THE EDMUNDS' SCANDAL.

Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE called attention to this subject,
and asked whether it were true that a writ had been
issued for the apprehension of Mr. Edmunds, who was
thus deprived of the opportunity of bringing his case
before a j ury.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that the
case was very simple. The question at issue between Mr
Edmunds and the Government was as to whether he was
in default in reference to a large sum of money, The matter
was referred to arbitration, and it was found that Mr.
Edmund was indebted to the Government in the sum of
£7,142 13s. Under these circumstances judgment was
signed on the 11th of April, and an execution had been
issued sgainst him under the advice of the law officers of
the Crown.

Mr. HORSMAN expressed his belief that although Mr.
Edmunds conduct had been foolish and stupid, he had
not committed intentional fraud.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that there was no ques-
tion whatever that Mr. Edmunds was open to the very
gravest censure.
Sir JAMES ELPHINSTONE said he would move on a
future day that a commission be appointed to inquire into
the case.

THE. STAFFORDSHIRE TRAGEDY.

This shocking murder was yesterday the subject of magis-
terial investigation at Brownedge, the village in which' it
occurred. Mr. Meigh held a special court for the exa-
mination of the mother Elizabeth-Goodwin. The evidence
given at the inquest was repeated, and the prisoner was
committed for trial. Before the close of the inquiry she
had partly recovered from her insane state, and was
evidently much affected by her parting from her hus-
band, who was not allowed to accompany her to Stafford
where she was directly transferred from the gaol to the
asylum.

GREAT STRIKE OF FACTORY WORKERS
IN FIFESHIRE.

About ten or twelve days ago the women employed in
the power-loom factories of Messrs. Normand and Son,
Dysart, struck work in consequence of an intended reduc-
tion in wages. The number of women employed in the
factories was about 600, nearly 100 of whom have since
obtained employment elsewhere. To-day an enthu-
siastic open-air meeting of those still unemployed
was held, at which one of their own
number a Miss Drummond delivered an address, in which
she urged upon her fellow workers to continue the strike,
unless a distinct understanding was come to that the
wages would not be reduced. The meeting expressed
their hearty concurrence with the sentiment of Miss
Drummond, who was repeatedly and loudly cheered. The
strike is causing great excitement in the district.

MENT BILL.

At one o'clock the house went into committee on this
Diu, which was further considered as amended.
Some other bills were advanced a stage.
THAMES NAVIGATION BILL.

Mr. EASTWICK moved that it be an instruction to the

Select Committee on the Thames Navigation Bill that they
have power to inquire into the present position and past
proceedings of the Metropolis Sewage Company, and what
use had been made of the powers conferred upon them,
and into the future disposal of the sewage of London. He
thought it was very important that the committee should
not overlook the sewage. The utilisation of sewage was
of national importance, and therefore, seeing that the
company had failed in their object, an inquiry on the sub-
ject was necessary.
Mr. AYRTON said it would be against the standing
orders of the House to enlarge the duties of a select com-
mittee as was proposed. The committee could amongst
themselves agree to undertake the inquiry which the hon.
member wished to have instituted. The company re-
ferred to were under serious obligations, and the proposal
af. the hon. gentleman, if carried out, might then assist
them-in relieving themselves of their responsibilities.
Notwithstanding this explanation, Mr. Eastwick
pressed his motion to a division..

FREE RUSSIA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE " FUN."

6, St. James's-torrace, Regent's-park, N.W.,
• May 19, 1870.

Sin,- May 1 ask your leave to lay the following facts
before the public. Mr. Sutherland Edward:, who has
himself written a book on Russia, tells the world that my
work, called "Free Russia," contains many errors. He cites
from "Free Russia" certan things; he declares that the
things so cited are not true; and on the strength of these
citations he warns his re7ders that my facts are not to be
trusted.

Now, I e-o not imagine that "Free Russia" is free from
error; what work ever was?. nut I reply to Mr. Edwards
that the passages he cites are not in my book.
Iu this cause of truth I put Mr. Edwards to the proof.
1. He makes me say . The Convent of Solovetsk is a
Lavra." My answer is, I never said so; and I demand his
proof.
2. He makes= say "That there are four great religious
and monastic establishments iu Russia rejoicing in the high
designation of Lavra." My answer is, I have never said
so ; and I demand his proof. - .

3. lie makes me say that "serfdom disappeared from
Western Europe with the dark ages." My answer is, 1 have
hover said so, and 1 demand his proof.
4. He makes me say that "Russia is the only country
where the serf was ever looked-upon as owner of the land
he tilled." My answer is, I have 'never said so, and I de-
mand his proof.

