and lodging te her.
Mr. Poland supported the summonses on behalf of the
guardians of the Greenwich union, and Mr. Wright, in-
structed by Mr. Haynes, of Wandsworth, appeared for the
defendants.
The girl was now eronexamined, and stated that she
had suffered from boils and rashes, and while the de-
fendant. were living at Peckham she elopt in a bed with
their children and communicated the rash to them.
When at Battersea she slept on a mattress in the kitchen,
becalm she hail tails. Mrs. Taylor paid her a great deal
of attention when she found the state she was in, and one
day she told her to give up all work and sit quietly by the
fire. She sent for some medicine, a new laid egg, which
she gave her, and a calf's foot, and made some jelly for
her. She had been very delicate all through life.
She never com,dained of the way Mrs. Taylor treated her.

her back to school if she did not do her work properly,
when she erica and hewed of her not to do so, as she

that she had not enough to eat.
ou Icing re-examined, she said that when Mrs. Taylor
thre dined to send her back, she told her that the matron
would put her into a bucket of water. Mrs. Taylor used
to ley her down in *.lie parlour and pour water over her

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Fn. 20.

A circular has been issued by Dr. Giskra, the
Minister of the Interior, to the provincial governors
of Upper Austria and Styria.
The minister calls attention to the agitation
fomented by the clergy in the above-named dis-
tricts against the new constitution, and instructs
the governors to warn them against encouraging
intrigues. They aro desired to inform the bishops
that the government has no intention of inter-
fering with the clergy in the execution of their
spiritual ditties, but that it also demands that
they should not consider themselves as above the
laws. In case of non-compliance the government
will be compelled to bring the disturbers of the
public peace before the tribunals.

THE COLENSO CONTROVERSY.
(via Plymonth.)__

NATAL, JAN. 13.

Judgment has been declared in the suit of
Bishop Colonic. against Doan Green. The Supreme
Court has set aside the judgment of the Privy
Council, and declares that Natal was a crown colony
when tho plaintiffs patent was issued, that Dr. Colenso
is therefore trusteo of the buildings, and has eccle-
siastical jurisdiction. The judgment further ejects
Dean Green from the deanery, and prohibits him
from officiating in any of Dr. Colenso's churches.

The friends Of tho dean have since held a meet-
ing, at which it was resolved not to appeal against
the judgment, but to erect or biro temporary
churches, and that Dean Green should at once
proceed to England.

ivory, bides, feathers, wine, aloes, and sundries.
The mortality rate at Cape Town from fever still
continued very high. Exertions were being made
to suppress the disease. The harvest had proved •
bounteous one, though les favourable than was

COMPULSORY EDUCATION MEETING 121

LIVE.RPouL.

A numerous and influential meeting was held
in Liverpool yesterday, with reference to the question of
compulsory education. Mr. Joe/PH HUBDUCK p. raided,
and the meeting was attended by clergymen and ministers
of nearly all denominations, and by laymen of all shades of
politics. The chairman described rho operations which
had been conducted both in Liverpool and Man-
chester timing the last two or three years by earnest pro-
modem of education in ceder to fill the existing schools
by placing children there who were utterly neglected and
unwired for by their parent,. But after doing aU they
coul.l in this direction, they found that there was no
effectual remedy bat some method of compulsory
education. The chairman bitterly complained of the
nrathy of the middle classes with regard to this question.
The lint resolution, expressive of satisfaction that govern-
ment intended to introduce during the present oration a
measure for a more extended system of national education,
was moved by Mr. J. D. Denson, seconded by the Hee.
Verner White, and carried. The second resolution, " that
no scheme of national education would be adequate unless
it comprised an extension of the principle of compulsory
attendance at school," was moved by Mr. T. S. Battles,
stipendiary magistrate of Liverpool, seconded by the Rev.
Nevison Loraine, and supported by the Rev. Charles
Beard lCuisanani, Mr. Chas. Grayson, Rev. Father t.uy,
Rev. Dr. Home, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Chas. Holland.
The Rev. Father Guy said that though the supreme
catholic ecclesiastical authorities in Liverpool were not in
favour of the principles of compulsory education, the ex-
perience of the majority of the catholic clergymen with
regard to the lowest class of local education convinced them
that no other system would be sufficient to meat the ease.
The resolution was carried unanimously.—The ltev. 11. T.
Brown (Baptist), moved that copies of the resolutions be
forwarded so the borough members for presentation to the
government. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Carter
(gaol chaplain, prote•tant), supported by the Rev. Father
Nugent (Boman catholic chaplain to the Liverpool Gaol),
and unanimously adopted. A vote of thanks to the chair-
man closed the meeting. During the proceedings a letter
was read from the Rev. Rector Campbell, stating that
an experience of 57 years in the ministry had convinced
him that if the people of England were to be educated,
some kind of compulsion was necessary.

