THE LOSS OF THE CARNATIC

Mr. Justice Byles was occupied yesterday with a special
jury in trying the case of Gilliland v. the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Coral any. This was an action
brought on behalf of the mother, widow, and children of
the late Mr. Gilliland, who was on board the Carnatic,
and was lost when that vessel went down in the
Red Sea. It was stated that the deceased,
Mr. J. C. Gilliland, was 37 years of age ;
and he was in the accountaiit's office in the Punjaub.
He was receiving £7OO a year, a sum which would
I robably in time have been considerably increased. He
came to England on sick leave, and he was on board the
Carnatic on his return journey when she struck on a coral
reef on the night of the 19th of September, 1869. This
action was founded on the assumption that Mr. Gilliland
lost his life in consequence of negligence, and
the plaintiff contended that the ship was run too near an
island which was visible • and it was insinuated that there
was a desire to overtake the Tigre, which belonged
to the French company, and which had sailed an hour
before. The ship foundered at the time that the passengers
were being taken off in the boats, and it was said that for
some short time before the vessel had shewn signs of
settling down, and that efforts should have sooner been
made to take the passengers off. Evidence was called
for the plaintiff.
The case occupied the whole day and had not concluded
when the court rose.

COMMEMORATION AT OXFORD.

The honorary degreee of D.C.L. was yesterday con-
ferred at Oxford on the persons whose names have several
times been published. Sir William Jenner also received
the honour. The Rev. Canon Liddon was seemingly a
great favourite with the undergraduates, who cheered him
again and again. Mr. Lowe was not so popular, as his
reception shewed, but the behaviour was good throughout.

THE ALLEGED MURDER AT WAKEFIELD.
On Thursday Johnson, the supposed murderer, was again
brought up for examination, and after three witnesses had
been called on his behalf, he was committed for trial at
the next West Riding Assizes. He again protested his
innocence, and on being removed from the court he was
rather violent.

MISADVENTURE WITH A GUN.

A serious gun accident happened at Merthyr yesterday.
Mr. Davies, landlord of the Crown Hotel, was in the
stable-yard with a boy of 14, named Thomas, when the
latter playfully pointed a capped fowling-piece at him and
pulled the trigger. The gun was loaded with powder and
shot, and Mr. Davies received the charge in his face and
chest. He was severely hurt.

THE PERMISSIVE PROHIBITORY LIQUOR

BILL.

A crowded meeting was held last night in the Victoria
Hall, Exeter, to support the adoption by Parliament of
Sir Wilfred Lawson's bill. The Bishop of Exeter presided,
and delivered an able address in favour of the principle of
the bill. Mr. Edward Vivian, J.P., of Torquay ; Pro-
fessor Newman Clifton and Dr. F. P. Lees, of Leeds ;
Mr. J. P. Uran, of Plymouth ; and Mr. Raper, of Man-
chester, attended on behalf of the Alliance, and addressed
the meeting. Resolutions and a petition calling upon
the Legislature to pass the measure were enthusiastically
adopted. The Rev. J. Jones, the Rev. S. M`Farlane,
Mr. J. Bickford, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Rae, Mr. Chambers, and
others took part in the proceedings, which were charac-
terised by great earnestness in favour of the bill.

THE AMERICANS ON CHARLES DICKENS.

The news of Charles Dickens's death produced the
greatest consternation in America. Two days after-
wards the papers appeared with full particulars of his
career, and minute criticisms of his works. These are
written with spirit and eloquence, and display a just
appreciation of the works of the great author. The
.New York Tribune says it is the glory of Charles
Dickens that he has acquired such a mastery
over the human heart that his ideal men and
women became the personal friends of the reader. Th e
Herald observes that so far as the Americans are con-
cerned, the mistakes of his first visit were fully
repaired in his second, and that many Ameri-
cane can testify to the social qualities of
the man, and the hospitalities they shared
in his house. It believes that the world-
wide fame of Dickens consists in his graphic
descriptions of low life, and in his everyday living
characters, both good and bad. The New York Times
declares that the death of a man like Charles
Dickens seems to create a blank in our exist-
ence. Those of middle life have " grown up, "
as it were, with him, and he was espe-
cially regarded as the novelist of the house-
hold.. The world is not quite the same after a
man of such genius is taken from it. Another
account declares that the news of his death touched
the hearts of the people as the death of no author
ever touched a people's heart before. The loss of
no man, Abraham Lincoln, perhaps, excepted, has
carried mourning into so many families, and been so
deservedly lamented in all ranks of 'society. The
death of such a man must be regarded as a universal
misfortune.

" THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD."

The following letter, we are glad to see, has been
addressed by the Messrs. Chapman and Hall to the Times
The closing words of the letter, those we have italicised,
are worthy of the publishers and of the great author's
reputation

" Sir,—We find that erroneous reports are in circulation
respecting `The Mystery of Edwin Drood,' the novel on
Which Mr. Dickens was at work when he died. It has
been suggested that the tale is to be finished by other
hands.

`` We hope you will allow us to state in your columns
that Mr. Dickens has left three numbers complete, in
addition to those already published, this being one-half of
the story as it was intended to be written. These num-
bers will be published, and the fragment will so remain.
" No other writer could be permitted by us to complete the
work which Mr. Dickens has left.
" Yours obediently,
" CHIPMAN and HALL.

THE EDUCATION BILL.

The protests against the Education Bill in its
amended form multiply with a rapidity that augurs
danger for Mr. Forster's measure. The executive of the
London branch of the National Education League
has passed a resolution, in which it is stated that
" the committee views with deep regret the proposals
of Mr. Gladstone to increase and extend State aid to
denominational schools, a course which would logi-
cally lead to the concurrent endowment of all reli-
gious bodies so far as relates to their school teaching,
and, consequently, to overthrow of the national
system in Ireland." The League sees, in this, a deplor-
able violation of the fundamental principle of religious
liberty, and it believes, so far from tending to pro-
mote national education, the scheme would place
fresh difficulties in the way. The committee of the
League is further of opinion that "it would be far
better to postpone legislation than to suffer the
,present bad bill of the Government to pass." The
London Nonconformist Education Committee
bases its opposition to the additional amend-
ments on the fact that "they do not make any con-
cession to the legitimate demands of Nonconformists,
but, on the contrary, aggravate the objectionable
features of the bill, inasmuch as they extend and
perpetuate the denominational system by increasing
the grants of. the Privy Council to denominational
schools to the extent of 50 per cent., and, in defiance
of repeated protests, sanction the principle of
sectarian teaching in rate-supported schools
in one of its worst forms." Seeing that all compromises
have failed, the committee has come to the opinion
"that the only possible solution of the religious
difficulty lies in the complete severance of secular
from religious teaching in the national schools, and
the restriction of the work of the State to secular
education." The Nonconformist Committee is at one
with the League in urging the postponement of legis-
lation on the subject, rather than that the present
bill should become law.

BRIBERY AND THE BALLOT.

The unseating of Mr. Robinson for bribery com-
mitted at the test ballot, previously to the last Bristol
election, so much elates the Standard that it cannot
forbear returning to the pleasing topic. It is now
clearly proven, says the Conservative journal,
that the Ballot is no safeguard against corrup-
tion. And there can be little doubt that it is a safe-
guard of only a very poor description. Nor is the
reason far to seek. It is clear that candidates will
bribe men, and trust to their honesty at the ballot;
and the experiment was successful in the case of
Mr. Robinson, at Bristol, for he bribed at
the test ballot and got a large majority.
-When once a man has sold his vote, it
does not follow that he will break faith also. As a
rule a voter will not care to incur the double guilt of
corruption and lying. Moreover, there are many
persons who fancy that they do no wrong in selling
their vote, but who would be indignant at the notion
of playing false afterwards.

THE BEAUTY OF MEMORY.

Frederick A. Goodall, a respectably attired man, was
brought before Justice Dowling on the following charge :
Mr. Robert Clark, No. 51, Wall-street, said that he was
cashier to the firm of Clark, Dodges and Co., and that
Goodall presented to him a check for forty-five dollars
drawn by S. Stansbury, payable to the order of James R.
Rushmore, on, the Long Island Bank, dated April 22,
1870. Clark paid Goodall the forty-five dollars, and de-
posited the check in the National Bank of New York,
where it was proved to be worthless,—Mr. Howe appeased.
for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty.—Justice Dow-
ling : You got the best of me the last time you were here,
Goodall.—Defendant : I don't know what you mean,
Judge.—Justice Dowling : Well, let bygones be bygones ;
but you were arrested before us, " Whiskey Jim," alias
Wilkinson, about three years ago. I was persuaded to
make you a witness, and when you got on the stand you
didn't know anything, although you told me a very glow-
ing story.—Defendant, who was evidently staggered by
the accuracy of the Judge's recollection, said he would
waive an examination. He was then formally committed,
and held to take his trial at the General Sessions.—From.

