THE LORDS AND THE LAND BILL,

The Times considers that the vote on Lord Clanricarde's.
amendment was a painful interruption to a discussion
otherwise marked by a different spirit. Remembering
who first used the epithet, the Times cannot but regret
an alteration of the bill that would enable "felonious "
acts to be still committed with impunity if it were
allowed to st and unredressed. The glaring insufficiency of
the argument of Lord Cairns on the subject, its want of
point as an answer to the speech of Lord O'Hagan, is ex-
plained by Lord Kimberley's statement that Lord
Cairns delivered it without having had the advantage of
hearing the previous debate. This fact makes intelligible
what would otherwise b e hopelessly dark, and it affords some
additional reason for looking forward to an easy reversal of
the mistaken vote of last night. Long before the subject
comes again before the Lords there will be opportunity
for examining and appreciating the real facts and reasons
bearing on the question, and we may trust to the House
to abandon a conclusion which is at variance with the
principles admitted on both sides as those that ought to
govern the Land Bill.
The Standard is not surprised to find that the conduct
of the Lords does not give satisfaction to the friends of
the' Ministry. The Peers have presumed to alter the
Irish Land ]ill. It is true that the alterations have been
very slight, and merely upon matters of detail. Even the
principle of the bill has been left untouched, but this is
not enough for Mr. Gladstone. He has desired that the
whole bill, and nothing but the bill, shall be passed. He
has resolved that it is the perfection of legislative
wisdom. Mr. Gladstone has willed that it must be pass,
and because the Lords have dared, after agreeing
to its main principles, to alter some of its de-
tails, they are declared to be enemies of the
people, and are threatened with extinction as an order.
If whenever an amendment is carried against the wishes
of the day we have this threat of revolution—of ruin, not
only to the political existence, but to the personal rights
and the property of the Lords—how extravagant is the
idea that we still retain a Constitutional Government in
England ! Upon the present occasion there is absolutely
no pretext for a resort to the usual tactics of the Liberal
party. The House of Lords, so far from displaying any
intemperate or partial spirit in their action towards the
Irish Land Bill, have been singularly moderate, disin-
terested, and self-restrained. It is scarcely conceivable
that they could do less than they have done consistently
with their character of an independent, co-ordinate branch
of the Legislature,

REPRESENTATION OF DUBLIN.

Mr. STACPOOLE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
if he could state what course the Government were going
to take with reference to the vacancy in the representation
of the city of Dublin.
Mr. C. FORTESCUE replied that the law officers of the
Crown and the Government had carefully considered the
subject, and they had, come to the conclusion that the
report of the commissioners upon the Dublin freemen,
which amply justified the issuing of that commission, was,
in respect of the last election, not sufficiently strong
to enable the Government to bring in a bill for
the purpose of disfranchising the freemen of Dublin as a
body, but at the same time a bill would be introduced by
the Solicitor-General for Ireland for the purpose of dis-
franchising those freemen whose names were on the sche-
dule as having been guilty of corrupt practices. As soon
as the bill became law the writ for Dublin would be
issued.

EDUCATION.

Mr. KENNAWAY asked the Vice-President of the Council
whether, in the case of a district separated for ecclesiasti-
cal purposes from a parish, and possessing sufficient

school accommodation of its own, it was intended under
the bill that such district should be obliged to contribute
to an educational rate that may be required to be made,
by the parish of which, for civil purposes, the district still

forms a part.
Mr. FORSTER replied that it was not so intended, and
with regard to a question, of which the hon. member
had given him private notice, the sub-section, second
clause 48, simply contemplated that if there be a part of
a parish outside a borough, provision should be made for
it in the bill.

THE DEATH OF SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Several hon. gentlemen put questions to the Secretary
of State for War with reference to the death of two soldiers
from sunstroke whilst on the march.

