LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 1864.
Thanks entirely to ber MAJESTY'S Government
War is beginning to look inevitable. we say
thanks entirely to the Government—not to Eirl
RLTS3ELL'S policy, but to the foreign policy of the
entire Government. For, it is simply absurd to lay
the whole onus and responsibility upon the
shoulders of the Foreign Secretary. His be the
brunt, if you will, richly deserving it, as, from his
official position, he unquestionably and quite neces-
sarily does. But a relative proportion of the blame
and responsibility devolves upon each of his
MinisteriAl colleagues in the Cabinet. Their's is
the responsibility of complicity and connivance.
But, especially does a huge share of that solemn
and heavy responsibility appertain by still
greater right and by still more urgent necessity
upon the First Minister of the Crown•in his mere
capacity as such, se head of the Government. It is
London, England, 1864-06-16

gun fired at the same elevation, and with the some
charge, threw its shot to the right or the left,
longer or shorter, in a slight but still easily recog-
nisable degree. The difference between the shots
which fell shortest and those which went furthest
forms the length of the parallelogram, and the
extreme difference between those which made the
widest deviation from the true line of fire deter-
mines its breadth. All these parallelograms have
been carefully reduced and drawn to scale side by
side, so that the merits of each performance can be
seen and ascertained by measurement. There
have been 34 stages of the competition in all—
namely, 12 with solid shot, 11 with segment
shell, and 11 with common shell, and out of
these trials, judging by the tracings, Sir William
has won 14 times, has been second 11 times, and
been third nine times. Mr. Whitworth's gun has
won 13 times, has been second 10 times, and has
been third 11 times. The breech-loader has been
first seven times, has been second 13 times, and has
been third 14 times. So far we have used the terms
"firs, second, and third," as being the most conve•
nient, but they really convey no proper idea of the
relative sizes of the competing parallelograms, and
we expect that the hardest task the committee has
got will be to determine the figure of merit which
shall properly assign the degrees in which each
gun has been beaten at the different ranges, Thns
in firing solid shot, which is its proper missile, Mr.
Whitworth has sometimes won by making a paral-
lelogram only about one-tenth the size of either of
Sir William's; and, therefore, to call Mr. Whit
worth's first, and Sir William's second and third in
such a case, would not be at all fairly to represent
the amount by which Mr. Whitworth had been vie-
, torious. On the other hand, in firing shell, which is
the only missile now used in field service, and the
only one which Sir William's guns were made to
fire, both his weapons have won by making paralle-
lograms almost 50 times less than Mr. Whitworth's;
and here, therefore, to call the Armstrongs first and
second, and the Whitworth third, would be most
unfair, looking to the manner in which in these
competitions Sir William's has beaten Mr. Whit-
worth's gun. Again, if by another method we add
up the areas made by the parallelograms of each
gun, the result is almost equally unsatisfactory. In
this case the areas of the parallelograms of ee.eh
gun with solid shot and segment and COMMOD, shell
would stand as follows :

Wales's feathers being placed in front of the gallery facing
the platform, and a costly chair adorned with the initials

royal visitor. Long before the commencement of the day's
business all the seats were occupied by a distinguished
assemblage, among whom were the Archbishops of York
and Armagh, the Bishops of London, Oxford, Lichfield,
Llandaff, and Down, Lord Ellenborough, Lyttelton, and
Truro, and Chief Baron Pollock.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The Earl of CAITHNESS made a few observations on
the necessity of making it imperative that the iron and
workmanship of every cable should be examined previous
to its being sent from the manufactory. He also thought
some limit should be put upon the strain :to which each
cable was to be subjected, otherwise many a very good
article might be destroyed owing to the proof being very
much more than was required.

tions in answer to the noble lord, after which the bill passed
through committee, and was reported without amendment•

