THE LATE MR. FREDERICK YOUNGE.

The theatrical world has suffered no • ordinary loss
in the death of Mr. Frederick Younge. This excel-
lent actor was killed by the terrible accident on the
North-Eastern line on Tuesday. On the previous
evening he bad, as manager of a company of London
actors expressly organised for the performance of
Mr. T. W. Robertson's comedies, •opened a series
of representations at Sunderland. Mr. Younge com-
menced his career as an actor twenty-four years ago,
on the death of his father. He played comedy parts
with great success. He made his first appearance at
Sadler's Wells in 1849 as the principal gravedigger in
" Hamlet." Mr. Younge accepted a lucrative engage-
ment in the colonies, and remained in Australia, where
he was very- popular, for several years. He returned
to this country in 1865. He achieved his greatest
success in Mr. Robertson's comedy of " Caste " as the
lion. George D'Alroy. His acting as the aristocratic
lover gained for him the highest praise. Playgoers
have good cause to regard with regret an
event which has deprived the stage of one of its best
ornaments.

SHREWSBURY ELECTION INQUIRY.

The case for the petitioners closed yesterday morning.
Evidence was called for the respondent. Captain Whit-
more strenuously denied the truth of the statement made
by several witnesses, that he offered ten pounds to a
workman to vote for Mr. Straight. He was in the Central
Committee Room the whole of the, day checking off the
names of voters.

. _
Mr. Douglas Straight, M.P., was then examined. Ile
declared positively that he had never given or offered
bribes to any man ; indeed he strictly charged all the can-
didates not to jeopardise the election by offering anything
in the shape of bribes.
Mr. Thomas Groves, magistrate, one of Mr. Straight's
agents, who was stated by several witnesses to have been
guilty of bribery, pronounced all such evidence to be false.
All that had been said by Pugh and Pryce Edwards con-
cerning him was untrue. He had offered neither a day's
wages nor anything of the sort to any one.
Mr. John Green, musician, also denied in toto the evi-
dence of the witnesses Ellis and James.
The evidence of Mr. Green, musician, was taken
last. Mr. Giffard, Q.C., addressed the court for
the respondent, urging that the petition was
frivolous, and that the evidence produced in no way cri-
minated the sitting member. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine
followed.
Mr. Baron Channell, in delivering judgment, was of
opinion that agency had been shewn to exist only in the
cases of Messrs. Groves, Townsend, and Whitmore. The
allegations against these gentlemen had not been sus-
tained. The charges against Mr. Straight had conse-
quently not been made out ; the election was valid ; and
Mr. Straight had been duly returned to Parliament.
, Nor had it been shewn that extensive bribery prevailed
at the last election. The petitioners must, therefore, paY
all costs.

CHURCH EDUCATION.

A large county meeting was held at Wakefield yester-
day, under the auspices of the Ripon Diocesan Board of
Education, for the purpose of taking steps to supply
the deficiency in elementary Church education in
the diocese. Earl Fitzwilliam presided, and the Bishop of
Ripon stated that there was a deficiency of accommoda•

tion in 180 of the Church schools, omitting Leeds, 95 of
these were in large towns, and the remainder in manufac-
turing and agricultural districts. Between seventy and
eighty thousand pounds needed to be raised to meet the
wants of the diocese, and as it was hopeless to attempt to
obtain the amount in the diocese itself, he made an earnest
appeal to the meeting to assist. A resolution pledging
such assistance was passed, and about £l,OOO in donations
and subscriptions was promised in the room.

DEATH OF THE ARCHDEACON OF
LIMERICK.
The Rev. Price Peacock, Archdeacon of Limerick, died

THE PRINCE CONSORT'S MEMORIAL AT
CAMBRIDGE.

At a congregation of the Cambridge University Senate
held yesterday afternoon, the grace presented by the
Council, suggesting that the Prince Consort's Memoria
should be placed ill the Senate House, was rejected by
31 to 22 votes.

THE MURDER OF A SCHOOLMASTER AT
LIVERPOOL.

