THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.

The revived rumour, which we mentioned yebter-
day, on the authority of the Advertiser, to the effect
that the Duke of Cambridge has resigned his post as
Commander-in-Chief, turns out to be untrue. The
Telegraph speaks of it as "absurd," and declares that
it has not the slightest foundation in fact.

TIIE CITY OF BOSTON.

The arrival of the Bremen ship Smidt at New
York affords a spark of hope that all may not yet be
over with the City of Boston. The Smidt came into
port with 200 passengers, after a voyage of forty-four
days. It would be rash to reason from one case to the
other, especially as the City of Boston was much the
faster vessel, and her voyage was shorter. But she
has been out three days fewer than the Smidt, so
that, after all, there is a slight chance of her turning
up. The Bremen vessel was delayed by the great
severity of the weather, and by numerous icebergs.

A NEW CLUB.

A considerable number of names of Liberal mem-

as having signified their willingness to undertake the
task of guiding the arrangements by which the new
institution would be called into existence.

STEAMSHIPS.

One of the most remarkable features in the
growth of the British merchant navy is the enor-
mous superiority of our steam fleet to that of any
other country. In the year 1868 the British Empire
possessed no lobs than 977,292 tons of sea-going
steamers, against 135,259 tons belonging to France,
22,194 to Holland, and 36,856 to Hamburgh.
The total for the United States is not given, but it
was 198,115 tons in 1867, and the trade is known to
have been since at a standstill. England has more
than twice the tonnage in steamers of the States
named put together. These and other facts we have
previously quoted shew that if England is declining,
it is certainly not in shipping.

lIOW SHIPS ARE SOLD.

We have a curious little item of dockyard news.
The Mutine, a wooden corvette, pierced for 17 guns,
and described as in every way fit for service, was
r.Tently put up for sale by auction. II he highest
bid ling was £t),000; but there was a reserve prise
put upon her of S:8,00, and she was therefore boui:ht
in. It is now statel that the gentleman who offered
£6,000 Las obtained the ship by private arrangement

it remembered, but sails, spars, stores, engines, and,
in fact everything that was •on board when the was

A duel was fought to-day between the Duke de

ARCHIEPISCOPAL GRAMMAR.

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have
been guilty of a slip of the pen in a letter to the
Archbishop of Armagh.- It is not to be wondered.
at, therefore, tint in these dap of educational agita-
iion such a thing as bad grammar on the part of
two archiepiscopal dignitaries should be a noticeable
fact. At the same time, it would appear that "
Subscriber to the Times," who gives the start-
ling intelligence to that portion of the Times-reading;
world that has not alr3ady noticed it, is somewhat
unmerciful on such points when he says that the bad
grammar of the two Archbishops was such as "any
schoolboy should be ashamed of." Tho writers be-
came confused in the wording of a joint hitter, and
having Legun with the words, "My dear Lord Arch-
bishop," ended with, "We are my dear Lord Arch-
I,ishop," thus combining the angular and plural
pronouLs.

HABITUAL CRIMINALS.

There is some probability that the Habitual Crimi-
nal's Act will be extended to Scotland. The Lord
Advocate has promised to consider the matter.
The Pall Mall Gazette is told that great
alarm is felt in the North at recent indica-
tions of an increase of crime; indeed, it is
generally reported there that since the passing of
the Habitual Criminals Act there has been a large
migration of the most accomplished English thieves
across the border. A jeweller's shop in Edinburgh
was broken into the other_ day, in the most daring
and skilful manner, and 5.:3,090 worth of goods
carried off. mother robbery of a most audacious
character was also committed in the same city in the
open daylight. It is quite natural that the Scotch
should object to import.ng all the rascals whom we
make uncomfortable in England.

PUBLIC PROSECUTORS.

The Soi:::.z.tors' Journal believes that Mr. Eykyn's
Bill for providing public prosecutors will, it pro-
perly carried out, be an improvement on the present
state of things. It inBtancea. a rewarltable case in

It will be rernbered that there was some talk
about the probable effect of Mr. Lowe's last Budget
upon the Bank of England. On the side of the
Government it was argued that the Budget would
make no difference to the account—that though the
payments to the Exchequer would swell the public
deposits, yet all those payments would equally reduce
the private deposits, and so the aggregate means of.
the Bank—the entire money it has to
lend—would be as much as it was be-
fore. But the Economist declares that there
will be a great difference, for since the beginning of
the year no less than £18,000,000 has been paid into
the Bank, the largest sum ever collectei in the same
time, and-the establishment has grown richer. This
result is owing to the fact that whilst public
deposits have increased £4,417,000 over last
year, the private deposits have decreased only
£1,058,000, a difference of £2,750,000. Thus only
one-third. the increase in public deposits has been
compensated by the diminution in private deposits.
Now, says the Economist, at some time or other the
Bank will bo poor, for judging from the analogy of
our present experience, only one-third of the defi-
ciency in the public deposits will be made up by an
unusual magnitude in the private deposits.

