APPLICATION FOR A WIFE.

One Enoch Bailey, who has settled somewhere out in
America, where women are scarce, finds himself in need
of a wife, and so he addressed a letter to the chairman of
the Mansfield Board of Guardians, asking him, on his
honour, to find for him a wife of moral character,
who would on arriving in America, find a
" good home, and a kind and affectionate family."
The letter having appeared in one of the Sheffield
papers provoked the following reply which was read at
the Board meeting on Tuesday : To the clerk of the
Mansfield Board of Guardians.—Parkg,ate, May 31st, 187.
Sar i Saen in the Shefeld endependent a advrsment for
a Wife to Go to america you humble servent Will actcept
the offer of Enoch Bailey. Park Gat, Ner Rother-

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT MAIDENHEAD.
On Thursday a coachman and his wife and, a groom, in
the employment of Sir William Clayton, were proceeding
in a trap from Marlow to Ascot, when the horse took
fright on the Marlow-road, and started off at full gallop.
The coachman was immediately thrown out, and his
leg was broken. The horse, still continuing his flight,
rushed at great speed through the town of Maidenhead,
and came in contact with a horse and trap which was
standing at the door of Dr. Montgomery's house. The trap
was torn from the shafts, and the horse, whose head
was dashed against the stone-work under the rails, was
killed on the spot. At this point the coachman's wife
was thrown out of Sir William Clayton's trap, and
was dreadfully cut about the face and head. The
horse still continued on its course at full gallop, until
he got to Queen-street, where he dashed into Messrs.
Mason and Neat's auction mart, smashing the plate-glass
window in that establishment. The groom, who kept his
hold up to this point, was then thrown out, and was
severely injured. The horse was stopped at' last, but not
before he had kicked the trap to pieces. Those who were
injured by the accident are progressing favourably.

MAZZINI AND -G-ARIBALDI:

The Roman correspondent of the Tablet says that a dis-
sension between Mazzini and Garibaldi is said to be the
cause of the halt in the revolutionary plans. Garibaldi
will not leave Caprera, and will hear of nothing
save an attack on Rome at any cost or hazard.
Mazzini, on the contrary (as in 1867), says the hour
for Rome has not yet come, and insists on beginning
with the destruction of the Italian monarchy. Mazzini is
also at issue with most of the revolutionary committees on
account of their rapacity, their hatred of order and low vice.
His followers are almost all young enthusiasts of the student
class, and workmen who accept his theories blindly and hold
•him to be a prophet. Garibaldi is,• however, far more popu-
lar in Italy, where Mazzini's idealiiim is at a discount; and
where the far quattriiii" theory is the " primum mobile"
of the greater part of his followers. An expedition on
Rome, therefore, and prospects of " looting" the churches
and convents, are far more easily understood than the
Utopian theories of the old conspirator of Lugano. A.
reconciliation is, however, en train, and will be very dan-
gerous to the peace of Italy this autumn.

MR. GLADSTONE'S PROPOSALS.

It is using a mild expression to say that Mr.
Gladstone's important speech declaring the inten-
tions of the Government on the Education
Bill has been received with a good deal
of astonishment. The Times blames the Go-
vernment for employing mystery. Mr. Forster,
it says, went down to Bradford in the vaca-

tion ; he met representatives of the party who have
been the chief opponents of his bill, and he had an
excellent opportunity for stating generally the
manner in which the Government proposed to meet
their objections. Instead of doing this, and
allowing his plan to be quietly considered, he
contented himself with a mysterious reticence on
the only points of vital importance. "The effect is

that the House meets to consider the bill• in a some-
what excited frame of mind, and when it proves that
the changes proposed are really considerable, there
is au opportunity for expressing surprise, uncer-
tainty, and resentment—an opportunity, in short, for
still further embarrassing a sufficiently embarrassed
question. Mr. Gladstone justly said that it is only
by a general spirit of co-operation that we can hope
to pass the measure at, all this year. We cannot
say that the Government have set a good example in
delaying to the last moment the exposition of their
amendments."

