MA. HARCOIIiIT'S AMENDMENT.

The Telegraph considers there is nothing to be said
against Mr. Harcourt's amendment to the University
Tests Bill. All colleges which may be founded after the
passing of the Act will be free from the scope of its pro-
visions. Thus, the Roman Catholics, the Wesleyans,
the Baptists, the Presbyterians, and the Society of
Friends may each found a college at Oxford and
at Cambridge, to which none will be admitted
save the members of their own communion, and
the emoluments of which will be given: to none
who do not fulfil the conditions of the founders.
There is no reason why we should forbid the sects to build
special colleges at Oxford or Cambridge if they choose.
Why should we prohibit the Roman Catholics or the
Wesleyans from forming, at either of these universities, a
college in which the youth of their own communion should
be educated in their own way? That would be, not
Liberalism, but a curtailment of individual liberty. Again,
the Roman Catholic College of Oscott is affiliated to the
University of London. Why, then should not a Presbyterian
College be affiliated to the University of Oxford? On the
other hand, as the Solicitor-General says, the bill does
not declare that the sectarian colleges a4t Oxford or Cam-
bridge shall never be touched by Parliament. No such
declaration is made, because it would be futile. We can-
not bind the Legislature of the future. A hundred or six
hundred years hence the Parliament of England will not
pay much attention to our legislative decrees. But we can,
and we do, say that the present bill should not apply to
colleges founded after it shall have become law. That
stipulation we make on the ground that the several reli-
gious bodies should be bound by no unnecessary fetters :
and Mr. Harcourt acknowledged the force of the plea by
withdrawing his amendment. The time for discussing the
subject of University Tests has passed, and the Peers will
doubtless see that the question must at last be settled out
of hand.

A CHURCH RATE CASE.

Joseph Royston, of the parish of All Saints, Cambridge,
was summoned before the mayor and ex-mayor, yesterday
morning, for a refusal to pay church rate. The rate
which was demanded was merely that portion required to
pay principal and interest of an amount borrowed from
the Commissioners of Public Works for rebuilding the
edifice, and the defence set up was that the defendant,
not being a parishioner at the time the money was bor-
rowed, was not liable under the Act. Mr. Cockerel' ap-
peared for the prosecution, and an order was made for the
payment of the rate. and expenses. The defendant said
that he was Dissenter, and had nothing to do with the
Church, and did not mean to pay. He would rather go to
gaol.

THE LATE BOAT ACCIDENT AT HYDE.

At a little before eight o'clock yesterday morning, while
searching for the bodies of the young men drowned at
Ryde on Friday night through the capsizing of a boat, the
boat was hooked by the drags, and on it being raised the
body of the young man Clark was found clinging to the
boat. The boatmen think they succeeded in hooking a
second body ; but that the clothes broke away, causing
them to lose the body. They are now actively engaged in
the search.

POSTAGE TO FRANCE.

Mr. CRAWFORD asked the Postmaster-General whether,
when the intended reduction of postage on letters passing
between this country and France has been carried into
effect, it would not be fair and equitable to make a corre-
sponding reaction on the postage of letters passing
through France by the Overland Mails to and from the
East.

THE Marquis of HARTINGTON said the convention
which would come into operation on the first day of next
month provided only for the reduction of rates on inter-
national letters. It did not in any way affect the mails
through France, and therefore it was not in the power of
the Government to make any reduction.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO READING.

The Reception Committee wt Reading have completed
most of the necessary arrangements for the visit of the
Prince of Wales. At the Great Western Railway a
triumphal arch will be erected by the Freemasons, and the
arch will be decorated with masonic emblems.. At St.
Laurence's Church, in front of the Town Hall, a second
arch will be erected ; and others will be raised at various
parts of the town by private persons and the Corporation.
The inhabitants of Reading still hope, though no intima-
tion to that effect has been received, that the Princess of
Wales will accompany the Prince.