THE ASSASSINATION OF PRINCE
MICHAEL

BELGRADE, Joint 26, EVENING.
At to-day's proceedings of the investigation into
the murder of Prince Michael, the thirteen ac-
cused persons were brought up. The act of accu-
sation declares the existence of a conspiracy to
overthrow the government in favour of Peter
Rarageorgewica. Three of the prisoners—Marie,
Rogic, aid Tadio--acknowledged their guilt,
as did also the advocate Paul Radovano-
vic, who declared that he had wished
to prevent his three brothers from joining
the conspaacy,and when he found they were de-
termined to take part in it, he oould not as a
broth desert them. Another prisoner, Ifkovic,
demanJOd that the confessions of the others should
be considered null and void, as they had been ex-
torted from them by means of ill-treatment in pri-
son. The trial will be continued to-morrow, and
judgment is expected to be delivered on Monday,

SPORTING NOTES.

The most important racing event of the coming
week is the Grand Prize at the Alexandra-park meeting,
the race being a Sweepstakes of 25 soy each, with
5001. added. There are twenty-three subeeri'bers, including
some of the moat reputed homes in England, but the
prophets seem to be unanimous in anticipating
the victory for Knight of the Garter. .Bal's
Lift considers his most formidable competitor to
be Moslem, while "Augur," of the Sporlinf
Lift, and the Field incline to laneret, and "The Wizard'
of the Sportieuus to Friponnier. " Touchstone," of the
Era, assigns the second place to Orion.
Aratrazi, Rota AND Jona DAT.—Bill's WI says it is
still the theme of conversation and conjecture
in Turf circles whether the threatened action in
reference to the Admiral's statements with regard to the
late Derby will really come off. However, immediately
the Admiral arrived on Tuesday morning on Stockbridge
race muse a number of noblemen and gentlemen, ad-
miring his plucky statement, informed him that should
the said action go on they would, by his permission, de-
fray the whole of the expenses ; in fact, 36 of them said
they would stand I,OOW. each.

TILE EARL OF DERBY.

TILE Duke of SomEusirr aptly summed up Lord
DERBY' s character when he said last night that ho
has every qualification for the leadership of a great
party—except judgment. Although no longer
the political chief of the Tories, ho yet fails to dis-
play the impartiality which well befits Ids present
independent position. Nevertheless, his speech
against the Suspensory Bill was as vehement in
tone, and as likely to arouse bad feeling as the
violent speeches he made when, in the prune of his
fiery manhood, he earned the title of the RUPERT
of Debate. There was a time when the destinies
of Ireland were committed to his care. When
Earl GREY formed his first Administra-
tion Mr. STANLEY was appointed Secretary
for Ireland. Disaffection was then rife, and it
had, what Fenianism has never possessed, a great
agitator to sustain and direct it. Few members
of Parliament cared to cross swords in debate
with DANIEL O'CONNELL. Mr. STANLEY was
an exception, and he not only dauntlessly
faced the terrible champion of repeal; but also
achieved many a success in the contest of hard
words. Among those whose speeches on Re-
form excited general notioe and aroused the