The Standard is quite furious. The Opposition, it
says, came down prepared to support Mr. Forster's
bill, and it found that another bill, quite different
from the first, had been prepared. The effect of
accepting the proposal that in the new schools to be
founded by the school boards,and dependent upon the
rates, all religious formularies peculiar to any special
sect or communion shall be excluded,is to assimilate the se
schools to the British and Foreign Society's schools.
Where a dissenting school board appoints a dissenting
teacher, he can teach according to dissenting doctrine
and usage, which do not require or allow of formu-
laries. A Church master, on the other hand, will
be precluded from giving to Church children instruc-

tion in the forms in which the Church has seen fit to
embody her doctrine.
The Daily News thinks the solution, if it is a solu-

tion, is one which nobody had suggested, and
nobody anticipated. It seems to hold that the
changes spoil the bill. " Instead of being
a measure for inaugurating a new system of
national education, it will be only a bill to sup-
plement the deficiencies of the present system.
Instead of providing a method by which the whole
national system could gradually pass under local ad-
ministration, and be developed into a great, uniform,
elastic system of English common schools, it will
only set up another system by the side of the pre-
sent, and will permit them to go on together side by
side for ever. We shall now have two systems of
national education, neither of them capable of absorb-
ing the other, but capable of much clashing with each
other."

THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS.

The answer of Mr. Gladstone to Sir James
Elphinstone's question with reference to the arrest of
Mr, Edmunds gives anything but satisfaction to that
gentleman's sympathisers. The Premier justifies
what has been done " under the authority of the
law" by stating that the Crown is not expressly
named in the Debtors' Act of 1869, and he therefore
leaves it to be understood that as Mr. Edmunds is a
debtor of the crown, and not of a subject of the
crown, he suffers imprisonment in person

resolutions by Mr. Bingham. It authorises the President
to remonstrate against the barbarous manner in which the
war in Cuba was conducted; and if he should deem it expe-

the laws of civilised warfare.

A THEATRICAL SLANDER CASE.

In the Court of Common Pleas, Lord Chief Justice
Bovill, with a special jury, had before him yesterday the
case of " Chatterton v. Nelson." The plaintiff in this
case was the lessee of Drury Lane Theatre. and the
defendant, Mr. Marsh Nelson, was the architect
and surveyor to that establishment. The action was to
recover damages for slander. The case for
the plaintiff was that in June, 1869, a Mr. Robinson
had a contract to redecorate the theatre for the
sum of £3,210, and in reference to it he saw the defendant,
who made statements to the effect that if Mr. Robinson
did the work he world probably lose his money, and that
it was likely that a Chancery suit would be commenced
against the plaintiff, and he would be turned out of pos-
session. At the conclusion of the opening speech, a con-
sultation took place between the learned counsel. Mr.
Hawkins said that what Mr. Nelson said had been entirely
misunderstood, that he never made any imputation what-
ever upon Mr. Chatterton, and that there was not the
slightest ground for any imputation. His lordship subse-
quently saw the counsel in his private room, and on his
return said that he trusted that everybody was perfectly
satisfied that there was no imputation of any kind resting
upon Mr. Chatterton, but there were certain legal diffi-
culties in the way of the plaintiff, and therefore it had
been arranged that a juror should be withdraWn. A juror
was then withdrawn.

THE PEERS AND THE LAND BILL.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the debate
on the Land Bill in the Lords is the reception given
to those provisions for enabling tenants to buy land,
which are known as Mr. Bright's scheme. Nobody
raises any serious objection to them. Lord Salisbury
positively approves of them. Lord Cairns observes :
" I wish to say at once that in my opinion there is
no objection to them in point of principle. If there
be an objection to them, it is one not of principle,
but of pdlicy and expediency." This ob-
jection of policy and expediency Lord Cairns
defines as the danger of sub-letting. He thinks
the testimony of authorities is almost unvarying in
declaring that when an occupier becomes an owner
he also raises himself to the coveted position of land-
lord ; he cultivates a small portion of the land, and
lets the remainder. Lord Cairns fears, too, that
Government would be placed in an invidious
position if, prohibiting such subdivision, it drew
down on itself all the odium now lavished on
stringent, and,' therefore, unpopular landlords. And
not only will this odium be incurred if the Govern-
ment prevent subletting, but it will be extremely
difficult to do so. " Some of your lordships who are
acquainted with the position of things in Ireland
know what a task it is to prevent subletting or
assignment. You know, or your agents would tell
you, that it is one of the most difficult operations
they have to perform. You will have every possible
scheme and device resorted to in order to produce the
reality without the appearance of subletting. Now,
how is the Board of Works in Dublin to cope with
such proceedings of their tenants in every part of the
country, proceedings with which local agents would
have the greatest difficulty in grappling ?"

REPRESENTATION OF BRISTOL.

