TILE ADMIRALTY.

The Standard gives this explanation of the two
sensational navy resignations :
We have reason to believe that the reported resigna-
tion of Mr. Reed, as chief constructor of the navy, is
entirely due to the position which that gentleman has felt
called upon to assume in consequence of his sympathy
with Admiral Sir Spencer Robinson, Controller of • the
Navy, who has been required to withdraw from the
active list of naval officers under circumstances which
appear to inflict undeserved hardship on a valuable public
servant. The final settlement of this transaction is at
present uncertain, Mr. Reed's resignation being more or
less conditional on the decision of the Government with
reference to Admiral Robinson.

The question is, why did Sir Spencer Robinson
resign ? According to one account it was because he
attempted an act of intimidation ; but in this case it
would be strange indeed if Mr. Reed felt himself
called upon to resign too.

THE CUBAN DIFFICULTY.

In the sitting of the Senate Mr. Sumner introduced a
substitute for the resolution passed by the House of
Representatives with reference to Cuba. It protests
against the barbarities of the war, and insists on their
cessation. It also expresses regret that Spain continues
the system of negro •slavery in Cuba, and that she per-
sists in her efforts to maintain by violence her jurisdic-
tion over the island oontrary to the laws of progress.
The resolution is regarded as antagonistic to the policy of
the Administration. The Commissioner of Agriculture
estimates the present wheat crop at a decrease of 5 per
cent. throughout the country, while the hay is estimated
largely to exceed the average. Cotton also promises to
exceed the crop of last year.

IRRESISTIBLE TEMPTATION.

The intense heat, which reached its height on
Wednesday, did considerable mischief; but its worst
deed was to ally itself with official bungling,
and thus succeed in killing a soldier.
The second battalion of the 9th Regiment
was ordered to change its quarters this week from
Warley to Aldershott. On Tuesday, under a broil-
ing sun, the men were made to trudge fifteen miles
in heavy marching order. When they reached Strat-
ford, in East London, it was found that only half
the requisite amount of accommodation had
been ordered, and thus, part of the force spent the
night under the hedgerows. On Wednesday, they
started off again, and underwent another fifteen
miles of torture, again in heavy marching order, and
arrived at the West of London completely ex-
hausted. One man died of fatigue, and
another is said to be in a hopeless con-
dition. Of course, every allowance is to be
made for the temptation to bungling. It is a long
time since a man was killed by the heat, in fact,
it is a long time since we had any killing tempera-
ture ; and thus there is some excuse for the worthy
officials indulging in a luxury of which they have
long been deprived. But as neither the
public nor the unhappy men who are treated
with this shameful disregard of consequences, share
the fun, it might just as well be discontinued.
Seldom does hot weather set in without some " acci-
dent " of this kind.

THE ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS.

It is announced that the governor of the West India
island of St. Thomas has issued a- proclamation plac-
ing the island again under the, protection of
Denmark, in consequence of the failure of
the United States to ratify the Annexation

Treaty. This is a fitting termination to
one of the most discreditable episodes in the history
of the United States. It was at the special and pres-
sing request of the American Government, that the
Danes consented to sell their island. They took no
initiative in the matter ; the whole bargain was the
work of the other party. The treaty was drawn up,
and the Danish Government renounced its claim
to the territory. Yet the Senate has ever since
persistently neglected to ratify the bargain, and
though months have elapsed, nothing more has been
done. As President Grant himself said, the honour
of the United States is compromised by such a trans-
action.

be presented to her Majesty praying that she would direct
that divine service should be performed therein. Earl

also because he did not think the House of Commons

EAILLSWOOD ASYLUM.

