MORE SECRET HISTORY.

The New York Times special correspondent at Ogdens-
burg, in a letter giving some important additional secret his-
tory of the recent Fenian raid, says :—" I wrote you
in March in relation to this affair. At that time O'Neill
was here getting his arms and equipments to the front,
but no one outside of the Fenian organisation took stock
in the rumours then in circulation. He told the Brother-
hood here that he wanted no men to fight from this
country, but at the proper time he wanted them to furnish
transportation, which they agreed to do, and they per-
formed their agreement well. This thing, though now
ended for all time in a great failure, was well planned,
but most miserably executed. The intention was not to
fight at either Richard's Farm or Trout River. Both
were intended as feints. The plan was to get across the
line at both places and entrench. They intended to have
the line close behind, and hoped to be able to draw the
whole available Canadian forces—volunteers and regulars
—to their front. For this purpose every railroad in
Canada was left intact. Had everything worked well
up to this point, another force, by steamer and
rail and every mode of conveyance, would have
come to Ogdensburg, crossed the St. Lawrence,
seized the Ottawa Railroad, and started for that
city. With the crossing of the St. Lawrence the. rail-
roads would have been torn up all over the Dominion.
Ten men, on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday night,
could have crossed the river, both above and below Pres-
cott, and cut the Grand Trunk, so that a single soldier
could have passed up or down without the least danger
of arrest or bodily injury. Up to Tuesday night last no
one here but the Fenians suspected a raid that day ; they
received their orders, and before midnight two hundred
teams were moving down the river. They had in this
section and in Vermont arms enough for 30,000 men.
There is now secreted somewhere in this direction a
splendid battery of six guns. About 5,000 stand of arms
have been seized near Fort Covington. The result' again
shews that " The best made plans of mice and men gang
aft aglee." It requires some stamina to be an Irishman
on this frontier now. It has been a worse crime for them
to fail than it was to embark on their unlawful mission.
Had the plan been successfully executed this whole people
would have been completely demoralised and oblivious to
the obligations of good citizens, and shouted " Go it,
Fenians 1" As long as there was any prospect of a good
snug fight we kept drifting away from our duties,

COMPULSORY PILOTAGE.

The select committee of the House of Commons ap-
pointed to inquire into the merits of the Government bill
to abolish compulsory pilotage, was engaged yesterday to-
day in the examination of witnesses from Falmouth and
Grimsby in favour of the bill. Mr. Shaw Lefevre occupied
the chair, and the cross examination of the witnesses was
as usual led by Mr. Greaves on the part of Liverpool,
which town was opposed to the bill.
Mr. Henry Fox, a gentleman who is connected with an
eminent mercantile and shipping firm of the port of
Falmouth, and who is a prominent member
of the Chamber of Commerce in that town,
stated in reply to questions from Mr. Lefevre, that
in the course of the year probably three thousand foreign
vessels touched at the port of Falmouth and entered the
harbour, where they either lay for orders or for shelter,
Falmouth being one of the safest harbours in the world.
The consequence was that in the fine weather the pilots
under the compulsory system made so much money
that they absolutely refused to go out to sea
during the winter months, and he had known of
cases in which vessels had been known in dark and stormy
weather to enter the harbour with the flag flying for a
pilot, while all the time the pilot boats were lying
idly at anchor in the harbour, the men positively
refusing to go to her assistance. He also
read a letter from Lloyd's agent in that town,
sliming the amount of inconvenience occasioned to
the shipping by the delay in getting pilots, and expressing
a conviction that the work would be far better done if the
compulsory system were abolished, and the men thrown
on the voluntary system. He added that the Chamber of
Commerce of Falmouth fully supported that view of the
case. Evidence was then given from the port
of Grimsby to the effect that the shipping
and mercantile interests of that port were seriously
damaged by the compulsory system, and one witness, M.
Henri Wosd, shipowner, said that he repaid £l,OOO for
pilotage, and he estimated that at least one-half of it
would be saved if the compulsory system were abolished.
He complained that it was a great injury, not only to
the coasting, but the foreign shipping, and that if it were
abolished, although there might be fewer pilots, the
men themselves would be benefited and the shipping in-
terest better cared for, and this evidence was confirmed
by Mr. Oates, a merchant of Grimsby, after which some'
evidence in favour of the bill was given by Captain John- '
son, of the coastguard service, who had a great general
experience and a particular knowledge of the Bristol
Channel. He was against any exemptions.
The committee then adjourned.

THE MURDERS IN GREECE.