Mr. Odger decided last night that, under the circum-
stances, he will not contest the seat vacant at Bristol. A
motion requesting the members of Radical associations to
abstain from voting for Mr. Hodgson was lost by one vote.
The Conservatives met yesterday, and postponed action
until Mr. Odger's determination was known. The
question of bring,ing forward a candidate is not yet settled.
The Liberal Association of Bristol have informed Mr.
Odger of their inability to agree to his proposal that if he
retired from the contest for the representation of the city,
they should pledge themselves to bring forward a direct
representative of labour at the very next vacancy; firstly,
because the association could not bind the Liberal party
in the choice of a candidate at a future election ; and
secondly, because such compact, if possible, would come
within the meaning of the Corrupt Practices Act. Mr.
Odger's resolution thereupon is not yet known.

THE GOVERNMENT EDUCATION BILL.

A meeting of Nonconformists was held in Leeds on
Friday respecting the Government amendments on the
Education Bill. The Mayor of Leeds presided, and said
ae thought the bill was now worse than it was before. A
:esolution was passed expressing an opinion that the
amendments were inadequate, and that religious instruc-
:ion should be provided by voluntary effort only, but
that rather than postpone legislation, it would be better
co accept Bible teaching without denominational tenetss
subject to a time-table conscience clause. The motion was
supported by several speakers and opposed by, Mr.
Frederick Baines, brother of Mr. Baines, M.P., and
Others. The Rev. E. Conder said that he would rather
that the Government should lay down what was to be
taught as religion than that they should exclude religion.
The resolution was carried with only a few dissentients.
It was also resolved that school boards ought to be estab-
lished in every district, and that it should be imperative
en them to enforce attendance.

A meeting of Protestant Nonconformists was held in
Liverpool, on Friday, when a resolution was adopted re-
cognising the value of the amendments proposed by Mr.
Forster to be introduced into the Elementary Education
Bill, and also of the willingness manifested by Mr. Glad-
stone in his statement to the House of Commons on
Thursday night to adopt further modification.

THE STORM.

An enormous destruction of property and loss of life has
resulted from the storm on Thursday night. A short distance
from the town of Croydon is a village Called Coulsdon, in
which stood a large range of farm premises belonging to
Mr. G. Smith, a farmer, who employed a number of agri-
cultural labourers. The estate was called " Stoat's Nest
Farm." The proprietor had been for the last few days
speaking to his neighbours as to the great good a thunder-
storm and a heavy shower of rain would do to his crops.
Unfortunately the electric fluid struck and set fire to one
of the stacks cf hay containing 50 waggon loads, three
straw stacks each of 20 loads; a corn shed, 50 feet long and
20 wide ; two stables, of 20 feet and 30 feet long, and
another 40 feet by 30 ; also a granary, certainly only one
floor high, but 50 feet long, and something approximating
to 25 feet wide. The wind drove the flames into the pri-
vate residence of Mr. J. Kent, and before an engine had time
to get to the spot the premises were burned for the greater
part out, and the remainder fell with a crash to the ground.
Fortunately the whole of the horses had been rescued, but
at no little danger to those who were bold enough to ven-
ture into the stables. It is reported that a man named
Joshua Martin was struck down by the lightning close by
and killed, and that a girl near Foot's Cray had shared a
similar fate. A private residence belonging to Mr. T.
Charman was also seriously damaged by fire. Another
fire was caused at Bridge Wharf, Harrow-road,
the property of Mr. Putney, a timber merchant. Owing
to the violence of the storm the rain fell in such streams
that a number of lime sacks beca me ignited. Fortunately,
owing to the timely arrival of assistance, the fire was soon
subdued.

At Liverpool it rained nearly all day on Thursday, and
the disturbed electrical condition of the atmosphere inter-
rupted the working of the telegraphs so much as to cause
serious inconvenience to the newspapers, whose intelli-
gence from London was much delayed. A Cambridge
telegram states that several fires were caused by the
lightning in that county. A highly beneficial change has
taken place in the weather in Norfolk, the rain having
fallen rather copiously. In Somersetshire the tempest
was accompanied by a hailstorm. A telegram from Win-
canton in that county states that in that district thou-
sands'of panes of glass were broken by the hail. Masses
of ice fell• which measured 5i inches in circumference.

THE PRISONS' MINISTERS' ACT.

The Dublin Freeman, in referring to the report of the
Prisons' Ministers' Act, says that one advantage of this
Act will be that the prison authorities will be bound by
law to fix the salary according to a scale from which they
cannot depart, or if they do, the Queen's Bench will bring
them back. The Catholics of England have succeeded in
defeating the justices, and wresting from them an
obnoxious power, of which they were certain to make
liberal use, and they did. By perseverance (and we must
add, the cordial support of the Liberal party), the English
Catholics have succeeded in reversing the policy of 1863.

LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART.

The Atheneum says the pictures and other objects of
art which belonged to Mr. Dickens are to be sold by
auction by Messrs. Christie and Manson.—" Lothair," it
seems, will have to undergo the fate of other names that
are often on people's lips. It has been registered as the
name of a new perfume by an Irish firm.—Mr. Neill,
United States Consul at Dublin, has in the press "Patrick
Copland," based upon manuscripts and original autho-
rities.—At the recent sale of Dr. Todd's library, Wace's
works, with his manuscript additions, fetched 2450, the
highest price ever given for a book in Ire-
land.—Professor Mahaffy, of Trinity College, Dublin,
is engaged upon a history of the wars of
Alexander the Great, which will shortly appear.--
On the withdrawal of " Mary Warner" from the boards
of the Olympic, a new drama, founded on the romantic
poem of Undine," and written in verse by Mr. Robert
Reece, will be produced.—Herr J. Wagner, the well-
known Vientse actor, is dead.—Mr. Walter ontgomery
has reached San Francisco, and has appeared in "Hamlet."

THE SPANISH THRONE.

Petitions have been presented to the Cortes in favour
of the Duke of Montpensier and of Marshal Espartero.
The Cortes will shortly close its sittings, as the number of
Deputies attending them grows less and less. The Regent,
it is thought, will not leave Madrid until the Cortes have
risen. The Carlists, it is said, are preparing for a move-

Magnus of Chatham, in memory of his only son, was
:onsecrated on Friday with much ceremony by Dr. Adler,

(lieges and duties attending their possession of so beauti-
ful a place of worship.

Mr. HoDusox moved the adjournment of the House.

Another division took place, with a like result.
Propositions of a similsr character were repeatedly
made, and it was half-past three when the House divided,
on the motion of the member for the University of Cam-
bridge. The motion was lost, and the House went into
committee pro forw4.
The House adjourned at a quarter to four.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS-THIS MORNING.

UNSECTABIAN EDUCATION.

The Times thinks it is impossible to prescribe an un-
sectarian education by Act of Parliament. It is probable
that the desires of many of those who have clamoured for
it would be satisfied if a rough-and-ready order were
issued, "No parson in the schools," but they have
been ashamed of so palpable a confession of their
secret wishes. A conscience clause, a time-table
conscience clause, no catechisms or formulas' the
Bible without note or comment,- -these are the devices
that have been suggested, among many, to insure the un-
sectarian character of the schools contemplated by the
bilL We talk of driving a coach and four through anAct
of Parliament, but as for these guarantees of unsec-
tarianism, a resolute teacher could drive any sectarian
creed he pleased through the whole of them. If religion
is forced into a corner, it is apt to become virulent ; if
we banish public and recognised text-books, we open
the way to the unchecked liberty of private teaching.
Mr. Disraeli was perfectly right whet, he talked of the
new order of sacerdotalism of schools teachers. The
school mistress who taught her pupils, " Two and
one make three, except in the case of the Trinity," com-
bined religion and arithmetic in a formulary of her own
construction. Those who trust to the clauses of an Act
of Parliament, or even to the supervision of the Privy
Council, for the security of unsectarianismirely upon
broken reeds.

MR. GLADSTONE'S PROPOSALS.

It is using a mild expression to say that Mr.
Gladstone's important speech declaring the inten-
tions of the Government on the Education
Bill has been received with a good deal
of astonishment. The 'nines blames the Go-
vernment for employing mystery. Mr. Forster,
it says, went down to Bradford in the vaca-
tion ; he met representatives of the party who have
been the chief opponents of his bill, and he had an
excellent opportunity for stating geherally the
manner in which the Government proposed to meet
their objections. Instead of doing this, and
allowing his plan to be quietly considered, he
contented himself with a mysterious reticence on
the only points of vital importance. " The effect is
that the House meets to consider the bill in a some-
what excited frame of mind, and when it proves that
the changes proposed are really considerable, there
is an opportunity for expressing surprise, uncer-
tainty, and resentment—an opportunity, in short, for
still nirther embarrassing a sufficiently embarrassed
question. Mr. Gladstone justly said that it is only
by a general spirit of co-operation that we can hope
to pass the measure at all this year. We cannot
say that the Government have set a good example in
delaying to the last moment the exposition of their
amendments."