Of the many institutions which help to mitigate
the sufferings of afflicted humanity Earlswood
Asylum stands out in high relief. The asylum is
situate near Reigate, and the position of the noble
Gothic structure, standing as it does in its
own beautiful grounds, is well chosen for
the humane purpose to which it is' de-
voted. The annual festival is looked forward to
with much interest by the inmates, and the amuse-
ments provided for them are enjoyed with gleesome
eagerness. Cricket, croquet, Aunt Sally, Punch and
Judy, are as welcome to the poor Cretins as an
additional sovereign to the miser's heap. Here
and there one poor demented-looking face
may be seen looking blankly at vacant
space, but the great majority, though bear-
ing the stamp of afflicted intellect, partake of
their pleasures like their healthier fellows. The
Earlswood Asylum is not entirely a charitable insti-
tution. Some of the inmates are elected, and receive
care and education out of funds subscribed by the
public ; others pay a certain sum towards their main-
tenance, while others again are supported by their
relatives. The full benefits of the institution, how-
ever, can only be brought into active operation by
the liberality of the public.

THE FRENCH BUDGET.

The report of the Budget Committee has been presented
to the French Chambers. It proposes to suppress the in-
demnity of the Privy Council, and while main-
taining the amount given to the Councillors
of State at 25,000 francs, it demands the re-
duction of their numbers. In the War Budget the
committee proposes the reduction of the Imperial Guard
and the suppression of four squadrons for this year. The
Minister of War agrees to this, and surrenders an indem-
nity of 30,000 for the expenses of representation. Three of
the great commands "have ceased to exist, and these will
not be resuscitated. The Government wishes to preserve
the three others, Paris, Nancy, and Lyons. The salaries
paid to the three commandants will be :—For Paris,
130,000 f. ; for Lyon, 100,000 f. ; for Nancy, 72,000 f. ;
each being reduced by 20,000 f. By these
changes the expense of the grand commands, which
was hitherto 600,000 f., will be reduced to 220,000.
The high price of food and forage has occasioned an
increase of more than four million francs for the army,
and two million for the marine. But the reduction
of the guard will save a million. The committee
proposes an addition of 820,000 f. to the Budget for primary
instruction, and of 25,000 f. for astronomical establish-
ments. Altogether the proposed amendments will make
an increase of 22 millions, and a decrease of 35? millions ;
the great saving being effected in the War Budget. The
only great change proposed in the ordinary receipts is the
reduction on the patent and stamp duties, which will
diminish the receipts by 4,600,000 f.

A. fatal accident has just occurred in a quarry at
Frenchay. Two men, named Joseph Middleton and
Walter Jones, were engaged in working under a ledga. of
rock, when suddenly it gave way and fell upon them,
crushing both of them in a dreadful manner. Jones was
killed on the spot, and Middleton was much injured.
THE VIENNA EXHIBITION.—NearIy double the
necessary sum has been guaranteed for the Universal Ex-
hibition of 1873 in Vienna, and the realisation of the
scheme is looked upon as certain, although the Czechs
have refused to take any part in the affair. Fortu-
nately the chief branches of industry in Bohemia
are in the hands of the Germans, so that the
absence of the Czechs will not diminish the eclat
of the affair, to which Austria attaches so great an im-
portance.

lA. PERIAL PARLIAMENT.
London, England, 1870-06-25

A MEDICAL GRIEVANCE.

Doctors very often complain of the continual dis-
turbance to which they are liable at night, and it is
by no means an unusual thing to hear complaints
on the other side from persons who have
vainly sought their aid in case of dangerous
illness or accident. It sometimes happens that in
sudden emergencies at night several physicians are
applied to before one is found able and willing to
come, while again nervous or inconsiderate patients will
not scruple to arouse the wearied doctor from his hard-
earned sleep without any sufficient cause. It is pro-
posed to remedy all these several grievances by a
scheme just suggested by Dr. Amenille of the Con-
seil d' Hygiene of Paris. Those phySicians who are
willing to be. called up at night are to give in
their names at the police stations, where those who
want medical aid at night are to apply, and an agent
will accompany them to the doctor's house. By this
means the medical profession will avoid another
cause of complaint in the frequent loss of payment for
these midnight visits, since the person .who
applies for the doctor at the police station
will give his address, and he will afterwards be called
upon for the amount due. If for any reason he fails
.to pay, it will be charged to the public expenses.
Young doctors, and those who have not much
practice by day, might be glad to take the
chance of night work, which was certain to be
paid for. This appears to be a simple and sensible
method of providing those who really require medi-
cal help with the certainty of qualified assistance,
while it would secure overtasked and wearied physi-
cians from the chance of continual disturbance.