THE INQUEST,

The inquest on the bodies was opened at half-past
three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, at the Cross Keys,
Inn, before Mr. Robert Griffin, borough coroner for
Newark, but after the jury had viewed the bodies the in-
quiry was adjourned to the Town Hal. In addition to
the witnesses and a few of the general public, several gen-
tlemen connected with the Great Northern Railway Com-
pany were present, including Colonel Packe, chairman of
the company ; Mr. Charles Wilson Faber, a director ;
Mr. Henry Oakley, secretary ; and Mr. T. P. Cockshott,
superintendent of the line.
The Coroner said the accident was one of a most awful
character, and whether there had been any carelessness or
otherwise it was for himself and the jury to make out by
a full inquiry into the attendant circumstances. He hoped
it would be found that there was not any blame to be
attached to any one, but in order that the jury might
have the full evidence before them, two of the directors
had come down, one of them being the chairman of the
company, and they had told him that they wished the
fullest inquiry, and would take care that the Govern-
ment inspector attended on Thursday next, to
which date the inquest would have to be adjourned. The
inspector would examine the spot where the accident
happened, and the carriages, and would endeavour to
ascertain whether any one was to blame. It did not ap-
pear that the accident was attributable to any want of
punctualty in starting, but everything of that nature
would be investigated fully on Thursday (to-day).
Samuel Tetley, 6, Boar Lane, Leeds, said : I was
a passenger by the excursion train which left London
about 9.25 on Monday night. I was in a first-class
carriage. There were five in the compartment including
myself. The deceased Major Kershaw Hirst was one of
the passengers. He is my brother-in-law, and is a
tobacconist in Kirkgate. One of the other passengers was
Mr. Duncan. I cannot tell how the accident happened.
So far as my knowledge goes, we were all five asleep when
the accident happened. Our last stoppsge before the
accident was at Grantham.—By a Jurymen : Mr. Hirst
was on the six-foot side, and I was on the outside of the
I line. There were from 20 to 24 carriages attached to the

engine.
The bodies of Thomas and Frederick Phillpott, Hannah
Haddock, Francis Robinson, Thomas Hurst, Joseph
Watson, and Elizabeth Hallow, were identified by their
relatives, but no witnesses being present to identify the
other bodies, the inquiry was adjourned at this stage until
yesterday, in order to complete the identification, and it
was agreed that the next adjournment should be till
Friday.

hatter to his Majesty the King of the Belgians.

►" THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN 1)ROOD."

The following letter, we are glad to see, has been
addressed by the Messrs. Chapman and Hall to the Times
The closing words of the letter, those we have italicised,
are worthy of the publishers and of the great author's
reputation :
" Sir,—We find that erroneous reports are in circulation
respecting `The Mystery of Edwin Drood,' the novel on
which Mr. Dickens was at work when he died. It ha 6
been suggested that the tale is to be finished by other
hands.
" We hope you will allow us to state in your columns
that Mr. Dickens has left three numbers complete, in
addition to those already published, this being one-half of
the story as it was intended to be written. ThAse nuin-
bers will be published, and the fragment will so remain.
" No other writer could be permitted by us to complete the
work which Mr. Dickens has left.
" Yours obediently,
" CHAPDIAN and HALL.

EDUCATION IN UPPER CANADA.

In all the schools of Ontario religious instruction is pro-
vided, and taxation for school purposes is voluntary on the
part of the various municipalities. The " common schools"
are thus constituted :—The several townships are divided
into school sections, each of suitable extent for one school,
and, in each, three trustees are elected to manage school af-
fairs. In cities, towns, and villages the schools are managed
by a board of school trustees electedby the ratepayers. The
same general dispositions apply to the Catholicc separate
schools. According to the last report there were 4,496
common schools in operation, and 4,900 teachers em-
ployed, of whom 2,859 were males and 2,041 females.
Attending these schools there were 401,643 scholars, of
whom 213,019 were boys and 188,624 were girls. This
large majority of boys is fully counterbalanced by the
greater number of girls attended private schools. Is it to
be regretted that the number of children reported as
not attending schools amounts to 39,515. This is the
more noticeable, inasmuch as no less than 3,912 schools
are entirely free, while in the remaining 584 the highest
fee charged is 25 cents. per month. The Ontario School.
Law also provides for the establishment and mainten-
ance of Roman Catholic separate schools. There are
161 of these schools in operation, in charge of 210
teachers. Total number of pupils, 18,924, the average at-
tendance being 10,857.