NEW COLLEGE. LONDON.—Last evening the
eighteenth annual meeting of this institution for the edu-
cation of students for the congregational ministry was
held at the College, St. John's-wood, when there was an
unusually large attendance. The Rev. Dr. Raleigh pre-
sided, supported by Rev. Dr. Halley, principal ; Rev. J.
H. Godwin, Rev. T. Bunny, Mr. Remington Mills, M.P.,
Mr. C. E. Mudie. Mr. Charles Reed, &c. The usual busi-
ness of the annual meeting was transacted, including the
distribution of the certificates of honour obtained in the
examinations and the presentation of books from the Sel-
wyn Fund to the students leaving the college. Thu chairman
delivered an addrem to the students, and the meeting
generally was addressed by several ministers and gentle-
men. The report stated that the loss of subscriptions by
death had been greatly beyond the average, and it had
been but partly compensated by the new sad augmented
subscriptions within the year.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORRS.—The usual
meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held
yesterday,. at the office in Spring-gardens; Sir John
Thwaitea in the chair. The Chairman said he had re-
ceived the following letter from Mr. Hope, of the Ease:
Reclamation Society, in reference to the effects of sewage
manure applied to the land :—" 60, Threadneedle
June 26, 1868.—Sir,—Herewith I have the honour to street,
ioZ
you duplicate specimens of the samples of our crops, which
we are exhibiting at the show of the Essex Agricultural
Society this day. Some of the samples are quite unprece-
dented. The sample of wheat is grown on a piece of land
which bore the same crop last season. The oats, which
aerhaps the moat extraordinary ever seen, have been
produced by the unexhausted manure left on the
land by the application of 4,000 tons of sewage
per acre last year to • piece of land from
which we got last season 71 tons of gram per acre. This
is a conclusive refutationof those enemies who pretend
that sewage farming exhausts the land. I trust that these
samples will be interesting to the board, and remain, sir,
yours, very faithfully, W. HOPE. Sir John Thwaitea, &c."
Some specimens of wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, and
strawberries accompanied this letter, and were of extraor-
dinary size and quality. The chairman said the speci-
mens were before them, and the board would be enabled
to judge for themselves. The chairman drew the
attention of the board to what had taken place
in the House of Commons on 'Thursday evening
in reference to the improvement of Park-lane,
and justified the course the board had adopted.
After some further discussion, the subject was referred to
the Works and General Purposes Committee. Mr.
Savage moved that it be referred to the Works and
General Purposes Committee to make arrangements for a
view by the corporation of the City of Loudon and by
the vestries and district boards of the metropolis of the
works at the Abbey Mills pumping-station on days subse-
quent to the public opening of such works. The motion
was carried. After the transaction of some formal busi-
ness the board adjourned,

A LUGGAGE TRAIN OX FIRE.

Yesterday afternoon several waggons on the
3.40 luggage train from Salford to Bolton were discovered
to be on fire as they approached Dixon Fold station. The
train was stopped, when it was discovered that a large
quantity of bleacher's goods, occupying three waggons,
was on fire. The three waggons were detached and
shunted on the siding, and every effort made to extinguish
the flames. But the fire had got too great a hold on the
goods, and they were altogether destroyed, together with
two of the waggons.

The Bank Holidays and Bills of Exchange Bill
as amended by the Select Committee, has been printed,
and appears to embody the main provisions desired by the
mercantile community. It authorises the creation of
special bank holidays by royal proclamation, and provides
that bills due on such days or on days of fast and thanks-
giving shall be payable on the following day. It likewise
abolishes days of grace after the Ist of January,
1869, as regards all bills drawn after that date. Further,
with regard to notaries, it provides that a notarial certi-
ficate on • bill of its due presentment shall be evidence in
an action, unless notice of disputing the presentment shall
be given by the defendant; and that • notary giving a
false notarial certificate of due presentment shall be guilty
of a misdemeanour.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.JON. 26.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
0P13011.1111 V. BRITIAN (Pali Basun).
In summing up this curious ease, Sir J. Wilde said that
the burden of proof lay on the plaintiff ; so that if the
result of the evidence should be that the jury were unable
to make up their minds, she must fail. On the
other hand, if the criminal proceeding of which
they had heard should ever come to be tried,
the case would be reversed, and it would be for the prose-
cution to satisfy the jury that she bad falsely pretended to
be the wife of her master, the intestate.
After deliberating for about an hour,
They jury said they were not 'satisfied as to the fact of
the marriage.
The court therefore pronounced against the plaintiff and
condemned her in the costa.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Monteith and Thomas O'Brien, were charged
before Mr. Newton with attempting to pick pockets.
Philip Shrives, 82 C, said that about 6 o'clock the pre-
vious afternoon he saw the two prisoners following an
elderly gentleman down Regent-street, and after watch-
ing them some minutes saw O'Brien put his band into
the gentleman's pocket, but without withdrawing any-
thing. After going some distance O'Brien made a second
attempt but it was again unsuccessful. The prisoners then
crowed Regent-street and followed another elderly gen-
tleman, and O'Brien partly pulled his handkerchief
out of his pocket. They continued to follow the
gentleman and made several attempts to get the
handkerchief out, but the gentleman being informed that
his handkerchief was hanging out of his pocket put it back
and the prisoners then turned round to walk away, when
he took them into custody, and on searching them at the
station he found a silk handkerchief upon them with the
initials "E. W." upon it, which he said a boy in Short's-
gardens gave him.
O'Brien said that the handkerchief was given to him by
a boy.
Shrives said that Monteith gave an address at a lodg-
ing-house full of thieves.
Mr. Newton remanded the prisoners.