Mr. CARDWELL at some length explained the circum-
stances connected with the cases. He said that one sol-
dier had died from sunstroke, but the medical
officer gave it as his opinion that the death
of the other was ascribable to drink, which had rendered
him unfit for the march. No complaint had been made
either directly or indirectly. It was the desire of the
War Office that marches of soldiers should always be
effected at the most convenient hours for the comfort of
the men.

THE CUBAN DEBATE.

The great Cuban debate ended to-day in the defeat of
General Banks and his adherents. Though the final vote
is not yet taken the result is assured, and the action of the
House will sustain the position of the President. The
debate was opened to-day by Fernando Wood in favour
of the majority report. He was followed by Mr. Willard,
in an able speech on the other side, one of the most
noticeable features of which was the vigorous manner in
which he defended the right of the President, and
the propriety and good taste in his judgment to
send a message to Congress on so important a subject at
any time, especially when the fact was considered that
Cuban advocates and ex-Confederate generals were per-
mitted on the floor of the House to appeal personally to
members in behalf of their cause. Mr. Judd then ob-
tained the floor, but yielded in half an hour to Gen. Butler,
who made a strong and characteristic speech' against the
report. He was followed by Gen. Logan, to whom Mr.
Judd yielded the balance of his time, and who made a speech
that, to say the least, was most extraordinary. The first
ten minutes was devoted to Butler, and it was the rough-
est assault ever made upon that gentleman in the House.
The rest of it was a .characteristic advocacy of the Cuban
cause, abounding in exuberant rhetoric, elaboi?.te and
never-ending sentences, highly-wrought illustrations and
extreme views, in which the President and his position
were not overlooked. General Banks then rose to close
the debate, but had not proceeded far when his voice
failed him, and he said he would be obliged to call for the
vote. Mr. Bingham then moved to reconsider
the vote whereby the main question was ordered,
so that he could get in his substitute, which is simply the
third resolution of the minority report, authorising the
President to protest against the manner in which Spain is
conducting the war. Mr. Cox moved to lay this motion on
the table; which was first lost on tellers by six majority,
and then, on yeas and nays by thirteen majority. After
considerable confusion and some delay, the motion to re-
consider was carried by eighteen maj ority,yeas eighty-eight,
nays seventy, and thus the case fell under the manage-
ment of Judge Bingham, who immediately offered
his substitute, on which the previous question was
seconded, whereupon the House adjourned. The firstvote will be on Mr. Logan's amendment to the majority
.report, which is, in substance, to put Cuba on the same
. ground in respect to intercourse and trade that Spain
' now occupies. The next vote will be on Judge Bingham's
substitute for both the majority and minority re-
ports, and it will doubtless be agreed to.—New York
Times, June 16.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.

The flue of a boiler at Firwood Mills, Middleton, near
Manchester, collapsed yesterday morning at half-past eight
o'clock. Three men were in the boiler-house at the

One escaped almost uninjured, but the others
were dreadfully scalded. They were removed to the
Manchester Infirmary, where one died soon afterwards.
A defect in the seams of the boiler caused the explosion.
The boiler wus inspected only Iwo months since, and was
then in good order. A telegram received this morning
states that another death—that of Samuel Barlow, aged
17—has resulted from the boiler explosion at Middleton,
near Manchester.

THE QUARREL AT THE ADMIRALTY.
The Pall Mall Gazette says the statements published by
the Standard and Telegraph respecting the resignations
at Whitehall are inaccurate in some respects. It is
quite true that Sir Spencer Robinson has withdrawn
his resignation, but the case is quite different with the
Chief Constructor of the Navy. That officer was on the
point of leaving town for Plymouth, on a visit to Prince
Adalhert,when Sir Spencer Robison decided on remaining
at the Admiralty, and this course was so unexpected by
Mr. Reed that he took time to consider his position under
the altered circumstances of the case. We have good
reason to believe that he will prefer to complete his re-
signation.

SIR HENRY DURAND AT SIMLA.

