THE PERMISSIVE BILL.

Mr. Dawson Burns, secretary to the United King-
doin Alliance, places the reply to Mr. Bright's objec-
tions to the Permissive Bill in a few words. Mr.
Bright declares that the machinery of the bill is
oNectionable and, in fact, impracticable. Mr. Burns
retorts that all permissive legislation is founded
upon the same principle. There can be no more
objection to a Permissive Liquor Act than to the other
laws the operation of which is now left to local choice.
As to the advantage of the liquor traffic being under
local instead of national control, Mr. Burns points
out that the regulation is now intrusted to local
boards of magistrates, who are supposed to represent
(but do not) the wishes and interests of the people at
large. Why not let the people have a direct voice
in a question which is now delusively supposed to he
regulated by them ? " Mr. Bright's apparent pre-
ference for Town Councils as the deciding authority
is open to many powerful objections, not one of which
applies to the suggestion of a direct popular vote :
and as it is morally certain that the forthcoming
Government measure will give local residents a
power of vetoing applications for new licenses, the full
power claimed for them by the Alliance cannot, we
believe be long refused."

DR. LIVINGSTONE.

The Bombay Gazette states that a copy of a letter from
Dr. Livingstone has been received at Bombay. It is dated
the 13th of May, 1869, but the name of the place where it
is written is not given. Dr. Livingtone complains of the
of potting faithful messengers. The Arabs of
Unyanemlee, amongst whom he was, hate the English, and
being engaged in the slave travo, they dread exposure
through his letters, and will therefore neither carry letters
for him thcuselves, :or will ',hey, if .hey can help it,
allow others to do so. Respecting the work he
has on hand, Dr. Livingstone says that ho wishes
to establish a connection between the Nile of Spoke
and Baker and the sources which he has himself
discovered to the south of the point to which those explorers
penetrated. In order to ascertain whether the outflow of
one lake, hitherto unvisited, belongs to the Nile or to the
Conge, he will have to pass through the country of a people
called Manyema, who are cannibals.

FEVER AND AGUE IN INDIA,

Fever and ague are said to prevail to such an extent
among the 21st Fusiliers, who are stationed at Kurrachoe,
that only 200 men out of a force of 800 are fit for ordinary
duty.

ROYAL MUSIC MALL, HOLBORN.

Fresh attraction seems to be the one great ob-
ject of the proprietor of this very favourite place
of public entertainment. He has now entered into
an engagement with a wonderful troupe of acrobats,
whose performance is certainly of the most eztraor-
dinarykind. Theentertainment given by the Murray
Family—a burlesque upon the celebrated sensation
drama, " After Dark," is a most amusing affair, as
we have the "points" of the drama presented in a most
humourous manner, not excepting even the great
sensation effect—the passage of the express train.
The laughter produced during the dialogue is of the
heartiest description, and altogether it is one of the
best bits of comicality we have seen for a long
time. In addition to these attractive items, the
services of Mr. E Davis, West, the celebrated stump
orator, and Miss Emma Day, have been secured,
forming at once an entertainment of the most
agreeable and pleasing description.

THE TROOPS IN THE COLONIES.

The troops are all to be withdrawn from our
colonies during the present year; so that
the unity hitherto boasted of, caused by the
same army being in every part of the British Empire,
will exist no longer. At only one place—Halifax—
will a garrison be maintained at the Imperial cost.
The Arms/ and Nary Gazelle declares, however, that
a proposal has been sent to all the colonies to allow
Imperial troops to remain in each, provided all the
contingent expenses are defrayed by the Colonial
Exchequer.

THE REDUCTIONS.

The ono important item on the reductions this
week is very important indeed. It is supplied by the
Army and Nary Gazette, which says that "it
has been determined that the Army Estimates,
when presented to the House of Commons, shall
spew a diminution of about 10,000 combatants
from the existing- establishments." How this large
number is to be taken away our contemporary does
not definitely inform us ; but it " believes " that in
the infantry the men of two companies per battalion
will be reduced, and the officers gradually absorbed ;
in the cavalry each squadron will be reduced by a
few files ; and: in the Artillery a cutting clown will
be effected either by reducing two guns from each
battery, or by the abolition of entire batteries.
The Broad Arrow says that the result of the mili-
tary changes will be the extinction of the Army
Agency system. The Paymaster-General's Depart-
ment is likely to be abolished, and the work will be
taken by the Bank of England.
The reductions at Chatham, which have been so
long prophecied, have not been made yet. The
dockyard still maintains its full number of hands. It
is said that the rumour of changes was caused by the
discharge of some temporary workmen engaged at the
expense of the colony of Australia to do certain
specific work, now finished.