THE PRINCE OF WALES' INTERNATIONAL

CUR

It seems very probable that the international match for
the cup presented by the Prince of Wales will not take
place. His Royal Highness will not give it unless one of
the American schooner yachts enter. Mr. Douglas has
refused to enter the Sappho, and it will not be definitely
known for some days if Mr. Bennett will enter the Daunt-
less. Mr. Bennett is now abroad, and will not give his
decision till his return.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--(Tins DAY.)

DISORDERLY FOREIGNERS.—PhiIibert Mathieu, a shoe-
maker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marl-
borough-street Police-court, with being drunk and also
assaulting the' police, and Alphonse Letoilleux, artist,
was charged with being drunk and behavingin a disorderly
manner and attempting to rescue Mathieu. From the
evidence of Constable Evans it appeared that the two
prisoners had a dispute at an oyster stall in Wardour-
street, and the foreigners eventually knocked some of them
off the stall. A row ensued, and when the defendants
were taken into custody Letoilleux assaulted the constable.
A witness was called, named Jolly, but as he appeared
somewhat confused in his account of the matter, owing to
the amount of refreshment he had taken, the magistrate
fined Letoilleux 10s., and Mathieu 20s.
SUICIDE BRIDGES.—Ann Leary. aged 26 years, was
charged by Mr. Rose, inspector of the K division of police,
at the Thames Police-court, with attempting to commit
suicide at the Old Gravel-lane swivel bridge of the London
Dock, where so many unfortunates have committed
suicide. The prisoner was intoxicated when she made the
rash attempt on her life. Inspector Rose said the many
attempts of wretched and erring creatures to rid them-
selves of life from the Old and New Gravel-lane bridges
had put the police to- great inconvenience and trouble.
The prisoner was remanded for a week. Ellen Cross, a
married woman, was also brought up, on remand, charged
with an attempt at self-destruction at the New Gravel-
lane swivel bridge of the London Dock, which has gained
the same unenviable notoriety as the other bridge for the
many suicides committed there ; but she was discharged,
after being admonished by the magistrate.
CHARGE AGAINST A JOCKEY.—A jockey, who gave the
name of Charles Jones, was charged before Mr. Arnold,
at the Westminster Police Court, with two assaults and
wilfully destroying a coat. Arthur Coe, footman to Baron
Bruce, and Wm. Aylett, coachman to Sir Win. Mansfield,
gave evidence, and stated that while standing quietly
at the corner of Eaton-lane last night, A youth dressed as
a jockey came up and annoyed Aylett by walking round
him twice, and then running his spurs into him. He took
no notice of this, and then the lad came and struck him
in the stomach. He ordered him off on that occasion,
but a third time the lad came up and annoyed and struck
him, and then Aylett, incensed at the annoyance, seized
the lad and threw him into the road. The defendant
then rushed up and, joined by half a dozen others, made a
general onslaught upon both Coe and Aylett, striking
them several times and tearing Coe's coat all to pieces.'
Defendant utterly denied the intention to annoy the com-
plainants ; said he merely went to the assistance of the
lad, who was being ill-treated, and who had put on his
jockey's clothes for sport.

THE MONARCH AND THE CAPTAIN.

