exclusively, we repeat; by considerations of Party.
Is there any, even one instant's doubt upon the
matter ? Examine the speeches delivered during
this heavy debate of four nights' duration, examine
the speeches delivered by those only true patrii)ts
and honest men (in their own estimation, that is to
say, of course) the so-called Independent Libegrals.
sitting below the gangway ! Mark well—how they
spoke and how they voted ! They spoke every one
of them dead against the Government. So speak-
kg, of course—nominally--out of considerations of
principle. But voting afterwards—diametz ically
the other way. Voting, as we have said, solely and
exclusively with an eye to party considerations.
Not voting upon principle—there is but. one thing
to be said obviously of the course pursued by these
immaculate gentlemen, by these only spotless,
high-minded, right-thinking politicians. Lib3rav
animam meam said each of them to himself after

pronouncing his own especial condemnation
of Ministers, and then, having so whispered
consolation to their consciencs—into the lobby
after Ministers ! Hence the three hundred were
exceeded by a good broad supplementary thirteen—
the drift of the mass of arguments making up the de-
bate to the contrary notwithstanding I The debate,
in fact, having been all one way—the result of the
debate, that is to say, the upshot of the division, has
been all the other. It is an immense triumph for
Ministers, and one, moreover, upon which they have
ample reason indeed to congratulate themselves. And
what caps the climax of victory to them is this, that
it is virtually, to all intents and purposes, a twofold
victory. A victory still greater, to our thinking, in
the Lords than in the Commons. For, it would be
idle to regard the result of the division last night
in the Peers as, in any way, in the light of a triumph
for the Opposition. A majority of Nine in the
House of Lords is, in one point of view, more
of an anti-climax to the cause of the Conservatives
than a minority of Eighteen in the House of Com-
mons. Particularly, remembering that the majority
of nine in the Peers for the Opposition was in a
House (Proxies and Present) of 345—and that the
majority of eighteen in the Commons for
the Government was in a House (exclu-
sive of the Tellers) of 608 altogether. A
division, in fact, as broad and comprehensive as the
Houses of Parliament have been driven to for many
years—and therefore (so far as the Legislature itself
is concerned), upon the actual matter in dispute,
final and conclusive ! Observe what is si€ni►icantly
here intimated in parenthesis—final and conehasive
so far as the Legislature itself is concerned. For—
there is obviously, still, beyond the House of Com•
mons, the Country ! The representatives of the
people have been appealed to for their opinion, and
that opinion they have now pronounced unmis-
takeably. Bat—there still :remain—the consti-
tuencies !

Scanning the whole of this great Party D3lnte
from its commencement to its cocchision, we are
constrained to pronounce it altogether, as unques-

The 'Stamford bee Cups,

There are now on view, at the establishment of Mr. C.
F. Hancock, dm court jeweller, of Bruton•street, three
most exquisite race cups, each of which is to be contended
for at the forthcoming meeting at Stamford. The Clifden
Silver Cup, value 200 guineas, in design, is purely classical,
with rich decorations in the style of the fifteenth century.
The glittering work of art stands about 30 inches high, and
unlike the usual racing trophy, is in fact a cup of the most
splendid proportions. The front is ornamented with a fine
bas relief in oxodised silver, representing Henry
rescued by his son Prince Edward at the battle of Eves-
ham; the handles are formed of genii mounted on grotesque
dragons, and the whole is surmounted with a figure of
Fame. Nothing can be more beautiful than the execution
of the cup, and the fortunate winner may congratulate
himself on being the possessor of one of the finest specimens
of art in the precious metal ever produced.
The " Stamford Cup" and the " Welter Cup" are each
as elegant and tasteful as the Stewards' Cup, though, of
course, of less intrinsic value. The former is a cup and
cover, partly gilt, of novel form; and the latter a mediaeval
shaped silver tazza, with open worked handles, from the
antique, with a cover mounted by a fins group of horses.
The workmanship of the whole is superb; and another
circumstance for which Mr Hancock is much commended
is, that in each instance he has produced a work of both
utility and beauty, in opposition to the senseless and useless
groups generally manufactured, and ridiculously enough
denominated lacing " cups."

THAMES.