MR. BRIGHT AND WORKING MEN

The Labour Representation League are, of course,
disgusted with Mr. Bright's opinions respecting work-
ing men in Parliament. They have met and passed a
resolution declaring in a good many words that,thero
ought to be labour representatives in the House of Com-
mons, and that there shall be, notwithstanding Mr.
Bright's opinion on the subject. The exclusion of
working men through class prejudice is, they say, an
iusult. Mr. Odger has again returned to the charge. In a
speech made on Friday night ho excused the vigour
of his expressions on the preceding evening on the
ground that Mr. Bright always used the same style
of language when referring to his opponents, and he
did not think he would feel at all offended. The
President of the Board of Trade has, in fact, met
with condemnation from many quarters. In answer
to his objection to class representatives it is retorted
that the House of Commons is made up of nothing
else, and that both he and Cobden during, the C orn
Law fight had class prejudices.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OT A CROATIAN BISHOP.

The Independence Beige states that Mgr. Strossmayer, the
Croatian bishop who has so greatly distinguished himself
at the Council, has nearly fallen a victim to an attempt at
assassination. On returning from the Council last Thurs-
day he was attacked by several persons, and was only
rescued by the interference of the passers-by. The male-
factors contrived to effect their escape, and the Roman
police arc very anxious to hush up the affair.

THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY.

The discussion of this subject was resumed at the
last meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works. Mr.
Fowler reviewed the various schemes that had been
proposed and disposed of by the Royal Commission.
He said Liverpool, Manchester, Halifax, Bradford,
Rochdale, Preston, and other large towns had ob-
tained a constant supply, and why should not the
metropolis ? He thought the stringent provisions
necessary would not be given to a trading company, but
that a public company might obtain them. He 'believed
a constant supply could be obtained without in-
creased burdens. Mr. Turner thought the Board
should support the conclusions of the Royal Commis-
sion, namely, to purchase the existing companies.
Mr. Elt said no city in the world was so well supplied.
as London. He thought there should be a consolida-
dation of the different water companies, and that the
Metropolitan Board should have a control over the
whole, to see that the requirements of the Legisla-
ture were carried out. The discussion was further
adjourned.

THE VOLUNTEER ENGINEER. SERVICE.
There has been a meetino• of the officers of this
branch of the Volunteer service, to support its claims
to an increase of the capitation grant. It was the
opinion of all present that the Engineer branch of
the service should act independently of any other
arm. A. resolution appointing Lieutenant-Colonel
M'Leod, Lieutenant-Colonel Comyn, and Captain
Buchan a committee to embody the views of the
meeting for submission to the Secretary of State for
War, was adopted.

THE FRENCH HIGH COURT.

Is there any reason why the High Court of France,
which alone has jurisdiction over Prince Pierre
Bonaparte, should not do justice P It is an exceptional
tribunal, and the spirit of the age is against such.
But it should bo remembered that if unlawful influ-
ence from the throne is to be feared, this court
is less liable than any ordinary machinery for the
administration ofjustice. Its jury is large, and is se-
lected by lot from the Councillors-general of two
years' standing, who are amongst the ablest men in
the country. The proceedings, says the Spectator, are
of the ordinary kind, the accused can be interrogated,
and his past life must be given as prima facie evidence
of his intention in the act, a piece of evidence which
in this instance will tell heavily against the Prince.
It is of importance to notice that M. Fonvielle,
the journalist who accompanied Victor Noir, was a
witness, not a participator. His evidence, therefore,
takes precedence in credibility over that of the Prince
himself. The Daily News correspondent, besides
others, thinks the circumstances all tell in favour of
M. Fonvielle's story that the Prince fired the shot
without provocation. And this M. Fonvielle is no
disreputable journalist, but belongs to a good family,
was born a marquis, and bears a good character.

LEGAL CHANGES.