The inquest on the body of Mr. Flueck, schoolmaster,
at Liverpool, was concluded last night, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of wilful murder against Mr. Howchin,
the deceased's assistant.

FATAL QUARREL AT YARMOUTH.
As two men, named respectively William Neave and
John Godfrey, were drinking together last night in the
Bush Tavern, South Quay, Yarmouth, a quarrel ensued,
and Neave struck Godfrey a violent blow with his fist,
felling him to the ground, and causing immediate death.
Neave is in custody.

yING ARTHUR. By LORD LYTTON.
Illustrated by Edward Hughes, Charles Greene, Clarke
Stanton, and others.
"Lord Lytton's poetry, as the review of this his poem of
`King Azthur' will show, is frequently of a most high and ex-
ceptional order of merit, instinct with the most delicate appre-
ciation of human and external nature, fertile with fancy,
exalted in aim, excellent in metrical art, and in every respect
worthy of himself, which is as much as saying that it is worthy
of the literature of his country."—Times, Nov. 9, 1870.
"The fable of the poem is undeniably well contrived. The
interest is distributed rather than concentrated. There is an
inexhaustible fertility of incident ; the adventures of the knights
are well told ; and each scene, whether it occurs in the natural
or supernatural world, is presented distinctly and effectively.
We are left with no cloudy impressions ; everything is bodied
clearly forth • and it is plain that the author did not write his
poem at random from one line to another, but constructed it
according to a complete and carefully worked-out plan."—Times
(Second Notice), Nov. 23, 1870.
" If any poem could live by fine passages, this should do
so."—Spectator, Nov. 26, 1870.

read it aloud to their circle of little ones,"—Morning Post.
" There are some useful facts cleverly stated."—Athenaeum.

THE BISHOP OF MANCHESTER'S .LESSONS.

How many salutary words are. being uttered day
after day by the now, but energetic, Bishop of Man-
chester ! He is becoming a regular household guide
to the working men of Lancashire, and all social-
minded Englishmen will, doubtless, be struck with
the fact that there are many of his suggestions
which, if not positively full of wisdom, are, at least,
instructive in some respects. What modest house-
keeper will not thank Dr. Fraser for his advice on Wed-
nesday contained in some of his remarks at a meeting
held in Manchester for the purpose of aiding the
extension of shorter hours of labour for working men
and children? He thought families with small means
made mistakes sometimes, and one of the chief errors
was to buy food and other necessary articles at the
end of the week. They wenn, he thought, con-
sult their own interests best if they purchased early
in the week and secured good value for their money.
There would in such a case be no fear of the leavings
of the week's trade being shuffled upon them in the
usual Saturday night's scramble for odds an l ends .

the rumour."

The Amsterdam Hande/sb/ad of the same date also
Publishes a telegram from Luxemburg, asserting that
)Prussia has informed the Government of the Grand
t achy that the latter having allowed its neutrality

HER MAJESTY.

WINDSOR CASTLE, Dec. 8.
The Queen walked in the grounds yesterday afternoon,
attended by the Duchess of Roxburghe.
Her Majesty, accompanied by Princess Beatrice, went
out this morning.
Princess Louise and Prince Leopold also went out.

The Marquis of Lorne arrived at the Castle yesterday.
Prince and Princess Christian, the Duchess of Box-
burghe, and the Marquis of Lorne dined with the Queen
and the Royal Family last evening.

THE ORLEANS FAMILY AND THE QUEEN•

The London correspondent of the Western Daily Press
writes :—lmmediately following upon the visit of her
Majesty the Empress of the French to the Sovereign at.
Windsor Castle, there was on Wednesday another gather-
ing around the Queen which attracted a good deal of at-
tion, and is not a little spoken about. Their Royal
Highnesses the Duke of Nemours, Princess Marguerite,
and Princess Blanche of Orleans, and their Royal and
Imperial Highnesses Count and Countess D'Eu visited
her Majesty and remained to luncheon. As was the case
with the Empress of the French, the Prince and Princess
Christian came from Frogmore to meet the Royal
party.

