THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.

A letter was read from the solicitors of Mr. Furness to
Major Lyon complaining of expressions used by the latter at
a previous meeting of the Board. Major Lyon said that
sometimes he was violent and fell into error, and proposed
that a correspondence connected with the matter should be
referred to a committee. Mr. Freeman did not consider that
Mr. Furness was open to the charge of obstinacy made
against him.

-40--

Affairs in the South are still in a transition state,
and very conflicting elements are at work, pro-
ducing turbulence and uncertainty. There can be
no doubt that LEE and DAVIS have been very much
hampered in their designs and movements by the
vis inertia of self-interest and prejudice. It would
seem at first sight that a country possessing at the
same time a civil leader of sound administrative
ability, and a military leader of undoubted genius,
would be certain of speedy success, but the history

COUNTRY MARKETS

._~._.~M~.._...-,

LIVERPOOL.—FRIDAY.
We have had an unusually thin attendance of both town
and country millers and dealers at our corn exchange this
morning, and in the small amount of business passing, the
advance of ld per cental on wheat which was realised on
Tuesday was with difficulty obtainable. American flour,
from actual scarcity, remains 6d dearer than this day week,
but there is no improvement whatever in French. Indian
corn is quite neglected, and the advance of 6d per qr. esta-
blished on Tuesday is now little better than nominal, to
effect sales. Oats scarce and fully id dearer on the week,
and oatmeal 6d per load. Beans, peas, and barley are each
steady at extreme rates. Market dull throughout.

YORK.

Yesterday (Friday) afternoon a meeting of the
principal Conservative electors of this city was held
at Harker's York Hotel (convened by circular), to
receive a communication from Colonel Smyth, M.P.
who has represented the city for 18 years.
W. D. HUSBAND, Esq., chairman of the Conser-
vative committee, was called to the chair ; and he
announced the determination of Colonel Smyth to
retire from Parliament at the next election. An
address from the gallant colonel was read, expres-
sive of his thanks for the support which hehad always
received, and for the kindness ever evinced to him.
The meeting next considered the question as to a
successor to Colonel Smyth, and it was unanimously
agreed to invite James Lowther, Esq., nephew of
Sir J. H. Lowther, Bart., of Swillington Park and
Wilton Castle, Yorkshire, to become a candidate
for the representation.
Mr. Lowther and his respected uncle (who repre-
sented York from 1835 to 1847) being in the city, a
deputation was appointed to wait upon Mr.
Lowther, and that gentleman, accompanied by Sir
John Lowther, immediately repaired to the meet-
ing, where he at once accepted the invitation amidst
enthusiastic applause.
The name of Lowther has long been honoured
and esteemed in the old city, and a more popular
selection could not have been made.

YOUGHAL.-Sir John Arnott has come forward
as a candidate for the representation of Youghal at
the next election, and has addressed the electors.
Mr. M'Kenna has also issued an address. Mr.
Hobson makes the third candidate for the seat, and
is doubtful whether there will not be a fourth in the
person of the present member, Mr. Isaac Butt.

MOVEMENT OF THE GUARDS. —Yesterday the
second battalion of Coldstream Guards, which have been
doing garrison duty at Windsor Castle since the 15th of
September last, were relieved by the first battalion of Cold-
stream Guards, under the command of Colonel Carlton.
The second battalion, under the command of Col.Peilding,
proceeded by a special train on the Great Western Railway
to Paddington, to St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross.

WESTMINSTER.

THE MATILIMONIAL CAUSES ACT—WOMAN MUST WORK.
—A very respectable-looking woman, about 35 years of
age, applied to Mr. Selfe for a protection order, under the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act.

Mr. Selfe having inquired what were the circumstances,
Applicant said that she had been parted from her husband
for three years, during which time she had no maintenance
whatever from him.

Mr. Selfe—Did you leave him or he leave you ?
Applicant—He left me. He deserted me without caring
what became of me.

Mr. Selfe—Do you lmow where ho is ?
Applicant—l do not.

Mr. Selfe—Have you seen him since he left you, as you
describe, three years ago ?

Applicant—Once only, about two years ago ; but then I
saw him in the street, but nothing passed between us.
Mr. Belle—How have you supported yourself since your
husband left you ?

Applicant—l have been supported by my friends.
Mr. Selfo—Have you done nothing for your own living ?
Applicant—No, my friends, who are very respectable,
have kept me.