Many important modifications in the personnel of
the legal world are reported, on more or luss authority.
First and foremost is the intention of Mr. Justice
Willes to resign his office of Judge of the Court of
Common Pleas after the' Spring Assizes. His lord-
ship will then have completed his fifteen years
of official service, arid will be entitled to a
pension. The Law Journal, which announces the
report, regrets Mr. Justice Willes's decision, regard-
ing it as premature. The Common Pleas ha scarcely
recovered from the loss of two such valuable mem-
bers as Chief Justice Erie and Sir Edward Williams.
The Law Journal thinks the retirement might be
postponed to some more favourable period.
Other metamorphoses are talked of. Tho Telegraph
bepublishes rumours that Vice-Chancellor James is to
elevated to the vacant Lord Justiceship ; that
Mr. Commissioner Bacon Will succeed to the Vicf-
Cbancellorshin.z. and that Mx. Baron Barnwell will

JUDICIAL ORGANISATION IN EGYPT.

The international commission which has assembled at
Cairo, to examine into the judicial organisation of Egypt,
has just held it fourth sitting. It has adopted (as was
announced by Central Press Telegram), the propositions of
the Austrian Commissioners to the effect that three
primary tribunals should be established at Alexandria, Cairo,
and Zagagig. The last town is the centre of native industry
and has been called the Manchester of Egypt. The Memorial
Diplomatique says that the members of these tribunals will
for the most part be chosen from the Egyptian lawyers
and paid by the Egyptian Government. The European
judges who take part in then tribnnals will be nominated
for six years. The Supreme Court will be held at Cairo,
and the Court of Appeal at Alexandria.

KENNEDY'S SONGS OF SCOTLAND.

Mr. Kennedy, the Scottish minstrel, having re-
turned from Utah, has commenced a short series of
entertainments at the Queen's Concert Room,
Hanover-square, the second of which takes place
this evening. The programme contains many of
the most celebrated songs of Scotland, and, speak-
ing from a visit to Mr. Kennedy's first entertain-
ment, we can safely predict a very pleasant evening
for those who may honour the vocalist with their
patronage.

THE FO REIGN RELATIONS OF PRUSSIA.

Count Bismarck has addressed a circular to the diplo-
matic body stating that the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs in Prussia is transformed into a Federal
Ministry under the direction of the Chancellor.
In case of any impediment he will be replaced by the
Secretary of State, Herr von 'Mile. In any case
a department of Foreign Affairs will continue to
exist for the kingdom of Prussia, but it will no longer
have to concern itself with the relations of Prussia with
the Governments of the Confederation.

THE CONVER,ION OF TILE JEWS,

Some singular and interesting Lets arc recorded from
Rome respecting the religious condition of the
Jews. Two brothers, named Lehmann, who wcr-
distinguished among the authorities of the Synagogue for
their learning and ability have becnirez and
have consecrated therns.lyes to tile work of brineine Israel

back from its darkness to the light of Erble Christianity.
A most interesting work on the present state of Judaism
has been published by them and laid before the Pope, who
has addressed a brief of approval to them. The book
goes through the different phases of Judaism, and
attests that the Synagogue and its ordinances
are falling into contempt, that it has ceased to
expect the Messiah, and that while this state of incredu-
lity reigns among the enlightened members of the Jewiili
persuasion, the lower classes are given up to the supersti-
tions of the Talmud, are splitting into sects and divi-
sions, and that, save the rite of circumcision and the
dogma of the Unity of God, the Jews retain nothing
of their primitive faith. The wall, which has
for so many centuries separated them from Christianity
seems to be crumbling away. One of the facts which
the Abba Lehmann record is sufficiently significant of
the perishing state of Judaism. Sixty-nine Jewish
physicians of Vienna have protested against the rite of
circumcision, and it is becoming almost the exception
among the higher families in Austria, where
the body is most numerous and influential. The
appcal mice of several pretenders to the charac-
ter of the Messiah in Palestine has created a great sensa-
tion in the Jewish body in the East, and &most singular•
and hopeful movement is setting in. The Abbes Lehmann
are now in Rome busily engaged in intercourse with the
Episcopate, and in the organisation of their work.

HOMER ITS DORMIT.A NS.

