POLAND.

A Warsaw correspondent of the J.,untal de P.
remarking on the outburst of European indigna•
tion occasioned by the projected legislation againit
the Roumain Jews, asks " whether the Russian
law which deprives ten millions of Poles of the
right of acquiring land in Polish provinces which
have become an integral portion of the Russian
empire, is less barbarous, and whether the forcel
sale of their lands is humane and just. "
were Jews, and not Catholics," he says, " our fate
perhaps would excite more interest and sy-mpsthy
amongst Christians."

OPENING OF THE CORTES.
LISBON, APRIL 15, ETENING.
The Cortes was opened to-day by the King in
person, who delivered a very brief speech.
His Majesty said that the Queen had gone to
Italy by the invitation of her father the King of
Italy. The Minister of Finance would shortly
present bills to the Cortes for improving the public
credit and for re-organising the financial system of
the kingdom. Public instruction was receiving
attention. Measures had been taken to tno-
quillise the country.

WAR AND PEACE.

"Everywhere," says the Debate, "people are
inquiring whether pesos or war is to be the upshot
of the difficult situation in which Europe is plarod
'just now, and the most contradictory answers are
given to the question. The Moscow Gazette athrrns
that very delicate explanations are being et.
changed between the cabinets of Paris and Berlin
with respect to the simultaneous meeting of
the Customs-linion and Federal Parliaments
in the latter city. According to the saute journal,
the visit of the Prince of Prussia to Florence is in-
dicative of the continuance of the cordial under-
standing between Prussia and Italy, and General
Moral:wee has caused it to be intimated to Gari-
baldi that approaching events may bring the
Italians to Rome sooner than is expected. Thia
ie
certainly news which, if true, is anything but
pacific. But at the same moment the Vienna
Prose takes upon itself to elemonstrate that Den.
mark can find no Power to undertake to de.
mend the execution of the fifth ar►icle of
the Treaty of Prague ; that Austria which
alone would be entitled to interfere is not bound
to do so, and has no interest in the matter ; at.d
furthermore that France does not care to know
whom Duppel and Alsen belong. Finally, the
Epoque announces that French and Prussian cliplo.
matists are engaged in negotiations for • mutual
disarmament, to begin w.th a reduction of one tear s
service in the landwehr and the Garde Mobile,
The Journal de Paris confirms this gc of news, and
states that the idea originated at the diplomatic
reception last Thursday during a conversation be.
tween M. de Goltz and M. de Moustier but is or.
able to say to which of them the initiative is due."
The war prophets must be incorrigible pess..
mists indeed, if, after this diplomatic coup (I,
which is to reduce the period of service in the
Prussian landwehr and the French Garde Mobi!e
by one year, they persist in believing iu the pozil•
bility of war.

OOPENILLGRN. APRIL 15.
The Daybiad of to-day, in its French review, says
it is true that the negotiations with Prussia rela-
tive to North Schleswig have not been broken off,
but that they are hopelessly dragging on. It also
denies the rumour that a partial agreement has
been arrived at, and says ft is impoolible for Den,-.
mark to give the guarantees rrniared, and that.
the frontier line proposed by • would be
moat unacceptable to Denmark. he review
concludes by expressing oonfia he

that the Danish people are animated by gra-
titude towards Frame* for het intorvention at
the conclusion of the treaty of Prague.
The official Berta iooke Tideside sap that the
health of the Urand Duchess Marie (Plißosal

to suppose that the climate of St. Petersh'arff is
injurious to her. The rumours *matted to that

the magistrate that it ought to he destroyed, to order
its destruction by a police-constable.