Mn. MUNDELLA AND AMERICAN WORKMEN.

Mr. Mundella, M.P., has been lecturing to the
working men of New York ; but this sincere friend
of the artisan met with no welcome from his audience.
He ventured to argue that every man had a right to
decide for himself whether he would belong to a
trade organisation or not. This line, of course,
would not do. The New York Work-
ing Men's Union forthwith assembled, and
drew up a resolution affirming that all efforts short
of actual violence should be used to make every
working man join a trade union, in order that they
might thus contribute to the support of an organiza-
tion all the advantages of which they enjoyed. Mr.
Mundella's plan of arbitration and conciliation was
condemned. The New York workmen do not appear
to have stated what methods they would use which
would yet stop short of actual violence.- But it is
something: to know that this exception is to be
made.

THE BILOCKLEY WHINE ACCIDENT.

The jury have found that the pointsman who
placed the switches a few moments before the terrible
collision on Monday committed an error of judg-
ment, and they commented on the fact that another
person was in the signal box with him at the time. The
latter fact is of considerable importance, inasmuch as
it may yet b 3 shewn that the two men were talking
and occupying each other's attention as the
ill-fated South Shields train drew near. On the other
hand, it may justly be argued that at "one of the
busiest and most dangerous junctures between Sun-
derland and Newcastle," the care of all the
points should not be left to one man, who at any
moment might be seized with a cramp or pain, and
be unable to guide the passing trains at all, The
'necessity of a certain class of men being chosen as
pointsmen is, we think, also finally in oven.
We are told that the man in charge of Brookley-
Whim had been a platelayer until three weeks ago,
and that he was "old," "nervous," and " ex-
citable."

THE WAR.

THE GREAT SORTIES.

GERMAN REPULSE ON FRIDAY.

It appears that Count Moltle deemed it necessary to
regain on Friday the villages taken by the French on ,
Wednesday ; but most of his subordinates - thought they
were not worth the cost. Nevertheless, the Wurtem-
burgers were ordered to take Champigny, and they pro-
ceeded to make the attempt. They met with a warm
reception. Both sides displayed great bravery. Says the ,
Times correspondent :—" On the 30th the Wurtem-
bergers had been flanked by,a, brigade of the 6th Army
Corps, supported by the 3rd Division of the 2nd
Army Corps, while the Saxons (12th Corps)
were on their right; but on the 2nd of Decem-
ber they had to carry the position in the front line,
and at one time they actually re-entered and held
Champigny, but a dreadful fire from the forts mid earth_
works fell on and destroyed them, and at the same time
the French poured out immense masses of infantry from
the city, and seemed resolved to have the village at any
price. The works in front of Nogent and the Faisanderie
aided them powerfully, though at very long ranges, and it
was evident when I reached Le Peple that the Wurtem-
bergers were acquiescing in the decision and were retiring.
I could guess from the air of the officers in front of the
house.that the day had not gone well. It is generally so
when men dwell most on their own losses. Lieutenant-
Colonel von Faber was there to seek the dead body of his
nephew. General von Baumbach could not at all conceal
his emotion as he spoke of the havoc in his old brigade.
Young Count Wolf egg had just had a leg amputated in a
room above. Von Strockmann, of the Staff, pale and
bleeding, with a white cloth round his head, was helped in
by two officers as I was standing on the steps. The
Reichenstein Brigade had to lament its best officers and

men."

THE PROTEST OF QUEEN ISABELLA•

The ex-Queen of Spain has addressed a protest
to the Spanish people from her retreat at Geneva.
Events have followed each other with startling
rapidity since the last document which her dethroned
Majesty,issued to her refractory people, blitoit seems
they have not yet taught her the hopelessness
of her pretensions on behalf of her dynasty.
She complains that the rights of her. son are ignored,
and that a foreigner is called to occupy the throne of
Saint Ferdinand and Charles V. An entire dynasty,
the only one having in its favour secular and
political legitimacy, is thus despliled of its
rights. The ex-Queen holds that she would
fail in her duties as a mother and as the
heal of her family if she did not enter a solemn pro-
test against such a spoliation, of which the victim is
an innocent boy who ought not to be held responsible
for the errors unjustly attributed to his ancestors.
At the same time she does not appeal to violence.
Enough blood has been shed by the Spanish people
to sustain her on her father's throne, and she does
not wish it to be shed anew on behalf of her son.
The document is, in fact, merely a form, from which
its royal authoress can hardly herself expect any
definite result.

