The Chelsea Tragedy.

Mr. Stanesbury, the neighbour of the unfortunate
Mr. Huelin, residing at 14, Paulton-square, in a long
letter to the Daily Telegraph, endeavours to refute
the rumours that have gone abroad relative to
the inaction shewn by the police and the neighbour-
hood in connection with the recent murders. In the
first place he denies that it was " two full days"
before suspicion was aroused. He says that going
home at ten o'clock on Monday night, and hearing
that Mr. Huelin's dog bad whined for admittance
during the day, he entered the house by the back part,
with two policemen. They went into every room
and opened every cupboard and cellar. The house ap-
peared simply as if it were undergoing spring cleaning.
The police thought Mr. Huelin must have taken this
opportunity of leaving town, and that the servant
had gone for a holiday. On Tuesday he saw the dog
on the step still, and took it in and fed it. Feeling
more concerned, Mr. Stanesbury says he went to find
111 r. Huelin's friend Mr. Carter. Mrs. Carter thought
ilr. Huelin and the servant must have gone to Lin-
colnshire. The girl in charge told Mr. Carter when
he went to the house that Mr. Huelin's nephew had
arrived, which reassured Mr. Carter and himself.
He adds that the large box in which the body of the
housekeeper was put was seen by himself and the
porter, but that it was such a box as any respectable
servant might have for her clothes. He contends
that these facts upset the charges of inaction and
stolid indifference made either against the police or
the neighbours.
The Men in Women's Clothes.

The case against Messrs. Boulton and Park is
being protractd in a very extraordinary manner,
and public comment upon the conduct of the autho-
rities who have charge of it is beginning to
have a tendency adverse to their discrimination and
wisdom. It is not just to the public to withhold_ the
graver aspect of the affair, neither is it just to the
young defendants to make insinuations of matters
which it may never be possible to prove. It is a strange
circumstance that none of the relatives of the
gebtie- mdir" have come forward to account for.
their strange conduct. The letters published, beyond
revealing grave heartlessness on the part of some one
named " John" towards " a charmingly dressed beau-
tiful fool, with £30,000 a year," do not seem to
be anything more than common-place effusions.
Of course in this opinion allusion is only
made with respect to the published letters. What
the contents of the "fourth " document were must
remain unknown till the reticence, perhaps discre-
tionary, of the prosocution is allowed no longer to
exist. The mode of procedure is certainly causing
grave discnssion and for the benefit of all parties con-
cerned we trust no more reserve will be exhibited, un-
less a fair reason for taking such a course is given
to that large section of the public interested in the
fate of the accused.

LIFE iT SEA.

Mr. Plimsoll's Bill, which is just published, contains
the following provision with regard to load lines, their
position to be determined by the builder, and the
surveyor's of the Board of Trade and of Lloyds :
—" The load line shall be marked on the ship—
L By cutting in a conspicuous position on the combing
of the main hatchway, in legible figures or letters at least
one inch long, the maximum proper immersion amidships,
the maximum proper immersion by the head, and the
maximum proper immersion by the stern. 2. By painting
on the outside of the hull, either along the whole length
of the load line on each side or along.. the load
line on each side for a length of not less than four
feet at the bows, a length of not less than four feet
at the stern, and a length of not less than four feet
amidships, a band of white or yellow not less than six-
inches broad, bordered, with black for a width on each
side of not less than three inches, or a band of black not
less than six inches broad bordered with white or yellow
for a width on each side of not less than three inches, in
such manner that the centre of such band shall through
out every part of its length correspond with the load
line.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
THE ICED RIVER EXPEDITION.

