THE 1-, EXPRESS, TUESDAY E.

The people are awakened to the vital ink
an °read which is emphatically to de
policy and legislation of this kingdom for
come, and to make a great sad tree nal
arbiter and tho guardian of Its own
destinies.

TIIR IlibMßBlll MEMOS.

ALL differences being over the Liberals of Mid-
dlesex can perform a plain duty without chance of
confusion or mistake. To defeat Lord Chown
Haitwrow and to return Mr. Lasenomin and
Lord Ihrerstm at the head of the poll should be
the first care of the constituenaY; and say Insidi-
ous suggestions as to dividing votes between the
youthful nominee of the Carlton end either of his
opponents, should be restated ati a suggestion of
the enemy. Both the Liberal sendidates have been
sound in their political action; both pride them-
selves upon being supporters of Mr. GLAD/TONI ;
both will represent the beet interests of, Mid-
dleeex in the new Parliament. The electors
will doubtless feel it to boa duty to themselves to
defeat with even more than ordinary vigour the im-
pertinent attempt to make the country a political
nonentity. To send LordOioneeltutwrox to Par-
liament in company with either of the Liberal can-
didates would be to render the actions of the most
iter ortant of English counties null and void. That
Middlesex should have no control over, or
voice in our national expenditure, our foreign
policy, or our domestic polities would in-
deed bo farcical ; and those who seek to
make the Liberals of the county thus stultify
themselves must be taught a lemon they will not
readily forget. To all Middlesex electors we
would say then, let no cajolery blind you to
the truth that by voting for both Liberal candi-
you secure the only legitimate representation of
the majority in your county.

THE WEEKLY PRESS.

The Saturday Review admits that the SOCOII4I
week of the elections has been a cheering one for the cos-
eervatives. It is true they are very eerily cheered ; for
although they constitute the government of the country,
and although it is they who have appealed to the coasti-
tassel's, yet their meet strength wee so evidently imagi-
nary and **tall talk such childish nonsense, that the
world quite agrees with them when they glory is moms
because they do not fall everywhere. For a party in a
hopeless minority, with a government utterly condemned,
and a policy irretrievably discredited, it mat be owned
they have got on pretty well this week. They have
drawn the great prize, and have bad the dear delight of
thwarting the fondest whims of Mr. Gladstone.
It is true that than are liberal gains in the mantis. to
be est on the other aide, but nevertheless the het la in-
contestable that a great many musty coneilinsescies, not
of an exclusively agricultural character, but with that
mixture of the urban and renal elements which gives
county commtitaanden insFetenes, have pronemsed much
snore derisively than wee masted to farm d the pre-
sent government. When all is said, however, the con-
servative moms comes to very Millis but such as it is, it
may be honestly acknowledged to exist.
The iliwtekr reluctantly easelerlse that the new eoanty
franchise has added, if not to the regeder party-strength
of the tories, certainly to the Inertia of the country, and
its aversion to any great change; that the new suburban
occoogoadis are especially inert; and that an the reli-
gious question the bids have a right to conclude that
wherever eplisoopalianism is strongest, Catholic Ireland
ha. boot hops of ilia*. If, however, this election startles
the liberal' into a new attitude towards the counties, an
&Winded greeter liberality, Justice, and sympathy, this
year's defeat will yet be worth to them many victories.
In the opinion of the Lowe* Roving), some things have
occurred in this contest to raise doubts of the liberalism
of the poorer alarm in certain boroughs ; but till the
ballot has been given our contemporary declines to swept
the cynical conclusion of a few superfine liberals that the
workmen in different large establishments are not only
willing bat eager to vote as their employers tote. la the
counties it is quite certain that the 121. voters, iszsept is
the immediate vicinity of large town; are banal hand
and foot by the landlords, and can only be liberate. by
MCA voting. One of the strongest illusirsticess of this,

bad been curate from December, 1869. After the Sunday
evening services I need to go to the plaintiff's house and

day evening during April. 1866. By a reference to my
diary I find an entry there under date of Sunday, 23rd
April, that the plaintiff preached—ea ir at =nonage—

means that I was present at the supper.

THE DIARSEILLAIEE IN FRANCE.