A. grand banquet has been given to Sir Henry
Durand at Simla on his departure for the Punjab,
of which he has been appointed Gove*tor. Lord
Napier of Magdala, who presided, proposed the
toast of the evening, and referred to the
early friendship which existed between himself
and Sir Henry Durand, at Addiscombe. He gave a
most interesting outline of Sir Henry's subsequent
career, beginning with the bursting in of the Gate
at Ghuznee in 1838, when Lieutenant Durand pre-
vented general disaster by arresting a bugler who was
beginning to sound the retreat. He was
afterwards private Secretary to Lord Ellenborough,
and was present at his great battles, and in later
years he obtained high praise for his conduct during
the Indian mutiny. Sir H. Durand, in returning
thanks, remarked that it was forty-three years since
he had been first under the command of a gentleman
cadet, Hobert Napier. In the Punjab, whither he
was now going, he had fought hard against
the Sikhs, but he would act on the principle
that you must love your enemies, especially those
who had fought against you like men. According to
the Times of India, Sir Henry's assumption of the
Government of the Punjab will be marked by a few
minor changes on the frontier. It is thought desirable
to bring our relations with Kashmeer, Yarkund, and
Afghanistan more under the direct control of the
Government of India, without taking away the
authority of the Lieutenant-Governor.

STRIKES IN CORK.

The example of the tailors in striking for an increase of
wages has been extensively followed in Cork by the em-
ployes in other branches of trade. Yesterday the men
at the Cork Steamship Company Works, at several foun-
dries and other large establishments, have declined to con-
tinue at the present rates of remuneration. The women
and girls employed at the Cork Flax Factory, the Cotton
Factory, and Fox's establishment have also struck. The
sale of newspapers in the street is suspended, and th
news-boys have adopted the same course,,
London, England, 1870-06-28

MINISTERIAL CHANGES.

The general impression is that, consequent upon
the death of Lord Clarendon, the Foreign Secre-
taryship will be at the acceptance or refusal of
Earl Granville. Supposing that noble lord to re-
move to the Foreign Office, Mr. Cardw(-11, it is
thought, will become once more Colonial Secre-
tary, his post at the War Office in that case being
filled by Lord .Northbrook. Supposing on the
other hand, that Lord Granville were to decide
upon remaining, as hitherto, at the head of the
Colcinial Department, Lord Kimberley, who began
his career as an administrator as Under-Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, may possibly be installed at the
Foreign Office as Secretary of State, leaving his now
purely ornamental office as Lord Privy Seal to be filled
up or not according to Mr. Gladstone's discretion.
Lord Granville's removal from the Colonial Office,
and Mr. Cardwell's removal from the War Office
may be regarded as in many ways desirable to others
as well as to themselves ; in each instance the change
would be the removal of a difficulty. Until now
the Cabinet Ministers have remained unchanged
since the first formation of the Government.
Even when ailing (one or two of them) they have
stood shoulder to shoulder in a serried cluster like
fighting highlanders. Now that death has caused
one of them to drop out of the ranks, the possibility
becomes imminent that more than one change may
be the consequence—that Lord Clarendon's death
and Mr. Bright's continued absence through illness,
and Mr. Childers' indisposition may necessitate
several alterations and shiftings in the general orga-
nisation of the Government.

CORRUPT PRACTICES.