TIE UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

CAMBRIDGE, Saturday Evening.
The Cambridge crew st ill, according to present
arrangements, take their departure for the Thames
after eight days' more praztice on the Cam ; and
certainly no University crew has left Cambridge fur
London during the last ten years with a better
chance of reversing the order of things which has
prevailed so long than that which will go forth
on Wednesday wick to do battle on the waters
for the honour of their Alma Mater. Nothwith-
standing the undeniable superiority of this year's
crew, it seems hard- to b,elieve that • the ill-luck
which has so persistently attended the fortunes of the
light blue of late years will at length desert them.
Whether it does or not, we are glad to have heard on
all hands expressions of a determination to perseverd
again, and if necessary again, until Cambridge row-
ing shall have attained its former excellence. Mr.
Morrison to-day gave the crew a long row about
twenty miles, clown to Ely, for the purpose of testing
their staying powers, and we are glad to be able to
chronicle the result as eminently satisfactory to the
experienced coach. Mr. Goldie, the president of the
Cambridge University Boat Club, and his seven
confreres entered their gig at the railway
bridge, Gordon haw-Bing the lines, she t'y after
twelve o'clock, and rowed over the University Course
and down to Bottisham pretty easily, and then
rowed hard down to Ely, with an easy at Up ware,
and two afterwards. Goldie rowed a good long
stroke, and the time all through the boat was very
good. We believe that on Monday or Tuesday
they will be tried in their light Inip.

OxFoitb, Saturday Eveni❑g.
The new boat ordered of Mesa. s. Salter is now On
the stocks, and will be completed next week. The
men are in good health, and from present appear-
ances those now occupying seats in the boat will re-
present the " dark blue'" at the approaching in:e-
resting struggle, the date of which, although not
officially announced, will almost sure to be Wed-
nesday, April 6, when the race can be rowed about
five o'clock in the afternoon.

WATERFORD.

There is, it appears, to be a petition against the
return of Mr. Osborne for Waterford, on the ground
of bribery and intimidation. Mr. Smyth, the defeated
Nationalist candidate, has arrived in the town for the
purpose of " fivaliy examining the evidence." Whilst
doing this he has addressed his friends, and made the
curious announcement that the petition was to be
presented with the utmost energy, though
they were to bury all animosity. Whatever
benefit a petition may be to Mr. Smyth, it can hardly
fail to be generally useful, if it reveal the true causes
of the lamentable disturbances which took place on
the polling day.

ANOTHER TELEGRAM.

The greatest excitement has been causedi, in this
city by the fatal result of a duel which was fought
this morning, at eleven o'clock, at the Artillery
Practice Ground, outside Madrid. The comba-
tants were the Duke de Montpensier and. Prince
Henry of Bourbon. The Duke's seconds were
two general officers and one of his aides-de-
camp holding the military rank of colonel. Three
Republican Deputies acted as the seconds of Prince
Henry, who won the first shot, as well as choice of
weapons and ground. The distance was ten paces.
On first firing, the Prince missed his antagonist,
who, returning the shot, also fired without effect.
Prince Henry again missed, and was slightly wounded
by the Duke's second shot, the bullet first striking
his pistol. Prince Henry then fired a third time, and
his ball grazed the Duke's cheek. The turn for the
Duke to fire now came again, and his aim was deadly,
the Prince being struck full in the forehead, and in-
stantaneously killed. Seeing the fatal effect of his
shot, the Duke exclaimed, "My God ! what have I
done? His children shall not be orphans—they
shall be my children."
The Duke de Montpensier and his seconds are
still at liberty in Madrid, the police having no
evidence on which to arrest them. The cause of the
duel was a violent and insulting letter, which Prince
Henry addressed to the Duke, calling him a Jesuit con-
spirator, and a bloated French pastry cook. A poli-
tical intrigue, fomented by the French Government,
is at the same time talked about in connection with
the affair.

persoos on the ground are said to have be-
haved well. After the Duke had fired twice, the
seconds wished the duel to terminate ; but the Prince,
nettled by his wound, insisted that the encounter
should proceed. Though it is acknowledged that the
Duke de ➢lontpensier maintained his reputation for
calm valour and generosity, he has, never, heless, lost
ground by this deplorable candidature for the
Spanish Throne. Already there is an ominous out-
cry, and the people threaten to revive the tumults of
1808.