5. He make me say that "Russia is the only country
where the serf has been liberated with his land." My an-
swer is, I have never said, so, and 1 demand his proof.
These are not opinions on which Wen may differ. They
ate not facts on which authorities may differ. They are
questions of Truth and Falsehood.
It is for the man who makes the false citations a question
of honour, and as he answers he will stand or fall in the
estimation of all honourable men.

Out to Grass.

As in most other cases, there are two opinions
upon the treatment of horseflesh. Mr. Corteledge's
remarks on the inutility of turning the noble animal
out to grass has brought forth a rejoinder
from Mr. F. Bullock Webster, of Bin-
field Court, Berkshire. That gentleman
says he has kept horses all his life, and not being a
rich man has always found it convenient to summer
his . hunters at grass, and to rest and freshen up
his hacks in the same manner, giving for the last
six weeks, while in the field, a feed of
split beans daily. By this means he has invariably
found that within a few weeks after getting
their coats off, the animals are quite fit to work, and
wonderfully freshened and improved by the
summer's run. The actual result _ is, he

says, that the flesh very soon becomes hard and
well-conditioned, with no
.perceptible injury from
the flies, hot sun, or other imaginary dangers sug-
gested. He is fully persuaded that horses
are much more liable to be injured in their
wind when confined in a shed or box without
exercise, and "liberally fed on oats Indian
corn, man, lino:, ana-cliany am"
pleasure, treading in the late and early dews, and
feeding on the succulent grasses provided by nature
—plenty of shade and water of course being a:sine
qud non under the system he advocates. '
Infallibility an Old Doctrine.

A Frenchman has found a manuscript in the Impe-
rial Library which goes to prove that Infallibility
was as unpalatable a dogma in the reign of Louis
XIV. as it is novy.-,, From this manuscript it appears
that in 1665 thel'apal Nuncio had an audience of
"Le Grand Monarque," and informed him-that the
Infallibility of the Pope was taught by the Italian
doctors. The King very plainly told the
Nuncio that he should only like to catch
the French doctors imitating the example of
their Italian brethren. If he had any of his subjects
who taught this Infallibility he would chastise them
in such style that others would have no desire to
teach it afterwards, and that neither the Nuncio nor
Pope should prevent him The King, while making
this reply, had his arm raised and hi fist closed.
"The Nuncio departed very much disconcerted."
Unfortunately, Sovereigns do not express their
ntnetions quite so plainly now-a-days.

THE REPRESENTATION OF NORWICH.

At a meeting of the Norwich Parliamentary and Muni-
cipal Association, held last night, for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of the representation of the city, it
was unanimously resolved that at the next election Mr.
Tilled, the defeated candidate at the election, should
be nominated as member. Should Sir William Russell
resign it is expected Mr. 'Warner, late mem-
ber, will be nominated as Mr. Tillett's colleague.
In two cases it was known that this had been done with
the consent of the voters' wives, .and these charges were
dismissed, but in the third case Mr. Bruce, the stipen-
diary magistrate, convicted the defendant, and sentenced
him to six weeks' without hard labour. A charge against
Joseph Glover, of having forged the names of voters'
papers, which he was entrusted to deliver but kept back,
was not made out to the satisfaction of the magistrate.
Other cases, of a character more or less similar, were
adjourned.

THE REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH LEICES-

TERSHIRE.

Mr. William Unwin Heygate, Conservative, and Mr.
Thomas Tertius Pratt, Liberal, candidates for the repre-
sentation of South Leicestershire, rendered vacant by the
elevation of Viscount Curzon to the peerage through the
death of Earl Howe, issued their address last night. Mr.
Heygate says he adheres to those Conservative principles
by which he was actuated during the period of his con-
nection. with the borough of Leicester as one of its repre-
sentatives. He comes forward in compliance with the
kind and flattering solicitations of many friends, and if
elected will endeavour, by zealous and faithful dis-
charge of his duties, to merit the approval of the electors.
Mr. Paget, in his address, says his opinions are the same
as expressed during former contests for the division, and
ratified on almost every point by his votes when its re-
presentative. His attachment to the party of progress
now honestly and powerfully represented by the present
Administration is as firm as ever ; and he will, if elected,
give steady support to Mr. Gladstone's Government.

THE MONEY MARKET

AND

(Tot :01 1.• 11 Cl AL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocx.