ROYAL CREMORNE GARDENS.

The Hampton Race gala drew together a large number of
visitors at these delightful gardens, which are now display-
ing all their natural beauties, and which ought to be seen
by daylight to be really enjoyed, for, although the lighting
up of the varied coloured bedding out plants is most artis-
tically effected by means of gas reflectors, yet it is a
borrowed light, giving but a faint idea of the beauty of the
day tints. The International Theatre is nightly put to a
variety of uses. It serves for a Ballet Divertissement, a
Concert Hall, audio, grand Trapeze display, for which its
finely arched roof is admirably adapted. The Ballet
Divertisement has been lately produced by M. Holtzer, in
which he has shown considerable talent by placing before
the public the dancing of all the important nations of the
world, their peculiar figures and dresses, concluding with
a grand international dance, exhibiting their respective
banners and flags.
The admirable way in whioh the divertissement is put
upon the stage is another proof of the liberality of the
management as the dancing of little Lizzie Wright is of
the excellence of the engagements.

The concert is sustained by the troupe of Star Christy
Minstrels, whose vocal and instrumental performances
evince the possession of voices and musical attainments
far above the average of coloured artistes, which is proved
by the beautiful tenor song of Mr. George and by the
nicely executed harp solo of Mr. Bellizra.
The trapeze display is now made by Signor Eugenio
alone, who nightly gives proof of an easy daring in his
rapid flights, which sets his exertions far above the com-
monplace place efforts which are generally made in am-
phitheatres or music halls.
Race galas are generally accompanied by an exuberance
of spirits in the visitors. On this occasion their pleasure
was evinced by a quiet enjoyment of the good things of
Cremorne, and by a marked acquiescence in the legal
time, which is always faithfully kept at this popular place
of amusement.

HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE.

The career of the young nobleman whose bones
have just been laid in the secluded cemetery at
Christ Church, Hampshire; has no doubt in some
instances afforded ground for censure. But as
Lord A. Clinton's acts may be traced rather to
thoughtlessness and folly than to any criminal ten-
dency of disposition, the fair fame which there
is undoubted record to prove he deservedly gained
for himself as a British sailor must not at
this period be allowed to lose its lustre
among brave and just Englishmen. Lord
krthur entered the Navy as a midshipman at a very
early age, and from his first day on board ship he
was held in esteem by his brother officers. In the
year 1801 he became lieutenant; having achieved
many marks of distinction for his valour and courage
in trying times. During the Indian mutiny the gal-
lant young sailor served under Captain Sir William
Peel in the Naval Brigade, and he is mentioned
as one of the first to enter Lucknow.
during the siege. In the struggle he received a
wound, which, however, soon healed, and
he came home to England to receive two gold clasp
medals from the Queen's hands for his valiant con-
duct. His name was many times referred to with
honour in the despatches sent from India. It was
soon after the 1857-58 campaign that Lord A. Clinton
retired from active service, perhaps unfortunately for
his future. Ms Lordship was placed on the reserve
list on half-pay, and on coming of age he started an
apparently wild life in England, where there were
few members of his own family to watch over his
mode of living and counsel him as to the many things
expected of him.

THE IRISH LAND BILL.