On Thursday last the play of Ch.artes VI: was
performed in the theatre of Grenoble. When
the actors came to the famous strophes " Guerra
cur tyrans !" the entire pit joined in with the
artiste, and the passage was repeated. On leaving
the theatre the people sang the Marseillaise through
the streets. In Marseilles some 800 women em-
ployed in a cigar manufactory complained that the
tobacco given them was too dry. The complaints
not being attended to, they struck work and
paraded the city singing the MarsciUaise. They
were soon joined by men who took part
in the procession. The authorities did not inter-
fere and the feminine emeuk passed over
without any serious incident. The Journal
de Toulouse reports that on Sunday last the prin-
cipal points of the city were occupied by the mili-
tary up to 5 o'clock in the evening. A demon-
stration was expected. The Marbetticti.ye has been
sung in other parts of France also.

ABSCONDING OP wiz MANAGING CLEM OP

T9l WOLYRBBLYPTOP COUPTYCOURT.
Yesterday it became known that Mr. 8. D.
Foulke, who has held the office of managing clerk of the
Wolverhamptoa District County Court for the last 16
years, had absconded, and that his accounts were drake=
to the extent, it is believed, of about 1,0001. This
he is thought to have bad in his possession when be
Wolverhampton. A few days ago it seemed that young Mr.
Grasebrook, son of the treasurer of the court, found that
there were some defeats in certain of Mr. Fettlke's
entries in his ledgers, and he directed the stream
of his father to the circumstance. Upon this the tree-
SUM' at once inspected the books in Mr. Foulke', presence,
and ohaeied him with having syreraticelly made ivase -
rateenkius aa to the amount of fees paid into the wart. Mr.
Foulke could afford no satirierry =parries, sod when
the tressurer left he communicated what he had detested
to Mr. C. G. Brown, the Registrar, who is Yr. Feelke's
employer. The next morning Mr. Foulke did net ear
to the Ogee, and it was found that he bad net be
home all night. Subsequently the ire, cheek of whir be
had the charge, was forced open, and it was found empty
of all but nearly 51., which was left in silver sad capper
coin. Amongst Mr. Foulks'a duties were those of remis-
ing from the different clerks all the money that was from
time to time received for plaints. At the time at which
the falsified accounts were detected by the treasurer as
described, he had not banked any of this money for about
three months ; and it is the moor that had accumulated in
his bands during that time that he is posed to have
taken from the safe at thetimehe abeordi For the whole
amount Mr. Brown L responsible. Mr. Brown has the
guarantee of a guarantee society for 2001. only. At me

GOSSIP PROM THE OWL.

We understand that Mr. R. J. Harvey, 11. P. for
Thetford, is about to be raised to the dignity of a baronet.
A marri ige is arranged between Mr. William Forbes, of
Callender, and Edith, third daughter of the Rev. Lord
Charles and Lady Harriet Hervey ; and between
Miss Harvey, daughter of Mr. Harvey, M.P., for
Thetford, and Mr. Lacon, son of Sir Edmund Lawn,
Bart., We understand that the committee which,
under the chairmanship of Mr. Du Cane, M.P., was
appointed to inquire into the present management
of Greenwich Hospital, has presented its report to
the Board of Admiralty. The report is said to be adverse
to the idea of entirely closing the hospital, but to
reoommend a considerable reduction of the present
establishment, combined with a relaxation of the existing
terms with respect to admission of men discharged per-
manently invalided from the port hospitals. It will be
soon presented to parliament. —The report of the Irish
Railway Commissioners is on the eve of completion, and
will be in the bands of the government on Friday next. The
peers who constitute the Boolleslasticid Titles Act Com-
mittee of Great Britain and Ireland have placed the
conduct of their proceedings in the handsel Earl Stanhope,
and an inquiry will forthwith be commenced into the
operation of all existing laws on the subject. Dr. Lashing-
toe, Sir Robert Phillimore, and Mr. Hope-Scott will be
called as witnesses.—The bill to authorise the removal of
the Natural History Collection of the British Museum
from Bloomsbury to South Kensington, has been
approved by the trustees, and the scheme may
be said to be complete, with the exception of some
minor details of ►dministration which still require adjust-

meat.—Bills are in mutes of preparation to extend the
time by two months for registering voters in Ireland and
Scotland during the ensiling antumn.—Contrary to almost
invariable parliamentary precedent, Mr. John Abel Smith

ANOTHER UNBURIED CHILD.