THE ITNIVERIIMICS OP °De= AND CIAMBRIDOIL
Play was resumed at five minutes past 12 to-day
at Lord's, there being a good muster of spectators pt esent!
and the weather was again favourable. The "not outs,'
Mr. Weighell with 19 and Mr. J. M. Richardson with 14,
again occupied the wickets, and Messrs. Fellowes and
Kenney being the assailants. Both the latter were in
first-rate form, and run-getting was impossible. Eleven
overs were delivered without a run • off the last ball of the
12th Mr. Weighell made an off drive for 3, and in the
next Mr. Kenney clean bowled Mr. J. M. Richardson, the
score being at 230. Exactly at half-past 12 the last
wicket collapsed,: Mr. Brune being beautifully caught in
the slip. A • cricket curiosity" may be meniioned—not
a single run was made off Mr. Fellows' this morning,
although be delivered nine overs. The innings closed for
236, which leaves Oxford 260 runs to get to win. Messrs.
Matthews and Fortoscue commenced their task at a
quarter to 1.
Tat= o'CLocx.

Mr. Mathews's wicket was the first to surrender, the
total being 13. Mr. Pauncefote joined Mr. Fortescue, and
a "stand was made, both bitting with great freedom.
The fielding of the light blues was good, and the exoellent
cricket was frequently applauded. At 46 the " slows "
were instituted. Off them Mr. Pauncefote was missed
stumping by Mr. IL A. Richardson. In his next over Money
caught Fortescue off his own bowling (a beautiful catch).
At 62 Mr. Lipsoombe was similarly treated by Mr. Abla-
tor°. A series of " let offs" then occurred (four in three
ovens). Mr. Pauncefote was bowled by Mr. Absolom, and
shortly after Mr. Rigby by Mr. Money. The following

RITE GETIERILL ELECTION.

The Telegraph cautions the liberal party at the general
election against such division of electoral forces as will
give aid and comfort to the enemy. An attempt on the
part of any association, or any prominent individuals, to
divide the liberals of any town, is so inexcusable, that it
can be accounted for only through grate personal vanity,
or, in some cases, through the corrupting influence of Tory
gold. The man who, calling himself a liberal, divides the
party, and thus helps a tory to come in, must either be the
dupe of his own egregious personal pretensions or simply
an unavowed agent of the Carlton Club. It is very easy
for the rival candidates to ascertain, by preliminary can-
vass, or, if needful, by preliminary poll, who commands
the larger amount of party support , and let the successful
man—whether he be county aristocrat, known politician,
local merchant, radical orator, or working man—be nomi-
nated as the candidate of the party, and supported without
reluctance or reserve.

TEE ART OF SPENDING MONEY.—To
make moray is a universal desire, acid the art of spending
it wisely requires but little *tidy to render h smugly unbend.
Philosophers agree that money savedbmoney made, consequently
It is of the utmost importance that • parebaeer should adept the
moat advantageous method of expending it. Those who can pay
ready money hold a great power ; still they cannot obtain the
full value which It naturally commands unless they select houses
in which business is conducted on ready money prinelpke ex-
. cludvely. The keen competition between houses of this order
I presents advantages to the public which no other system can
offer. The exclusive ready-money indent Is to buy with, es well
uto sell for ready money. Manufactured and merchants are
attracted to houses on that system, and dispose of to those
inns the great accumulations and oversdirons of goods
which must be sold at a lose Thus the power of the
ready-mona system stocks the warehouse this largeportion of
its goods at lower prices than the cost of production, and forms
i the first of the three main elements which constitute the selling
1 power of the reedy-money system. The second element is the
1 avoidance of iceo. No credit is given, consequently no extra
profits are required to cover bad debts. The third element Is
the economy of time. No statements are made, consequently
no waste of time in aegnmmt to settle the price, which Is
marked upon each article fn plain figures; otherwise it would
require the expense of three times the number of sulatanta to
do the same amount of badness. To add extra profits for the
purpose of taking oil a Mumma, making en abatemeneor an allow-
ance, is against the ideas of a trader upon the true ready-money
system. ring twenty-two years the above system has beep
*idly carried oat, to the great advantage of all parties, by

THE CUSTOM PARLIAMENT.