GREEK BRIGANDAGE.

Homicide on a large scale has almost obliterated
the recollection of the tragedy at Marathon, which a
short time ago occupied so large a share of public
attention, but it seems that the Greek brigands are
still plying their nefarious trade as successfully as of
old. A. gentleman named Philon was carried off in the
day time from Livadia, the second town of conti-
nental Greece, with the most daring effrontery. He
remained nine nights in the hands of the brigands,
sleeping in the open air, and after a fruitless skirmish
between the robbers and a party of gendarmes, only
escaped with his life by paying a ransom of over
£2,000. Extraordinary confidence was shown by the
brigands in all their movements, from their first
watching for their victim, their seizure and carry-
ing of him through numbers of workmen and along
the public road, to their final negotiations. They
offered a bet to their captive that they would carry
off any banker or politician he might name from Vie
streets of Athens, and during the encounter with the
soldiers they did not scruple to remind him of the late
of the Englishmen this year. It is no great wonder that
M. Philon, on reaching Athena after his costly and
dangerous adventure, should make an effort to attract
attention to the inadequacy of the Government
measures to suppress brigandage. An Athens journal
itself admits that the brigands have friends and sup-
porters in all the towns of Continental Greece, and that
juries and judges can never be satisfied by the evi-
dence brought against them. One of the band who
murdered Mr. Herbert has been captured by the
Turks, and is to be tried in Thessaly by the Ottoman
Government with the hope of obtaining a fairer
examination.

FRANCE AND THE CONFERENCE.

The Berlin correspondent of the Independance
Beige says that there was no difficulty in the way of
France taking part in the Conference according to
the terms already referred to. It was naturally sup-
posed that the Provisional Government would not
demand a furmal recognition on its own account, and
in that case the deliberations might take place in
France. It is understood that the Conference, in its
confidential communications, will only have to deal
with the abolition of the articles in the Treaty of
Paris, from the eleventh to the fourteenth, relating
to the neutralisation of the Black Sea. There is
some likelihood of the " open sea" question,
which Russia favoured in 1856, and which
Lord Russell did net at first oppose, engaging
attention in the ensuing councils, and it does
not seem certain that there will be a now Treaty
concluded. The Federal Chancellor has communi-
cated to the Federal Council an expose of the
question of the Black Sea accompanied by docu-
ments. The Council is requested to form its opinion
on the question with a view to the German interests
affected by it. Prussia only appears in the Treaty
as a collective guarantee, and she does not consider
that the steps taken with regard to the neutralisa-
tion of the Black Sea constitute a casus belli for her,
at any rate, in the first instance. A similar announce-
ment will be made to the Northern Parliament.

TIIE SEA FISHERIES OF IRELAND.

According to the last report of the late Commis-
sioners of Fisheries, the number of first class craft
engaged in the sea fisheries of Ireland was stated to be
960, and of the second class 8,224. The 'number of
men employed was 36,944,-and of boys 2,395. Pre-
vious to the famine in 1846, the number of vessels
and boats amounted to 19,883, and men and boys
113,073. Within the last ten years the decrease in
vessels and boats amounts to 2,697, and in men and
boys to 10,776. This may be altogether attribute],
say the inspectors of Irish fisheries in their report to
Parliament, to the fami:le of 1847 and 1848, and to
subsequent years of distress. They are disposed to
think that the reality as re.zards the decay of fishing
industry is even greater than the late annual returns
exhibit. Every boat on the coast, no matter how
little engage"( in fishing, is registered as a fishing
boat, although many of them, owing to the poverty
of the owners have almost ceased to be so employe],
and are only used for collecting sea-weed) &c. The
inspectors have arrived at the conclusion that no
great improvement can be looked for in the fisheries
until loans are advanced to a portion of the fisher-
men for the repair and purchase of boats and gear.
Concerning the trawling questioa the inspectors say
that so far as they could ascertain, the interests in-
tended to be served were not benefited by trawling
being proscribed, while much injury was done to the
fishing enterprise. The great preponderance of scion-
tific opinion is against the supposition that the ova
of the fish is damaged by trawling. If the ova is
deposited in bays and estuaries it is in such situa-
tions as cannot be atroote 1 by the action of the
trawl.