The Tim es, in discussing the recent naval experiments, re-
marks that each architect has done something in the way of
appropriating his rival's points without sacrificing his
own, and the question is which combination is, or which
promises to be, the better. The Monarch, as we know
from actual experience, can cross the Atlantic as com-
fortably as an old two-decker; and we know, ,also, that
the Americans, both competent and critical judges, put
her at the head of ajl men-of-war ; but, then, the Amert,
cans had not seen the Captain, nor have even our own
officers yet seen the best of her. Beyond all doubt, Mr.
Reed has produced a splendid ship—a ship, perhaps, more
successful in itself than the Captain •but that is not
the point of chief importance. The real question
is whether the Captain might not be improved into
something better than the Monarch. So far as this ex,
periment goes and these two ships are concerned, the
point to be ascertained was the extent to which the tur-
ret principle could be advantageously introduced into
our men-of-war. People said that a turret ship—whatever
might be her advantages in other respects—could never
make so good a cruiser or so habitable ship as a vessel of
the old pattern ; and the Captain has not yet disproved
that statement. The truth, we take it, will be found
to be this—that the turret system, like the system of
armour-plating itself, can only be adopted as
compromise and at a certain sacrifice. To say
that a turret ship is not the best ship for cruising
is only to say what may be said of all ironclads.
For the mere purposes of sailing unarmoured
vessel would be best ; and we ourselves, as well as the
American, are again building vessels of that class. But
no ship without armour is a match in action for an.
armoured ship, and for the sake of this infallible supe,
riority we forego advantages of some other kind.
Similarly, we presume, it may be said that no broad-
side vessel would be a match in action for a genuine turret
ship, and for this advantage, therefore, we may judiciously
forego some others. Perhaps in the end we play deter-
mine to separate and apportion the two qualities, and
build some ships more for cruising than fighting, and
others more for fighting than cruising, unless, indeed, in
the interval some improvement in the Captain should
teach us that the turret principle really admits of all the
capabilities a seaman could desire.
London, England, 1870-06-14

LATER PARTICULARS.

The body of another of the young men who lost their
lives in the accident has been recovered. The body of
Mr. Frederick Thurlow was recovered yesterday afternoon.
The deputy coroner, Mr. E. Blake, held the inquest at
the Esplanade Hotel immediately. One of the witnesses
stated that seeing that the young men were ignorant of
the proper way in which to manage the boat he watched
it and gave the alarm when it capsized. The jury re
turned a verdict of accidental death, and asked the repre-
sentatives of the press to take notice of the expression of
their hope that the melancholy occurrence would prove a
warning to others. The coroner joined in that hope. It
was marvellous, he said, that young men were so careless,
and he was afraid to say how many inquests he held were
'necessitated by that cause.

THE MID-CHANNEL TELEGRAPH CABLE.
The Mid-Channel Telegraph Cable, laid to the ship,
Brisk, moored fifty miles S.W. ,of Land's End, is being
taken up. The vessel is said to have been unfit for the
service ; the cable haS parted frequently, and homeward
bound ships have not used it to any large extent.

SUSPECTED TRADE OUTRAGE.
Four men were brought up at the Manchester City
Police-court yesterday on suspicion of being concerned
in an attempt to commit a trades outrage at the timber-
yard of Messrs. Robert Mill and Sons, builders, Manches-
ter. The firm named, the principal of which was the late
Mayor of Manchester, received a threatening letter a few
days ago stating that their timber yard would be burned
down the same as Mr. Johnson's, with whom they have
been associated in recent trade disputes. In consequence
of this letter a watch has been kept at the timber yard,
and on Saturday night four men were observed crouching
on the ground outside the yard and maintaining a conver-
sation, after which one of them clambered over the pro-
tecting wall, and was making his way through the yard
when he was seized and taken into custody. His com-
panions were also apprehended. The men declared that
they were far from home, and had only wanted to go to
sleep ; but the stipendiary magistrate thought the case
required investigation and granted a remand.

Intelligence was received in Liverpool to-day by Messrs.
G-ibb, Bright. and Co., to the effect that their steamer
the Great Britain had reached Melbourne, all well, on the
14th of May, after a rapid passage of 66 days..

PAUPER CHILDREN.

"A. Kendal Guardian" gives the result of his ex-
perience in reference to the management of pauper
children. He argues that a vast orderly house-
hold of perhaps 1,000 children, with every contri-
vance for lessening domestic labour, and every plan
arranged to protect and nurture the inmates is not,
especially for girls, a fitting entrance to a life
of petty scrambling service, in abodes where at every
turn there is a makeshift, and where only patience
and ingenuity and ready wit can keep the household
life above water. Yet, he adds, these are the places
where half and more than half, of our poor girls have
to make their first trial, and the larger the school the
more is the pressure on the guardians to accept any
place which seems tolerable. He considers that this
system results generally in a break-down, and a
return to pauperism, and expresses great anxiety to
see what plan the Poor Law Board will propose.