The Times is not much alarmed at the unfavourable
predictions about the Red River Expedition, hut has
great faith in the resources of a British Expedition, and
though the route is undoubtedly difficult, the difficulties
are not unknown. For some time past the Canadian
Government has been directing surveys of the ground for
purposes of reclamation and colonisation ; distances,
heights, and levels have been measured, and various
schemes have been projected for opening up the territory
to migrations from the East. A favourable season has
been selected for the enterprise, and if it does not turn
out to be a mere week's journey, as the colonial engineers
expect, we do not think it will take five weeks, as
the Americans calculate, though they are good
enough to allow that we shall rerch Fort Garry at last.
At one point of the route the description of the country,
not only in colonial but American reports, becomes most
encouraging. Immense prairies of rich alluvial loam
drained by vast navigable rivers offer a settlement to
millions, and are, we read, obviously capable of sustain-
ing "as dense an agricultural population as any area of
equal extent on the face of the globe." Yet, on the
other hand, the very enterprise before us shews how
much remains to be done before such lands can be made
practically available for the purposes of emigration. At
present they cannot even be reached by the ordinary
emigrant, and to make them accessible must be a work of
time. It is in progress of this kind that the Red River
Expedition may be expected to bear its fruits. The
work was necessary in itself, but it will be of great
advantage to the Dominion to get such a knowledge
of its own provinces as this enterprise must bring. When
we have got to the Red River, and settled matters there,
and got back again, we shall still have been only half-way
across our continent. When the Americans drove their
railroad to Utah from the east another railroad met
them from the west, and their Continent was spanned;
but a safe lodgment on Lake Winnipeg would leave us
with as much more to do beyond. Between the Red River
Settlement and British Columbia there would still inter-
vene an enormous tract of country unknown and unre-
claimed, and the day may come when an Expedition
from Lake Winnipeg to the sources of the Saskatchewan
may excite as much attention as the present march to
Lake Winnipeg from Fort William.

The Massacre at Uxbridge.

The terrible series of murders, which have been
perpetrated at a small cottage in one of the
prettiest villages in Middlesex, has startled the public
mind into a state of horror and shame. That in
enlightened and happy England there was a per-
son having so little fear of God or man as to murder
helpless women and innocent children one after the
other, and so much of the beast-like craving for blood
in him as to lose even his identity as a man at all,
has before been testified to by the author, De Quincy,
Lut in late years those old horrors recorded in the
annals of England have been either attributed to
the ignorance and brutality of the times or
partially disbelieved in, and the recurrence of
such atrocities has been looked upon as

an impossibility. The Pantin tragedy, how-
ever, prepared Englishmen for the foul deeds
which have now been accomplished within a few
miles of the English capital—hideous deeds which
only rival in barbarity the wholesale murders perpe-
trated by the sailor referred to by De Quincy,
but the circumstances of this new holo-
caust even leave that diabolical and ghastly
butchery far behind in the shade. The
name of the sailor was Williams. He had " yellow
hair, fierce eyes, haggard face, and a manner
like the fawning of a hungry beast of prey."
It is said that it was for the sake of
revenge that this demon entered a tradesman's
house in Ratcliffe Highway in 1812, and murdered
the husband, wife, apprentice, and little child, and
for the sake of plunder, his bloody appetite being
whetted, that he a fortnight afterwards put to death
the proprietor of a dwelling-house in the same neigh-
bourhood, his wife, and a young servant girl.
How to Deal with Vagrants.

Mr. Charles S. Smith, the Secretary of the New--
castle Mendicity Society, points out a method by
which that town has been cleared of mendicants,
and suggests its adoption in other places.
He says that all applicants are referred
to a central office by means of small printed paper
tickets, perforated sheets of which are distributed to
every householder in the town with an earnest
request that nothing be given to any beggar
but one such ticket. At the central
office the mendicants are examined by a competent
officer, and if worthy they are suitably relieved.
Every applicant, however unworthy, receives as much
bread as he can eat on the premises ; but no vagrant
is relieved more than once. If he appear a
second time, he is handed over to the police. The
result of this system, Mr. Smith says, has been that
scores of professional mendicants have left the town,
which, instead of being sorely infested with beggars,
now enjoys absolute immunity from their wearisome
appeals.