JOSEPH WORMALD AND GEORGE ILES (HICKS'S BIG
ONE), FOR £so.—The catch-weight match between these
members of the P.R. took place yesterday on the Home
Circuit, and was brought to a satisfactory issue. Wormald
is known to the patrons of the art from his match with
Jem Mace's Black; and from the manner in which he ac-
quitted himself upon that occasion he was looked upon as a
promising candidate for fistic honours. He is 23 years of
age, stands sft 11/in, and weighed when he last scaled 12/st.
He is a fine-made, powerful young fellow, but for the pre-
sent encounter was in no sort of condition ; indeed, on Fri-
day last he was considered so decidedly unfit to stand the
wear and tear of a contest, that his friends entertained seri.
one doubts whether they ought not to forfeit the money
without letting the affair come to trial, Iles, who has
gained the sobriquet of " Hick's Big One," has never fought
before within the ropes ; but this new importation from the
provinces was considered well qualified to gain " milling "
distinction. He is a native of Bristol, stands Gft 11in,
and weighed, as he stated, 131 stone; so that, to make
use of the words so often used by the late much-respected
Tom Spring, " If good enough, he was big enough for
anything." The betting was even, and when the com-
batants had been got in readiness by their seconds they
were conducted to the scratch, and at 20 minutes past five
o'clock, were left to begin the contest, On getting toge-
ther the men displayed caution, and owing to the reluctance
manifested on both sides to make the first " plunge," the
opening bout occupied 20 minutes. Wornsald, in the
second round, obtained the that of the leading events by a
neat left-hander ; and it soon became apparent that he was
much more expert in the use of his digits than hie antago-
nist, who displayed little or no knowledge of the art, and
when he made some of his left-handed lunging hits did so
in a very inartistic fashion. Iles ought from the commence-
ment to have forced the fighting, but this he did not do,
much to the dissatisfaction of his seconds, until the battle
was far advanced. Two rounds were fought in 35 minutes,
three in 45 minutes, six in 56 minutes, and nine rounds
were gone through in one hour and ene minute, a proof that
the milling thus far had been slow work ; indeed, from the
reluctance which the combatants showed to get to range)
many were of opinion that the battle would terminate in a
" draw." From the 17th round, however, the men having
" roused up," the milling became of a lively description ;
and in the 24th and last bout, Wormald, with a straight
left-hander, followed up with one from the right, gave his
opponent his quietus, and was hailed the winner. the con-
test having lasted two hours and eight minutes.

in some instances the quotations had a downward tendency.
Lambs were in good request at fully previous rates, viz.,
from 65 to 7s per 81bs. Calves were in good supply and
sluggish request on former terms. Pigs and ranch cows
were dull, but not cheaper.

The verses written in "Commemoration of the Founder"
by the High Master were distributed about the room in
La'in and English, but were recited is English only. The
practice of reciting the prize composition is now abandoned,
and spectators are content to witness the reward of merit
without ascertaining its extent. Thus the elocutionary
talent of the young gentlemen was only displayed in the
series of dramatic scenes, Greek, English, and French,
placed under the head speeches.' These were all acted
with great spirit, the tragic scenes being, however, less en-
titled to commendation than the others.

When the last laugh excited by the pleasantries of 31.
Jourdain and the Maitre de Philosophic had subsided, the
scholars were informed that at the gracious request of the
Prince of Wales their holidays would be elongated to the
extent of a week, which was increased to a fortnight by the
seven bishops, who each solicited a day. As the guests re-
tired " Three cheers for the Prince" and " Three cheers for
the Bishops" caused the venerable building to resound,
It is understood that the old Pauline dinner will be re.,
vived this year on the 2d of July.

following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-

most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, an 4 adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad_
just these teeth to many changes of the moath without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so Liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-

servant, and had stolen therefrom three £5 notes in halves,
a gold chain, with locket set with rubies, pearls, and
emeralds, a gold repeater, and twozets of studs, one garnets
and the other chased. gold. The man is a native of Wilt-
shire, about 20 years of age, of light complexion, and fiat •
footed. He was employed as a bricklayer during the build-
ing of the International Exhibition, 1862, and then met
with some accident which has made him left-handed. It is
supposed that he intends getting to America to enlist in the
Federal army.

CHANNEL MATCH FROM GRAVESEND TO

RYDE.

We are gratified in being able to announce that the
regattas of the Thames will be concluded on Saturday next
by a splendid match to the Isle of Wight. The following
are the conditions of a match emanating from the yachts-
men of the Union Yacht Clubhouse, Gravesend, and which
promises to produce an entry of at least 20 starters, viz.:—
Sweepstakes of five sous each for schooners, yawls, and
cutters ; a time race ; double Ackers' scale ; to start at
10 a.m. on Saturday next, June 18, off the Union Yacht
Club-house, Gravesend, according to directions hereafter to
be stated. Entries to close at midnight with the secretary,
Royal Thames Yacht Club, Albemarle-street, on Friday,
17th June, or with Mr Bedford, at the Union Yacht Club-
house, Gravesend. Several vessels have already been en-
tered, including the schooners Galatea, Madcap, and the
cutters Marina, Amazon, &c. Doubtless many more will
join this day and to-morrow. We understand the manage-
ment of the match will be left to the noble vice-commodore,
Lord De Ros. It was at first proposed to make this race on
Monday; but as owners are anxious to get to the westward,
Waterloo day has been preferred as well worthy of this
spirited movement,

principle.

Mr. HADFIELD was of opinion that the law as it stood
at the present moment was well calculated to perpetuate a
race of thieves. If you took away a convicted man's home
what was 1: eto do when he came out of prison ? No one
would employ him, his home was gone, and what couid he
do but go thieving again. The felon's children were rendered

homeless by their father's crime, and they were actually

driven to adopt a dishonest course of life.
Mr ROEBUCK was of opinion the rich were not kepi
from committing felony by the fear of losing their property.