WESTMINSTER.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.—John Edwards and another man,
who refused his address, but is known to the police as John
Williams, wore charged with br,tking and entering the
p►emises of Mr. Green, umbrella rn4k -r, 110, Sloane-street,
Pimlico, and stealing there:u 40U uathrellAs, five duz u para:-
sols, six gross dog collars, silver mounts, and other articles,'
the goods of Mr. Frederick Green.
On Thursday a man named Octave Nadeau was charged
with stealing the property and remanded.
It appeared that on the night of the 2d inst. Mr. Greene'
shop, which is not attached to a dwelling-house, was broken
into and the entire stock cleared out, the thieves having
broken through some complicated bars and locks. A re-
ward of £2O was offered, in consequence of which Mr. Greene
received an anonymous letter, and went to a house in New
Broad-street, City, where thoy were offered back to him for
£42 by an agent named Theodaridi, who alleged he had
bought them of a man named Moireau (not in custody)
through the agency of the prisoner Nadeau. The latter
was then taken into custody. _ _ _

Last night Inspector Palmer and Detective Sergeant
White of tho B division cleverly captured the prisoner in
Moore-street, Bobo.

M. Theodaridi was called, and proved that Edwards was
with Moireau when the things were sold to him, and a wit-
ness proved further that 2t hours afterwards he went from
Tower-street, Seven• dials, with the two prisoners, Moireau
and another man, to M. Theodarias, in New Bond-street.
They were remanded.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The Army and Navy Gazette evidently disapproves
of a committee searching into the items of the Abys-
sinian War. It asks whether anyone, except the
clover people who are " trying to bring themselves

and that the report will be found to be worth the

The following appeared in our Third Edition of Satur-
day last :

MADRID, March 11 (Evening.)
The organic jaws to be presented by the Minis-
try will be examined by the Cortes en bloc without
any discussion of the details. After the vote has been
taken it is believed, if it be net then possible to elect
a Sovereign, the Cortes will declare their Consti-
tuent Mission terminated, though the House will
continue to sit as an ordinary Cortes. The Senate
will then be nominated according to the new Con-
stitution by Universal Suffrage in two degrees, and
monarchical prerogatives will also be accorded Mar-
shal Serrano.

An animated debate took place in the Cortes to-
day relative to the Military Conscription, which the
Government desire to maintain.

NONCONFORMISTS AND THE EDUCATION BILL.

The Nonconformists of the metropolis have hold
their annual parliamentary breakfast. Naturally the
Eprdinucciaptalion topic
of debate was the Government
which was criticised. with some
severity. Mr. Miall stated that nothing could be
more disastrous than the tendency of the bill, for it
would strengthen denominationalism, and he was
convinced that the whole. stem of education would
be radically changed if the bill were allowed to be-
come law. It was recommended that the strongest
opposition should be given to the measure by the
Nonconforratsts.

THE ERIE RAILWAY.

The Tat'.lityv News discredits the alarming
rumours which have been spread respecting the in-
tention of Fisk and Gould to confiscate the share
capital held by those who have adhered to the pro-
tection movement. There is no ground what-
ever for apprehension. The latest news from
the shareholders' representative now in America
is decidedly favoural)l. Fisk and Gould are evi-
dently becoming alarmed at the prospect, and the
latter redoubtable personage has even intimated that
he would be happy to have an interview—which
honour Mr. Burt, the representatiVe of
.the Protec-
tion Committee, declined. .1143 • ,Radivau .News

THE WICKLOW PEERAGE CLAIM.

The hearing of this case was resumed to-day, be-
fore the Select Committee on Privileges, in the
House of Lords.

Sir J. Coleridge, on behalf of Mrs. Howard, said
he should be prepared with evidence in a short time
to contradict that given by Mary Best, to the effect
that she communicated the death of her child in Mrs.
Jones's presence, and Mrs. Jones was also made
aware afterwards that the child had died near
Thorpe. He should also produce the Longney wit-
nesses, who would show the improbability of Mrs.
'Toward having been in Liverpool either on the 22d
or the 26th August.
The inquiry was, under such circumstances, ad-
journed until Thursday next.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF HASTINGS'S

RACING DEBTS.