THE NEW RIVER COMPANY.—A sale by auction
of a somewhat unprecedented character, took place in the
City, at the Auction Mart yesterday. It consisted of parts
of shares in the New River Company, which were offered
iu forty-seven lots, representing an income of £2,100
per annum, and the gross amount realised by the
sale was about £62,430. Some striking facts as to
the increase in the value of the shares of this
company were 'mentioned by the auctioneer ; among
others that King Charles TI. gave up possession of
36 shares in the company in consideration of an annual
payment of £5OO, which payment still continues to be made
under the title of " The King's Clogg," and that one of this
36 shares was tested by public auction iu 1823 to be
worth .£17,050. So that the thirty-six shares
which were surrendered for a commuted payment
of £5OO a year in Kieg Charles the Second's time
were, in 1823, worth £613,800, or an annual income at 4
per cent. of £24,452! This statement seemed somewhat to
astonish the crowded room of City capitalists ; but the result
of yesterday's sale was still more remarkable, for it proved
that the public estimate of the value of one of the shares of
the King's moiety is £48,000. The 36 shares, therefore, are
now worth £1,728,000, representing an income at 4 per cent.
of £69,120, or 138 times more than King Charles was con-
tent to accept for his share.

ST. JAMES'S. THEATRE

Last evening the Americanversion of "Frou-Frou," by
Mr. Augustin Daly, was produced at this theatre, in
place of that originally represented here, , and of the
two we give the decided preference to Mr. _Daly's
adaptation of the piece. There is more real comedy
in it, and altogether it " goes," as the saying
is, much better, and acts closer than that done by Mr.
Webster, jun. On the ()main= we had a new Fr•ou-Frou
in Miss Hazlewood in place of Mdlle. Beatrice, and Miss
Thorne sustained the part of Louise vice Miss Henrade.
Miss Hazlewood has evidently made a complete study of
the part of the giddy, flighty Gilberte, and in the first two
acts she gave us a good embodiment of the cha-
racter, but in the more serious parts of the play she
was by no means as successful. There was a want
of dignity and intensity in her acting, but some allow-
ance must be made for the novelty of Miss
Hazlewood's position in following Mdlle. Beatrice
in the difficult part. We shall only be too pleased to
find that the defects we have mentioned were the re-
sult of nervousness. Miss Sarah Thorne sustained the
part of Louise very excellently, but certainly not better
than Miss Henrade. There was no other change of im-
portance in the cast. The grand burlesque extravaganza
" La Belle Sauvage," with new scenery, dresses, and ap-
pointments, closed the entertainments. The house was
very fully and fashionably attended.

good character should not reckon for something. If
Brittan had full possession of his wits, he would
know what to do next time he feels criminally in-

case he would be certain to get his sentence com-
muted.

Welsh Schoolmasters_ and the Education

Bill.

A conference of schoolmasters in South Wales
and Monmouthshire has been held to discuss various
subjects in connection with the Education question.
The result was the carrying of several resolutions.
These expressed an opinion that the existing arrange-
ments for religious teaching, had, in the experience of
the masters, been rarely objected to. A thorough
unaminity prevailed as to the impracticability of the
time-table conscience clause, but the meeting was not
in favour of prohibiting doctrinal instruction. The
principle of direct compulsory attendance of children
at either existing or rate-supported schools was advo-
cated. It was unanimouslyresolved that superannuation
would be a powerful means for securing and retaining
efficient teachers.

THE MANCHESTER OUTRAGES.

The man Ryan, who has been in custody on his
alleged confession of being the incendiary at Johnson's
timber-yard, Ancoats, and who was remanded after
examination at the City Police-court, on Saturday
last, has been discharged from custody. The police haVe
not been able to obtain further evidence, or to shew that
the prisoner was near the timber-yard on the night of
the fire. An inspector of detectives said he hal examined
the books of the Brickmakers' Union and found no entry
of payment such as the prisoner confessed to the
informant he had received. The stipendiary magis-
trate remarked it was not likely they would
keep a record of such a payment. The Deputy Chief
Constable having stated that it was not possible to obtain
further evidence, the Stipendiary said the prisoner's con-
fession must be regarded as arising from the delusion of
a drunken man, and therefore he discharged him.