SHOCKING DEATH.

Yesterday, Mr. Roger Lindsey, farmer, of Mahon, met
with a shocking death. It is believed he was taking
down from a nail a scythe, which fell. The blade appears
to have caught his upturned arm at the elbow, and to
have taken off the flesh to the armpit, severing the
brachial artery, from which the unfortunate man bled to
death.

CRYSTAL PALACE.-GREAT ROSE SHOW,
Fashionable Promenade, and German Gymastic Society's
Display Saturday next. This is the most interesting of
all -the flower shows held during the season. The
Universal admiration of the national flower, its numberless
,Yarieties, ranging from purest white to sable, its delicious
odour, and the immense number of specimens collected, com-
bine to render the Rose Show pre-eminent among the flower
shows, of the season. It was at the Crystal Palace that the first
Rise Show was held, and each year some new attractive feature
hia been introduced.
The Exhibition of Table Decorations held at the last Flower
Apw, although of great interest, did not exemplify some of the
ncipal features of floral decoration. Arrangements have been
--Made with some of the leading manufacturers to make upon this
'occasion a special Display of Table Furniture, which will be
• florally decorated so as to illustrate these special features.
The Display will take place in the Opera Theatre, which will be
handsomely fitted up as a dining room.
Music is an important feature on these occasions ; and, in ad-
dition to the usual performances during the day by the or-
chestral and military bands, at 4 o'clock a grand combined
Performance will take place on the Grand Handel Orchestra,
conducted by Mr. Manns.
At half-past five the German Gymnastic Society will give its
Annual Display on the floor of the great transept. Nearly 200 of
the most expert gymnasts of the Society go through their various
exercises and feats, commencing with drill and mass exercises,
and including boxing, fencing, parallel, and horizontal bar
exercises, &c, The graceful ease and modesty with which
these gentlemen gymnasts go through their numerous difficult
feats is very pleasing as compared with the less skilful perfor-
planets of professional acrobats.
The Coldstream Guards Band, under Mr. F. Godfrey, will play
during the display.
Half-crown admission tickets at the Palace, 2, Exeter-hall, and
Usual agents, this day and to-morrow only. Admission at doors,

DEPTFORD DOCKYARD,

Sir JoMN HAY asked the First Lord of the Admiralty
whether the Mr. Austin whom he had stated to have pur•
chased a portion of Deptford Dockyard for £1,500 was the
same Mr. Austin whose name appears as security for the
contractor for the extension works at Chatham dockyard ;
and, whether the purchase money has been paid, and if
he could state to what industrial purposes Deptford yard
has been applied by Mr. Austin to afford employment at
Deptford.
Mr. CErtmEns said he could not see the precise object of
the question, but he might say that Mr. Austin was the
same person who had been accepted as surety for another
person four years ago. The purchase-money had not
been paid, but the'ag,reementhad. been signed, but not the
final contract. He did not think he should be justified in
asking to what purpose the property had been turned.

THE LOSS OF THE NORMANDY.

Important evidence has been given helping to ex-
plain the collision between the Normandy and the
Mary. The crew of the Normandy fancied that the
Mary was a sailing ship, and that therefore the rate
at which she would be going would not make it neces-
sary to go much out of the proper course. This impres-
sion, it appears, was fully justified, as the Mary at
the time shewed two side-lights only, and no mast-
head light which ought to be carried by all steamers.
The fact was, her mast-head light had in an
unfortunate moment been hauled down for
the necessary purpose of being "pricked up," which
operation was performed every four hours. Before
it could be hauled up again the disastrous collision
occurred. This suggests the desirabilty of some
means being found of avoiding the danger of remov-
ing a masthead light so frequently.

A CHANCE FOR DRAMATIC AUTHORS.

There are, it is said, only about half-a-dozen
dramatic authors on whom the lessees of theatres
depend for their supply of dramas. The consequence
is the dramas oared are bad, many of them, and
are often refused, as their production would probably
result in a great loss of money. Mr. E. J. Young,
manager of the Queen's Theatre, writing to the Daily
News, says he is attempting to resuscitate the taste for
sound historical plays. He further declares that
any drama suited to the company, in which the plot
is clear and simple, the dialogue terse, the interest
sustained, and the situations effective, would, if for-
warded to him, be bought and paid for. At sums
varying from ThiCi to 2300 he would be ready to
purchase any number.