A RUFFIAN.—George Hust, a journeyman butcher, was
brouzlit before Mr Paget, charged with being drunk, dis-
orderly, and violently assaulting James Blackwell, police
sergeant, 4 H, and William Chandler, constable, 117 H.
Yesterday afternoon the two police officers were on their
way from this court to the Leman-street station-house,
when they saw the prisoner turned out of a beer-shop in
the Commercial-road. He was drunk and very disorderly.
He fought and struggled with several persons who were
exerting themselves to prevent his reentering the house
from which he had been ejected. A scene of confusion
and riot ensued, and Blackwell and Chandler promptly
interfered. The prisoner made a violent attack on both
officers. He threw Chandler, and when he got up again
kicked him on the belly. Chandler was leaved from injury
by his watch, the glass and face of which were broken.
Blackwell was not so fortunate, he was severely kicked
about the legs and body, and there was a severe bruise on
ono of his legs. The prisoner kicked, plunged, and fought
desperately, and it required the united exertions of five
police officers to secure him. He was put into a cell in
the station house without his name and address being
taken, in consequence of his violence. Another man en-
couraged the prisoner in his violence in the road, and said
" Kick them, serve them out, kill them." Blackwell was in
considerable danger.

The prisoner said he had been ill•used and kicked in
the station-house, and on this charge being investigated
and proved to be false, he said ho was very tipsy, and was
sorry for what he had done.

Mr Paget said his only doubt was whether he ought not
to send the case to the sessions. It was a very bad case,
indeed, and it was quite necessary to protect the police
from drunken and disorderly ruffians. He sentenced the
prisoner to two months' inaprisoment and hard labour.

The Shakspere Tercentenary Festival.

STRANFORD-ON-AVON, Monday Evening.
Although the festival proper expired gloriously at half-
past 5 on Saturday morning with " God save the Queen,"
vigorously played, and " Three cheers for the Mayor,"
lustily shouted in the pavilion, Mr Cdote's band having
compensated by its spirited performance of the dance music
for the very indifferent manner in which it had filled up the
theatrical interval on Friday, I felt myself bound to wait
for the pageant which, according to innumerable placards,
was to pass through the streets of Stratford this morning.
On former occasions the pageant was looked upon as
the essential part of the festival, and it had in the
eyes of the populace this distinctive advantage over all
other entertainments, that it could be seen for nothing.
Garrick's pageant, as I have already recorded, was obliged
by stress of weather to a void Stratford, and cross the boards
of Drury Lane Theatre instead ; but at all events it was
intended, and a good intention is one grade above absolute
nonentity. The procession of 1827, which seems to have
been very good, I have already described, and that of 1830,
if inferior in quality, was similar in principle—that is to
say, St. George held a foremost place, and Melpomene and
Thalia rode in cars, each followed by a train of the most
noted Shaksperian characters.
As far as I can ascertain, and my conversations on the
subject have not been unfrequent, the pageant of 1830 did
not leave a very favourable impression on the minds of the
local aristocracy. It seems to have been figuratively, if
not literally, a Brummagem affair. Still, it is affection-
ately remembered by the populace, who have been forward
in expressing their disappointment that something of the
kind was not projected by the present committee. Slighted
by the "swells," and nobly asserting their independence,
they resolved to have a " pageant" of their own, with the
assistance of Mr. Ginnett, the proprietor of an itinerant
circus, who was ready to supply any number of bipeds
and quadrupeds that might be required for that great occa-
sion.

The committee, equally resolute, were determined that
the pageant should not take place on any of the days of the
festival proper, shrewdly surmising that it would not
greatly increase the grandeur of their ceremony. Passing
through the streets this morning it conciliated the contend-
ing parties.
I give the printed programme of this supplementary
solemnity :

VIENNA, MAY 2 (Evening).
The semi-official General Correspondent of to

day says
" The mission of the Austrian and Prussian re-
presentatives at the Conference is to obtain from
Denmark a 'satisfactory indemnity for the damage
done to German shipping and commerce, and like-
wise a full guarantee against any future recurrence
of the same."
It is stated that there is no intention to despatch
the Austrian fleet to the Baltic, and that no reso-
lution to that effect has been adopted by the Cabinet
Council.

tidings are received with incredulity. The fleet in
the Downs! What then ? To what blue use may
our navy be put ? Is an Englishman or a foreigner
at the helm ? At best, we scarcely like (our fleet to
figure at the fag-end of an abortive Conference.
The Conference meets once more this day, and the
fleet, as the Admiralty tells us, shakes its canvass
over the Downs. We wait for both; we 'wait for
the Conference to prove itself better than a sham,
and for the fleet to deserve a higher eulogium than
can be bestowed by his grace of Somerset, or
echoed by that most jaunty 0/' Whigs—Lord Paget,
his deputy—in a House of Col.