The logic of the Times does not improve in its old
age. It urges the case of the Permissive Bill to
combat Mr. Bright's objections to the minority
clause. The advocates of the measure for repressing
the liquor traffic hold the balance between the two
parties in several boroughs, and they use their pOwer
to compel candidates to promise their support by
Yota against the candidate who will
not uphold their scheme. " Can there be a more con-
spicuous instance of the way in which the machinery
Mr. liriAt would call the representation of majorities
is made subservient to the tyranny of a minority ?"
And can there, we ask, lie anything more foolish than
such reasoning? The titles Liberal and Conservative
are, or might to be, something more than frames
they represent priec;ples. If an advocate of the
Permissive Bill considers the repression of the
national vice the most pressing and momentous of
reforms, and there arc very many who sincerely hold
the conviction, why should he not vote for the side
which will secure him the end he desires?
What is the principle of voting for a candidate who
promises second-rate reforms, but disdains this most
momentous one ? Is " holding the balance " an
unfair or an unconstitutional power ? Is it not as
much in the hands of one party as another ? Surely
the opponents of the Permissive Bill are at liberty
to carry their suffrages over to the candidate who
will vote against it ; just as the supporters of that
measure take the reverse course.

THE. HOMICIDE. IN PARIS.

The Times publishes certain letters which go to
shew that Prince Pierre Bonaparte is subject to
ungovernable fits of fury, and that in shooting M.
Victor Noir he gave way to a passion which he has
frequently been unable to control. Mr. Cartwright
states that on one occasion the Prince hired a boat to
carry him from Corfu to the coast of Albania. On
the boat arriving at a place called Sajades, on the
coast of Albania, a Custom-house officer attempted to
get onboard to ascertain whence the craft came, when,
without any provocation, the Prince shot him
down. Another gentleman, in whose words the Times
has every reason to put implicit reliance, says :
" When I was in Brussels twenty-five years since, the
Prince was living in the Ardennes, where he got
into a poaching scuffle with some gamekeepers. One
of these was either killed or much injured, I really
forget which." On what ground did the Prince
escape punishment for these excesses ; or if not re
sponsible for his doings, why was he not shut up in
a lunatic asylum ?

MORTIFYING.

The Dundalk Harbour Commissioners nave expe-
rienced a bitter mortification. They lately expended
£20,000 in makin„,,, an embankment from the quay to
the mouth of the harbour. When it was completed
Lord Roden claimed it, and set up placards warning
trespassers. lie also put cattle on to graze. On ap-
plication to the Board of Trade, it turns out that the
Commissioners have no right to the foreshore of the
river. Their money has been spent only in im-
proving Lord Roden's property. But what must we
think of his lordship for permitting the Commis-
sioners to continue the work, if he knew that the fore-
shore was his ?

A COOK COOKING FOR HIMSELF.—George Ed-
wards, aged 21 years, a cook, was charged with
stealing flour and meat, the property of Mr. Thos.
Robertson, eating house-keeper, of No. 65, High-
street, Nl'hitechapel. The prisoner had been for
some time in the employ of the prosecutor, and he
discharged him on Saturday, previous to which he
called in I)amerell, a police-constable, 140 li, who
opened the prisoner's box, and found three cakes.
Two of them were plum cakes, the third contained
a pound of good meat. Mr. Robertson bad been
in the practice of making beef-steak puddings of
the same sort of meat. The prisoner admitted that
he made the cakes of his master's flour and meat.
The three cakes contained 61bs. of flour.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
,o 21 days' imprisonment and hard labour.

FUNERAL OF GEN. SIR DE LACY EVANS.

THIS DAY.

This day the mortal remains of this gallant and
distinguished general were consigned to their last
resting-place in Mensal-green Cemetery. A num-
ber of persons collected in front of the deceased's
residence, the impression being that the funeral
would be a military one, but such was not the case.
The cortege consisted simply of a hearse and bii
mourning coaches. Thu inscription engraved on
the coffin plate was as follows :—" General Sir de
Lacy Evans, G.C.8., D.C.L., Grand Cross of the
Order of
St. Ferdinand and Charles of Spain,
D.C.L. of Oxford, Colonel of her Majesty's 21st
Foot. Was present at Alma, Inkerman, and Wa-
terloo. Born 7th October, 1787. Died 9th Janu-
ary, 1870." The funeral arrangements were under
the direction of the Messrs. T. and W. Bauting, of
St. James's-street.

An enormous saving will be effected in plain, fancy, and
eommareial stationery, by dealing with the manufacturers,

MARRYING FOR MONEY.