Bribery and corruption have not yet ceased to be a
trouble to the legislature; they have not even
finally emerged from the dubious state of investiga-
tion by select committees. A committee has just
finished an inquiry touching the proper course to be
adopted with several members of the House of
Commons, who at different times, extending
in some cases so far back as seventeen years have
been reported guilty of corrupt practices by election
commissions. All these persons received a certificate o f
indemnity, and no proceedings have been taken
against them. Their offence remains unpunished.
Nor can the committee recommend that any prose-
cution should be undertaken. These members of
Parliament were heard as witnesses, and in that
capacity incriminating evidence turned up
against them. The committee think it would be
unjust to take proceedings merely in consequence of
a report founded upon what a candidate might admit
as a witness. The accused person should have an
opportunity of defending himself in the regular
manner, which, of course, he had not before the
commission, the business of which is not to inquire
into the conduct of any particular person or per-
sons, but to ascertain generally the extent to which
corrupt practices may have prevailed in a certain
place. Equally are the committee of opinion that no
proceedings should be taken against any of those
members by the inherent authority of the house of
Commons. The law, however, is clearly unsatis-
factory. The committee recommend the abolition of
the distinction between persons who are and persons
who are not candidates :
Candidates are liable to be disqualified only for such
bribery as, upon the trial of an election petition under
the Act, may affect the election then in controversy ; and
even such bribery will only disqualify, if it is established
at the trial by the report of the judge. A conviction upon
a criminal prosecution in a court of law, for bribery as a
candidate at any election whatever, would not disqualify,
though, if the offender had not been a candidate, he would
have been disqualified, upon such conviction. We think
it clear that this distinction ought not to continue.
The committee are of opinion that the lapse of one
year after the offence ought not to be a bar to pro-
ceedings, but that they might be commenced at any
time within three months after the alleged offenders
shall have been reported guilty by a judge. "In
this manner the mischief arising from reports of this
nature not being followed up by proceedings against
the parties inculpated, may for the future be avoided
or at least materially diminished."

THE CHANNEL YACHT RACE,

In a few days the people in the South of Ireland
will have an opportnnity of witnessing a pretty
spectacle, that of two yachts trimmed with balloon
sails and furnished with every article of racing gear
starting on their essay to . breast the great
Atlantic, and to prove in one case or the
other their right to claim the championship of
.the wide ocean they traverse.. The vessels Cambria
and Dauntless will be at their moorings off the Old
Head of Kinsale at mid-day on Monday, and at that
time the race, to Sandy Hook, an island off New
Jersey, 25 miles south of New York, will be com-
menced. It is thought in America thattheawards, a ser-
vice of plate, value £250, and the championship of the
Atlantic will be won by Mr. Ashbury's yacht, although

it is believed Mr. James Gordon Bennett will leave no
effort untried to secure the ,fourth victory of the
Americans in the present year, and his own second
victory in a transatlantic struggle. The Cambria
is now at Queenstown taking in stores. The move-
ments of the rival vessel have not become known.

TRIAL OF FENIAN RAIDERS,

Three Fenian raiders, Starr, Thompson, and marair,
were yesterday arraigned for violating the Neutrality
Laws in the United States Court at Canandaigua, New
York. The prisoners pleaded " Not Guilty" in each case,
and counsel asked the postponement of the trial, to give
time to prepare the defence. The arguments en motions
to postpone the trial have not yet been heard.

THE PETITION OF THE ORLEANS
PRINCES.

The Legislative Body's committee on petitions assem-
bled yesterday to consider the one presented by the
Orleans Princes. MM. Emile 011ivier and Chevandier de
Valdrome were present. The Minister of Justice said the
Government demanded that the Legislative Body should
reject the petition by passing to the order of the day. The
committee passed to the order of the day by eight votes
against one. M. Gustave Fould, the dissenting member,
maintained that the petition should be referred to the
Government for examination. The subject will come
under the consideration of the Legislative Body on Satur-
day next. The France says that the principal reason of
the Government's opposing the petition is that a demand
like that of the Orleans princes could only be properly
addressed to the Emperor, accompanied by a formal
renunciation of all claims to the Throne.

ARREARS IN CHANCERY BUSINESS.

