FRENCH DEBATE.

Yesterday the debate was taken on M. Raspail's motion,
and M. 011ivier said it was not allowable to call into ques-
tion the sincerity of the soldiers' votes, and that the Go-
vernment could not permit the discussion of the vote on
the Plebiscite. M. Gambetta's motion, expressing dis-
satisfaction with the explanation of the Minister of War
with respect to the 61st Regiment, was rejected, and the
Chamber passed to the order of the day.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT ON THE GREEK

MASSACRE,

During the debate en. the Budget in the Italian Senate,
Signor Manicani questioned the Government as to the
course pursued by the Government with respect to the
Greek Massacre. He complained that England had been
more exacting than Italy. The minister in reply said that
the Italian Government had demanded two things from
Greece—the punishment of the guilty and an inquiry into
the conduct of the authorities. It was difficult to cure
evils resulting from past mismanagement, but the task
demanded of Greece by the civilised world was not
beyond a people who desired regeneration. In reply to a
question relative to the position of France and Rome the
Minister said that he believed the French policy had not
changed. The policy of the Italian Cabinet with respect
to the Council was to respect the liberty of the Church
while reserving the rights of the State and of civil society.
The Government had not joined the remonstrances
addressed by other Powers to the Roman Court.

of the advantage of free trade if admitted Universally
among nations, looks with- alarm on the exclusion by a
hostile tariff of British manufactures from foreign coun-
tries, and considers that the present commercial policy de-
mands investigation." Mr. Leach again atttempted to
gain a hearing, but was hooted down. It was then pro=
posed by the conveners of the meeting to adjourn it to the
30th instant, but the first resolution was declared to be
carried by 500 to 1. The meeting, which was the noisiest
ever held in Leicester., closed with passing a vote of confi-
dence in Mr. Paget, the Liberal candidate for South Lei-
cestershire.

IDENTIFICATION OF FENIAN ARMS.
Mrs. Coveney, on whose premises the seizure of arms
and ammunition was made on Tuesday by the Cork police
was brought up at the police-office yesterday. Mr. Morton,
a gunmaker, identified a gun found as one of those carried
off from his shop by a party of Fenians in 1868. The box,
gun, case, and flask, belonging to Captain Magnay, Royal
Engineers, and bearing his initials were produced. The
articles were stolen by supposed Fenians in 1869. The
case was adjourned.

THE LYNN ROYAL REGATTA.

Lynn royal regattawas held yesterday. The weather was '
fine and the number of spectators large. Samson beat
Jones for the Lynn championship. Lady Margaret rowed
over for 'the eights match. The Alexandra Club rowed
over for the Members' Plate. Close, brother to the amateur
champion at Cambridge, won the championship of the
Ouse. He led throughout the race and won by four
lengths,Goldie being second. De Grey's boat capsized at
the start. The Grant% Challenge (eights) Sixty Guinea
Cup was won by First Trinity (Cambridge), Lady Mar-
garet being second, and Jesus third. Outrigger fours for

morning made known the following award of Gaisford
prizes :—Prose composition, J. H. Godley, Balliol College;
Proximo accessit, G. E. Jeans, Pembroke College ; verse

At the Druids' (A. M. D.) Lodge, held at Sunderland
yesterday, a resolution was carried nearly unanimously
to support the Government bill, which proposes to
abolish the office of Registrar of Friendly Societies, and
transfer the powers to the Board of Trade. The affairs
of the other were discussed during the remainder of the
day. The delegates were entertained at a grand banquet
in the evening at Newcastle, the Mayor presiding.

TOO MUCH COTTON AND TOO LITTLE

CORN.

From the accounts of the Southern papers, in relation
to the prospect of the crops on the second week in May,
it seems that the universal complaint at some points is
that too much land has been planted in cotton and too
little in corn, so much so as to warrant the prediction that
from present appearances " cotton seed will have to take
the place of corn for man and beast next fall and winter."
This is unfortunate. Before the war it was the great mis-
take of the South to be obliged to buy from year to year
the actual necessaries of life and rely for payment thereof
upon the growing staple, and when the crash came she
was like an unprovisioned garrison, filled with brave men
with empty stomachs. The South must rely more upon
her own fields for her breadstuffs and provisions and less
upon the grain and bacon of the great West. If a lesser
breadth of cotton be planted the price of the staple will
be correspondingly increased, in consequence of a dimin-
ished supply, and in any event, provided in the meantime
plenty of corn and grain be plmted, they will have plenty
of food for man and beast without paying five-fold for the
same to the West and California. The danger of the
South in the future lies in having too much cotton and too
little corn.—New York Herald.

Mr. Alexander M'Call, superintendent of the Cen-
tral District of Police, Glasgow, has been appointed a
chief constable of that city.