Mr. Selfo—To enable me to grant you an order the
property to be protected must have been the fruit of your
exertion. In the words of the statute the magistrate has
the power to protect any money or property she may
acquire by her own lawful industry. At present I have
no power to assist you, as you have not acquired anything
in the mode described.

Applicant—My friends have not put me in any business
for fear my husband should come and claim it. They
would set me up now, but for that fear. They of course
do not like the notion, after his desertion, of establishing
me in any business which he may come and claim at any
time, and then go away again.

Mr. Selfe repeated that at present he could not help her,
and she withdrew.

TIIE COLLIER'S BOY.—Besides the mate, there
are usually in a collier of 200 tons three able seamen
and two apprentices, the younger of whom is designated
" boy," and what that boy does is marvellous. He is, of
course, compelled to obey the captain and mate, and the
seamen exact obedience from him too. He is always wanted.
If one of the able seamen is ordered to pull a sheet or rope

in
the ropes aloft, the
to "cast off" the knot or report what is the matter.
The captain wants him in the cabin, the cook in the
galley, the mate on deck, and the three able seamen close
to the precise spot where they happen to be. He is sent up
to unroll the " burgee," which is foul ; down hi the fore-
peak for a coil of rope. It is- " Figaro quh, Figaro lit Figaro
su, Figaro gilt." And "Where's that boy ?" "Bless that
boy " That boy's no use at all " are exclamations which
add considerable piquancy to•the conversation of a collier's
crew. But when danger comes and the boat is launched
off the deck of the foundering ship, the "boy" is put
first into it ; or if a repo is the only means of corn-
munication between a stranded vessel and the shore, some
strong man may go first to .see that "all is right,"
but the boy is the second. The boys who determine on &
seafaring life aro sometimes country lads tired of the plough,
very difficult to teach, and frequently very obstinate ; boys
from towns with a great deal of low cunning and a hazy
notion of the rights of property ; and boys who have rela-
tives at sea, and who are disagreeable by continually
making invidious comparisons between their master and
others, or their fellow-seamen and friends. Perhaps, too,'
they are natives of the place whence the vessel hails, and
are " well up" in all the local gossip of the port. If so,
that boy will render every crew discontented.—" Corn/till
Magazine" for April.

We have had an unusually thin attendance of both town

morning, and in the small amount of business passing, the
advance of ld per cental on wheac which was realised on
Tuesday was with difficulty obtainable. American flour,
from actual scarcity, remains 6d dearer than this day week,
but there is no improvement whatever in French. Indian
corn is quite neglected, and the advance of 6d per q!. esta-
blished on Tuesday is now little better than nominal, to
effect sales. Oats scarce and fully id dearer on the week,
and oatmeal 6d per load. Beans, peas, and barley aro each
steady at extreme rates. Market dull throughout.

WESTMINSTER.

THE MATRIMONIAL CAUSES ACT-WOMAN MUST WORK,

—A vory respectable-looking woman, about 35 years of
ago, applied to Mr. Selfe for a protection order, under the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act.

Mr. Selfe having inquired what were the circumstances,
Applicant said that she had been parted from her husband
for three years, during which time she had no maintenance
whatever from him.

Mr. Selfe—Did you leave him or he leave you ?
Applicant—He left me. He deserted me without caring
what became of me.

Mr. Selfe—Do you know where ho is ?
Applicant—l do not.
. .

Mr. Selfo—Have you seen him since he left you, as you
describe, throe years ago ?
Applicant—Once only, about two years ago ; but then I
saw him in the street, but nothing passed between us.
Mr. Selfe—How have you supported yourself sinco your
husband left you ?

Applicant—l have been supported by my friends.
Mr. Selfe—Have you done nothing for your own living ?
Applicant—No, my friends, who are Ncry respectable,
have kept me.

Mr. Selfe—To enable me to grant you an order the
property to be protected must have been the fruit of your
exertion. In the words of the statute the magistrate has
the power to protect any money or property she may
acquire by her own lawful industry. At present I have
no power to assist you, as you have not acquired anything
in the mode described.

Applicant—My friends have not put mo in any business
for fear my husband should como and claim it. They
would set me up now, but for that fear. They of course
do not like the notion, after his desertion, of establishing
me in' any business which he may come and claim at any
time, and then go away again.
Mr. Selfe repeated that at present ho could not help her,
and she withdrew.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS

CAIRD asked the President of the Board of Trade
whether it was the intention of Government to givo effect
to tlie reaolutlon of the house in favour of the collection of
the agricultural statistics of Great Britain ?