Mr. EASTWICK asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if he would explain how it happened that
Mr. Erskine was left for some time without the aid of any
Secretary of Legation during late events in Greece ; how
soon after the capture of Mr. Herbert was known Mr.
Watson started for Athens from Constantinople ; and
what measures were taken by the Turkish authorities to
prevent Takos Arvanitakos from escaping into Turkish
territory. -
Mr. OTwAY circumstantially replied to the first part of
the question, and in reference to the latter portion said,
that immediately the Turkish authorities were informed
of the events which had taken place in Greece, they gave
strict orders that the frontiers should be watched, and
orders were given with regard to the capture of the
brigands should they be found on the Turkish
territory. On the 9th inst. Mr. Erskine reported that
Takos and his band had entered Turkish territory, and the
Turkish authorities immediately sent down stringent
erders for their pursuit and capture.
THE RANK OF CORNET.

Mr. DICKSON asked the Secretary of State for Wai
whether it was his intention to abolish the rank of cornet
and ensign, notwithstanding the promise made to the
House on March 14th that this should not be done pend-
ing the report of the Royal Commission now sitting to
consider the purchase system.
Mr. CARDWELL replied in the negative.
THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS.

Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the First Lord of the Trea-
sury on what ground and under what authority Mr.
Leonard Edmunds had been arrested, and was now con-
fined in Whitecross-street Prison, the Act 32 and 33 Vic.
c. 62 declaring " That no person shall, after the com
mencement of this Act, be arrested or imprisoned for
making default in payment of a sum of money."
Mr. GLADSTONE explained that Mr. Edmunds was in-
debted to the Crown in a sum of £7,904, and the autho-
rity under which he was taken was the authority of the
law, which had not been altered in respect to Crown
debts, by any recent legislation. He had been informed
that Mr. Edmunds called in_ question the legality of the
act, and had applied for his discharge. Consequently the
motion of legality would be immediately determined.

TUE TUG OF WAR.

The Educational contest in the House of Com-
mons will come on in earnest this evening. Upon
the temper in which it will be commenced, the hope
of practical legislation of any kind upon this most
important question during the present session will
be entirely dependent. An opposition to a certain
extent strong, and in a great measure irritated
is arrayed—out of doors—against the scheme
advanced by Mr. Forster, in the name of
the Government. How far that outer op-
position may be enabled to find supporters in
the House among the more independent of the
national representatives yet remains to be discovered.
The principal difficulty still is in reference to the
vitally important matter of religious instruction.
Mr. Dixon proposes that . religious and secular in-
struction shall, at each school, be imparted in sepa-
rate apartments. At many schools, however,
there will be only one apartment. I❑ which case—
What then ? Mr. Forster would reply, no doubt,
Why, then, the Time Table Conscience Clause
will come into effect as a means for extrication from
the dilemma! Those who are fearful that another
year may be lost without the hope of legislation upon
the matter at all, insist upon it, that rather than run
that hazard, the bill, as it is, should be summarily
passed, and amended afterwards. A proposition, to
our mind, however, altogether too rash and venture-
some. Rather than this, say we, delay one year
longer.

PRESBYTERIAN IRRECONCILABLES.

The Presbyterian General Assembly held a meeting at
Philadelphia on the Ist of June, when the delegation
appointed by this Assembly to visit the General Assembly
of the Southern Presbyterian Church, lately in session at
Louisville, presented a report and communication from
the Southern Assembly in reply to overtures of this body.
The delegation had been sent to procure mutual friendly
correspondence. The communication froM the Southern
Church states that that Church does not approve of union
with the Northern Church, because it is a total surrender
of all fundamental doctrines, and embraces all shades of
belief. The Smithern Church is the only surviving heir
of true, unfailing testimonies, and there are impassable
barriers to official intercourse between the two Churches.
The delegation bringing the communication also sub-
mitted their own report, shewing what action had been
taken at Louisville. Several of the representatives then
present made 'speeches shelving what the spirit of the
Southern Assembly. had been. . It was thought that the
()Onion of that Assembly was not the opinion of the
Southern churches. The report was received, and the
committee was discharged.

TURNPIKES.