An inquiry was held by Mr. Humphreys,
Coroner, last evening, at the Windsor Castle Tavern,
Victoria-park, relative to the death of a child whose body
was found in the roof of a house, No. 31, Pitt-street,
Hackney-road.
• A cabinet-maker, who became tenant of the house on
Wednesday, accidentally made the discovery, the body
having been tied in a bundle and deposited between the
ceiling and the roof of the house.
WMiam Powers, GO, Temple-street, Hackney-road, said
that be had lived at 31, Pitt-street, for two years and •
half. Be let lodgings, and a young lady_ came there who
was delivered of an illegitimate child. To his know
ledge that child was vet alive. After th►t
two young women took lodgings in the house.
They stated that they were machine girl., but
they became so irregular in their conduct that be had to
apply to the magistrate to get rid of them. They resisted
the process so tenaciously, however, that he rather than
continue the struggle left the house altogether • month
■ggo. They remained in it for a forte' ht after be left.
Their names were Annie Croxwell and Margaret Cole.
They were in the house twelve months.
Dr. G. Ralph, polioe-surgeon, deposed that the body of
the child was ooespletely dederalmed by the bast of
the roof from the action of the wen. It must have bees
at least 7 or 8 =ago dead. It was impoonlAs to tell
what was the cause of death. .

The Coroner laid that it was useless to carry the use
further as the cause of death could not be ►scert►ined.
The police could follow up the matter if other evidence
could be got.
The jury returned • verdict of " Found dead under the
roof of • cert►in house, there being no evidence as to the
cause of death."

house to colliery accidents, and to move an address for a
royal commission.
Mr. Labouchere intends to move, on the 28th, that, in
the opinion of this house, all sums required to defray the
expenses of the diplomatic service ought to be annually
voted by parliament, and that estimates of all such sums
ought to be submitted in a form that will admit of their
effectual supervision and control by this house.
Mr. Fawoett has given notice of the following motion
for the`2Bth :—" That in the opinion of this house
catholios, presbyterians, and other inhabitants of Ireland,
will not be placed in a position of equality, in reference to
university education, with members of the established
church, until all religious disabilities are removed from
the fellowships, scholarships, and other honours and
emoluments of Trinity College, Dublin. That this hone.,
in order to give more complete effect to the foregoing
resolution, is of opinion that an executive commission
should be appointed, whose duty it should be so to re-
arrange the existing revenues of Trinity College, Dublin,
that it may be enabled satisfactorily to fulfil the functions
of a national institution."

Mr. Pcroy Wyndham, after Easter, will move that in
the opinion of this hones, it would be advantageous and
convenient to substitute a systom of weekly in lieu of
daily payments to those non•commisaioned officers and
soldiers of the army whose previous conduct might
warrant the extension of this indulgence.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCES AT WIGAN.

A party of 400 or 500 of the men on strike, many
of whom were armed with bludgeons, assembled about 4
o'clock yesterday morning, in tLe neighbourhood of the
Lindsay Pit, Wigan, for the purpose of preventing the com•
mencement of work. Alarp force ef police had been sent to
the place, where they were joined by a party of the
Wigan Coal and Iron Company's men, and the two bodies
uniting began to clear the road. A road was soon made
to the pit for the non-unionists who desired to
work, though at one time a heavy shower of stones
upon the police made matters look rather serious.
On Monday night some scores of pules of glass were
broken in the houses of obnoxious workmen, and some
little personal injury done, while two bottles of powder
with fuses attached were thrown thmgh the windows
of other dwelling. No harm was done impad Gi
breaking of the windows, as the fuse, which to each owe
had been lighted, either burned out before it reached the
powder, or was extinguished by the throwing of the bottle.
The chief constable deemed it his duty yesterday to sum-
mon a meeting of magistr,tes. The exact nature of the
proceedings did not transpire ; but it was understood
that, in oonsequence of the inadequacy of the police force
to cope with the turn-outs, application had been made to
the military authorities in Manchester for a detachment of
troops to assist in the preservation of the pesos of the
town. A detachment of 120 men of the 57th Regiment
left Victori► Station, Manchester, for Wigan by the 7.10
train last evening.

FOREIGN NEWS.

(THIS DAY.)

SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE POPE.

The Patric says that alarming news of the
Pope's health reached Paris yesterday evening ;
it only " hopes " that subsequent intelligence may
calm the anxiety felt on the subject.
The Temps says :—" The alarming news which has
been circulating for two or three days respecting
the Pope's health has been confirmed by intelli-
gence which we have received directly from Rome,
and which we have every reason to rely on. The
Holy Father is suffering from an intestinal com-
plaint which has assumed a disquieting character."

fire attended with a serious lose of property happened in
the well-known establishment of Gatti Brothers, chocolate
manufacturers, 3 and 4, Little George-street, Minories.
The discovery was made by the policeman on duty, whoraised

tropolitan brigade quickly attended ; but the fire weld not
be extinguished until the premises, with the exception of

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(NOOK OUR OWN CORINSPONDICNT.)
PARIS, Scimm Evastsa.