Business in the Stock Exchange has been on a ver
moderate scale, nevertheless a fair amount of &mess has
been apparent in the market for Foreign Bond and
railway shares. Consols, however, have been flat, and i per
per cent. easier, at 941 to 94} for delive y, and 94} to 941 for
the June account. Reduced and New Three per Cents.
921, to 92*; Exchequer Bills, par to 58 prem. ;
Bank Stock has marked 233 to 235 ; India
Five per Cents., 1.131 to 114} ; and India Bonds, 20s to 25s
prem.

In Colonial Government Securities very few transactions
have taken place, and no important movenient has been

toticed.

Firmness has been the feature of the market for Foreign
bonds, notwithstanding that business has been limited,
Spanish show an improvement of about per cant. Turkish
maintain the late advance, and Russian have continued
steady, for Milian Scrip there has been a good demand at a
further enhancement, but Peruvian 5 per Cents. have been
rather weaker.

The Market for English Railway Stocks has been without
feature. Metropolitan has been dealt in at an advance of s.
and Great Northern (A) has been firm.
Notwithstanding the high rates that have been current in

the open market as compared with the official minimum, the
Bank return shows a diminution of no less than £563,989 in
the discounts, while the stock of bullion has further in-
creased. Probably the maximum of public deposits has now
been reached, and a gradual diminution may now be
looked for under this head. Meantime the quotation
for short paper in Lombard-street is maintained at 2i to 3
per cent., six mouths' bills being charged 3 to 31 per cont.

The return of the Bank of France shows an increase i
the bullion of £520,000.
It is stated that the prosrectus of the now Spanish Loan
will be issued early next week.
It is stated that arrangements have been arrived at for the
introduction into Paris,London,and elsewhere, of a Peruvian
railway loan of £12,000,000 nominal, but upon conditions
which will involve only a slow withdrawal of capital.
The shares of the Bank of .Roumania are quoted at 1 to
prom.; and of the new Rosario Mining Company at 1-ill to
prem.

Political Ingratitude.

There is no Act of Parliament, it is said in Eng-
land,
,to compel a man to be generous ;
and, judging by the way in which the
American Senate have treated the widow of
Abraham Lincoln, there is no Act of Parliament
in that country to compel a Government to be grate-
ful. In the one place as in the other, however,
a paltry excuse bears the weight -of its
own degradation. Although this body, who look
so keenly after the public loaves and fishes, have re-
fused to sanction the bill of the House of Represen-
tatives by which it was sought to grant a
pension of three thousand dollars to the widow of
their late President, some polite inquisitors, it is said
into her private affairs, have discovered that she is
in no danger of starvation, since she possesses some-
thing like 60,000 dollars worth of realised property.
But the argument on which the refusal is based is
alike pitiless and illogical. The report of the
pensions committee, in effect, points out
that there is no precedent for the grant.
The queStion may fairly be asked, how many such
foul and cold-blooded murders as that of Abraham
Lincoln do the American Senate require
before a precedent is established ? The
nation that has been independent tor a hun-
dred years may be proud of its magnitude and
its progress, but one essential element of true great-
ness is absent when the legal structure is so hard
that a feeling of gratitude towards a chief of the
State, who died while restoring peace to his country,
can find no corner in it.

Medical Education.

When distributing the prizes to the medical
students at the University College on Wednesday,
Professor Huxley was met with a storm of hisses
when he spoke of " every fair maiden
in these days being a fully qualified practitioner."
The Professor, how,ever,caine prepared to make
a speech on the blemishes in•the present system of
medical education, and although his observations
with reference to lady students were not listened to,
serious attention was paid to the other views
and arguments of the speaker. Dr. Huxley
most complained of the quality of phy-
siology taught in the London schools. He found
that while anatomy was properly taught as a science,
physiology was taught as if it were a mere matter of
books and hearsay. To remedy this evil he would
suggest the centralization of the teaching of the theo,
retical branches of the profession (which he would
cut down to a considerable extent) in not more than
three central institutions. He would, moreover, have
the elements of physical science taught in the
primary schools—physics, chemistry, botany, and
the like. Comparative anatomy ought to be
absolutely abolished. He would also abolish
Materia Medics. He could not Tinder-
stand why gentlemen who had to practice medicine
should be obliged to learn all about drugs, and where
they came from ; they might just as well be required
to learn all about cutlery because they used knives.
If his views were adopted there would be left for the
four years' study the following nine subjects:—
Physics applied to Physiology, Chemistry applied to
Physiology, Physiology, Anatomy, Surgery, Medi-
cine, Obstetrics, Hygienet and Medical Jurispru-
dence, which would be quite enough for one man's
pursuit.
The Soldier as a Married Man.