The suit Bubb v. Admiral Sir H. Yelverton, to ad-
minister to the estate of the late Marquis of Hastings,
came to-day before the Chief Clerk at Rolls Chain-
bere, on a proof of debts. On the part of Sir F.
Johnstone, it was sought to prove a debt cn
bond for £7,580, and the s .me was objected to.
Oa the part of Sir F. Johnstone it was stated that
the Marquis owed a debt of £3,000, and gave a
bond on advance, and the bond was not to, be' paid
for five years. It was contended, on the part of the
creditors, that as the £3,000 was a bet on the turf all
that could be proved for was the £4,000 advanced
when the bond was given. The eaina of Sir F. John-
stone for £7,580 was admitted.

SIR JOSEPH wnrrwonm's GUNS.

One of Sir Joseph Whitworth's shells broke up in
a gun during some experiments at Shoeburyness
few days ago. This was a grand occasion for his
opponents to come forth and make the
most of the circumstances, so Sir Joseph
writes to the Times, to say that he
was not present when the shell in question was fired,
and it was altogether out of the programme. lle
has in his possession a shell formed from the very
same piece of metal, which did not break up even or.
striking a three-inch plate against which it was
fired, so that whatever may have been the cause of
the occurrence, the material is not to blame.

COUNT MONTALEMBERT.

The Standard remarks that Count Montalembert's pro-
test against the attempt to establish the doctrine of Papal
infallibility was the last utterance, the political testament,
so to speak, of a man whose name will live in history as
that of one of the most able and the most honest states-
men and litterateurs of his day. Count Montalembert
who died, who was mercifully released from hopeless
suffering on Sunday morning, held throughout his life as a
politician and a Roman Catholic a position of the utmost
difficulty. A fervent Catholic, but a sincere and enthusiastic
partisan of political freedom, he had all his life to struggle
against the grossest prejudices and misrepresentations,
and to bear the hard cross of being looked upon with sus-
picion and distrust by the great majority of those with
whom, whether as Liberal or as Catholic, he was allied.
m
Count Montalembert vas born an Englishman, although
by parentage a Frenchman, and he always retained an
affection and admiration for the land of his birth, heretic
a 3 it was. He liked, to use his own expression, to take
"a- bath of liberty" in England, and his contrasts of
English liberty with the system established in France
after the coup d'etat, involved him in more than one pro-
secution. We have touched very slightly upon the life
of this eminent man. His part in the history of
his country, in that moot interesting religious movement
of his youth, and his political activity in later years,
deserve and will receive a more careful appreciation than
we can give to them now. His death is a great loss to
France, although he had practically given up all active
part in political or religious affairs for some years; and
wherever there is respect for high principle, for genuine
devotion, for earnestness, truthfulness, and eloquence,
there will be regret at the premature departure—he was
but 59-of the Count Charles de Montalembert.

THE RAILWAY OF TILE FUTURE.

Recent experiments with the Fairlie engine and
the narrow—that is, the two foot—gauge have es-
tablished some remarkable results. The narrow line
of rails undoubtedly does save a large percentage of
dead weight in rolling stock; and the Fairlie
bogie engine consumes 25 per cent. less fuel than
the ordinary machine, besides its advantages
in turning curves, less wear and tear, &c. The
Railway News takes upon itself the responsibility of
stating that the result of these experiments is correct.
And why, it asks, do not the opponents of the new
system come forward, and establish their case ? or
why, if they cannot do so, is not the Fairlie engine
brought into operation ? Why on earth do
we go on building expensive broad guage
lines, especially in our colonies and India ?
Are we to remain tied in the hands of the
few obstructives who say we won't move on ? Are
those portions of our island which have no rail
accommodation to remain in that condition because
we cannot build railways that will pay, and because
we may be told, as the Brighton E ailway share-
holders were, that we had better light our pipes with
our bank-notes? We think not; the time has now
arrived for ascertaining why this system of double-
bogie engines is not adopted."

EXTRA REGULATION PRICES.