The Standard is quite furious. The Opposition, it
says, came down prepared to support Mr. Forster's
bill, and it found that another bill, quite different
from the first, had been prepared. The effect of
accepting the proposal that in the new schools to be
founded by the school boards,and dependent upon the
rates, all religious formularies peculiar to any special
sect or communion shall b e excluded,is to assimilate these
schools to the British and Foreign Society's schools.
Where a dissenting school board appoints a dissenting
teacher, he can teach according to dissenting doctrine
and usage, which do not require or allow of formu-
lares. A Church master, on the other hand, will
be precluded from giving to Church children instruc-
tion in the forms in which the Church has seen fit to
embody her doctrine.
The Daily News thinks the solution, if it is a solu-
tion, is one which nobody had suggested, and
nobody anticipated. It seems to hold that the
changes spoil the bill. " Instead of being
a measure for inaugurating a new system of
national education, it will be only a bill to sup-
plement the deficiencies of the present system.
Instead of providing a method by which the whole
national system could gradually pass under local ad-
ministration, and be developed into a great, uniform,
elastic system of English common schools, it will
only set up another system by the side of the pre-
sent, and will permit them to go on together side by
side for ever. We shall now have two systems of
national education, neither of them capable of absorb-
ing the other, but capable of much clashing with each
other."

SHIPWRECKS AND LOSS OF LIFE.

A telegram received at South Shields on Thursday an-
nounces that the screw steamer John Dryden, of North
Shields, belonging to Nelson, Donks, and Co., of that
town, had been wrecked off the coast of Abyssinia. The
crew were all saved, but it is belisvedthat her cargo of cot-
ton, valued at £lOO,OOO, and also the vessel, is lost. The
vessel was returning from Bombay, when in consequence of
her coals running short, she tried to make for the port of
Hushatoon, but was driven ashore. This vessel was built
recently at Stockton. Both vessel and cargo are insured,
principally in the London clubs, but only partially in the
north. Intelligence has also been received that the
barque Newbiggen, of North Shields, was burned in
the Sea of Marmora last Sunday. It is stated the crew
are saved.

A dismasted ship was seen off Land's End yesterday
morning at five o'clock in tow of three mackerel boats.

BRIGANDAGE IN SPAIN.

The escape of the Messrs. Bonell from the hor-
rible fate that befell the victims of the Greek
brigands is due to the admirable precautions taken
by the Spanish Government, and to the able manlier
in which Mr. Layard acted on behalf of the captives.
. correspondent of the Times, writing from Madrid,
states that after the capture, the brigands discussed
the possibility of obtaining a ransom for the
two gentlemen, and one of the scoundrels pro-
posed to make a short shrift of the two
prisoners. But the possibility of obtaining the money
was too great to allow of such a step. The bands
seems to have been tracked by the Government
agents with admirable precision, and the success of
the negotiations was consummated by the practical
.application of the old adage of setting a thief to catch
a thief. When the elder Bondi' was liberated in
order to get the money, one of the bandits
was in the crowd assembled at Cadiz
to see the steamer off, and the polished
ruffian, with an audacity that may be seen on the
stage, but rarely in other places, shook hands with
Mr. Bonell, saying, " So, Senor Bonell, I see you are
taking a voyage to Gibraltar." It was fortunate,
too, that the authorities at Gibraltar were not reduced
to that state of impecuniosity in which the Spanish
Government appears to revel ; and after the state-
ment that the Imperial Treasury may find it diffi-
cult to repay the £5,000 advanced by Sir Richard
Airey, only part of which has been recovered from
the brigands, we imagine General Prim will require
a longer period than three months to find a King
A throne is a good thing, but a throne and a civil
list is infinitely better.

EFFECTS OF THE STORM.

Much damage was done by the storm of Thursday night
in the Bolton district. The lightning struck a dwelling
at Dembhill and set it on fire, but the flames were soon
extinguished. In Bolton the main sewer burst, making a
gap in the street eight yards long, and endangering the
co-operative stores. Five farmers' houses in the neigh-
bourhood were flooded, and the inmates resoued from the
bedroom windows. The Farmworth and Ashley Bridge
suffered considerably.

BY FIRE.

A destructive fire broke out onFriday night at a spinning
sill belonging to Messrs. John Hoile and Co., Dundee.
The fire originated at a breaker machine, but the cause
cannot be explained. The supply of water was very
defective, owing the recent drought, and in two hours
from the commencement of the fire the building was
totally destroyed. The damages, which are estimated at
between 22.000 and £3,000, will be met by insurance.
