soldiers of Government measures, when carried
beyond a temperate expression of opinion, tends to
destroy discipline by substituting political faction
for that steady support of Government which is the
highest duty of the American soldier. In carrying
out the measures of the Government the army will
be guided by the same mercy and Christianity
which have always controlled its conduct towards
the defenceless."

The North seems, ho wever, to be as united as we
could well expect, on the expediency of the procla-
mation. The Democrats, as at once leaning to
slavery, and in party opposition to the Government,
would naturally make the worst of it, but the Go-
vernors, as we have already seen, . support the
Government cordially, and generally the feeling
seems to be that slavery must perish rather than
the Union. This, indeed, is the height of Northern
morality on the subject. It would care little about
slavery, if the South did not want to
occupy free soil with it, or make it the occa-
sion of breaking up the Union. But when it
finds that slaves not only prompt their masters
to fight to keep then', but even enable them to
fight by working for them, then, indeed, the North
gets angry with the long petted " domestic insti-
tution." It then dooms it to death when it seems
likely to divide the great Republic, and to en-
danger the result pointed to in these telegrams
by General IVADswoRTH, the Republican candi-
date for the Governmentship of New York, that
" the American Continent under one government
is still destined to dictate terms to the world in

arms."

During the course of his very able speech on
Thursday in Dublin upon the occasion of the meet-
ing of the QUEEN'S University, the right hon. baronet
the Irish Secretary °been ed—" The Vice Chan-
cellor alluded in touching words to the presence on
a former occasion of one who is now removed from
the scene—Sir THOMAS WYSE. He was a member
of the Senate, he had been a member for Water-
ford, and he was one of these Roman Catholic
Members of Parliament who was most anxious
for the establishment of the QUEEN'S Col-
leges in Ireland. His expressions have been
alluded to by the Vice-Chancellor and
I will refer to them. His expressions,
on the occasion when he attended here in 1860,
were :—‘ I take the greatest joy ih witnessing the
progress Ireland has made, and the time is not far
distant when the colleges will bear the most ample
fruit ; while in your efforts, your exertions, and in
all your rewards, I have continually taken the most
intense interest.' That was the language of Sir
THOMAS WYSE the last time he was in this hall.
Well, this language is very encouraging when we
recollect the battles he fought in former years,
which led to the endowment of those colleges.
But we must recollect that Sir THOMAS WYSE
is not the only distinguished Roman Catholic
Irishman who supported the principle of those
colleges." This is the first public tribute paid
to the memory of the late Right Hon. Sir
THOMAS WYSE, her MAJESTY'S Ambassador at
Athens, since the period of his lamented de-
cease—the first public tribute offered to his
memory by any member of her MAJESTY'S Govern-
ment. The official position which the right hon.
baronet occupies in Ireland as the chief representative,
politically, of that Government renders it a tribute
peculiarly valuable in its way; and more parti-
cularly so, from the fact, that it is a tribute paid to
the memory of Sir THOMAS WYSE as an advocate
of National Education. Among the most eloquent
of the champions of that great and beneficent
cause the late Sir THOMAS WYSE stood forth in his
time conspicuously. His services were important
and long sustained. They are worthy of being
held, they are secure, we believe, of being held,
for a long while yet to come, both in England and
in Ireland, in grateful recollection.

ATTEMPTED SUPPRESSION OF CHARLTON, OR
"HORN" FAIR.—A. memorial, from several of the resi-
dents of Charlton, has been presented to Sir R. Mayne, Chief
Commissioner of Police, for the suppression of the above
chartered fair, and now being the only recognised pleasure
fair in the metropolis. To this an answer has been received
that the fair having been in existence and held on the same
spot from time immemorial (the charter having been granted
in the reign of King John), the Commissioners of Metropo-
litan Police did not possess the power to order its discon-
tinuance; and Sir T. M. Wilson, Bart., the lord of the
manor of Charlton, having declined to aid the memorialists,
by refusing to let the ground for holding the fair, the same
will be opened this day (Saturday), and will continue on
Monday and Tuesday next.
The Prince and Princess Royal of Prussia have

MARRIAGE OF LADY CHARLOTTE INNES KER.—
The marriage of Lady Charlotte Innes Ker, second daughter
of his Grace the Duke of Roxburghe, to Mr. George Rus-
sell, the private secretary to Earl Russell, is arranged to
take place on Tuesday, 28th (icteber. In view of the ap-
proaching interesting ceremony, tilde haste been two meet-
ings of the committee appointed to arrange the rejoicings in
Kelso at the coming of age of the Marquis of P,ownsont,
several members of this committee, after endeavouring to
ascertain the feeling of the townspeople on the subject, and
consultation with the magistratesfind the prevailing desalt
to be that everything should be conducted with equal splen-
dour to what was done en the occasion of the marriage of

Inmate."
A NEW CRIMINAL OFFENCE.—On WeLesday
a case came on for trial at the Preston quarter sessions
which comprised a new offence, and so far as we know, is
the first of the kind under the Act of Parliament. y the
Criminal Law Consolidation Act, 24th and 25th Victoria,
chap. 101, any person taking a reward for helping to the re-
covery of stolen property, without bringing the offender to
trial, shall be guilty of felony. Under the section Michael
Kilfoyle and Patrick Cullinan were charged with having,
on the 18th September last, taken a sovereign to help John
Cleery to the recovery of a watch which had been stolen
from him a day or two before. It appeared that Cleery was
barrack sergeant at Fleetwood, and, on returning home on
the night of the 17th September, about nine o'clock, was
knocked down by a private soldier, and robbed of his
watch. The next day Kilfoyle offered to get the watch back
if the sergeant would give him a sovereign. The money
was paid, and by Kilfoyle's directions, the sergeant went
down to the beach and there saw the other prisoner Culli-
nan. They told him if he would walk on a little he would
find the watch in a piece of paper; he did so, and found the
watch as described. The chairman explained the law to the
jury, but notwithstanding the evidence which had been
given, the jury, to the surprise of all, returned a verdict of
not guilty.

FATAL GARIBALDIAN QUARREL IN LIVERPOOL.
—An Irish porter, James Rooney, was drinking yesterday
with a Lascar seaman, in Robinson's spirit vaults, near
George's Dock, when the conversation turned upon Gari.
baldi. The men came to high words, and when the Lascar
went out into the street he shouted " Hurrah for Garibaldi!"
" To with you and Garibaldi I " was the response of
the porter, and striking the Lascar over the face Rooney
knocked him down. A loaded lorry was passing at the
time, and tke Lascar falling between the wheels, they passed
over and killed him. Rooney is in custody.