DIVISIONS.

A scanty band of only seventeen members sup-
ported Colonel Stuart Knox and Mr. Moore in their
opposition to leave being given to bring in a bill to
disfranchise the boroughs of Bridgwater and
Boverley. It was a heterogeneous group. Colonel
Knox and Mr. Moore are not usually sound acting
together. Mr. Mathews and Mr. Laslett, too, are
Liberals. The remainder were Conservatives. Mr.
Newdegate again secured the support of many
Liberals in resisting the motion to adjourn the
House, whilst the Conventual and Monastic Estab-
lishments Committee of Inquiry was under conside-
ration. Mr. Anderson, Sir- Robert Anstruther, Mr.
Aytoun, Mr. Candlish, Mr. Campbell, Mr. M'Arthur,
Mr. Robinson, the new member for Bristol, and
several others joined him, and he won by 110 to M.

THE GUARDS IN LONDON.

Three privates in the Brigade of Guards were lately
charged in the London police courts, on the same
day. with very bad offences. The Times commented
on 'the subject in a leader, and now Colonel
Hardinge, commanding the Coldstreams, writes to
that paper, and, without extenuating the acts
mentioned, asserts the hardship of a whole
regiment being condemned on account of individual.
acts of a scandalous kind committed by its members.
He says that the present system of enlistment obliges
commanding officers to take into the rank of a corps
d'elite men of unknown antecedents, and occasionally
they consequently get some great blackguards.
The conviction and sentence of a soldier in a civil
court does not give commanding officers power to
rid themselves of the man when he comes out of
prison. Colonel Harding thinks that commanding
officers should have greater power to dismiss from
the service men of notoriously bad character.
In conclusion, he says that the proportion
of men convicted by civil power in his
regiment is very small, and can by no means be con-
sidered excessive. "Centurion " writes to the same
paper expressing the same opinion, and hoping that
if Mr. Cardwell is not " manoeuvred" out of the
War Office, we shall soon see many reforms that are
now much needed.
London, England, 1870-04-11

TIM SERVICES AND TUE PAPERS.

The Articles of IVar and Queen's Regulations
have long forbidden officers or men to write to
Os newspapers on any subject connected with
the army or navy. The prohibition has
peon protested against, and often, strangely
enough, in the papers by the officers them-
selves, and it has also found supporters who
have urged reasons for its maintenance. Latterly
many persons, chiefly of the lower ranks
of the services, have set forth their grievances
in the army and navy journals under
various noms-de-plume, and occasionally with
their own names attached. A few nights since Mr.
Shaw asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if his
attention had been drawn to a letter written to a
newspaper by a Commander in the Navy, comment-
ing on a debate in the House of Commons, and whe-
ther he intended to take any notice of theproceeding.
Ur. Childers said very fairly that, as ih: regulation
had been often violated by officers of much higher
rank than the young officer alluded to, he was not
going to select the latter for public censure. How-
ever, he went on to say that it was his pur-
pose to put a stop to such violations of
regulations. The Broad Arrow in a manner
defies Mr. Childers to do this. He may flourish in
the faces of meek blue jackets the twelfth chapter of
the " Articles and Regulations ;" but he is cautioned
that such a regulation as this is a fossil one, and as
far as it lies in the power of the paper in question,
that fossil shall be pointed at as a curiosity as long as
it exists.
London, England, 1870-04-11

FACTORIES.

Mr• BAINES asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, whether he had received a memorial from
the Associated Chambers of Commerce, requesting him to
collect and print, for the information of Parliament and
the country, returns of factories and workshops, with the
numbers and classes of workmen and children employed,
the principal machines, &c., more full and complete than
those heretofore made to this house, and to cause them to
be printed yearly instead of occasionally as heretofore,
And whether it was his intention to comply with the
request of the memorialists.
Mr. BRUCE said he had received the memorial, and in-
tended to comply with its request. The information that
would be obtained would be printed.
FREE LIBRARIES.

Mr. BAINES asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department when the return of free libraries established
under Act of Parliament, for which an address was vote)
by this House during the last Session, may be expected to
be printed and circulated among the members.
Mr. BRUCE said the paper was laid on the table last
Thursday, and would be distributed in the usual course.