Loss of property therefore was no protection, and all they

did in thnt direction was to inflict pain without securing any
corresponding benefit. He advised the hon member who
introduced the bil: to hand it over to Government, who he

felt would deal with the matter in a proper spirit. In taking
it up he begged Lo impress on the Government that there
must be no trifling.
Mr MALINS strongly supported the measure as one of
the most humane description. The old law had remained
in force too long.

Sir G. GREY said his hon. and learned friend the Attor-
ney-General had most unequivocally promised to take up
this measure ; and therefore it was necessary that time
should be afforded to look into matters connected with the
subject, and also into the law of foreign countries.
Sir F. KELLY cordially supported the bill, and urged
the hon. gentleman to persevere with it, unless the Govern.

ment gave a promise to bring in a measure on the subject

during the present session.
The SPEA.ICER then put the question from the chair,
when the second reading of the bill was agreed to without

FATAL ACCIDENT AT EDINBURGH CASTLE.—On

London, England, 1864-06-16

England will never act at all. Such is the state.o,
affairs which, by its plausibility, bides its (4110!
dangers. The kings at Kiesengen will flatter them'''.
selves that everything is mighty smooth, and that
they have only to dictate and be obeyed—to invade
and to annex. We feel that it is useless to rewire
tulate our stock arguments. The time for argumeret
is rapidly passing away, and we are about to arriveat the "lest reason" of kings. We are just verging
on the day when England will have to drink Om
cup of humiliation to the dregs, or to stand forward
in Europe in defence of the State which she has
compromised by her advice, and which she is bound
in honour to see safe out of the miseries that w. g
have plunged her into. Denmark has always hr
tened to our counsels. She allowed, at our instee
gation, execution in Holstein; she consented to
the repeal of her constitution ; she came at our
call to the Conference; she has yielded to
the abandonment of the Treaty of London?
and to the dismemberment of her territory. Her
Plenipotentiaries take their last stand, and base
their ultimatum upon the line of frontier which via
have suggested. But all in vain. The Germans.;
who have used against her every violence, ana,
against us every chicanery, remain unsatisfied, an
°
insist upon the full accomplishment of their mon-
strous demands. The Danes feel that but 11ttle
more ruin can fall upon them, and we are awaklug
to the conviction that scarcely more dishonour can
be heaped upon us. Yet all that we have done has
been done with the best intentions ; that, however,
cannot save us from the fatal consequences. V°
must either accept the position in Europe which the
Germans are pleased to assign to us, and sink to the
level of a fourth-rate Power, or vindicate our place
among nations by the means by which we won .
t.
There can be no doubt that the arm of Englen"
when the war begins again, will be put forward in
defence of Denmark—and that with bitter regret'
but with firm determination, we shall enter upon
European war of which the ultimate consequences
will
be greater than ere contemplated by the sr.:
thinking imaginations of Berlin and Vienna. I-Y-
-our vivid perception of our responsibility and of the,
magnitude of the crisis that has made us so Wit
hold back and yield point after point. We do not
foresee any disaster that can befall us. It is not
selfishness that has dictated the painful peaceful
ness of our policy. That has proceeded ent're.if
from too much care for those who treat n 8 so
On their heads be it. The bolt will fall on those
who have provoked the storm, and when it is tc)°,
late the unwieldy despotisms who are making nia%
attempt to crush freedom and constitutional goo 1.%
will
ment have reason to mourn over provinces lc!
and weights wanting in the new arrangements
which will replace the ill-assorted diplomatic CO
ventionalities of the old balance of power.

ROBBERY BY A " VERY RESPECTABLE WOMAN."—
Margaret M'Gregor. (also called M'Geary) aged 33, and
described as a housekeeper, of No. 43, Lucas-street, St.
George-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Partridge
charged with stealing 211bs. of bacon, the property of
Alphonse Gilet, a Frenchman.
Mr. Stoddart, solicitor, eefended the prisoner.
The prosecutor, who gave his evidence through the
medium of an interpreter, keeps a beershop and provision
store, No. 10, Lucas. street. The prisoner occasionally dealt
there, and on several occasions obtained goods on credit
which she paid for. Yesterday afternoon the prisoner came
to the shop and purchased a pint of beer and a quarter of a
pound of Cheshire cheese. As she was leaving the shop
he missed a piece of bacon off the counter. Ho went after
her, and found the piece of bacon under her shawl. She
said it was her first offence, but he suspected she had before
robbed him of a large piece of bacon and on another occa-
sion of a German sausage.
Mr Stoddart cros,-examined the witness, but did not
materially shake his testimony. He then made an appeal
on behalf of the prisoner, who, he said, was a very respect-
able woman, and not likely to commit such a robbery unless
impelled by some uncontrollable impulse.
Mr Partridge said he couli make no distinction between
rich and poor. He did not know whether she was actuated
by a sudden impulse or was a confirmed thief ; but as the
prosecutor suspected she had robbed him several times
before, he fined her L 5 for the unlawful possession of the
bacon, or a month is default.
