banister appointed to revise the bets of voters for knights
of the shire for the county of Middlesex, held a court at
the Vestry-hall, Church-row, Bethnal-green, for the
purpose of revising the bets for the several parishes and
extra-parochial places in the Bethnal-green lling

trict The plates were, the bbmty of the OldArdl{enGround, and the parishes el MiMchurch,

Wasted by Mr. Dear) ; the conservatives by Mr. T. Alley
Jones, of 1, Clifford's-inn, Fleet-street, and his son, Mr. •
Alley Jones, of Chanosrplane.
The overseers in this distriet had discharged their dabs.
so well that little remained to be done in the court of re-
vision. The liberals had made 14 objections and sent in
8 claims ; the conservatives had made nne objections,
principally against claims sent in for property within the
new borough of Hackney.
The Court adjourned till this day (Thursday), when it
re-assembles at the Castle Inn, Brentford, for the revision
of the lists for the parishes in the Brantford polling dis-
trict. At 4 o'clock the barrister gives his decision with

OUTRAGE AT C IBBALTAIt. —A crime was com-
mitted this morning of a character which, owing to the
good conduct and discipline of the soldiers of this garri-
son, has happily been of exceedingly rare occurrence in
t;ibrsltar. -A. private of the 83rd Regiment, on the Main
uuard, is reported to have deliberately levelled his rifle at
and shot Police Sergeant Wall. The ball entered the lower
part of Sergeant Wall's right side, traversed the muscles
for about eight inches, and came out at the back, near the
spine ; it then passed through the left thigh of Mr. Pinela,
who was near the spot, inflicting & severe lacerated wound.
Sergeant Wall, finding himself wounded, and seeing pri-
vate Patrick Maith about to charge him with lowered
bayonet, took to flight, followed by his assailant, and after
passing through the coffee-room of the Wellington tavern,
took refuge in the RegintraAt at the corner of Market-
lane. The soldier was arrested at the Wellington by the
guard. Sergeant Wall is under treatment at the Civil
Hospital, and Mr. Pine's, after having his wound dressed
there, has been removed to his own residence. The wound&
of both are pronounced " severe."—Gibrahar Chronick,

THE POLICE COURT&

LAMBETE.
A stout, hale-looking old man, with an abundance of
white sowing locks, giving the name of CAarles Briny, ear
penter, with no home, and turned 70 years of age, wee
charged before Mr. Woolrych with "being found wander-
ing and destitute of any visible means of existenoe after
being refused admission into Lambeth workhouse when
I taken by the police to such workhouse."
The prisoner said he bad lived in the pariah for above
40 years, and entered the home in November last. On
Thursday he discharged himself upon application to the
board in order to go after some work, but having failed
in that be had applied for re-admission, and the police
refusing him • night ticket, he went twice to
the workhouse, and was referred to the relieving officer's
house. He went there at five o'clock or • little after, and
was told that Mr. Cope was not at home, and he should
not be able to see him until nine o'clock. He went to Mr.
[ Cone's at nine o'clock, and was told he was not at home,
and he (prisoner) Galled again in about fifteen minutes,
with the mum result.

Mr. Woolrych said that no doubt a very bad system
existed with regard to poor and aged people like the min
before him. He should discharge the prisoner, but re-
quested an offioer of the court to inform Mr. Cope, the
relieving officer, that be should require his attendance to
give an explanation of the affair.
The poor old man was then discharged, and, at a subse-
quent period of the day Mr. Cope, the relieving officer in
question, attended, and having heard the facts of the case,
said that upon the day in question he took a lunatic to
the asylum at Brookwood, and having missed the train
arrived home later than he expected.
Mr. Woolrych—But there ought to be some simple pro-
cess by which any person in the position of
the man who has been before Inc should be readily ad-
mitted, without being allowed to wander about the streets,
at his age, from 3 o'clock in the evening until near 2 in the
morning. He is a settled pauper, and could not be treated
by the police at the station as a casual. Some better and
more simple regulations should be in force for the admis-
sion of such oases, in the absence of the relieving officer,
who could not be expected to be at the house during the
whole 24 hours.