Sir WATICIN WILLIAMS WYNN asked the Secretary of
State for the Home Department with reference to the
Turnpike Acts Continuance Bill, whether he was in a posi-
tion to state what were the intentions of the Government
as to the introduction of a bill for dealing generally with
Turnpike tolls in England and Wales.
Mr. Bnucz said he was sorry he could not give a clear
answer to the hon. gentleman. Owing to the press of
business a great many matters that had been
mentioned in the Royal Speech on the open-
ing of Parliament had not even been laid
before Parliament, and others had been greatly
delayed. All they could do under such circumstances
was to select such as should be produced during the pre-
sent session, but that selection had not yet taken place.
THE- EMBASSY HOUSE AT CONSTANTINOPLE.
Mr. RYLANDS asked the Secretary to the Treasury
whether, in the event of the rebuilding of the Embassy
House at Constantinople being determined upon, he
would lay upon the table of the House the estimates of
the work proposed to be done before any contracts for the
same are entered into or sanctioned by the Treasury.
Mr. STANSFELD said that should it be determined to re-
build the Embassy house at Constantinople, he would
undertake it should not be done until the estimate was
laid before Parliament.
THE CHINESE EMBASSY

Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, whether Mr. M`Leavy Brown, ex-
Chinese Secretary to the Legation at Pekin, and private
secretary to the British Minister, and now in charge of
the Chinese Embassy to Europe had resigned his office
or was still in the service of the British Government; and
if so, whether on the return of the Chinese Embassy to
Pekin he would be permitted to resume his place in the
British service.

Mr. OTWAY said Mr. M'Leavy Brown had received the
permission of the Secretary of State to remain in the ser-
vices of the Chinese Embassy, without receiving his pay
from England, until he was called upon by the Secretary
of State to return to his duties at Pekin.
TROOPS IN TIPPERARY.

Mr. HERON asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was the intention of the Government to comply
with the request of the Board of Guardians of the Tip-
perary Union and to remove from the workhouse of Tip-
perary the troops now stationed there for more than three
years, the continual occupation of the workhouse by ti •
military being, in the opinion of the Board of Guar-
dians, injurious to the health of the inmates from over-
crowding, and prejudicial to.the discipline of the establish-
ment.

Mr. C. FORTESCITE said he must admit that there was
some reason for complaint, but it was absolutely necessary
to keep the soldiers still in the house at Tipperary,
He was not able to say when they would be withdrawn,
or whether the War authorities had determined to build
barracks in that part ofEreland.

THE CORK STRIKES.

The Dublin Freemaa of to-day (Wednesday), com-
menting on the strikes in Cork, says ;—" Peace has been
restored in Cork after an interval of violence and an
amount of injury to person and property, which reveals a
social condition the reverse of satisfactory. Men
have a right to combine for the protection of their
labour, which is their only capital. If they are
dissatisfied with the conditions on which that labour
is remunerated the law empowers them to exact better
conditions. But then it must be by respecting the rights
of others. Though tranquillity is re-established a good
understanding has not been restored between employer
and employed. Dublin was never remarkable for
strikes, and it never lost any branch of trade from
that cause alone. It is now, and has long been., as
free from trade disputes as any city in the United
Kingdom. Harmony prevails between capital and labour,
although the 'United Trades Association occasionally re-
minds the public of transgressions on the part of some
employers more self-seeking than the rest, the best under-
standing prevails between masters and workmen, and Is
not likely to be interrunted."

SUPPRESSION OF BEIGANbAGE.— A. dispatch
from Constantinople states that the Hellenic Government
has proposed to the Porte to arrange the bases of a com-
mon agreement between the two Governments in order to
effect the final eradication of brigandage on the frontiers.
The Turkish Government, in accepting these overtures,
was said to have promised that Phatiades Bey, its repre-
sentative at Athens, should have full powers conferred
upon him to carry out the negotiations.
•

THE BEETHOVEN FESTiVAL.—This monster musi-
cal treat has, so far, turned out a great success. In the
vast volume of music required to fill the ambitious pro-
gramme everything may not be in all perfection, but the
general effect is certainly superb. In an affair so hastily
gotton up connoisseurs and delicate critics may find some-
thing to complain of, but that the performance is popular
and gives'great pleasures to the masses of the people there
can be no doubt. Therefore we call it a decided success.
It affords a grand attraction for our country cousins, espe-
cially as there is a performance by day as well as by night.
Great affairs of this kind leave a good deal of benefit be-
hind, apart from the large amount of money they bring
into the city. There are expansive ideas about them,
pleasant social intercourses springs from them, and art
gathers friends, admirers and students out of them. Mon-
ster musical festivals, therefore, are not all noise nor all
sensation. There is a great store of good at the bottom of
them. We are glad that this commemoration of Beethoven
has all the elements of success in it.—. New York Herald.
VIRGINIA.—The corps cadets of the- Virginia
Military School, Lexington, will give a grand ball to the
graduating class on the ninety-fourth anniversary of
American Independence, Monday, July 4. It is pleasant
to see that so interesting an event is to be celebrated upon
so patriotic a day. We congratulate the ancient Domi-
nion upon " old times coming back once more." In this
connection we may state that the Washington Literary
Society of the University of Virginia have a celebration
on the 27th instant, as a handsomely engraved note of in-
vitation assures us. These are evidences that the right
kind of reconstruction is taking root in Virginia, and that
. the blusterings of frothy politicians are giving way before
a high-toned, moral, intellectual, and patriotic sentiment
all over the old Commonwealth.—New York Herald.