The Telegraph discusses the extra regulation prices hit
army commissions, and says the specific point in question
is rather what the lawyers would call a feigned issue than
the real one. The real dispute is as to the extra re4rula-
tion prices given by British officers for their commissions.
Those who have attained the highest rank that may be
purchased in our army, after having paid largely
in addition to the regulation sum for each
Successive step in the ladder of promotion, . will
be sbnoy ruined. We can have no doubt that
the right thing would be, to ascertain what the amount of
t:iis extra regulation fund is, and to snake a liberal bargain
with the officers. Thus, by substituting the element of
certainty for that of uncertainty the public
might enjoy the benefit of a very handsome deduc-
tion from the siun-total, and the status of the officers
would be much improved. Is it not disgraceful
to the nation that the Duke of Cambridge should
have felt himself constrained to give the answer
which follows to the Select Committee on Military
organisation in 1860 ?—" I should represent to the Secre-
tary of State that such and such [meaning payment of
extra regulation price] had been the case, and I should
ask him if he did not think it a case for prosecution." In
his official character, his royal highness could give no
other 'answer ; but would he condescend to inform us of
the name of that British officer, from the highest to the
lowest, who could escape prosecution, either as principal
or aider and' abetter, if his doctrine passed from theory
into practice ?

TIIE COMBINED NAVAT. SQUADU3NS.

An official report has been published of the per-
formances of the ships of the combined Channel and
Mediterranean squadron 3 during the cruise between
the 23rd August and the 2nd October ult. A
report was duly submitted to the Lords of the
Admiralty by the Captain of the Fleet, George
0. Willes, on the proceedings of tho ships during the
cruise. In reply, their lordships allude to the abso-
lute necessity of keeping her Majesty's Beet and
ships, snore at sea and especially out of home
ports. This has been strongly impressed upon
their lordships by the evident inexporienco in fleet
sailing, and of other professional duties at sea em-
hibited by many officers. Their lordships express a
hope that by a system of frequently exchanging officers
and men between sea-going and reserve ships,
by the formation of squadrons of evolution, by con-
stant cruising of the two fleets, and by so reducing
the present redundant number of officers so that
they may be more constantly kept at sea on full pay,
much improvement will be erected.

THE EDUCATION BILL.

Mr. Forster, says the Post was told by the deputation.
from the Congregational Union thatthe religious difficulty
in the Education Bill would- be met by the master of the
school being allowed to read the Scriptures, but prohi-
bited from teaching the dogmas of Christianity.' Both
the difficulty and the mode of solving it are enough to-put
the Congregational Union out of court ; for the difficulty
is a disagreement of opinion amongst people who pro-
pose to sweep away the labours of men whose co-ope-
ration has in less than forty years almost covered
England with 'schools ; and the proposed 'solution is- one
which the-Union must have suggested with a full ap'pre-
elation r,f its worthlessness. In his reply to another depu-
tation, representing the National Education Union, the
Prime Minister -adopted from Lord Harrowby the prin.'
ciple on which the Union takes its stand, namely, " that
religion is not to be compulsorily separated from education."
If there are districts in town or country where no schools
exist at present, and where the population would rather
not have religion taught, the Government Bill will help the
Education League to supply them. Thus all tastes, -
including those which are either outside the Christian
pale, or those which somewhat border upon it, are pro-
vided for. But this does not satisfy either the Lea-ue or
the .Congregational Union. Neither of these bodies
appears to understand that there is such a thing as fair
play between opposing interests, or that the men who have
given England that great, if not complete, system of
national education which she possesses have at ICast as
great a right to the consideration of the Legislature as the
Secularists, who have-done nothing to help the cause, or
the Congregational Union, who seem to have done littl•
more.
London, England, 1870-03-14

THE DEBATE.

The problem why the debate was so dull is of very
obvious sclution. It was very one-sided. Moreover,
the Conservative members who spoke were under
palpable restraint. The Spectator says the tone of
all the Opposition speeches was similar—a tone of
strong dislike suppressed for prudential reasons.
Dr. Ball's consistent line of thought that " free con-
tract" is the highest form of tenure that the intellect
of man has been able to devise, and that in legisla-
ting to rostrict such freedom, Britain was relegating
Ireland to a lower civilisation, was the ablest effusion
on his side. The Saturday Review observes that a
Conservative member traced the dulness to the Lill
being so moderate that the Opposition could find no
substantial objection to it. " But if dull, the debate
has been sensible and to the point, and has settled
that the Irish Land Bill, with some, perhaps
with many, modifications, is to become law."
The Economist holds that public °ninon on
the land question has much improved of late
years, and tho bill is the expression of that
improved opinion. The measure does not attempt
to create ;it is content to recognise. "It does not
profess to give real rights to property ; it only pro-
fesses to legalise unnoticed rights of property."