BERLIN, Aran. 88.
At to-day's sitting of the Customs Parliament,
Dr. Simeon was elected President, and Prince
Hobanlobe, the Bavarian Premier, first Vice-Pre-
sident. In returning thanks for his election, Dr.
Simeon, referring to the time when he prt•sided
over the German parliament at Frankfort, in 1848,
said that he recognised in the present choice a
kindly remembrance of days long gone by. The
, present as
ofsembly was a proof of the inseparable
character the ties connecting the German people.
Prince Hohenlohe considered his election as Vice-
President to have taken place out of regard for
the South Germans, and would willingly meet the
good feeling it exhibited in a friendly spirit. He
trusted that patriotic unit-7 and the devotion of all
to the common course would bring about a solution
of the various questions to be considered.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE REPRESS•

SIR,—In your most graphic description of the
scene in the Central Criminal Court on Monday, which
appeared in the Express of last evening, you say that the
Lord Chief Justice ' laboured under • remarkable mis-
apprehension" as toone portion of Barrett's speech ,adding
It included these words-` ine standing, and looking
into the grave, I most solemnly declare that at the time
those people swore I was at that place, I was in Scotland.'
To which. the Lord Chief Justice rather unaccountably
answered, lam glad there has been no attempt on your
part t
the aneegrifse ;It
tuor part of prodefenes rested on
undesirable teat of your impression should beispnyerb
o-
rally received on this subject, and as the above wen-
manta appear to me to be founded on a inisooreez
tion, I lie, leave to call attrition to the
of Barrett, which lead up to those above quoted. They are
as follow' :—" I will now turn to the Mghly-reepecitable
witnesses from Put rt. As to the ',lames of the
woman Beroaley, I it is rather too inconsistent to bear
part in depriving • human being of life. She swore she saw
me for two months at that woman's house, and on several
occasions, on one of which she said I was going to
Mrticeautaralk of pleasure with the woman of the house on •
Sunday evening, and was carrying • oarpstrbag. It is, I
think, • very inconsistent and improbable story that I
should be carrying • carpet-leg at such • time. Here
standing, and looks,' into the grave, I moat solemnly
declare that st Me time those people swore I was at that
place I was in Scotland ; and the statements of the others
are equally false." As I read this Barrett mint solemnly
declares that he was in Scotland at the time when the
witness said he was in Pultesayetiort, and it may be per-
fectly true that he was really in Scotland during part of
the two months when he was alleged to be at Pahang
-
court. Bat be does not assert that he was in
Scotland at the time of the expiosios, and the
Lord Chief Justice, I imagine, understood his words
as I do, for be amid :—",There may be discrepancies in the
evidence, as there always are in some of the statements in
• ease of this kind, but the main points of the case have
been abundantly established, and I sin glad that in the
protestations you have made of your innocence, there has
been no attempt on your part to repeat that pert of
door defence whiA rested on the alleged fact of your
being in Glasgow mks the explosion took plats in

THE DIST'IIEBANCES IN AIit3TRIA.

The Vienna Presse writes es follows on the sub-
ject of the fatal riot which took place on Raster
Monday in Hungary :
We are far from desiring to exaggerate the importance
of the democrats of Pesth and Keakemet, or of their deeds.
They arewretchedbrawlers, without conscience, who, in any
other conntry, would be shut up in &madhouse. But unfor-
tunately in Hungary the people &re led by such persons,
sad as the influent* of the national party is
compromised sad weakened thereby, we are
.foreed to keep our eyes upon them. We
fear that the time of trial baa come for Desk and his
friends. Their duty is to restrain the demagogue
hydra by remaining within the strict limits
of legality aucl detaching the people from those
who are misleading them. If they do not mood In thh
agitation will gain ground in Hungary, the "left"
will rise to power, absolution will maimed, and
we know the result when absolution prevails in
see or the other section of the monarchy. In the midst
of this state of things there is a powerful party
in Hungary who want a distinct natiooal army.
If they should succeed in accomplishing this object
the edemas of the people would have it all their own
way. We do not pat knives in the hands of children and
the nom of the Hungarian people has shown snob inexpe-
rience that the greatest prudence is indispensable. This
is reason estop& for demonstrating the impossibility of
scan** with the Minimise demand for a national
Bangui= army.

The New Free Press of Vienna has an article
on the ferment that exists amongst the working
drama m Austria, and expressing regret at the
hostility they show against the influence of sapital.