OPEN COMPETITION.

Lord CLAUD JOHN HAMILTON asked the First Lord of
the Treasury, with reference to the order in council dated
4th of June, upon what system the selection of the
Government Offices to be thrown open to public competi-
tion has been made ; and why certain offices, namely,
the Home and Foreign Offices hade been omitted, whilst
others such as the Treasury, Colonial Office, and Admiralty,
had been included.

Mr. GLADSTONE said the Government had not thought

it its duty or sound policy to come at once to an authori-
tative decision binding the head of every department in
his separate capacity, but it had considered it
important, with the view of the more satisfactory
working of the system, if it allowed the heads
of the departments to speak to a great extent
in the present state of the question to the applicability of
the new system to the method of each particular depart-
ment. There was a considerable degree of experimental
matter, and it could not be treated as if the question had
been completely solved by experience. The
cases of the Home and Foreign Office rested upon
the new course taken by the heads of those offices. With
regard to the Home Office it was proposed by the Secre-
tary of State to adopt -immediately the new system of
open competitive examinations in all the departments which
were placed under the Home Office. With regard to the
Foreign Office, from the highly confidential and delicate
nature of a portion of the duties performed,
in that office, it would not be wise at present to advise
without further information and experience, the adop-
tion of the system, which was about to be put in opera-
tion in the other departments of the State.

THE CATHOLICS AND THE EDUCATION
QUESTION.

The Catholic laity are determined not to be left in the
rear of their fellow-countrymen on the Education ques-
tion. The Nonconformists have held several meetings
throughout the country to advocate their views, and now
the first Catholic peer of England has summoned the
principal Catholic peers and gentry to a special conference
at Norfolk House. As might have been expected the
meeting was very fully attended. The Duke himself
and Lord Howard of Glossop were the chief speakers.
General unanimity prevailed. Resolutions were passed ex-
pressing anxiety as to the future of English primary
education, and appointing a Committee to collect funds and
otherwise assist the efforts of the bishops to forward the
mode of education among the Catholic poor. It was ob-
served that the Catholics must aim at two things : first,
to retain the liberty and preserve the efficiency of the ex-
isting schools ; and secondly, to provide additional schools
to educate those now destitute.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON EDUCATION

The Bishop of Exeter attended a meeting, held in the
Cathedral City yeterday, on the subject of education. His
lordship said he was in favour of a most stringent conscience
clause, believing that parents ought to feel that the ulti-
mate responsibility of giving their children the benefit of
a religious education rested upon themselves. There must
be concession, but the limit was maintaining the religious
character of schools. Bible instruction should be given in
school hours. Dean Boyd spoke against compulsory
education.

LORD DERBY.

The Merchant Taylors' Hall, says the Daily N. ems, is
the favoured retreat of Conservatism. Thither the gods
of the Tory Olympus repair to banquet with the blame-
less Ethiopians, so to designate the members of one of the
most respectable of City Companies. It was to the
Merchant Taylors that Sir Robert Peel, more than thirty
years ago, confided his view of his political mission. Lord
Derby, the other day, confided to the wee company his
estimate of the House of Lords. Though he has been bi 4
for a short time a member of that august astembly, he bas
come to a very decided conclusion as to its character
And functions. He does not think it does much
good ; indeed, for the most part, it does
nothing ; but this is better than doing harm.
With resnect to the Irish Land Bill, Lord Derby spoke
with a cautious reserve which shews that he 1120 profited
by his experience in the Foreign Office. "It will be put.
duty, on principle and on policy, to accept all that yve
can, and resist only what we must. It will be our duty,
in prudence and in policy, to aim at nothing more than
we can Bafely carry into effect ; it will be our duty, in
self-respect, to adhere firmly to all that we have on deli-
berate reflection adopted." No oracle was ever more
prudently ambiguous. If the Lords only propose what
they are sure of being able to effect, Lord Derby ;-$ in-
clined to think that they any safely adhere to what they
propose. We heartily agree with him. There are other
grounds than his guarded sayings for believing in the saga-
city and statesmanship of the Peers who will decide the
fate of the Land Bill.

