OUR EASTERN POLICY.

Mr. FERE:AND gave notice that on Monday next, on
the motion for going into committee of supply, he would
move that, in the opinion of the house, our eastern policy
was objectionable, and that the agriculturists of the

licy, which had for its objeot merely the extension of com-
mercial objects in which they were not interested.

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 20, 1864.

A question of very great interest and im-
portanco was opened to discussion on Itivinesday-
e„,r,lng by the motion of Mr. BERNARD. The relief
of the poor has always been a difficult subject.

Taut it is the duty of the State
to support its poorer
I)l.r:doers, to suc2our the infirm, to provide for the
aged, and to supply the wants at
the utterly desti-
tute, has been unhesitatingly admitted on all sides;
bat the manner of doing so has been less univer-
sally apparent. As it is, many and grievous defi-
ciencies are daily felt in our existing social arrange-
ment, and the public are beginning to leek round
them for a remedy. Town and country alike have
their grievances—in the one the unjust and oppres-
sive inequality of rates is especially felt, while in
the other the effects of the law of settlement are
constantly eTr,r.plained of. Mr. BERNARD'S moticn
more particularly referred to the agricultural dis-
tr:c..s. lie asked leave to introduce a bill provid-
inr for th.c. more equitable distributian of the charge
on landed property for the relief of the sick and
destitute, r, ad although err:h a measure might cer-
tainly deal with a very comprehensive range of
topic 3,
isprincip!e object was to secure the substi-
tution of a union for a county rate. After some
discussion, in which the President of the Poor Law
Board took a prominent part, promising his sup-
port to the measure, the bill was withdrawn, Mr.
BEr:NARD Oxnressing himself satisfied that it would
he better to leave it in abeyance until another ses-
sion. So far, then, the matter remains where
it was. But two questions press upon our notice.
The firbt is, whether the really destitute
from whatever cause are properly cared for, and the
second, whether the burden of supportrug then' is

A WATER-SIDE ROBBERY.—Robert Dundrow, an am-
phibious thief, who has been convicted of robberies on land
and on the river, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Partridge, charged with stealing lead from premises,
275, High-street, Wapping.
Thomas Brews, police constable, 246 K, said that he was
passing by some empty houses near the Newcastle Steam
Wharf, High-street, Wapping, and upon looking through
the keyhole of one of them ho saw the prisoners and another
man inside. He obtained admission to the back of the
house from the river. The prisoner and his companion
were on the top of the house removing the sheet lead.
Directly they saw him they both came down, and fled in
opposite directions, The prisoner got through a hole in a
wall into the building adjoining, and then jumped from the
back of the premises on to the mud of the river, 20 feet
below him. Witness made a leap after him and seized the
prisoner as he was wading through the mud. The prisoner
threw him down and they roiled over each other and were
plastered Eta over with the river mud and half suffocated.
He would not release his hold of the prisoner, and brought
him out of the mud on to the shore. It was neatly low
water at the time they had tho mud bath. He found 121bs
of lead in the lower part of the house. It had been removed
from the roof. Tho proprietor of the house was a Mr.
Frederick Swan, but he could not obtain the assistance of
anyone to prosecute.
The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Partridge sen-
tenced him as a rogue and vagabond to two months' im-
prisonment and hard labour to the House of Correction.

The Wife Mnrder at Birmingham,

The inquest on the body of the woman Sarah Ann
Hall, who was shot by her husband on Tuesday
night last, was held at the Green Man Tavern,
Dartmouth-street, Birmingham, yesterday afternoon
before Dr. B. Davis, borough coroner. The mur-
derer, George Hall, was present in custody, and
appeared to be very much affected by the dreadful
position in which he stands. The evidence
given fully bore out the brief statement of
the facts of the case which were given in our co..
lumns yesterday, and it was shown that while they
lived together deceased and her husband Were con-
stantly quarrelling, and that after she had left him