FATAL ACCIDENT To AN OXSIBUS
CDNDUCTOR.

Mr. Ilutuphreys, coroner, held an inquest last
evening at the Panther Tavern, Bethnal-grean, relative to
the death of Joseph Shepherd, aged 5d years, who lost his
life through a collision between two omnibuses.
The deceased was an omnibus conductor, and was on
the monkey board, in Shoroditch, talking to one of the
passengers, when an accident in front caused the driver
to pull up suddenly, another omnibus, following close be.
hind, had not time to stop, and the polo was driven with
force a•,ainst deceased's arm and side. He received dreadful
internal injuries, and he died on Wednesday last. No
blame seemed to attach to the drivers of either of the om-
nibuses. The jury returned a verdict that deceased died
from injuries received from an omnibus pole accidentally
striking him.

WESTMINSTER._

Susan Walsh, a smart, dapper-looking diminutive girl,
was brought before the magistrate, charged with assaulting
the military at Chelsea barrack.i.
Sergeant Bramwell, of the Scots Fuiilier Goanls, said
that on Bondi), night, on his return to Chelsea Barracks
after an absence with a comrade on leave, be was accosted
at the gate by the defendant, who used very indecent and
unbecoming language, which she followed up by throwing
• handful of gravel at him, as well as at the sentry on
duty. She bad before been insulting the sentry.
John Evans, private soldier, on sentry at the gate, said
defendant used bad language and three a handful of gravel
at him.

Mr. Arnold--Did you know her?
Sentry—No ; she was a stranger to me. I did not give
her any offence in any way.
Defendant said as she was passing the gate the sentry
said something very offensive to her, and as she was not
going to be insulted with impunity she threw a handful of
gravel at him. Some of it struck the sergeant, but she
had not intended it for him.
The sentry was recalled, and positively denied this. He
said it was not likely he should speak to a girl while on
sentry.
Mr. Arnold—This amounts to a serious annoyance.
Defendant is committed for seven days.
The Sergeant—The men on sentry are very much
annoyed by women, and can't get at them.
Mr. Arnold—You should speak to the police.