Mr. Cope said he thought the muter of the workhouse
should have power to take in any such cases when the
abesnee of the relieving officer was unavoidable.
Mr. Woohyoh said he should send a request to the
parish authorities as to the existing regulations upon the
subject, with a view of causing a more simple and imme-
diate system to be suggested for adoption.

FRANCE.
PARId, Yawn 20, Enema.
The trial of the newspapers Figaro and Situation
for articles disrespectful to the Legislative Body
was decided today. bf. Grenier, of the Figaro,
was sentenced to a fine of 1,000 francs, and M.
Richard, of the Situation, to two months' imprison-
ment and 5,000 francs fine. In to-day's sitting of
the Legislative Body, the government laid on the
table the demand for a grant of two millions of
francs for the succour of the starving population in
Algeria. M. Jules Simon opened the discussion
on his interpellation relative to the councils for the
settlement of disputes between masters and work-
men. After some debate. the Chamber passed to
the order of the day. The committee of the Le-
gislative Body has declared in favour of authorising
proceedings against M. de Kerveguen. The
Chamber has agreed with the conclusion of the
committee.

NEW SPANISH LOAN.
MADRID, MAscs 20.

Tfie Officio: Gazette says:—" With a view to im-
prove the financial position of the colonies, the
government has contracted with MM. Bischoffs-
beim and Ooldschmidt, of London and Paris, a
Ivan of 2,21)0,0001. sterling, guaranteed upon the re-
venues of the colonies. The government will pay
annually for the interest and sinking fund 13 per
cent. upon the amount received." The Congress
has appointed a commission to inquire into the

POREICS APFAIIIA.

Discussing the promentions of the French preu for pub-
lishing the official report& of the debates in the Chamber,
the Times observes, that if the government's report is ove-
ract it ought to show no dread or jealousy of any other
report which happened to be equally correct. To burn
every book either because it agrees with the Koran, and is
therefore superfluous, or because it disagrees with it, and
is therefore sacrilegious, is harsh Mahomodan doctrine.
The necessity of waiting for the official report before ven-
turing upon any reference to what is passing in parliament
condemns the press to a twenty-four hours' silence on
topics of urgent interest, and thus paralyzes its efficiency.
We might as well be made to wait for Hansard.
The Post says a very slight start would enable King
Theodore to place such a distance between the captives
he has with him sad the British army as would render
the return of the force with the prisoners by the end of
March a simple impossibility. But unless so mush is
effected not only will the object of the expedition not
have been pined, bat it will be exposed to the greeted
peril even in the matter of bare subsistence, and will have
to take up an entirely new position and task, involving
nothing lean than a permanent occupation of Abyssinia
ander the most unfavourable circumstance*. As we know
that at present mob an occupation is not intended, it is
probable that the eventuality has not been provided for.
The Tehgraph remind, the leaders of Penknives that
should they eater into the conspiracy in America, and do
anything there to help it, they would be as slimly respect-
sible for any deed of blood, if caught in the United King-
dom, as any Englishman would have been justly wonted
if caught in America, after joining in England Booth's
plot for the asesasinatka of President Lincoln.
Having drawn a harrowing picture of the state of the
Southern States of America, the Times adds that most of
the responsibility rests upon Gomm& The overthrow of
state organisations and the establishment of military go-
veramaata strangled private saterpfies and frightened
eipiteliste sway. The delay in the work of reconatrue-
tkon bee farther impoverished the planters, and, in homely
phrase, taken "the heart out of them." The pongees to
freedmen made under the sanotiou of the radical party
have waned all relation between employer and em-
Plafol.

SHOOTING A JUDGE IN THE SOUTH.