The first was the mother of deceased, who spoke
about the position in which she stood towards her
husband, and of her going out With him
on the night
when she was shot. Police constable Golden said
that about midnight on Tuesday he was in Dart-
mouth-street, when he heard the report of a pistol,
and on going to the spot from where it proceeded,
he found deceased lying on the ground wounded.
Mr. Lingard, the landlord of the Wellington
Tavern, said that about half-past 12 o'clock on the
night in question the prisoner, George Hall, came
to his house, and, producing two pistols from his
breast, said he had murdered his wife. Police-eon-
stable Bromage said that at about one o'clock a man
came to him with the pistols, and said that Hall had
shot his wife with one of them. On this witness
went to the house of Hall's father in Farm-street,
Where he found the prisoner. On charging him
with the murder, he said, " Yes ; 1 did it," and
before he was handcuffed he shook hands with his
father, mad brother, and sister, and said he hoped to
meet them in heaven. Mr. Baker, surgeon, said
that deceased had died from injuries caused by
pistol shot wound, and said that the ball, after
passing through the left cheek, bad taken a back;

A REMARKABLE COMPARISON BETWEEN oCIIIL-
LER AND 00ETIIE has bean made by a poetical
Gorman, taking "Egmont" of ono pout and "Wallonstein" of
the other as typos of the characters of their authors. The
critic justifies his discovery of the similarity between the
poets and their heroes by referring to Gootho'a quotation of
the passago about the "cur of our destiny" from" Egmont,"
and to a statement of Schiller's, that in Cho drama of " Wal-
lonstein" ho had " exprossed his own manner of being."
One part of the comparison which deserves praise for its
critical acuteness is the contrast of the background of the
two pieces—tho revolt of the Netherlands furnishing the
backund to " Egmont," and the Thirty Years' War to
backs
" Wallenstein." Egmont's love of life, says the critic, is
only to ho explained by tho state of things around him ;
Wallenstcin is only psychologically possible iu the anarchy
of the Thirty Years War. And in the same way, Egmont
would he nothing without the people of the Netherlands;
Wallenstein nothing without his army. A littlo extra
German minuteness is perhaps required to discover a typi-
cal intention throughout Lager," a constant reference
to the coming characters of the piece,,
so that the " Lager"
is really an overture to the " Piecolomini" and Wallen-
stein's " Ted." Thew critic finds that the cuirassier in the
" Lager" is a typo of Max, the caraLinoer a typo of Tersky,
the Croat of Isoloni, the dragoon of Bottler, while the ser-
pant is a parody of Wallenstein himself, and tLo Capuchin
Inca cf Quectenberg.

INDIAN OFFICERS.

Colonel SYKES gave notice that ho would move that,
except in cases of emergency, the appointment of Indian
officers instead of English officers was a violation of the act
of Parliament.

CAPTURE OF THE MARTABAN.
Mr. G. S. LEFEVRE asked the Under Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs whether it was true that a British
ship. the Martaban, had been captured by the Alabama,
and burnt by order of its captain ; and, if so, what steps
the Government are taking to obtain reparation, and to
prevent the repetition of such outrages
Mr. LAYARD said that no information had been re-
ceived on the subject by Government, and they knew
nothing of the matter except through the newspapers.

Police-constable Thomas Howe, 148 B, said that at 12

sively that you took her I What was she doing ?
Fellowman—She was cursing every gentleman that
passed her.
Mr. Selfe—Was there any reason for it that you could
discover ?
Policeman—None that I could find, excepting that the
defendant was drunk and did not know exactly what she
was about.
Mr. Selfe (to defendant)—What do you say to being
drunk and cursing gentlemen?
Defendant—Me curtseying to gentlemen I What should
I curtsey to gentlemen for ? No gentleman had done me
any good.

THE YELVERTON CASE.