The delay which has taken place in the appoint-
ment of a Lord Chief Justice of Appeal in the room
of the late Sir Charles Selwyn has caused so much
inconvenience, and the matter has been so repeatedly
discussed in the newspapers, that it is desirable some

further means should be taken to bring the subject
before Parliament. A. correspondent of the 7 inzes
states that at this time last year there Were only six
appeals pending and to be heard before the Lords
Justices, but that there are now forty-six, and the
number of appeals set down for the purposes of delay
is rapidly increasing. The illness of Lord Justice
Giffiaci has practically closed the doors of the Appeal
Court, and unless measures are taken to get rid of the
accumulated cases, great injury will be done to
the unfortunate suitors. The saving effected by
abolishing the office of Lord Justice • amounts to
£6,000, but the loss which must accrue to the
country by this ill-timed step, is well nigh incalcu-
lable, not to mention the terrible inconvenience
produced. •

accident occurred yesterday on the Holywood and Bangor
Railway. An express train from Bangor, a fashionable
watering-place, was on its way to Belfast, when a luggage
train ran into it. Ninety-four persons were in the train,
sixteen of whom were injured, but none fatally.

DESTRUCTION OF A THEATRE BY FIRE

-
The theatre of Brunn, in Austria, has been en-
tirely destroyed by fire. The library and the wardrobe
alone were saved. The flames broke out half an hour
before the time for opening the doors. We are informed
that the storehouse of the Zarzuela Theatre at Madrid has
also been destroyed by fire, with a loss of 300,000 fr.,
which will fall entirely on the proprietor, M. Salas, as the
dresses, scenery, &c., burnt had been removed there
from the house itself without due notice having been given
to the insurance company.

THE LATE EARL HOWE.

At a large and influential meeting of the clergy and laity,
held in. Leicester yesterday afternoon, it was decided to
raise a memorial to the memory of the late Earl Howe,
who died on the thirtieth of May. The memorial will
take the form of a church, to be erected in the south-
eastern part of the town, where such an edifice is much
needed.

A DELICATE QUESTION.

The lady who appeared in the Court of Common
Pleas on Saturday was a match not only for the
Solicitor-General, silvery and persuasive though his
voice may be, but even for Lord Chief Justice
Bovill who tried in vain to make her tell
the secret of her age. The action was
brought by the lady, Mrs. Morgell, against
Sir Edward Gambier and his wife, to recover
damages for alleged libels contained in letters written
by Lady Gambier. Sir J. Coleridge, in cross-examin-
ing Mrs. Morgell, wanted to know her age, and that
of the defendant. But Mrs. Morgell was not to be
trepanned by the wiles of the Solicitor-General. "I
will not answer it," was the reply. " How old are
you P" reiterates the counsel. "I do not choose to
answer," was the firm response of the lady. " Are
you seventy F " says the bland and insinuating bar-
rister. " Make me a hundred if you please, but I
am not going to answer." In vain did the lawyer
press her; in vain did the judge urge her. Mrs Morgell
had made up her mind and was prepared with areason for
her refusal. She had probably had " Every Man (and
Woman) His (or Her) Own Lawyer," and threw the
law in the face of her relentless questioners. " The
English law does not force me, I believe, to answer
such a question." A compromise was tried by the
baffled counsel. Perhaps the lady might write her
age down on paper and hand it to the jury. But the
lady objected to this too, and finally the matter was
allowed to drop. Let the Women's Rights Associa-
tion be assured that one of the sex has been able to
hold her own against their oppressors, and may Mrs.
Morgell receive a condign reward.

TRIAL OF FENIAN RAIDERS.

Thiee Fenian raiders, Starr, Thompgon, and Mamir,
were yesterday arraigned for violating the Neutrality
Laws in the United States Court at Canandaigua, New
York. The prisoners pleaded." Not Guilty" in each case,
and counsel asked the postponement of the trial, to give
time to prepare the defence. Tilt arguments on motions
to postpone the trial have not yet been heard.

THE PETITION OP THE ORLEANS
PRINCES.