About as extraordinary a case of " marrying for money"
as we remember was investigated at Leicester on Friday.
A roan named Louis Lenard, between fifty and sixty
years of age, and an engineer by trade, was summoned
to show cause why he should not contribute to the
maintenance of his wife. It appeared from the evidence
that about five or six years ago Lanard, wLo was at that
time living with his mother, made the acquaintance of a
"young" woman about 50 years of age, who had never been
married, and who was reputed to have saved a decent sum
of money. Lanard courted her for five years. On the 31st
of May, 1868, she •' took him for better or for worse." After
the performance of the ceremony the " happy couple"
left the house to go to the home which Lanard
said he had provided for her, and on the way he ventured
some remark about her money, saying he should want some
of it. He soon found out that his ideas as to the pos-
session of his bride were very disproportionate to the
wealth she actually possessed, which amounted to the sum
of £3 10s. Be thereupon left her, and returned to his
mother's house, his wife going back to her lodgings. From
that time the husband and wife never saw each other for
ten months, when an ordinary salutation passed between
them, and they next met at the police-court. Mr. Ilaxby
contended that, as the marriage was not consummated by
cohabition, his client was not liable; but in this he was
overruled, and the magistrate made an order upon Lenard
to contribute 4s. per week towards the support of the wife.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, any
tae short exchange on London is 251. 15c. per Al sterlin.:,
comparing these rates with the English Mint price oi
,n£3 Os. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
LJndon

In the early days of Western emigration an in-
telligent Irishman, known as Pat Doogan, settled on the
Kentucky side of the Ohio river, where he built a little dock
and supplied steamboats with wood. The place was called
Pat Doogau's Landing. It was soon shortened into "Pat
Doogan's," then into "Padoogans," and finally to the
euphonious name which now appears on all the maps,
Paducah.
A reliever for rudder chains has recently been
invented in the United States. The relievers are con-
structed on the principles of the cylinder and piston hav-
ing an india rubber or steel springs, on which the piston
head rests. When the instrument is shackled on to
out
a
chain and a strain is brought to bear, the piston draws
in a similar way to the bar of a spring balance. When
the sea strikes the rudder the shock is not communicated
to the wheel, and the chains are at all times relieved from
the effects of sudden jerks.
The President of the United States has awarded
a gold watch to William Oxley, master of the barque Fief-
worth, of Shields, in acknowledgment of the services ren-
dered by him on the 28th of August last wham the whaling
schooner Susan N. Smith, of Boston, United States

America, Job P. Rounseville, master, was in
l N., longitude 10 W., capsized in a hurricane and became a
total wreck. The captain's wife and their two childre,
and all others on board, except the captain and four
sean
men, were washed away and lost. The five survivors re
mained on the wreck, the bows of which alone were above
water, for eight days, without food, water, or covering.
On the sth September, the Fletivorth, bound from Penanq
for London, saw the wreck, bore down upon. her..!l of

rescued the five men from their perilous bituatvr, all
them being wellnigh exbautsted and ready to perish, and
Captain Rounsville delirious from mental . and physical
suffering. The conduct of Captain Oxley Is reported la
most generous. He gave the unfortunate seamen the best
of his clothing, stores, and medicine, and presented Cap t.;
Rounsville when be left the barque with money for hi_
immediate wants. The seamen of the shipwrecked !essel
also declare that they received the devoted attention of
the master, officers, and crew of the Pettvorttt, and that
they were indebted to him for nursing, clothing, and re-
' storation to life.

THE CONTAGIOE'S DISEASES ACTS.

Mr. Mill writes from Avignon both against the ex-
tension of the Contagious Diseases Acts and against
the Acts themselves as they stand. The economist
thinks the abuse of power by the police the necessary
consequence of any attempt to carry out
thoroughly the plan which is now in operation at
certain military stations. "If once examination is
made other than voluntary, the police must try to
prevent evasion of it, and this at once opens the door
to innocent mistakes on the part of the police, and
makes it necessary to entrust them with power over
women which no men aro fit to have. lam opposed
to the principle of the Act. I believe the medical
etiicactof it to be doubtful, and I believe it to be
impossible to carry it out without a degree of oppres-
sion which would more than overbalance any
advantages that could be gained." The moral effects
of such a measure Mr. Mill thinks must also be bad.
The interpretation which will be put upon regula-
tions of this description, even if entirely false, must
be mischievous.

THE SPANISH THRONE.

The latest statement about the Crown of Spain
appears in rather a strange place—the columns of the
.Railway Aews. That journal has received a telegram
from Paris to the effect that Marshal Prim will give
way in his opposition to the Duke of Montpensier,
who will be accepted by the majority of the Cortes.
The _Railway News thinks its authority very good ;
and it is only to be added that less improbable events
have happened.