[STAMPED 14. ADDITIOSALJ

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

(MOW Ova BPDCIAL CONIMPOSDNIM)
1)PBLIN, MONDAY Ennui.
There is nothing in the rate at which the pre-
parations for the reception of the Prince and
Princess of Wales are going on to remind one of
the rashness and impulsiveness with which the
Irish people are generally credited. All is being
done most methodically, orderly, and deliberately;
and if very much bad to be accomplished, one
might be inclined to doubt whether the arrange-
ments would be completed in time. As it is, there
is little reason to apprehend that all that it is in-
tended to do will not have been accomplished
as soon as is necessary. With the exception
of the ements for the installation of the
Prince as a ht of Sr. Patrick on Saturday next,
the authorities are doing very little in the way of
elaborate preparation. The reception of their
royal highnesses will be altogether rather popular
than official ; and it will be from its popular cha-
racter, from the manifestation of interest and sym-
pathy on the part of the people of Ireland which
there is no doubt that it will evoke, that it must',
derive any aigni6cance that may attach to it. The
installation of his royal highness can be witnessed
by only a few persons ; in the civic festivitieil only-
about 1,000 ladies and gentlemen will take part ;
and even at the National Ball in the Exhibition
building there is no probability that the
number of guests will exceed—not much, in-
deed. that they will reach-5,000. It is by the
reception which will be given to the Prince and
Princess at Kingstown, and by the exreeeaions of
feeling with which they may be greeted on their
way from that port to the Coatis of Dublin, on the
racecourse at Punchestown, and during their pro-
grew; from the Castle to the Cathedral of St.
Patrick on Saturday, that the success or failure
of their visit must be tested. On these occasions
we shill have an opportunity of ascertaining the
feelings which are entertained towards the heir to
the throne and his consort, not by a select and
selected few, but by hundreds of thousands of then
and women of all classes,and from all, or almost all,
parts of Ireland—of hundreds of thousands of
the people of Ireland who, free from official
stimulus or official control, will, no doubt,
manifest in an unmistakeable fashion their real
feelings and sentiments. Ido not mean fora mo-
ment to underrate the value of the tribute which
will be paid to their royal highnesses, and through
them to the sovereign of these realms, and to the
institution of royalty itself, by the noblemen and
gentlemen, the stately matrons and the graceful
maids who may witness the ceremonial in St. Pa-
trick's, or shed lustre upon the gatherings at the
Mansion-house or the Exhibition building ; but I
cannot attach to it so much importance as will be-
long to the expression of national loyalty and affec-
tion which will, I have no doubt, be obtained
from the crowds in the streets and on
the racecourse. It is evident that there will during

THE AUSTRIAN ARMY BILL.

The Austrian government is about to reorganise thi

IMPORTANT SPEECH OF A M IN:STEP,

PARLI. ANZI I. I'•,
On the occasion of laying the foundation stun •
of a church at Rambouillet yesterday, M. llaroel
the Minister for Public Worship, made a spe,
in the course of which he announced that
a plan for the construction of parochial
roads would be laid before the Legislative Body at
its next sitting. M. Baroche observed that tle,
plan, which will occupy the finances of the st:,;..
and of the communes for a certain nundar
of years, is essentially a work of peace, and
never have been undertaken by a ',miter
government at a period when peace was not as,ur
or when war appeared imminent or even 1,r:,.
bable. M. Baroche concluded his speech as I
lows :—" The eagerness displayed by t:,,
Emperor to hasten the execution of
works is therefore an additional proof that
desires peace and has no reason to heliev,
in war. Yes, gentlemen, the Emperor desires peace.
an honourable peace worthy of a great !lac:. n
France, confiding in her own strength. is prci rr,.a
for all eventualities. By the development het
military organisation she does not seek mar•
and wo arc convinced that no ouc• en-
tertains any idea of declaring war apinct
her. The peace of Europe will not be disturb,4.
Do not believe, therefore, in those cries of ;dam.
the talk of war, which either error or malevolence
reproduce with a kind of periodicity, and der,,!,..
yourselves in safety to the labours of agriculrm•
and of industry."

ABYSSINIAN TELEGRAMS.

The Post reminds its readers that an unofficial telegram,
published on the 10th, stated that " Sir Robert Napier occu-
pied Lek on 21st March, and expected to arrive before
Magda' on the 2nd inst.," and that Theodore was at Mag.
dela. The information therefore contained in the official
telegram published yeatrrday did not porous the interest
which it otherwise would have had. Let is shown on
the maps as situated a little south of Ashangi, and
being, as we explained before, much the most im-
portant town or village in the district, Sir Robert Napier
would naturally push on for it, as a place of assembly and
point of depertare for the final advance on hlagdals ; and,
knowing that the force reached Aabangi en the 18th
March, the date of reaching tat, given by the unofficial
telegram, would appear to be such as would naturally
coincide with the probabilities of the case. It will be
observed that Sir Robert Napier's force, south of Antalo,
is 3,000, with 10 guns and two mortars; and, presuming
that he will consider it necessary to form one more depot,
say at Lat, we may reckon upon fully 3,000 men being
present at the capture of Magda', or at least at the sur-
render of the prisoners.
