sum, after early morning prayers,
not yet ascertained.
Of the second concert in the Shire-hall we
must speak together with that of to-night.

ship figured as defendant yesterday in a case
which, as one of its chief actors prophesied, will
furnish abundant amusement to the public. Mr.
SAMUEL Prrr, of Montagu-place, Marylebone,
and a Justice of the Pesos, holds firm, not to say
eccentric, views as to the rights and duties of
domestic servants. He treats them with kind-
ness, but their letters must not be addressed
" Miss " on penalty of being opened by
" master ;" " he has scruples about them " until
they are " confirmed ;" and as black-edged
paper is more expensive than plain, be
demurs to its being used by their relatives
or friends. In fulfilment of one of these
iditisyncracies, and after observing his genial)
custom " of taking all letters to bed with him on
" Saturday night, and after having slept on them
" opening them on-Sunday morning," Mr. Prrr
opened a letter addressed to " Mies GRovia," a
servant in his employ. The girl's aunt objected
to this, and on going to the nearest police station
for advice, found there the Marquis of Towireirsins,