THE IRISH AND THE LAND DILL.
Some of the Londonderry tenants have shewn
themselves favourably disposed towards the Land,
Bill. At a meeting at 1\ ewtownlimavady, resolu-
tions in favour of extending the Ulster custom to the
whole of Ireland were passed ; but satisfaction was
expressed with the provision in the Land Bill
enabling tenants to purchase the fee-simple of their
holdings, as thereby a substantial and loyal yeomanry
would be established in Ireland. It was also de-
clared that the Government, by the earnest desire
they had shewn to repress the grievances of the
tenants of Ireland, are entitled to the fullest confid-
ence and support. The Drogheda Corporation have
resolved to petition Parliament in favour of extend-
ing the Ulster custom to the whole of Ireland. It
would appear that 110 W fixity of tenure is exploded
the Irish aro coming to view the question more
reasonably.

EDUCATION DILL AMENDMENT.
"M.P." confirms the statement that at a meeting
of Liberal members it was agreed to move an amend-
ment to the second reading of the Education Bill, the
amendment being that of which Mr. Dixon gave
notice. "But, in order that the importance of the
action of these gentlemen may not be overrated, it
should also be known that less than 25 members
were present; that some of them raised an earnest
protest against the course adopted ; that the proceed-
ings were as hasty as the proposal ; and that many,
even of the most advanced supporters of the League,
who were absent, have since condemned it in the
strongest terms."

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.

The Unita Cattolica publishes the text of the resolution
respecting the Infallibility of the Pope, as it has been
proposed in the Council, and will probably be adopted. It
is as follows :
" To the Sacred (Ecumenical Council of the Vatican :
The undersigned Fathers humbly and urgently entreat the
sacred Synod of the Vatican to declare in express terms,
which remove all doubt that, the authority of the Roman
Pontiff is exempt from error when it decides questions of
morals, and when it declares what should be believed by
all the faithful and what should be rejectbd and con-
demned."

PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA

According to Berlin correspondence, the Archduke
Louis-Victor, brother of the Emperor of Austria, will
shortly visit that city. It is said that no political im-
portance must be attached to this visit, as it is simply one
of courtesy. The Prussian journals are commenting on
the state of the nationalities of Austria. The Correspondence
of Berlin refers to a pamphlet of the Russian General
Fadujef, which is directed against Austria and the German
nationalities, and congratulates itself that the policy of the
cabinet of St. Petersburg is so different from that defined
by the General. The Official Gazette of Vienna has not
published the Imperial decree with respect to the resig-
nation of the three Ministers of the minority; it will not be
announced until after the vote has been taken in the
Chamber of Deputies. The attitude which has been
assumed by the Chancellor of the Empire in the midst of
the constitutional crisis has given rise to many remarks.
Count Beust took advantage of the first opportunity
-which presented itself to explain his opinions on
the political situation. The electors of Reich-

AN INSANE PATIENT DYING FROM
BROKEN RIBS.

Another of those now unhappily frequent cases of
lunatics dying in asylums from broken ribs was investiga-
ted on Monday at Carmarthen. The deceased was an
inmate of the Joint Counties Asylum at Carmarthen.
When he came to the Asylum, according to one account,
he was blithe and cheery. A few days after
his entry, however, after a fit of violence, he was so weak
that he could hardly move. When he saw him in the
padded room, the assistant-surgeon suspected from certain
spasmodic twitchings, from his difficult breathing, and
the way in which he lay that it was a case
of broken ribs. Similar cases had occured before,
and had been unaccounted for, except by the evidence of
attendants. He belieyed that a person quietly kneeling
on the patient's chest, the patient resisting, would be suffi-
cient to break the ribs. It is remarkable that no one
discovered the patient's ribs were broken until four days
after death, when a post-mortem examination was made.
In accordance with the evidence of the medical superin-
tendent, the jury found that deceased died of pleurisy.
caused by fracture of the ribs.

THE ELECTIONS IN SPAIN.

The committee of the Junta of the Progressist Demo-
crats of Oviedo have issued an address to the members of
their party in that province with respect to the approach-
ing elections of deputies to the Cortes. This address com-
ments upon the great importance of the coming elections
and recommends as candidates, Senores Perez do la Sala
and San Miguel, as the most advantageous for the interests
of the Liberal party. The address concludes with these
significant words; "We need not impress on our
friends the necessity of employing all our efforts
in favour of these candidates, as the best for the
interests of our party. We are secure that, moved by a
noble sentiment of chivalry and patriotism, they have de-
cided to support the party whose doctrines are most con-
trary to ours if the Liberal Union persist in the purpose
it announces, of presenting as its candidate in the two
circumscriptions the unpopular pretey dr.--,044,*-iio Maria
de Orleans, Duke of Montpensier."