A despatch from Mobile, Alabama, dated the
28th ult., says :—" Great excitement has been created here
this morning by the assassination of Judge Richard
Busteed, formerly of New York, in this city, today.
Judge Busteed was shot in front of the Post-office, as
9 o'clock this morning, by District-Attorney Martin,
There had been some difficulty between the parties, grow.
log out of proceedings in Judge Bustard's Court, to
Mr.ldartin claims to have been grossly insulted by tie
judge. The feeling has been growing in intensity for
some days. This morning the parties met at the PGA-
office, and when in front of the building Martin at.
coated Judge Buateed and demanded an apology for tht
alleged insult. High words passed between the partici,
and blows were exchanged, when Martin drew his e.
volver and fired at the judge. The ball entered hit
body, but the character of the wound is not yet fully
known."
Another account says :—" District-Attorney L. V. B.
Martin met Judge Busteed, of the United States District
Court, this morning, and accosted him, saying, ' Jude
will you allow that indictment against me to take
courser is
Judge Busteed replied, ' Sir, the law must take
its course.' Martin then drew his revolver and fired upoc
the judge, who fell to the pavement, having received too
shots, are below the breastbone and the other in the right
leg. Judge Bustard's wounds are not considered mortal.
Martin bad been indicted by the United States grand jury
for revenue fraud and extortion. He is now in gaol."
The family of Judge Richard Busteed, who were at New
York, received a telegram on the 30th from Mobile, in-
forming them that the judge was on his death-bed, his
case having been pronounced hopeless by the three pltjd.
clans who were attending him. Mrs. "indeed and trro
children—a eon and daughter, aged respectively 13 and 21
years—and his brothers George and William H. Busteed,
took the earliest train for the South. About four months
ago, whilst on a visit North to his family, the judge was
urged to resign his position and resolved to do so, but was
delayed by a pressure of unfinished business.

TIM PRESS PRORICCTIONB 111 IRELAND.

•
The Daily News doubts whether the axioms of
constitutional policy which demand that the responsi-
bility of the press should on sufficient occasions be en-
forced by the penalties of the law, cover the action of the
government in the prosecution of the Irishman newspaper.
The original form of the charge suggests • suspicion that
in the eyes of the government a publication which is poli-
tically mischievous and hostile to the present holders of
power is, by these facts alone, guilty of seditious libel.
The magistrate expressed a decided opinion that a prose-
cution for the article on the Manchester prosecutions could
notbeencoessful. The remaining articles consist of extracts
from other newspapers, chiefly American, undoubtedly of
a seditious character. So undoubtedly, as the counsel on
both sides and the presiding magistrate admitted, are the
reports of meetings in America, the Fenian manifestoes
and letters, and many newspaper extracts which have
appeared in the Tisses, the Daily News, the Pall Mall
Gazette, Tinsley's Magazine, and the very organs of Dublin
toryism. As a matter of law a seditious article is sedi-
tious, whether it be original or copied. On this ground
the magistrate felt himself bound to send the case for
trial, as he would h►ve done had the government
taken out • summons against the Dublin Earning
Mail or the Dublin Express. The secret sen-
timents of the conductors does not make the sedition,
and • press prosecution ought not, the Daily News thinks,
to he undertaken except on grounds far broader, clearer,
and more distinctive than any which can be alleged in the
present ease. It may be said that to allow disaffection to
find expression in covert and indirect ways is to connive
at its evasion of the law ; but the law answers its purpose
when it drives disaffection into these restrained and subtle
and ambiguous manifestation'. The pretence of public
danger will not bear examination. The prosecution will
do more to create disaffection than the conduct of the pro-
secuted journal. By all means let Fenianism be struck
hard and home. But let us have no random blows, nor any
mere beating of the air. It is a mistake to waste the
forces of coercion and suppression.

TILE NEW FINANCE MINISTER.