It is a good sign for the military service that the
legislation in its behalf is no longer seemingly based
upon the assumption that the soldier should be
treated as a mere machine. By degrees his proper
social status is becoming recognised, and much has
been done to render his married life as smooth
as the difficulties of the circumstances permit. But
there was a great injustice still unprovided for,
in the case of the unhappy women whose husbands
either married them without leave or enlisted after
marriage, falsely calling themselv,s single men. The
hearts of many poor creatures will be gladdened
to know that this injustice has at length
met the attention of the Legislature. Amongst
the alterations in this year's Mutiny Act is
one which provides that the Secretary of War may
withhold a portion not exceeding 3d. for each day
of the daily pay of each soldier, if it shall appear to
his satisfaction that such soldier has de-
serted his wife, or left her in destitute
circumstances without reasonable cause. The
Secretary of State is further empowered to allot
the pay thus withheld. to the maintenance of the wife
in such manner as he may think fit.

ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF MONTPENSIER

IN MADRID,

The Times' special correspondent in Madrid telegraphs
the intelligence that the Duke of Montpensier and
his eldest son arrived in Madrid unexpectedly
on the 19th May. The funds fell one per cent.
in consequence some say of this arrival, others, in conse-
quence of Espartero's refusal to accept the Crown, which
has induced Prim to propose the grant of full regal
unctions to the Regent, thus prolonging the interrgnum.

FRANCE.

FRANCE, May 19, Evening,

At 1 o'clock on Saturday the Emperor will receive the
result of the Plebiscite from M. Schneider in the Salle

The Central Committee of the Plebiscite has resolved
to preserve its organisation for the defence of parliamen-
tary and dynastic interests.
The new Press Law was discussed to-day in the Corps
Legislatif.
M. Pelletan attacked the Government, saying an orgie
of Press prosecntions was going on.
M. 011ivier said the orgie was in the language of the
papers prosecuted.

The Lectionary.

A committee of both Houses of the Convocation
of York has adopted a report on the Lectionary, of
which the following is the substance :—They state
that much attention has been paid to the new Lec-
tionary during the present year, and steps
have been taken to give it the force
of law. In this position of affairs,
therefore, they think minute criticism would be un-
desirable, but they desire to give a general approval
to the conclusions arrived at by the Ritual Com-
mission. If further time should be allowed,
the committee of the York Convocation would
suggest some alterations in matters of detail,
which they do not consider of sufficient moment to

recommend Convocation to withhold its consent. The
labours of the Ritual Commission have extended over
several 'years, and it is a question whether any
alteration should be made in the Prayer-book
this year, as fresh changes will be shortly proposed.
A general desi•e for a change exists, as the Ritual
Commission. have stated in. their report. and the
York committee observes with satisfaction that
many of the suggestions now made coincide with
those recommended by the Convocation of York
in 1865.

Local Taxation.

The " extra-parliamentary utterance " of such a
statistical authority as Professor Thorold Rogers on
the incidence oflocal taxation, can hardly fail to . help
forward that ventilation of the matter which the Go-
vernment as well as the taxpayer have equally in view.
In a paper read before the Statistical Society on the
subject, the Professor controverted the conclusion of
Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Dudley Baxter, and others,
that the greater part of, the rates fall
on the owner. He contended that taxes
levied on rents and paid by the landowner
cannot be transferred to the occupier, but
that taxes on occupiers, when not part of the cost of
carrying out any industry, remain a burden
on the occupier. As regards houses, he
argued that the rates are no burden on
the landlord, but are on industry, and that the
owner is enabled by the increasing competition, and.
through his power of inflicting loss by determining
the occupation, to enforce the payment. of
'increased rates by the occupier. If a uniform
rate of local taxation, he said, were in-
stituted over the country with the same
amount in the pound on all occupiers, local taxation
of houses would. be found to conform in in all par-
ticulars of incidence to imperial taxation. As re-
gards agricultural land, he desired the transference of
the rates from the occupier to the owner.

FUNERAL OF EARL HOWE.