THE FATAL ➢IARCH.

Mr. Cardwell has answered various questions as to
the dropping down dead of soldiers whilst march-
ing from one place to another during the
terrible hot weather of last week. It
appears that two soldiers died—one from excessive
drinking, and the other from the effects of the heat.
One of the regiments at least was in heavy marching
order on two out of three days; the other was not.
There was no dissatisfaction among the soldiers : that
is, none of them grumbled, nor is it likely they will on
any similar occasion ; they know better. Mr. Card-
well tells us that the men were " out of" marching,
and that this trudge was given them for practice.
The gist of the matter is then, that when troops are
rusty in their marching, an exceptionally hot day
ought not to be selected for brushing it up. Soldiers
are all the more likely to suffer from heat when out
of practice.

principle as one of dexterity in framing the working
machinery, has submitted a plan to the Times which
he thinks will meet the case. He would provide out
of the public funds for only that portion of education
which is common to all and necessary for all—
instruction in the purely secular elements
of primary education alone. The Govern-
ment should encourage the religiluS bodies
to give religious instruction at their own cost
in all Stat 3 aided and rate-supported schools to the
extent of one hour daily, the time to be fixed by law
and free access to be given to the premises. In most
schools it will be found, says " A. Catholic," that two
apartments will serve the purpose, and that practi-
cally it will turn out that Catholic and Protestant
will alone suffice to mark the division. A. practical
exemplification of this scheme is at present to be
seen in a school at Edinburgh, conducted by a joint
committee of Protestant and Catholic gentle men.
For twenty-three years the school has been con-
ducted in harmony, and there is no reason why what
has been done in one place should not succeed in
another.

Sir Roundel' Palmer suggested that even when they ha,,

—The Vice-President thought it would be hardly reason-
able to force a rate upon a " supplied district," and to
force a school upon parents who were already satisfied.
The amendment was withdrawn. The question as to
what was considered sufficient accommodation was raised
by the member for Brighton. He thought it might
happen that with " permissive compulsion" they
might have an enormous amount of accom-
modation which Would not be required.—Mr.
Forster thought Mr. Fawcett could hardly have been
unaware of the fact that the inspector would have to con-
sider what children did attend, and how many might
attend school.—The Vice-President of the Council
remarked that compulsion was necessary to obtain a suf-
ficient school accommodation for all the children of the
country ; and one of the chief reasons, he said, why they
adopted " permissive compulsion " was, it would prevent
a district saying it was unfair to rate them for children
who did not attend. The eighth clause, after some further
discussion, was adopted. In Clause 9 Mr. Harcourt
moved the omission of the words from the tenth
line relative to the power of the ratepayers to appeal to
the Education Department should they feel aggrieved
against a declaration of deficiency of school accommoda-
tion, and to ask for a public inquiry.—The amendment
was objected to and ultimately withdrawn.—The Chair-
man reported progress, and the House resumed. The
subject of the year of grace will be discussed when the
consideration of the bill is resumed. At ten minutes to
seven the sitting was suspended.

CHAPMAN & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows :--" Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

THE BLOCK IN CHANCERY.

The Telegraph, says that at the very busiest season of
the whole legal year, when lawyers and clients are most
anxious to get their causes heard before the Long Vaca-
tion, the functions of the highest equity judicature are
entirely suspended. If this were the first occurrence of the
same kind, it would be regarded as an unfortunate acci-
dent for which nobody in particular deserved blame; but
the "block" in the Appeal Court has now become chronic.
It requires some practical experience of Chancery work
to form an adequate idea of the mischief and misery that
result from closing the old hall of Lincoln's Inn. Analo-
gies with Common Law al 3 altogether insufficient.
In Westminster Hall there is little or nothing
of that preventive jurisdiction to which we have
adverted—the procedure by injunction. A de-
layed appeal to the Exchequer Chamber may be a
hardship, but it can scarcely produce the irreparable mis-
chief which may result from the wrongful issue or refusal
of an injunction. If we would realise the supreme im-
portance of keeping the Equity Appeal Court at work
" pari passu" with the subordinate courts, we must re-
member, that where the coercive or preventive jurisdic-
tion is exercised erroneously, the mistake, unless speedily
corrected, produces consequences which are irrevocable.