UNIVERSITY TESTS.

Eighty-nine heads of colleges, fellows, professors,
and officers of the University of Cambridge sign a de-
claration that they are " opposed to any enactment
for relaxing religious tests in the University
and Colleges which fails to secure the religious
character and worship of those institutions
in connexion with the Church of England."
And forty-eight, who are largely represented in the
list of the eight-nine, declare that the abolition of
tests, either by permissive or general enactment, will
impair the Christian character of the University;
and, further, that they earnestly deprecate any legis-
lation by which the government or teaching: of the
University will be transferred altogether or in part
into the hands of persons who are not members of
the Established Church.

TIIE BISHOPS.

The Low Church party are raising a great cry
against Mr. Gladstone. The Premier,. they say, has
not given them one prelate Tit of the seven he has
created. Dr. Moberley (Salisbury) and Dr. Wilber-
force (Winchester), are High ; Dr. Temple (Exeter)
and Lord Arthur Hervey (Bath and Wells), Broad' •
the Rev. James Fraser (Manchester), Dr. Goodwin
(Carlisle), and Dr. Mackarness (Oxford), High. A.
correspondent of the Telegraph, "An Evangelical
Layman," mourns that there are now only three
Evangelical bishops on the Bench—Drs. Beckersteith,
Pelham, and Baring. The Record, in the same way,
protests that the " Great Evangelical Party" is not
properly represented.

addition t thi the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick bias for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

TIIE CANTERBURY SUFFRAGAN.

The Ven. EdwarJ Parry, who has been chosen as
the Archbishop of Canterbury's lieutenant, with the
title of Bishop of Dover, is a son of Parry, the
celebrated Arctic navigator. He was ordained in
1854, and after serving as chaplain and tutor
to the Durham University, he became examining
chaplain to the Bishop of London, who gave him,
in 1859, the rectory of Acton, Middlesex, worth
£1,050 a year. Shortly afterwards, on Dr. Tait be-
coming Archbishop, Mr. Parry received the arch-
deaconry of Canterbury, with a canonry in Canterbury
Cathedral. The other name submitted to Mr. Glad-
stone was that of the Rev. P. W. Sandford, ➢I.A.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE CECUMENICAL COUNCIL.

A correspondent of the Times says that, notwithstanding
rumours to the contrary, there actually exists an
address to the Pope which requests that the dogma
of Infallibility may be decreed. The movement Is being
conducted with intense secrecy. Before the scheme was
set on foot, a communication was made to the Holy Father
who declared that to act on such an address it would bo
necessary that it should contain 400 signatures. It is
believed that Archbishops Manning and Spaulding had
charge of the document, but they have observed such great
caution that it has not been seen by the opposition bishops.
Although the exact list is not known, it is thought that the
terms of the address ask fur the most complete definition
of Infallibility, and seek to invest every utterance of the
I'ope with this attribute. Some cr.,nsiderable succ.ss has
already attended this effort, and ;;s many as ZOO signatures
have been obtained. Those who conduct the business
seem very air.i9 us to settle the :lair at once.
Cardinal Antonelli Las shown himself very eager to
stop discussion in the Council, and carry through the
necessary proposition with all possible haste. The address
of the German Bishops has also increased the desire to ex-
pedie matters. Cardinal Antonelli is a strong partisan
for the dogma of Infallibility, and appreciates its political
importan-e with regard to the Italian clergy.

JURISDICTION OF JUSTICES OVER TWIN.

PIKE TRiTSTEES.

On Saturday, in the Court of Queen's Bench, the question
arose on a special case whether the Rate-in• Aid Act,
justices can lay down any principle they think
proper for getting the money to repair turnpike-roads. In
the present case the trustees of the Brighton turnpike-
road appealed against the decision of the magistrates
of Hove, near Brighton, whereby the parish of Preston
had to pay to the trustees only in respect to their mileage.
The appellants said the turnpike-road extended from
Westminster to Brighton, a distance of thirty-four miles;
and, according to this principle of levying the rates, the
parish of Preston (where the traffic was very great,
and consequently the roads would require a great.
deal of repair) would only pay a very small sum, whereas
in the country parishes (where the traffic was small and
there was a great deal of mileage) the payment
would be very large in proportion to the outlay,
upon the roads. The court decided that the magistrates
had full power to decide upon these matters ; and there-
fore their jurisdiction could not be upset.