The Times says the conduct of the committee is disap-
pointing. The debate on the second reading raised the
hope, perhaps too sanguinely entertained, that the Peers
who are legislators also had emancipated themselves
from the prejudices of mere landowners, but this belief
has been almost entirely dispelled in the two nights that
have passed. The Times finds the Opposition impressed one
and all with the profound conviction that the proprietary
rights they exercise under a system so complicated and
technical as the real property law of England correspond
in the minutest particulars with the deductions of inde-
pendent morality. The simple faith thus indicated
is naturally most startling when held by men of
the greatest ability. Lord Salisbury seems to be
persuaded of the absolute perfection of our law
of property. An argument used by Lord Halifax that it
was better to pay compensation than to be shot —in other
words, that it is better to be compelled by legal process
to do justice than to suffer by illegal process vengeance
for doing injustice—excited him yesterday in the
highest degree. He protested that such reasoning had
never before been used in a free Legislature, and he leaves
upon us the impression not only that he believes in the
perfection of our own law, but that he is ignorant that
such a modification as is now proposed to be introduced
in Ireland has long prezailed in principle throughout a
wide breadth of Europe.
The Glasgow Daily Mail says the Lords have addressed
themselves to consideration of the Land Bill in a business-
like way. Some utterly foolish propositions encumber
the notice paper, but much may be said for those which
stand in the names of leading men. The bill is likely to
pass weakened, but not essentially changed.

LAW-LOVING SCOTCHMEN.

Scotchmen have hitherto been allowed to appro-
priate to themselves credit for what is considered a
national characteristic. Common sense is supposed
to be as indigenous to Scotland as her prickly
emblem, and for centuries this belief has been
allowed to go unquestioned. But there is an end
to all this. The glory has departed, and
for the future the land o' cakes must be
content to take a position of inferiorityto that which she has so long assumed.
The case just heard by the House of Lords is one of
those astonishing pieces of absurdity that might
sometimes crop up in Laputa, but which one hardly
expects to see discussed in a British Court of Law:
To settle a dispute about a triangular plot of ground
said to be worth ss. does not present to the ordi-
nary mind any great difficulty, but nevertheless it has
cost two Scotch gentlemen much trouble and money be-
fore the difference has been disposed of. Given the heavy
fees of such lawyers as Sir Roundell Palmer, the
Lord Advocate, and Mr. Mellish, Q.C., how many
acres of land could be purchased for the aggregate
amount ? Add to this the value of the time spent
by the various judges of the Court of-Session,besides
the lords in the Appeal Court, to say nothing of the
expenses of witnesses, and other costs, and the sum
would be sufficient to buy a small province in Ger-
many. Well might Lord Chelmsford remark on the
state of the law which permits such abuses.

MORE BABY FARMING.

An example of the growth of the cruel and immo-
ral practice which has attracted the attention of the
public during the . past fortnight, has been brought
under the notice of the coroner for Central Middle-
sex. At an inquest held at Holloway on the body
of an illegitimate child, whose age at the time
of death was four months, a Mrs. Cooper, living at
Bryant's-place, Islington, informed the court
that she had obtained the child by putting a bill in
her window. The description given by this person
of the condition of the unfortunate infant was harrow-
ing in its details, and from the evidence both of the
mother and the baby-farmer there is little doubt
that death arose from starvation. The jury, with the
severity characteristic of British j ustice, censured the
mother

THE ORLEANIST PRINCES.

A measure has been laid before the French Parlia-
ment for the purpose of repealing the decree of banish-
ment against the Orleanist princes now living in
England, and of allowing them to return to their
country. The Comte de Paris, the Prince de Join-
vine, the Duc d' kumale, and the Duc de Chartres,
have addressed a letter to the Legiplativeßody asking
that the measure may be passed. "It is
not a favour that we ask : it is our
right, a right which belongs to all French-
men, and of which we alone are de-
spoiled. It is our country to which we ask to be
restored—our country which we love, which our
family has always loyally served, from which not
one of our traditions separates us, and whose name
alone ever makes our hearts beat ; for nothing can
compensate the exiled for their absent country." It
is to be hoped that the subservient Right will so far
shake off its ancient traditions, and permit this
measure of justice. These Princes are amongst the
best representatives their house has ever produced.

IRRESISTIBLE TEMPTATION.