The Customs and Inland Revenue Bill has been

In the Channel yacht match an accident befell the
Pleiad, she losing a man overboard at the back of the
Goodwins, when her fore staysail was bping reefed. A
boat was immediately lowered, but the poor fellow seems
to have sunk directly he was overboard. At the time the
Pleiad was pitching very badly, and another man ?,s
also washed overboard, but he was washed on to the ship
again over the lee bow.

THE CHANNEL PASSAGE.

Mr. Fowler's bill of international communication
has- caused great excitement in certain quarters. A
special meeting has been held at Folkestom; in order
that the town council might receive the report of the
deputation to confer with the Maire and Munici-
pality of Boulogne. The Maire of Boulogne sent a
letter in which he informed them that a demand had
been made to the French Government for necessary
works to render their harbour available for the
reception of large steamers at any time. Among the
various plans which had been prepared was one
which could be carried out for £600,000. They
hoped their Government would, as usual, take on
itself the expense, but if not, they would raise the
capital privately. Audresserrs was the scene of
many marine disasters, and a most unfit site for a
harbour. It was arranged that a copy of the letter
should be sent to the South-Eastern Railway Com-
pany, and a petition to the House of Lords against
the International Communication Bill was sealed.

THIS MORNING'S NEWS.

THE DIFFICULTY BETWEEN ITALY AND

PORTUGAL.

The Italian Foreign Minister has given some explana-
tions to the Chamber of Deputies at Florence on the
diplomatic rupture between Italy and Portugal. The
Duke of Saldanha, he said, instead of sending the Italian
Minister the same circular as the other legations on
coming to power, sent him a note saying he. couldnot hold
relations with him on account of expressions he had used
respecting the late events. The Italian Ministers had
therefore recalled their representative, having consulted
alike the dignity of the nation and the family ties existing
between the Courts.

DECLARATION OF THE POLL-ISLE OF
WIGHT.

. At the official declaration of the poll for the Isle of
Wight, on Monday, the Deputy Sheriff said the num-
bers were—Cochrane, 1,316 ; Moffatt, 1,252. He there-
fore declared Mr. Cochrane duly elected. Mr. Cochrane,
in returning thanks, said it was seventeen years since a
Conservative member had been returned for the Isle of
Wight. He declared that the election had been a pure
one; and denied any knowledge of the circumstances
under which the Portsmouth mob was brought over to
Ryde. He (Mr. Cochrane) also expressed his sympathy
with Mr. Thurlow under his severe bereavement, and paid
a tribute of respect to the memory of the late Sir John
Simeon, Bart.

CAMBRIDGE COMMENCEMENT.

The annual Cambridge commencement began this day
by the recitation of prize poems, which took place in the
Senate House in the presence of a distinguished audience,
including a large number of ladies. The Vice-Chancellor
presided, and the conduct of the undergraduates in the
gallery was very orderly, and strongly in contrast with
previous years. Mr. Page (St. John's) recited
his Greek translation from Shakspeare's " Henry
the Fourth," for which he was awarded one
of the Porson prizes, and his Latin Ode,
for which he received Sir William Brown's medal. Mr.
Huddlestone (King's) recited Mr. Gurney's (Trinity)
translation from " Henry the Fourth," and his own Latin
poem, for which he obtained the Powis medal. Mr. Dick-
son (Caius) having recited his Greek Epigram, and Mr.
Wood (St. John's) his Latin Epigram, Mr. Beck
(Trinity Hall) recited his English poem "Runnymede."
The various prize winners having received from the
Vice-Chancellor their several:prizes, the proceedings ter-
minated.