The Legislative Body's committee on petitions assem-
bled yesterday to consider the one presented by the
Orleans Princes. MM. Emile 011ivier and Chevandier de
Valdrome were present. The Minister of Justice said the
Government demanded that the Legislative Body should
reject the petition by passing to the order of the day. The
committee passed to the order of the day by eight votes
against one. M. Gustave Fould, the dissenting member,
maintained that the petition should be referred to the
Government for examination. The subject will come
under the consideration of the Legislative Body on Satur-
day next. The France says that the principal reason of
the Government's opposing the petition is that a demand
like that of the Orleans princes could only be properly
addressed to the Emperor, accompanied by a formal
renunciation of all claims to the Throne.

NOMINATION OF MAYORS IN FRANCE.
In yesterday's sitting of the Legislative Body, Articles
4 and 5 of the bill relating to the nomination of mayors
were adopted. M. E. 011ivier declared that the Govern-
ment considers the present bill final. The debate on the
Budget will commence on Thursday next. News has
been received in Paris of the death of M. Barbes at the
Hague. Prince Napoleon has returned from Switzer-
land. The rumour circulated to-day of the intended
resignation of the Minister of the Interior is wholly un-
founded.

VOYAGES TO IRELAND.

The carriage of deck-loads of live stock or other
descriptions of cargo is often productive of disaster
to vessels; but it is obvious that the mischief does
not happen on the voyages between England and
Ireland. A- return of the number of passages made
by steamships across the Irish Channel has been
issued, and it sets forth that in the opinion of the
Board of Trade not one accident is to be attributed
to deck-cargoes. In fact there are, so to speak, no
disasters incident to this branch of navigation. On
an average above four thousand voyages are made
annually from England to Ireland, and four thousand
the reverse way ; but during the last ten years only
three steamships have been lost. Such immunity
from accident, even though the distance be short, is
really remarkable. How favourably it compares
with the annual bill of slaughter in the Baltic Sea!
These three shipwrecks did not result in the sacrifice
of a single life.

SIR lIENRY DURAND AT SIMLA.

A grand banquet has been given to Sir
_._Henry
. .

Durand at Simla on his departure for the Punjab,
of which he has been appointed Govevior. Lord
Napier of Magdala, who presided, proposed the
toast of the evening, and referred to the
early friendship which existed between himself
and Sir Henry Durand, at Addiscombe. He gave a
most interesting outline of Sir Henry's subsequent
career, beginning with the bursting in of the Gate
at Ghuznee in 1838, when Lieutenant Durand pre-
vented general disaster by arresting a bugler who was
beginning to sound the retreat. He was
afterwards private Secretary to Lord Ellenborough,
and was present at his great battles, and in later
years he obtained high praise for his conduct during
the Indian mutiny. Sir H.. Durand, in returning
thanks, remarked that it was forty-three years since

he had been first under the command of a gentleman
cadet, Robert Napier. In the Punjab, whither he
was now going, he had fought hard against
the Sikhs, but he would act on the principle

that you must love your enemies, especially those
who had fought against you like men. According to

the Times of India, Sir Henry's assumption of the
Government of the Punjab will be marked by a few
minor changes on the frontier. It is thought desirable
to bring our relations with Kashmeer, Yarkund, and
Afghanistan more under the direct control of the
Government of India, without taking away the
authority of the Lieutenant-Governor.

The first annual meeting of the Anti-Vaccination
League was held in Manchester to-day. There were
representatives present from London, Liverpool, Leeds,
Sheffield, Darlington, Bristol, and many of the Lanca-
shire towns. Professor F. W. Newman presided. The
report stated that several branch leagues had already
been formed. A resolution was adopted, declaring
" that as the practice of vaccination has been adopted
and fostered by the Government of this country without
due investigation, and enforced in defiance of the common
sense of the people, this meeting pledges itself to use all
legitimate means to obtain the repeal of the Vaccination
Acts." A petition was adopted for the immediate repeal
of the Acts. Nearly all the speakers, who were very
numerous, stated that they had been repeatedly prosecu-
ted for refusing to have their children vaccinated.