The funeral of Earl Howe took place yesterday in the
churchyard of the quiet village of Twycrose, a short die.
tance from Gopsall Hall, where a new vault had been
built by the express desire of the late earl for the recep-
tion of the remains of himself and his countess. About
3,000 persons were present, including nearly 100 of the
tenantry of the estate. The Rev. A. Bloxam, the rector,
and his lordship's chaplain, the Rev. C. Hall, officiated.
The mourners were Viscount Curzon, the new peer, the
Countess Howe, Major-General Curzon, Captain the Hon.
H. Curzon, Hon. W. Curzon, Hon. Leicester Curzon Smyth,
Hon. M. Curzon, Lord Scarsdale, Marquis of Worcester,
Lord A. Somerset, Lord Sligo, Duke of Beaufort, Lord
Westmoreland, Marquis and Marchioness of Hamilton,Sir
R. Bromley, Bart., Colonel Baring, Colonel Kingscott,
Mr. H. G. Sturt, and a large number of the household.
The proceedings were of an entirely unostentatious cha-
racter.

MARYLEBONE STREET.—(Tits DAY.)

Michael Davitt, who gave his address, 35, Milman street,
London, of no occupation, and John Wilson, gun and pistol
manufacturer, Harper's-buildings, Wearman-street, Bir-
mingham, were brought up on remand from the House of
Detention, Devitt charges with loitering about the Great
Western Railway for some unlawful purpose, and Wilson
with having fifty revolvers in his possession.
Mr Poland said be appeared to prosecute in this case,
but owiug to his having only just been instructed in the
matter, he should have to ask for a remand. He had to ask
for this, as Inspector Clarke, who had the charge in hand,
was in the country making inquiries. A telegram had been
received from him stating that he had gathered very impor-
tant information, and that he would not be able to arrive in
town to give evidence at present.
Mr. D'Eyncourt said the evidence as to the connection of
the prisoners was very slight.
Mr. Poland said, according to his instructions, he should
be able to prove that conclusively. He would be able to
show that the prisoner was concerned in the raid upon
Chester Castle in 1867.

After some discussion the prisoners were remanded for a
week. They were shortly afterwards removed in the Van.

THE CHELSEA MURDER.

Miller was brought up for examination this afternoon at
the Westminster Police-court. The case was proreeding;
we shall give a full report in our late edition.

tinguishing the Registrar of Friendly Societies will, it is
said, be allowed to drop for the present.
The Bristol petitioners have complied with the
order of Mr. Baron Bramwell by furnishing the agents of

A. correspondent states that the Duke of New-
castle's state carriage, built at a cost of six hundred
guineas, has become the property of a Glasgow firm of
carriage hirers.
The President of the Poor-law Poard has decided
to encourage the introduction into England of the system
of boarding out pauper children, which has been adopted
in Scotland.

A. Parliamentary paper published yesterday
shews that in England there are 2,298 brewers, and
69,369 licensed victuallers, of whom 92 and 5,950 are in
London.

The Right Hon. John Bright will, it is said, visit
Mr. Bass, M.P., at Tulchan Lodge, at the end of June or
beginning of July next.

The Prince and the Princess Henry of Holland
three days back visited the persons wounded by the catas-
trophe at Dommeldange, and who are in a kind of tempo-
rary hospital arranged for their service.

The Dublin Standard announces that the Commis-
sioners under the Irish Church Act have officially inti-
mated that the annuities of Presbyterian ministers will
be paid quarterly. The first payment will be made on
the Ist of July, and the ministers will have the option of
commuting their incomes before 1873.

GREENWICH PENSIONERS.

Mr. HANBURY-TRACEY asked the First Lord of the
Admiralty if he would take into consideration the pro-
priety of creating a few temporary pensions out of the
Greenwich Hospital Estates, for the benefit of the
distinguished Flag Officers who were retired by order in
council in 1866, without any compensation whatever, and
had now but little prospect of receiving the ordinary
Greenwich Hospital Pension.
Mr. CHILDERS said he had considered the advisability
of extending the arrangements with respect to the pen-
sions payable out of the Hospital Fund ; but he was afraid
there would be great objections to it. Nine out of the ten
pensions to retired flag officers had been given, but he
would see whether it was not possible to give the pension
to an officer entitled to receive it.
GLEBE HOUSES.

Mr. STACPOOLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
if he could state when the promised bill with reference to
glebe houses (Ireland) would be introduced.
'Mr. FOBTESCUE replied that it would depend entirely
upon the state of businese when he introduced the bill.

Whether he had any objection to lay upon the table of the
fHouse a statement disclosing- the amount paid to the

'Peet of Rupert's Land, and when such payments ceased