The. intense heat, which reached its height on
Ncrediiesday, did considerable mischief; but its worst
deed was to ally itself with official bungling,
and thus succeed in killing a soldier.
The second battalion of the 9th Regiment
was ordered to change its quarters this week from
Warley to Aldershott. On Tuesday, under a broil-
ing sun, the men were made to trudge fifteen miles
in heavy marching order. When they reached Strat-
ford, in East London, it was found that only half
the requisite amount of accommodation had
been ordered, and thus part of the force spent the
night under the hedgerows. On Wednesday, they
started off again, and underwent another fifteen
miles of torture, again in heavy marching order, and
arrived at the West of London completely ex-
hausted. One man died of fatigue, and
another is said to be in a hopeless con-
dition. Of course, every allowance is to be
made for the temptation to bungling. It is a long
time since a man was killed by the heat, in fact,
it is a long time since we had any killing tempera-
ture ; and thus there is some excuse for the worthy
officials indulging in a luxury of which they have
long been deprived. But as neither the
public nor the unhappy men who are treated
with this shameful disregard of consequences, share
the fun, it might just as well be discontinued.
Seldom does hot weather set in without some " acci-
dent" of this kind.

In the sitting of the Legislative Body, in reply to M.
des Rotours, M. Louvet stated that, notwithstanding the
drought, the Government had received favourable reports
with regard to the prospects of the crops : nevertheless,
the Government would not neglect anything to facilitate
the arrivals of cereals.

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE AURORA.
A telegram from Bombay states that in consequence of
the reward offered by Government, information has been
laid which has resulted in the arrest of the captain of the
ship Aurora and of two English freight brokers, who are
sworn to have planned a scheme of shipping bad cotton
and wool, and afterwards destroying the ship, with the
view of obtaining the insurance upon the goods. The
total shipments by the Aurora were 575 bales of cotton
and 419 bales of wooL

M DE LESSEPS IN LIVERPOOL.
M. de Lesseps and Mr. D. A. Lange were entertained
at a banquet last night. In reply to the toast of his health,
which was proposed by the Mayor and drunk with great
enthusiasm, M. de Lesseps said that all that was want-
ing for the complete and lasting success of the Suez
Canal scheme was capital, and he believed that would be
forthcoming. Mr. Richard Pendlebury, senior wrangler
of Cambridge, was one of the guests at the banquet, and
M. de Lesseps alluded to him in complimentary terms.

BUMBLEDOM AT NAZARETH.

Mr. Bumble has been paying a visit to a locality
where his services were but little needed. Nazareth
House, the residence of a community of benevolent
sisters at Hammersmith, has been invaded by the
" parochial authorities," and a distress warrant has
'nen put in execution to enforce payment of some
rates. The results have been most disastrous. The
house of charity has been stripped; the sisters are
left destitute, and the poor old men and women
whom the sisters supported are deprived of the little
comforts which they have hitherto enjoyed. The chairs
and tables have disappeared from the sitting-room, so
that the poor people have to take their meals sitting on
the floor. In the ihfirmary the cLairs have been
seized; and the rooms of the sisters themselves are
empty of furniture. This act may well be described
as " insensate oppression." It is well that guardians
should have their due ; but there is no rule without
an exception, and the case of Nazareth House might
well have been made one. If by supporting these
old men and women the sisters keep them from the
workhouse, what do the guardians lose ?

THE ISLAND OF ST. THOMAS.

It is announced that the governor of the West India
island of St. Thomas has issued a proclamation plac-
ing the island again under the protection of
Denmark, in consequence of the failure of
the United States to ratify the Annexation

Treaty. This is a fitting termination to
one of the most discreditable episodes in the history
of the United States. It was at the special and pres-
sing request of the American Government, that the
Danes consented to sell their island. They took no
initiative in the matter ; the whole bargain was the
work of the other party. The treat) was drawn up,
and the Danish Government renounced its claim
to the territory. Yet the Senate has ever since
persistently neglected to ratify the bargain, and
though months have elapsed, nothing more has been
done. As President Grant himself said, the honour
of the United States is compromised by such a trans-
action.

A MEDICAL GRIEVANCE.