MR. ROEBUCK ON EDUCATION.

Mr. Roebuck, late M.P. for Sheffield, distributed
the prizes of the Oxford local examination at the
Mechanics' Hall, Nottingham. In speaking on the sub-
ject of education be alluded 'to the difficulties
which had hitherto stood in the way of dealing with
this question by the legislature. One of these, he
contended, was the jealousy between the various
religious sects, which led one to fear that
the other was determined to proselytise.
He advised all such parties to compromise their
differences ; to do what they could to aid the great
objects in view. He thought the parish school
should offer such a description of teaching that the
son of the gentleman, aswell as the son of the peasant,
might profitably attend. This system, he said, was
carried out in America, and none could question that
great good resulted from it. Mr. Roebuck advocated
the adoption of such a State policy as would compul-
sorily send to school the thousands of children now
brought up in ignorance and trained to crime.

MB. VIIGILES, M.P., ON EMIGRATION.
luctheai in an address _on 4lnzland. (ta 4

Tor war.eing men,----on—vre-ane-sarty, matt- on
the present movement as a very serious thing.
Both sides of the question should be considered
thoroughly, now that so many were likely
.to have
the means of emigration soon placed in their hands.
He dwelt with great pathos on an Englishman's, love
of home, and how, when every other feelinc, had
vanished from a man's breast, he was often ready to
die in defence of the flag that shewed he belonged
to a nation. All Northern Europe, he said,
was alive with this emigration impulse, and we cer-
tainly have this advantage over all others, that in
the richest conntries we may find our way to, we
shall meet with our own people and our own language.
Then Mr. Hughes reviewed the benefits promisod
by the United -States and Australia, spewing
the high price paid for manual labour.
If he did not believe that there were signs of a
speedy improvement in England, he would advise
every Working-man to leave the country ; but he
thought that the conscience of the nation had been
roused, and that we were at the beginning of a change
that Will yet make England the best place
for the working man. Even now there aro hundreds
of clubs and associations of a character beneficial to
the working class, and fine collections of art and
science are opon to the public. The conclusions he
arrived at were, that for agricultural and rough •
workmen emigration is the right thing, but for
a skilled artisan such a course is very doubtful.. He
had better remain at home, and assist in the noble
work of raising the character of his own class, so
that now they have gained their right place in the
nation, they may prove themselves worthy of it.

FIRE IN TOTTENHA 31-00 URP-R0 AD.

A fire, attended with a considerable destruction
of property, broke out about twenty minutes past
three o'clock this morning in the large warehouses
belonging to Mr. T. Walton, a grocer and tea
dealer, carrying on business at 34, Tottenham-
court-road. It began in the front shop, and was
discovered by the policeman on duty, who at once
gave an alarm and sent for the escapes awl engines.
The inmates having been aroused, they fortunately
escaped in safety. The engines of the Metropolitan
Brigade, the fire-escapes, and the London Salvage
Corps having arrived, the 'firemen found plenty of
water flowing from the New River and Grand
Junction Companies, which was sufficient to supply
the engines, and they were forthwith set to
work ; but by that time the flames were rush-
ing out of the building, nearly half-way across
the street. The firemen and the Salvage Corps,
however, went to work in a most intrepid manner,
and after a couple of hours succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames, but not until the whole of Mr. Wal-
ton's stock in trade was destroyed, the lower part
of the premises gutted, and the other por:ions
partially consumed. The adjoining premises of Mr
Keates, bootmaker (No. 36), were also much
damaged by fire, &c. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The loss will fall upon the Union Fire-
office.

POLICE IN7ELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EMBEZZLEMENT.—John Green, confidential clerk
in the employ of Mr. Nosotti, looking-glass manu-
facturer, of 398 and 399, Oxford-ANet, was
brought before Mr. Knox, by Sergeant Davey of
the detective police, charged with embezzling
several sums of money received on account of his
employer.
One case having been entered on, Mr. Knox
asked Mr. Nosotti whether there were any other
defalcations, and Mr. Nosotti said there were.

The prisoner said he would plcad guilty.

Sergeant Davey said that on taking the prisoner
into custody he admitted that his defalcations were
about £6O, and that through being in difficulties he
was induced to act as he had done, and that he had
intended to repay the money.

Mr. Knox said it was too serious a case for him
to deal with, and that he should send the case nhe;:
completed to the sessions.
The prisoner was remanded.