The imperial Court decided yesterday, ravening
a judgment of the correctional tribunal, that the
law of July 22, 1867, abolishing imprisonment for
debt in civil cases, extends to damages for a quasi
misdemeanour. The case was this—A M. Bar-
nult was indicted for swindling by MM. Bourrel
and Dassy, and acquitted. The tribunal
at the same time awarded him fifty francs
damages as for a malicious prosecution, and
decreed that payment might be enforced, in owe
of ~eed, by the seizure of the bodies of his wrong-
tnl The Appeal Court overruled the
later part of the judgment on the ground that
the only exception to the abolition of imprison-
ment for debt apply to fines inflicted for crimes,
isdemeanours, or contraventions, and that damages
for a quasi misdemeanour do not come within either
of those definitions.

Apropos of the marriage of the Duke de Saito
with the Duke de Morny's widow, several tittles
prematurely announoed, and even now only known
certainly as an event that " was to have
taken place yesterday," the Gazette des Meow

France has now • duchess the lees, and
Spain a duchess the more." On Tuesday
last the dowager-duchess, accompanied by the
duke, her intended, took leave of the Emperor
and Empress. The place fixed upon for the cele-
bration of the marriage was the little town of
Vittoria, the capital of the province of
that name in the north of Spain. Queen

JAPAN.

Details respecting the civil war are still meagre.
The latest information is to tho 9th Feb. The
Japan Gazelle of that date says :—" Yesterday an
ambassador from the Mikado was received in state
by the ministers. After an audience of some two
hours, an order was issued to recall the troops.
Accordingly the bugle sounded the recall, and the
whole picket line were soon on board their respec-
tive ships. Later in the day a company of
Choshiu 's troop. marched through the main
street to fife and drum in the most orderly manner.
The ambassador was escorted from the embassy to
the Hatoba by a company of soldiers, and went
on board the Cockchafer, which took him to old
Hiogo, where they loft him, and returned to the
anchorage. Thus you will perceive that war is
over and peace restored. We hope that business will
now commence, and be prosecuted without further
hindrance. The steamer Kanga no Kami arrived
here two days since, with 350 Tycoon's troops on
board ; the day before she arrived she took fire, but
it wassoon put out. She is being repaired, and will
take the troops to Yedo, they not being allowed to
land here. I will close by saying that at is now the
intention of the ministers to visit the Mikado very
soon at Kioto. A postscript says :—' The arrange-
ments are that Satsuma, Choshiu and Toza take
over the government with all the Tycoon's
treaties and responsibilities, under the Mikado
direct. Satsuma's troops already garrison Kobel,
well-dressed, well-drilled, well armed. The
custom-house is reopened. Mikado's officers will
probably govern all open ports. Bizen to pay for
all damage through the late conflict. Steamers

named Bishop. Her son gave Bishop in charge for striking
bin, or striking at him three times. Bishop struck him a
fearful blow in the eye. When Bishop was going to the
station-house he walked on the poliuman's right hand
and the deceased on the officer, a left. Bishop swung
his band round in front of the policeman and witness saw
that he held a knife. He stuck the knife into her sou's
stomach, at the right side, and pulled it out again. Deceased

stabbed!" Her husband, who was present, nixed him up
against a wall, and she opened his clothes, and found the
blood running down. He was taken to the station, and

o'clock on Thursday night last he heard a disturbance as
he was coming towards the Park-road, Forest•hill. Upon
going to the spot he saw Richard Bishop quarrelling with
several others. He dispersed the crowd, and thenhe saw Cart-
wright, who said, " Where is the man that assaulted me ?"
Bishop, the moment he heard artwright's voice, struck
him a blow in the eye. Cartwright gave him into custody
for the blow. On the way to the station Bishop asked Car-
twright "If he meant to lock him up." Cartwright replied that
he did. Bishop instantly passed hie hand suddenly across
in front of witness, who did not see what was done, but
who seised his wrists Cartwright cried out that he was
stabbed. Witness found a spring-backed knife in Bishop's
hand, and he took it from him. Bishop said, " The
won't get over that." Witness took Bishop to the station
and charged him with murder.