WORKING MIRACLES.

Dr. Newton, the American who a few weeks ago
made his appearance in the metropolis as a miracle
worker, has returned to the business, and on Mon-
day exhibited his powers in New Church-street
Chapel, the pastor of which is Mr. Burns. Dr.
Newton had no reason to 3omplain of the dearth of
subjects, as there was a numerous attendance of in-
valids, ranging from the lame boy, who was
promised sugar plums if he would come
again, down to the aged paralytic patient.
The mode of procedure adopted by the philanthropic
doctor is simple to a degree, and one example will
serve for all. It may be mentioned that Mr. Burns
opened the séance with prayer. Then the operator
stood forward, and taking hold of ‘a young man who
was suffering from paralysis, said, "Feel to love me,
dear brother ; the love 1 bear you bear ye to every-
one. Bend your feet so ; draw them together so ;
that's it, that's it ; now open your legs wide."
Whether the patient was unable to feel the proper
amount of love, or whether he found it impossible to
extend his legs to the proper angle, is not
known ; but after being subjected to repeated
jerkings and twistings he was informed that his was
a bad case, and he was advised to pour two pails of
warm water of 115 degrees, or hotter if he could
bear it, down his back every day. The reflections
suggested by the scene are not of a hopeful kind, and
we are not at all inclined to question Dr. Newtonll
statement that in his own country he had never bee
able to get into a church. Will he explain how he
got into Mr. Burns's chapel? •

FRANCE AND FREE TRADE.

Free trade principles are making progress on the
Continent, despite the depressed state of trade and com-
merce. A French manufacturer writes a long letter to
the Siecle on the position of the English cotton indus-
try. Last week two Englishmen gave evidence before
the Commission of Inquiry now holding its sittings
prior to the national decision on the renewal of the
Treaty of Commerce. One of these, Mr. Ashworth,
formerly president of the Manchester Chamber of
Commerce, drew a melancholy picture of the English
cotton trade, and declared that French rivals had
nothing to fear from English competition. The other
witness, Mr. Hogg, affirmed that owing to the high
tariff, English cotton, which had not yet recovered
the shock of the American war, would soon cease to
be exported to France altogether. Curiously enough
while this examination was going on, Mr. Goschen
was giving a very different version of the story to
the English House of COmmons. Pauperism, he said,
had sensibly diminished in Lancashire. In Preston,
Wigan, Stockport, and other places, every cotton hand
co uld readily find employment, and,in short, the English
cotton trade, after passing through one of the severest
crises in commercial history, was steadily regaining its
former vigour. What is to be learned from this, asks
the French manufacturer, who was formerly, says
the Sieele, strongly opposed to commercial treaties ?
The resuscitation of English industry teaches a
powerful lesson to French traders. It shows
them what can be accomplished by courage
and perseverance. It has a still stronger
lesson for the French Government, demon-
strating that full liberty of action is necessary for
commercial vigour. There must be no octroi duties,
no tariff monopolies, no exorbitant prices on railways.
The manufacturing interest must second the efforts
of the Liberal party if France would rival the com-
mercial prosperity of England.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY.

The Speaker took the chair at five minutes past two
o'clock, when there was a pretty good attendance of
members. The private business presented no feature of
interest.

The Plymouth, Stonehouse, and Devonport Tramwayi
Bill was read a third time,
THE EVESHAM RIFLES.

Mr. TAYLOR asked the Secretary of State for War
whether his attention had been called to the following
published statement in regard to the Evesham Rifle
Corps :—" That, for several months past, the corps has
been in danger of being broken up from being entirely
without officers ; that, after much pressure, two highly
respectable tradesmen, both town councillors, consented
to serve as lieutenant and ensign respectively, but that
commissions were refused by the Lord-Lieutenant on the
ground that he ' did not consider their social position
would allow of his appointing them commissioned
officers.'"

Mr. CARDWELL replied that it was not strictly correct
that the Lord-Lieutenant had refused the commissions.
By the regulations commissions were granted on the re-
commendation of the Lord-Lieutenant, in accordance
with what he conceived to be the general feeling.