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

Mr. Henry Leslie's second morning concert of the sum-
mer series took place yesterday, and drew together a
brilliant and fashionable audience. " The Messiah " was
the great musical attraction; the soloists engaged being
Mdlle. Christine - Nilsson, Madame Trebelli-Bettini,
Madame Sinico, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Santley, and
Signor Foli ; and to . have heard the imperishable
work of Handel given by the above artistes
would have, indeed, been a privilege ; but, unfor-
tunately, our great English tenor was again an
absentee, and Mr. George Perren was called upon to sing
his part of the music but a few minutes previous to the
commencement of the concert. It need hardly be said
the disappointment was very great, but sympathising
with the talented conductor, the audience forgot the
matter as soon as the first few bars of the noble
work were heard. It would be quite impossible
to say anything new of the manner in which each
of the artistes rendered their respective parts. Mr.
Santley, if it be possible, sang better than ever, and as
for Mdlle. Nilsson her rendering of the pieces, " While
shepherds," " How beautiful are the feet," and •` I know
that my Redeemer liveth," was, in every sense of the
term a marvellous effort of vocalisation. In each there
was allthat purity of tone and distinctness of pronunciation
that so remarkably distinguishes this great artiste ; every
note of the score, and no more, was sung, andthe immense
audience had the rather rare pleasure of hearing at the
same time the words the music accompanied. Mdlle. Nilsson,
it is almost needless to say, was nearly overwhelmed'
with applause. Mdlle. Sinico,. for " Rejoice greatly,"
and Madame Trebelli-Bettini, for " Then shall the eyes,"
deserve high commendation. ,The choruses were l
splendidly given, and despite the disappointment, the
oratorio passed off in the most praiseworthy and suc-
cessful manner.

SPAIN.

MADRID, May 25.
In last night's sitting of the Cortes the Civil Marriage
Bill was finally adopted.

It is asserted that Senor Martos opposed the plan of
conferring upon the Regent Serrano the attributes of
Royal authority.

Marshal Prim declared in the same sitting, most
emphatically and in the name of the Ministry, that Spain
had no connection with the recent occurrences in the
kingdom of Portugal, adding that a union between the
two countries could only be achieved by mutual attach-
ment of the two nations, but never by violent means.
Senor Rivero said he did not venture to hope for the
establishment of an Iberian union in his lifetime, but the
next generation would probably witness the event.

The draft of the New Penal Code has been passed in the
North German Parliament. The Lottery Loans Bill has
come on for the second reading, when the Finance Mini-

duce a bill dealing with the whole question. The other
clauses were withdrawn.

CLERICAL DISABILITIES.

The Daily News considers it needless to say anything
in favour of the principle of the Clerical Disabilities Bill.
Even granting to those who hold hign priestly notions of
the clerical office all they claim for ordination vows, it is
at least no part of the duty of the State to enforce such
vows. . Even Mr. Newdegate can see it to be the duty of
the State to keep open a way back from monastic and
conventual seclusion to those who repent of their vows ;
and his opposition to a measure which provides a similar
escape from the secular consequences of an ordi-
nation vow, merely illustrates anew the force of
prejudice. The question whether " Orders," as
they are called, are indelible, is not raised by the bill ; it
ifs a question with which the State has nothing to do.
Clergymen are under certain disabilities, not from any
theory about their " Orders," but for certain public rea-
sons • and if those reasons no longer apply, the disability
is no longer just. It is true that the 76th Canon declares
that no person admitted to Priest's or Deacon's Orders
shall afterwards relinquish the same ; but we may surely
leave that law of the Church to be enforced by such
spiritual penalties as individual consciences may dread.
Nye need not attach temporal penalties in order to
give the stage thunder of the ecclesiastical penalty a sem-
blance of reality. There is no reason why we should frame
the law on the principle, " Once a priest, always a priest."
Let those who hold that principle assert it for themselves ;
but if they wish to enforce it upon others, the law, instead

Frost. The men are colliers, and live at Stockton
Brook, near ilanley, On Tuesday night Steele,

house, a mile away, and returned with a gun loaded with
shot. On seeing Frost, he fired at him, and the charge
lodged in his arm. Frost raised his hand just as Steele
was firing, or he would have received the charge in his
body. Frost now lies under the care of a surgeon, so
Steele was remanded.