The Messrs. Mansell, of the Lyceum Theatre, have
had an offer to go to America and introduce opera bouff6
into that country, founded on Lyceum experience. And
they are going?—London Figaro.
The Liverpool Mercury says a local firm (Messrs.
R. Price, H. Thompson, and J. Reynolds), engaged in the
provision trade, has suspended payment with liabilities
exceeding £lOO,OOO. It is also said that a Liverpool bank
is a creditor to the extent of £6,000.

Mr. Charles Head, the well-known book-maker,
had the misfortune to lose a number of cheques while at
Tattersall's, or leaving there, on Monday. They amount
to upwards of £6OO in the aggregate, and are in various
sums, all stopped at the respective banks. Mr. Head,
by eradvertisement, liberally offers 220 reward for the re-
covy of the cheques, which are of no use to anyone ex-
cepting the owner

MISS BATEMAN.—The brilliant engagement of this
gifted lady is announced as concluding on Saturday, June
25. Those who have and those who have not seen her
great impersonation of Mary. Warner will alike be eager
to avail themselves of the brief period yet remaining
to
enjoy an impersonation pronounced by all who have wit-
nessed it the most natural and touching picture of womanly
devotion the stage can boast.

Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul were on their way to
Montreal to fulfil an engagement at the Theatre Royal,
but on applying at the Troy (New York) station for
tickets to that city were told by the officials that
passengers were not allowed to enter Canada for the next
day or two, and that they could only issue tickets as far as
the frontier. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Paul have therefore
been compelled to relinquish their engagement, and
Manager Buckland has an empty theatre this week.
A. dock labourer, named (Gorge Bradley, 22
years of age, attempted to murder a man named Patrick
Barnacles, in one of the booths at the wakes at Tranmere
near Liverpool, yesterday. Barnacles had engaged in a
" sparring competition " with another man. Barnacles
having proved victorious, the supporters of the opposite
party broke into the tent. Bradley, who was one of them,
drew a knife and attempted to cut Barnacles' throat.
Bradley was taken into custody with his brother, Daniel
Bradley, who handed his brother the knife. There is every
prospect of Barnacles' recovery.
Another Indian delegation, composed of Spotted
Tail, Swift Bear, and other harmonious chiefs of the Sioux
tribe, are on their way. to Washington to meet the Great
Father and Red Cloud—a deadly enemy. It behoves our
Indian Commissioners at Washington to make matters
and things intelligible to those bloody-minded chiefs with-
out any delay, and to keep them away from Washington
whiskey, or else we are likely to hear " the gentle war-
whoop of the savage, the cheerful report of the pistol and
the pleasant cry of the victim," right under the shadow of
the capitol.--New York Herald.

ANNEXATION.—Tho news from San Domingo,
shews that the project of annexation finds favour with all
classes of the community, save the foreign merchants,
who desire to preserve their monopoly of the trade of the
island. If the pending negotiations break down, the
island will at once be plunted in all the horrors of civil
war. Since our own interests and those of the people of
San Domingo coincide so thoroughly, would it not be well
to settle this business at once, and so conclude a bargain
which we certainly could never have reason to repent ?
New York Times.

THE REPRESENTATION OF EAST SUFFOLK.—
Sir Alexander Shafto Adair has issued an address to the
electors of East Suffolk who supported his candidature
during the late contest. He attributed the Conservative
victory to " the employment of coercive influence," and
expresses his belief that all impediments to free voting
will, however, be removed before the next general elec-
tion, by the adoption of the Ballot into the electoral
system. Sir Shafto adds :—" Meantime I need not advise
you to watch- the Registration, knowing how carefully
and with how much patience, the district committees
have worked."

SUSPECTED MURDER NEAR BECCLES.—Much
excitement was caused in the town of Beetles on Tuesday
morning by the report that the body of a woman
had been discovered lying in a pool of blood in a lane
about one mile out of the town, leading to Ringsfield
Church. Whit-Monday was the annual fair at
Beccles, and among the country people on their
way home on Tuesday morning was a man named
Fisher and his daughter, who live in the parish of Rings-
field. When about a mile out of the town, in a
lonely lane that leads round to Ringsfield Church,
they came upon the body of a woman lying
by the side of the path. Fisher was at first under the
impression that the woman was asleep, but after a short
examination he discovered that she was dead and covered
with blood, and hastened back to Beccles, where he
informed Inspector Cole. Inspector Cole procured help,
and after a short delay, the body was conveyed to
the police-station in a cart, where it was
identified as the body of a young woman, about
25 years of age, named Elizabeth Chenery, who
lived at Ditchingham, but had visited the fair
on the previous day. There were no wounds or
blood on the body or head. A man named Jacob
Ling, a coachmaker, who was known to be acquainted
with the woman, has been apprehended by the police, and
is now in custody. It is suspected that he knows something
of the matter, as his coat and boots were bespattered with
blood. He is said to have made some statement to
the police, which will probably be given at the coroner's
inquest.