THE BISHOP OF EXETER ON EDUCATION.

The Bishop of Exeter attended a meeting, held in the
Cathedral City yeterday, on the subject of education. His
lordship said he was in favour of a most stringent conscience
clause, believing that parents ought to feel that the ulti-
mate responsibility of giving their children the benefit of
a religious education rested upon themselves. There must
be concession, but the limit was maintaining the religious
character of schools. Bible instruction should be given in
school hours. Dean Boyd spoke against compulsory
education.

TRADES UNIONS.

Mr. MELLY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he proposed to bring forward the
promised measure for the regulation of trades unions
during the present session ; or, if not, whether he intended
to bring in a bill extending the operation of the 32 and 33
Vict., c. 61, being an Act to Protect the Funds of Trades
Unions from Embezzlement and Misappropriation, and
which expires on the 31st August next.
Mr. BRUCE said if he should be unable to introduce the
bill during the present session, it would be his duty to
move an extension of the act referred to.

THE UYIVEDSITY TESTS BILL.

"An Oxford Liberal" considers the amendments
introduced by Mr. Fawcett and Mr. Vernon Harcourt
to the University Tests Bill.as injudicious, and likely
to lead
,to.greater evils than exist at present. The
priposition of Mr. Fawcett, which deals
with the question of clerical fellowships,
is sufficiently condemned by the fact that.
the Prime Minister has declined to incorporate it in
the Government measure. Mr. Harcourt's amend-
ments would prevent the future establishment of
denominational Colleges and Halls 'within the Uni-
versities, and would thus have the effect of striking
out a large class who are persuaded that the
religious side of education is of its essence.
This class includes the large majority of Roman
Catholics, a considerable number of Protestant
Nonconformists and a large and increasing
proportion of members of the Church of England.
" An Oxford Liberal " believes that the disestablish-
ment of the Church of England is blit a question of
time, but when it does take place there are sure
indications that the tendency of that Church will be
towards an increased ecclesiastical and sacerdotal
spirit. Looking to this future, we must expect a
great accession to the ranks of those who, under
tlierinspiration of a corporate conscience will seek
for an educational system • in harmony with their
convictions; and it is desirable that they should find
a place in the Universities instead of, multiplying
purely sectarian establishments. The great danger
is the substitution of one 'doxy for another 'doxy,
while professing to abolish the dominion of 'doxies
altogether.

TINY TIM'S.

" Quiet. Very quiet. The noisy little Cratchits were
as still as statues in one corner, and sat looking up at
Peter, who had a book before him. The mother and her
daughters were engaged in sewing. But surely they were
quiet
" ' And He took a child and set him in the midst of
them.'

" When had Scrooge heard those words ? He had not
dreamed them. The boy must have read them out, as he
and the Spirit crossed the threshold. Why did he not
go on ?

-
" The mother laid her work upon the table, and put her
hand up to her face.
" ' The colour hurts my eyes,' she said.
" The colour ? Ah, poor Tiny Tim ! _ _

" They were very quiet again. At last she said, and
in a steady, cheerful voice, that only faltered once : _ _

" I have known him walk with—l have known him
walk with Tiny Tim upon his shoulder, very fast indeed.'
" And so have I,' cried Peter. ' Often.'
" And so have I,' exclaimed another. So had all.
" But he was very light to carry,' she resumed, intent
upon her work, and his father loved him so, that it was
no trouble :no trouble. And there is your father at the
door 1'

" She hurried out to meet him ; and little Bob in his
comforter—he had need of it, poor fellow—came in. His
tea was ready for him on the hob, and they all tried who
should help him to it most. Then the two young Cratchits
got upon his knees and laid, each child, a little cheek
against his face, as if they said, ' Don't mind it father!'
' Don't be grieved !' _ _ _

" Bob was very cheerful with them, and spoke plea-
santly to all the family. He looked at the work upon the
table, and praised the industry and speed of Mrs. Crat-
chit and the girls. They would be done long before Sun-
day, he said.
" 'Sunday ! You went to-day, then, Robert !' said his
wife.