WHENEVER a new Ministry comes into being
the immortal saying of BEAUMARCHAIS (through
the mouth of Figaro) on the singularities of
official promotion is unavoidably brought to remem-
brance. " A diplomatist was wanted ; 'twee a
" dancer bad the appointment." That was under
the old regime, however, when promotion was a
matter of privilege, and when a dancer's qualifi-
cations were more serviceable in State affairs
than perhaps they are in these days. In
another sense than that of Figaro's remark,
however, the choice of statesmen for par-
ticular offices, even in constitutional countries,
under parliamentary governments, and in the
present enlightened age, is apt to disappoint the
general expectation, and even to bewilder the public
mind. It is so easy for irresponsible Cabinet-
makers out of doors to put every probable, or pos-
sible, minister into precisely the place best fitted
to his capacities and his antecedents. A. is
nothing, if not a financier ; he goes of course to the
Exchequer. B. knows all about the colonies ; he
must go to the Colonial-office. C. has devoted
himself to the question of public instruction ;
evidently the Vice-presidency of the Council is his
proper berth. All this is true enough, so far
as it goes ; but the statesman who has to
form a Cabinet out of the beet men of three or
four sections of a comprehensive party, of the old
and the now blood, of Whigs, " Peelitest" Radi-
cals, repentant Adullamites; and who has to
satisfy rival claims and pretensions, and to take
into account the proper distribution of debating
and administrative powers, and--if we may be
pardoned the illustration—to make the team,
including, perhaps, a kicker and a bolter, work
well together with the old and steady roadsters at
the polo ; the statesman, we say, who has to bring
so many tastes and tempers into good safe working
order, Las other things to think of besides
the special aptitudes of this or that
colleague. One of the peculiarities of
human stature is that every man thinks ho tan do
something ~Ise better than what he does best.
but there is another consideration which may well
occur to any statesman who is charged with the
formation of a Cabinet, and that is the undesir-
ableoess of confining particular capacities to par-
ticular departments. A Cabinet, in a constitu-
tional and parliamentary country, is not a com-
mittee of chief clerks; it is a select body of
Privy Councillors, responsible for the policy
and administration of the State ; and while

TUE GERMAN WORKMEN'S CONGRESS.

A congress of German working men was open ql
on the Gt 6 at Nuremberg. Amongst the members
present were llersch and Eichhoff, of Berlin ;
Rebel and Liebknoeht, of Leipeic; Veniality, of
Heidelberg ; Sonneman, of Frankfort ; Hartung
and Oberwinter, of Vienna. Schulze-Delitselt and
Jacoby were prevented by busincee from attending.
M. Bebel was elected president. The first question
discussed was whether the German Austrian. and
other foreigner should have a consultative or
deliberative voice. It was decided that they
should have ft consultative voice only. In spite
of a strong protest from the Rtuttgard Associa-
tion, the Congress adopted the programme pro-
posed by the Leipeic committee, as follow.:
The fifth congren, of workmen thseembled at Nuremberg
adopts the programme of the International Working
Melee Ashutiation, and declares in harmony with that
asiociatiuu: 1. The emancipation of the working
mutt be whinnd by the working elassisi
themselves. The at utrgle for the emancipation of the
working classy* is nut a s►nµg:o for clam pnvilere ur
monotone:, hot for equality of rights and duties.
and fur the abolition of the privileges of
es ety clan. 2. The eetaiumical dependence of the
winking man on the man who has monopolised the instru-
ments of labour is the principle of slavery, whativer form
it may assume, of social misery, of intellectual inferiority,
and of political subjection. 3. The political movement is the
indispensable means of effecting the economical entren-
ch'. era nt of the working class. Tao weed
question is therefore inasparab'e from the politi-
cal question ; the solution of the first depends
n the eoluti.o of the second and is only pomible under
a nkrseeratic government. Considering, also, that

OUR PARIS LETTER.

PARIS, WRDNESDAY Eystano.

The Count and Countess Girgenti gave a grand
official dinner yesterday at the Spanish embassy
to the Corps Diplomatique and several of the Em-
peror's ministers. Among the company were the
Marquis de Moustier, M. Pinard, Lord Lyons,
Prince do Metternich, Marshal Cenrobert, Mgr.
Chigi, the Pope's Nuncio, the Duke of Alba and
his son, the Duke de Huoscar, tho Marquis de la
Torre, Count Fernandina, M. Mon, and M. Merry,
first secretary of embassy.
The extraordinary attention shown to the Count
and Countess Girgenti in various ways is much re-
marked, and thought to confirm the original
rumour that they have a political mission of int-
rortanco. Two officers of the staff, Colonel do
Gougal, of the Imperial Guard, and Viscount do
Fayet, have been ordered to attend the count in
his daily visits to the barracks and military estab-
lishments of Paris. A Haves telegram revival the
report of an approaching interview between the
Emperor and the Queen of Spain. It has Is'en
smartly said that if they make a treaty of alliance
it will be " inofensi►e."

THEATRICAL NOTES,

The friends of Madame Schneider make no secret
of the fact that she is to receive 801. a night during her
engagement at the St. James's Theatre, and we hare
therefore little hesitation in making it public. After allow-
ing for the discount that may be always taken off thea-
trical salaries, this leaves i very regal amount—far more
than any "grind duchess" of any German principality
e►er dreamed of in her wildest dreams. She will get as
mush in one night as her composer, M. Offenbach, de-
manded for one week's services ae musical director of the
theatre.