3.1 i. M. GIBSON said the matter had boon under consi-
deration, but it had been decided not to introduce any mea-
sure for the purpose.

ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.

Mr. 0. STANLEY asked the Secretary to the Admi-
y if the Board of Admiralty had any intention to sanc-
tion or support any f:,3sh attempt to reach th 3 North Polo
by Spitzbergen or any other route, or recommend any
grant of public money for that purpose ?
Lord C. PAGET said no prvosals of such a nature had
been made to the Government, and therefore could not
state what the intentions would be if such a grave proposal
was made.

JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS IN AUSTRALIA.
Lord 11. MONTAGU asked the Attorney-General
whether the Mr. H. J. Stoner who had lately been
appointed by the Lord Chancellor as judge of a county
court was the person whose appointment as judge in Aus-
tralia had been cancelled, in accordance with the report of
the committee moved for by the present Chancellor of the
Exchequer, and on the ground that Mr. Stoner had been
found guilty of corruption.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the question con-
veyed some misstatements. The appointment of Mr.
Stoner bad been made by the Lord Chancellor after full
consultation with the Government, so the Government
were answerable for the appointment. He considered that
Mr. Stoner had been very hardly used. Mr. Stonor had
been appointed to a very responsible post, and he had been
recalled in obedience to the report of a com-
mittee appointed to inquire into certain charges of
corruption made against him. Ho did think, however,
that the evidence warranted the conclusion arrived at. It
bad often been thought that Mr. Stonor had a claim upon
the Government for the hardships he had suffered. He
was appointed in 1858 to a responsible post in the West
India Encumbered Estates Court, and Mr. Stonor, having
fulfilled his office with the greatest integrity and honour,
ho had applied for leave to exchange his appointment for
one in Australia, and he had had his application granted.
ARMY AND NAVY ESTIMATES—THE EASTER
London, England, 1865-04-01

BETTING AT MANCHESTER--FnmAy.

There was an average attendance at the Subscription
Rooms this day, and business was of the same changeable
character as we have been accustomed to note for some

time past. rail Train, at the commencement of proceed-
ings, appeared likely to travel on the down line for the
Northamptonshire Stakes, as 100 to 6 was laid against
him. During the afternoon, however, the Woodyeates
commissioner accepted 100 to 8 seven times, and backed
Mail Train at various prices down to 7 to 1, that figure
being wanted at the finish. Hartley was firm at 10 to 1
and Skeffington returned to that price (taken and offered).
At 100 to 8 Swordsman was supported, and Huntsman's
Daughter and John Davis were trivially invested on at
our quoted prices. Fantail declined to 25 to 1 (offered),
and 50 to 1 was laid to small sums against the Vest colt.
For the Chester Cup The Lion—who has been struck out
of the Northamptonshire Stakes, after occupying a pecu-
liar position in the quotation list for several days past—
advanced to 11 to 1 (taken), and 200 to 9 was accepted
about the Highfiyer's dam colt. Tho Two Thousand
Guineas and Derby betting was of an insignificant charac-
ter. Closing prices

FRANCE.

" The Bey of Tunis," says the Presse, " who was
made to understand by the last insurrection the
force of the famous political apothegm, Si vis paeem,
para bellum, lately applied to France for some pieces
of artillery. The Government, it is said, has deter-
mined on giving him 100 guns, 50 thirty-pounders,
and 50 twenty-four."
" News has been received from Beyrout," says
the Moniteur, "that Joseph Karam has submitted,
in consequence of the understanding established
between Daoud-Pacha and the Patriarch."

Marshal Benedek, Commander-in-Chief of the

Austrian forces in Venetia, has been ordered to
Vienna to take part in the deliberations relative to
the reduction of the army.
Vice-Admiral Bouet-Willaumez, commander-in-
chief of the Mediterranean squadron, has hoisted his
flag on board the Solferino, which has undergone a
thorough repair.
A strong causeway is about to be constructed
along the left bank of the Mayenne for the protec-

tion of the town of Laval. The cost is estimated at
1,140,000 f., of which 335,000 f. will be furnished by
the town, the same amount by the department, and
470,000 f. by the State.

The Chronique of Libourne (Gironde) relates that
the proprietor of a travelling menagerie, named
Peson, was exposed to great danger during a public