" Yes, my dear,' returned Bob. ' I wish you could
have gone. It would have done you good to see bow
green a place it is. But you'll see it often. I promised
him that I would walk there on a Sunday. My little,
little child ? ' cried Bob. 'My little child ! '
"He broke down all at once. He couldn't help it. If
he could have helped it, he and his child would have been
farther apart perhaps than they were.—The Christmas
Carol.

A POSTAL REFORM WANTED.

Notwithstanding the many changes for the better
which have been made in our postal system, there
still remains a good deal to do in the way of reform.
The residents in Jamaica have lately memorialised
the home authorities respecting the reduction of the
rate of postage to the West Indies, and they have
certainly some ground for their discontent. While
a letter can be sent to the United States
for 3d., to Australia for 6d., and to India
for 9d., it is inconsistent, as well as oppressive,
to charge one shilling for each letter carried to or
from the West Indies. It is perhaps no recommenda-
tion now-a-days to urge on behalf of the memorialists
that they represent an English colony, for our
authorities seem to think our fellow subjects deserve
no favour at their hands, but it must be at least ac-
knowledged that wherever there exists an English
speaking community there is likely to be a great de-
mand for English news. Why not, then,
meet it half-way by lightening what is called,
not unreasonably, the " prohibitory duty P"
When will our rulers fully appreciate the fact
which the experience of this generation alone
abundantly confirms, that the lighter the burdens on
any branch of industry the more profitable it is to
the State at large. In proof of this we may instance
the statement of a "London Printer," who has brought
one or two startling facts connected with his trade
under public notice. He has received a circular from
a well-known firm of coal merchants, printed in
Ghent, and delivered in London, bearing a Belgian
postage stamp worth one halfpenny. Thanks to the
high rate of postage hitherto maintained in England,
for newspapers, circulars, &c., and to the cost of
printing in this country, English merchants have
found it worth their while to send their prospectuses
abroad to get printed and have them 'posted back

again.

THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC.

With a want of acueeness almost become prover-
bial, the Metropolitan Police have apprehended the
wrong men in connection with the recent jewel
robbery at Lady Beaumont's. The circumstances
un ler which this clever capture was made are
as follow :—One of the prisoners, a labouring

mail had been seen standing near a house in Picca-
dilly, and the other had been seen in the same novel
position at the corner of Park-lane. This was
enough for the vigilant detectives, and the men were
at once apprehended.- After lying in prison a fort-
night, they have been discharged, the evidenceliro-
duced against them being of the most trivial
description. • That two persons whose innocence may
be assumed should be imprisoned for so long a period
on such trivial. grounds cannot be too strongly de-
nounced.

THE GRAND PRIX

The result of the great French race on Sunday
tends to increase the very general opinion that the
success or ill-success of a horse will much depend upon
the jockey who rides him. Major Fridolin's horse
Bigarreau won three weeks since the French Derby.
The horse was ridden by 0. ,Pratt, an English rider,
whose chief victories have, however, been gained in
France. On Sunday Major Fridolin's Sornette won
the Grand Prix, the horse being steered by Pratt,
whereas Bigarreau, on this occasion ridden by a man
named Luff, was not even placed. Sornette and Bigar-
reau were the favourites before the start.
A fact significant of the estimation in which
English jockeys are held on the Continent,
was observable on Sunday. Of the twelve
riders who appeared on the ground with their steeds
as competitors for the Grand Prix, no less than
eleven were Britons. The more famous of these
were Fordham, Challoner, T. French, Cannon,
and Maidment, whose horse Valois obtained
third place. The Emperor and Empress and the
Prince were as usual spectators of the struggle. It
is worthy of remark that English sovereigns never
have patronised the race course with their presence.
The only recorded instance was in the year 1840,
when Little Wonder won the Derby. On that occa-
sion the Queen and the late Prince Consort honoured
Epsom with a visit.