IN RE T. SMALE3-TIIE CASE,OF CAPTAIN SMALES.
This bankrupt was described as of Clapton-square, Hack-

The unfortunate position in which this gentleman bas
been placed through the much-discussed court-martial in
India has rendered it necessary for him to apply to this
Court to be released from his liabilities, and this was a first
meeting for choice of assignees, The bankrupt states
his debts at about £3,350, and further saith, "I attribute
my bankruptcy to the result of my court-martial in
India, my stoppage of pay, expenses of bringing myself
and family from India, defending myself, and leaving a
large family dependent on me, wife and eight children, and
my only income being half-pay at 63. a day, and from ray
inability to obtain employment in civil life.
No creditors attended and no assignees were chosen, and
the Bth of June, at one o'clock, was appointed for the meet-
ing for the last examination and discharge.
Mr. Aldridge takes the case as solicitor to the official
assignee.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 3, 1864.

This afternoon, according to announcement, the
Conference reassembled in Downing-street. Does
anyone, however, believe that the slightest possible
good can come of it ? Anyone that is out of Bed-
lam. It is eel tainly hard to think so—particularly
after the point blank refusal of the preliminary
proposition of the armistice. And still more is it
difficult to conceive the possibility of any really
good and practical result coming from what is re-
garded by the belligerents themselves with such
supreme and ineffable indifference, The sittings of
the Conference, in Point of fact, exercise no influence
whatever either upon the course of events at the
actual seat of war, or upon
the councils of Europe
as these latter are evidenced t
hrough the policies of
the respective continental Governments. So far
as any influence could come of it, indeed, the plerli'
potentiaries again collected together to discuss the
Schleswig-Holstein difficulty over a table in one of
the official apartments of the First Lord of
the Treasury in Downing-street,
might just as
well have been discussing a good dinner and
(after the cloth was removed) the rival merits
of STIAKSPERZ and the musical gla:.,Aes. It is the
hobby of our Foreign Secretary, however : and—no,
that that bobby has OLC3 been mounted—it must
ridden on, as patiently as may be, at the same
dull, hopeless jog-trot, even to the end. Besides—
ener all—it is serving its purpose. It is whiling
away the difficult time of the session. It is post-
poning the otherwise inevitable discussion of the
foreign policy of Her MAJESTY'S Government,
particularly in this matter of Denmark : a
discussion of a very alarming character, in-
deed, for her MAJESTY'S Government. The delay
of the blue-book was the first dodge of the
kind, hit upon ; and that, we all know, during the
first weeks of the oession, succeeded to ndrniration.
It was very irritating no doubt—but it succeeded.
And its success as an excuse for putting cif the evil
day (of discussion) both in the Lords and in the

ST, JAMES'S THEATRE.

last
A farce, which greatly reminded us of poor Strickland's
performance in "Toni Noddy's Secret," was produced hero
" Out of Sight Out of Mind," Charles
Mathews sustaining the principal part. The hero, one Mr.
Gatherwool, is afflicted with defective memory, but to call
to mind various engagements ho adopts the plan of tying
knots in his handkerchief, and other expedients, but all to
no avail. Ile invites friends to dinner, and gives good-
natured promises to everybody; but also his treacherous
memory defeats him, and lands him in all sorts of trouble.
It afforded Scope for Mr. Charles Mathews to delight tne
fashionable audience nightly attracted to the St. James's
Theatre for about 40 minutes,
so it must be pronounced a
success, especially as the laughter is incessant from the ris-
ing to the descent of the curtain.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday at Cam-
bridge House. The Ministers present were—Viscount
Palmerston, Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, Sir George
Grey, Earl Russell, the Right Hon. Edward Cardwell, Earl

to be up agen in the mornin' afore daylight, I spy it goes
hard agen him to nibble a bit off his nat'ral rest for readin'
and prayin' ; but I oft-times prays while I works, and God
Almighty accepts it all the same as if I was down en my
knees. He don't look at postures, He don't, when a man's
heart's in the right place."
" Well, that's over much for me, it is. I couldn't harass
wi' a religion as allers kept me going like that. I'm com-
fortable as I is, and that's t' reason, Larry, I don't go to
hear your ranter preachers; they make folks believe 'em
whether they've a mind to or not, and I don't want to
be set askew, and I don't want to bo meddled wi' about
that five minutes afore t' bell rings. Things goes easy
wi' me now, and I don't see no colt to harass about them
there spiritle matters,"
The new steward whose arrival has given rise to
the above discussion is destined to play a very eons
spieueua part in Janita's history. His brilliant,
treacherous sister Ncellinr,
,is cleverly drawn, per-
haps a little overdrawn, and Mrs. Rivers, the
mother of this ill-matchedbrotLer and sistr, is a
very exaggerated portrait, With some minor
blemishes " lanita's cross" is, as we have already
laid, awry charming story—delightful to read and
descrviqz to be remembered.