Thera is no truth in the report that "the eminent dra•
mails author," Mr. &Judeanlt, will be the lessee of the

COMPOUND R.OTNO.

The Daily Nees reviews the report of the select com-
mittee on the assessment and collection of rates, and
comes to the conclusion that if a bill, based upon that
report, were to be laid before parliament, it is doubtful
whether it would become law either in this or the next
parliament. But should such a measure receive lees's-
tive sanction, the mischief and the heartburning caused
by the ratepaying clause of the tory Reform Act would
neither be forgotten nor removed.

TIIE METROPOLITAN POLICE.

ONE thousand policemen, and one hundred and
twenty sergeants, inspectors, and superintendents
are to be added to the metropolitan force. The
figures quoted last night by Mr. TURDY in sup-
port of this increase bring the rapid growth of the
metropolis into strong relief, and explain to some
extent the frequent street robberies and outrages
of the last few years. When Sir Ttn—mer PRIM
called the police force into existence in 1830 the
population of London was a million and a half,
and a policeman was given to every twenty acres
of ground. The population has now increased to
throe millions and a half, and the town has so
spread that each constable has had latterly fifty-
seven acres instead of twenty to look after. The
regulations to follow upon the bill read a second
time last night include one day's rest in seven for
every constable, and an increase of 3001. a year to
the salaries of each of the two assistant police
commissioners ; the extra cost will be met by
an addition of three farthings to the police rate,
and an extra farthing to the proportion already
paid by the Treasury. Mr. Ava Tort complained
that the metropolitan ratepayers had not had suf-
ficient means of obtaining information on the
subject, and suggested that the bill should
be passed for a year only. Mr. Lewes and
Mr. Alderman Lusa concurred, and Mr. Lomas
and Mr. LaeorcirEHA maintained that the extra
charge should be met out of the consolidated
fund ; but Viscount ENFIELD and Sir Groaos
GREY both spoke warmly in support of the pro-
posals of the Government, which were affirmed by
the House with but 22 dissentients out of the 214
members voting.

Tice dogs of London are likely to have an un-
pleasant time of it for several weeks to come. By
some strange delusion, the official mind, ignoring
statistics, connects summer heat with hydro-
phobia, and to prevent an incursion of mad dogs
Sir ItTIITARD MAYwIS has issued the customary
order that all dogs straying unmuzzled should be
seized by the police. On Saturday we are in-
formed that 200 dogs, " curs of no degree,"
and therefore unsaleable, were despatched by
poison, and we suppose there will be
another slaughter of the innocents to-day.
There is no alternative for the poor animals ; they
must either live in muzzled misery, or be put out
of life altogether. To muzzle a dog spoils his
temper, as well it may. In hot weather espe-
cially, it is impossible to doubt that it causes
actual suffering. The Spectator, by the way, re-
commends, as a mitigation of the evil, that dog-
owners should buy wire-net muzzles, instead of
leathern straps, and observes that " they are just
" as cheap, much more efficient, and a hundred
" times more humane," since the dogs can both

breathe and drink freely through them. The sugges-
tion is one that deserves to be widely circulated.

ME report of the Irish Church Commission,
the publication of which has been mysteriously
delayed, is supposed to make ample provision for
the Church, and yet to leave 200,00 W. available
for other purposes. The report proposes, rumour
adds, to reduce the number of Irish bishops to
four.

TRADE AND NAVIGATION.

The accounts relating to the trade and naviga-
tion of the United Kingdom for the month, and
for the five months, ended on 31st May were
issued this morning. The import returns, how-
ever, are only brought up to the end of April,
in which month the total value amounted to
21,963,955/. This shows not only a large increase
upon the returns of the last four months, but an
increase of more than two millions upon tho im-
ports of the corresponding month of last year.
The value of British exports during the month
of May scarcely amounted to two-thinls
of the value of the imports in April. The total
value was 14,670,035/., which shows a slight in-
crease on the returns of the previous month, but a
fulling off amounting to 1,296,629/. on the returns
of the corresponding month of 1867.