The Hon. Theresa Yelverton presented a petition
to the House of Lords on Wednesday last, through
her agent, praying their lordships to order the ap-
pellant, Major the Hon. W. Yelverton, to pay to
the petitioner the sum of £5OO, or such sum as to
their lordships shall seem meet, either in nature of
alimony or for the purpose of enabling the petitioner i
to complete her case; and, further, that the hearing
of the cause may be postponed for three months, or
until such time as the said £5OO is paid to the p-ti-
tioner. The petitioner states that in January, 1860,
she raised an action of declaration of marriage before
the court in Scotland, and on the 19th December,
1862, the judges declared the marriage to be lawful,
and ordered Major Yelverton to pay the costs of the
proceedings, but he had never paid any such costs.
In 1860 an action was brought in the Court of Com-
mon Pleas in Ireland, against Major Yelverton, by
Messrs. Grant and Gash, merchants, London, for
£29 9s for necessaries supplied to the Hon. Mrs.
Yelverton, and judgment was given in their favour,
with costs, on the 5:11 July, 1860. The petitioner
goes on to state that in January, 1861, another
action was brought in Dublin against Major Yel-
verton, by Mr. Thelwall, an kora master, in York-
shire, for £259 17s 3d, for board and lodgings sup-
plied to Mrs. Yelverton, at the request of Major
Yelverton, and that the cause was tried before the
Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, in March,
1861, when, after a trial of many days, the jury
returned a verdict in favour of Mr. Thelwall for the
amount claimed. In this csse a rule nisi for a new
trial was granted, and, after having been argued
before the full court, the rule was discharged on the
7th July, 1862, with costs; but Major Yelverton
has not paid any part of the debt or costs in which
he has been condemned. And the petitioner further
states that her husband never contributed anything
towards her support, but that he is living in con-
cealment, and his solicitors and agents refuse to
give any information as to his place of abode. The
petitioner then goes on to state that in consequence
of the enormous law expenses she incurred in defend-
ing herself and maintaining her rights as his wife,
her private means are nearly exhausted, and that
she is now dependent for maintenance on the assis-
tance of her friends. The privations and hardships
to which the petitioner has been exposed through
the cruelty of her husband, and the mental anxiety
which she has suffered during the last five years
and a half, have produced a total prostration of
strength. She was taken ill in the south of France,
when on her way to England, and her medical
advisers are of opinion that it would be dangerons
to her life if she was to be removed at present,
Their lordships considered the petition, and have
ordered the question with reference to the same to
be referred to the next appeal committee.

THE BRITISH INSTITUTION,

The Exhibition for the present season at the
British Institution is, we regret to say, very corei-
derably below the average. As usual, numerous
works are displayed upon the four walls :of
the noble suite of three apartments constituting the
gallery. Minor drawings, both in size and merit,
are hung upon the screens. There is the customary
diversity of landscape, animal life, histories.
scenes, genre pictures, fruit, flowers, winter, spring,
summer, and autumn views, sea-pieces, and so forth;
but among them all, while there are very few really
good paintings, there are a great many ur question-
ably bad, while the vast majority are beyond all
question most indiffaent. A single gem e.ione
attracts the eye, scanning, no matter whether care
fully or cursorily, the contents of this arl-caskct--
that solitary chef d oeuvre being 68, " Well-bred
Sitters that never say they are Bored' "—the
said sitters being a tan collie and a Week re-
triever, painted as dogs can alone be painted by
Sir Edwin Lludseer. The retriever holds cross-
wise in his mouth one of the at tist'ii cam. 1-hair
brushes. A pheasant and so,i.e pigeons—as speci-
mens of dead game—aro littered in the front
part of the picture. There ere, besides this, other
more usual appurtenances of a studio—odds and
ends introduced, it would seem, almost hap-hazard.
Every detail teuched with the easy, careless, mar-
vellous touch of the great master. The expression
of the doge' countenances being the central interest
of this new masterpiece of Lendseer's.

STATE OF TRADE,

MANCHESTER, Feb. 19.—We have had a very
quiet market for yarns in all departments, both
home and export, and, generally. speaking, prices
are easier as compared with Tuesday. In the home
trade there is some business doing, but most of the
sales have been small parcels. In cloth sellers re-
port a limited bueiness. There has been a rather
cave inquiry, but it has not resulted in much
actual business. As stated in our recent reports,
the greater activity on Tuesday and previously was
owing more to accumulated orders than any new
demand, and most of these having tow been placed
buyers do not feel inclined to operate further. No
doubt the recent arrivals of cotton and the further
expected arrivals are haul:icing buyers to some
extent in holding back. At the same time manu-
facturers are rather cheerful, believing that the
great reduction Which has taken place in the pro•
duce of the mills will influence prices favourably,
whatever may be the tff.ct on the markets of im-
ports of cettn. Whenever people wish to purchase
for immediate delivery they find a difficulty in
meeting with stocks of goods, and certainly this
seems to bear out the opinion entertained by manu-
facturers, who ere, generally speaking, exceedingly
firm about prices. Seine orders have been given
out running into April and May, the contractors for
which have taken rather lower prices, but for early
delivery most kinds of cloth keep firm, with a ten-
dency to higher rates.
NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—There was a limited at-
tendance at the Exchange-hall to-day. 'For lace
yarns the demand was still quiet, but prices re-
mained firm. In hosiery yarns little or no altera-
tion took place. SiikF, both spun and thrown,
maintain their prices. Brown nets met a slow sale.
The makers are less actively engeged, but there is
no change in prices to quote.