Doctors very often complain of the continual dis-
turbance to which they are liable at night, and it is
by no means an unusual thing to hear complaints
on the other side from persons who have
vainly sought their aid in case of dangerous
illness or accident. It sometimes happens that in
sudden emergencies at night several physicians are
applied to before one is found able and willing to
come, while again nervous or inconsiderate patients will
not scruple to arouse the wearied doctor from his hard-
earned sleep without any sufficient cause. It is pro-
posed to remedy all these several grievances by a
scheme just suggested by Dr. Amenille of the Con-
seil d'Hygiene of Paris. Those physicians who are
willing to be called up at night are to give in
their names at the police stations, where those who
want medical aid at night are to apply, and an agent
will accompany them to the doctor's house. By this
means the medical profession will avoid another
cause of complaint in the frequent loss of payment for
these midnight .visits, since the person who
applies for the doctor at the police station
will give his address, and he will afterwards be called
upon for the amount due. If for any reason he fails
to pay, it will be charged to the public expenses.
Young doctors, and those who have not much
practice by day, might be glad to take the
chance of night work, which- was certain to be
paid for. This appears to be a simple and Sensible
method of providing those who really require medi-
cal help with the certainty of qualified assistance,
while it would secure overtasked and wearied physi-
cians from the chance of continual disturbance.

EABLSWOOD ASYLUM.

Of the many institutions which help to mitigate
the sufferings of afflicted humanity Earlswood
Asylum stands out in high relief. The asylum. is
situate near Reigate, and the position of the noble
Gothic structure, standing as it does in its
own beautiful grounds, is well chosen for
the humane purpose to which it is de-
voted. The annual festival is looked forward to
With much interest by the inmates, and the amuse-
ments provided for them are enjoyed with gleesome
eagerness. Cricket, croquet, Aunt Sally, Punch and
Judy, are as welcome to the poor Cretins as an
additional sovereign to the miser's heap. Here
and there one poor demented-looking face
may be seen looking blankly at vacant
space, but the great majority, though bear-
ing the stamp of afflicted intellect, partake of
their pleasures lilt() their healthier fellows. The
Earlswood Asylum is not entirely a charitable insti-
tution. Some of the inmates are elected, and receive
care and education out of funds subscribed by the
public ; others pay a certain sum towards their main-
tenance, while others again are supported by their
relatives. The full benefits of the institution, how-
ever, can only be brought into active operation by
"the liberality of the public.

THE RIOTS AT CORK.

Fifteen persons were brought up at the police-court at
Cork to-day charged with stone-throwing, riot, assaulting
soldiers and police, and obstructing the streets after
the Riot Act was read. Most of them were sent for trial
to the Assizes; the magistrates refused to entertain
application for bail while any disturbance continued.
Others were sentenced to imprisonment of from one to
two months. Six persons, who are seriously injured, are
now in the hospital. About thirty minor cases have also
been treated at the same institution.

THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT NEWARK

INQUEST

The inquest on the bodies of the persons killed in the
railway accident at Newark was reopened this morning.
Charles Sacre, chief engineer of the Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln Railway Company was subjected to a lengthy
examination. He said he believed the waggon of which
the axle broke had been running eighteen years. The axle
was peculiarly of the best kind of wrought iron. Axles
were more likely to fail when new than after years of use.
He did not consider after eighteen years of use more than
ordinary inspection was required.
The intention of the jury to have independent scientific
evidence was overruled. The conduct of the police in
taking property from the bodies seems likely to call forth
great complaints, but the Leeds Mercury report is con-
sidered unfair and extravagant. It is thought probable
that the jury will find a verdict without taking further
evidence.

GALLANT ACTION.

In connection with the collision which occurred between
two railway trains near Newcastle a deed of true heroism
is recorded. 'When the collision took place, one of the
engines received such a shock that its connection with
the carriages behind was severed, and the engine
driver and stoker were thrown off. The engine
kept the rails, and dashed along towards Newcastle at a
high rate of speed. The driver of another engine, named
Steel, on seeing what had occurred, at once started in
pursuit. He overtook the runaway about the Manors
Station, and, at the risk of his life, springing from his
own engine on to the other, managed to stop it just a
few yards before entering the Central Station, Newcastle,
where, but ,for the success which attended Steel's
bravery, serious mischief would doubtless have been
done.