THE CHANNEL YACHT RACE,

In a few days the people in the South of Ireland
will have an opportunity of witnessing a pretty
spectacle, .that of two yachts trimmed with balloon
sails and furnished with every article of racing gear
starting on their essay to breast 'the great
Atlantic, and to prove in one case or the
other their right to claim the championship of
the wide ocean they traverse. The vessels Cambria
and Dauntless will be at their moorings off the Old
Head of Kinsale at mid-day on Monday, and at that
time the race, to Sandy Hook, an island off New
Jersey, 25 miles south of New York, will be com-
menced. It is thought in Americathattheawards, a ser-
vice of plate, value £250, and the championship of the
Atlantic will be won by Mr. A shbury's yacht, although
it is believed Mr. James Gordon Bennett will leave no
effort untried to secure the fourth victory of the
Americans in the present year, and his own second
victory in a transatlantic struggle. The Cambria
is now at Queenstown taking in stores. The move-
ments of the rival vessel have not become known.

JACK ASHORE.

All the world knows a sailor in port is the most

helpless being in existence. On board ship let him
be the steadiest, the most careful, and the trimmest
Al that ever walked a deck, the touch of land seems
to have a stupifying effect on his mental capacity,
and he straightway becomes a prey to any land-
lubber whom chance may throw in his way. Sailor's
homes have been erected for his special benefit, the
authorities have surrounded him with safeguards of
protection, it has bean made dangerous for crimps to
board ships in order to take charge of poor Jack,
but in spite of all precautionary measures, some how
or other he continues to run into the jaws of the
land-shark. A case in point was exposed the other
day at the Thames Police Court, when two men,
named Patrick Kelly and Michael Macarthy, were
charged with stealing £lB from John Brooks, a
seaman, so far back as August last year. Brooks
having arrived from a voyage, as soon as he received
his money, started on a cruise, in the course of which
he tenni with the prisoners. Several public-houses were
visited, but the landlord of one of these refused to serve
them, and cautioned the sailor against his compa-
nions. lie had not proceeded many yards from the
house, when the two men hustled him into a back
street, and while one bound his arms the other rifled

his pockets, and having knocked their victim sense-
less, the two fellows made their escape. The sailors'
stay in the country was considerably abridged
by his loss, but his misfortunes seem to have left
their mark on his mind, and on his return
he ferretted out his spoilers, and brought them
to justice. John Brooks, will, it is to be hoped,
be more careful when he sets out on his next
land voyage.

M. DE LESSEPS IN LIVERPOOL.

Addresses were presented at the Liverpool Town Hall
yesterday to M. de Lesseps from the Chamber of Com-
merce and the East India and - China Association. A
very large number of commercial men assembled on the
occasion, and M. and Madame de Lesseps were loudly
cheered. Madame de Lesseps, with a few ladies, occupied
a seat in the orchestra in the great ball room. In reply to
the addresses M. de Lesseps said that if he might judge
from the efforts of the past Liverpool would not have to
wait very long before her commercial relations were
doubled with India,China, and other countries of the East.
He assured those present that the Suez Canal Company
would do all in their power to meet the requirements of
commercial men and to fulfil the important destiny of
that undertaking in regard to the material and moral pro-
gress of nations. M. de Lesseps afterwards went on
'Change, where he was very warmly greeted, and Mr.
Lange, who accompanied him made a few remarks, thank-
ing the merchants and shipowners for the very handsome
welcome which they had given to M. de Lesseps. M. de
Lesseps was to leave for London this morning.

THE NEWARK RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
A.rtelegram from Newark, relating to the recent acci-

broken trucks without accident. The foreman of the
jury, backed by six of the jurymen, has made application
for the foreman engineer of the Great Northern Railway,
to attend and give evidence at the adjourned inquest to-
morrow with regard to axles.