BURNING OF A lIINDOO RAJAH.

Florence has within the last week been the scene
of a curious and unusual ceremony. The Rajah of
Kolapore, a young Indian prince of about twenty
years of age, who was travelling for his education in
Europe, died at Florence after a short illness, and his
funeral rites were performed according to Hindoo
tradition. The greatest interest was excited in the
city, and all the principal visitors and inhabitants
were present at the ceremony, though it took place
at one in the morning. An Italian paper, which
gives full details of the death and the funeral, says
the Prince when he found lie was dying, in-
sisted on being laid on the carpet with
his legs crossed, in which posture be died.
The Prince's aide-de-camp, assisted by the members
of the British Legation at Florence, at once took
steps at the municipality to have the rites Perforrred
according - to Hiudoo fashion. The corpse was
dressed in splendid robes, with a large scarlet mantld
embroidered with gold, an 1 with pearl necklace
and bracelets. A. very large crowd was assembled at the
spot. The funeral pile was four and a half

feet in height and the same in breadth,
being six feet long. Camphor and per-
fumes • were scattered Over it, and when
the corpse had been laid there, betel was placed in
the mouth, while a Brahmin wearing a white
linen rah° offered up prayers while kneading
dough. This dough, broken into pieces, was placed
by the side of the body, and wood being piled over
it, the whole was fired. The board on which
the body had laid was thrown • into the
river, and the attendants kept on throwing
perfumes on the pyre. At nine o'clock
water was poured on the smouldering ashes
and when they were extinguished the remains
were gathered together and placed in a porcelain
vase. The bones will be hereafter cast into the
Ganges; as the Indians believe that those whose
bones are thrown into that river will enjoy a million
happy, years.

THE AMERICAN DEVIL.

The "American devil," or "buzzer," which
makes night hideous, and deprives the hardworking
people of Manchester of sleep, nature's sweet re-
storer, is doomed. The municipal representatives
have been compelled to give attention to the noisy
"fiend," and it is intended to ask Parliament for a
summary power to deal with him. Other towns
which are equally afflicted with the whistler, will
doubtless emulate the example of cottonopolis. There
Is, however, some goodness in things evil, and
a capital suggestion has been made respect-
ing this tormentor. It is thought that if the
whistler were used by pointemen in foggy weather,
accidents on the railway would in many cases be
avoided. The suggestion will—or at least should—
commend itself to the attention of railway directors.
The instrument could be worked by compressed air.
In the event of the "American devil-" being adopted
for railway purposes, his Satanic Majesty would cer-
tainly prove to be not so black as he is painted.

ABDUCTION.

The daughter of a shopkeeper, named Fulman, residing
at Enniskillen, who some weeks since was forcibly car-
ried away by two women, who placed her in a carriage
and drove off with her, has been traced to a Roman
Catholic convent in Dublin. Her father, who is an
Orangeman, has removed and placed her under the care
of the rector of Swanlindar. It is stated that a police-
constable and his daughter were concerned in the abduc
tion, and that the matter will give rise to legal pro-
ceedings.

The London School Board will meet at the Coun
cil Chamber in the Guildhall, on Thursday next.

NIILITARY ROAD ENGINES.

The War Department late'ly or:lered an investiga-
tion to be made on the subject of steam traction
on roads,. and an engine of eight-horse power
was obtained, in order that drivers and stokers
might be trained for an emergency. A. short time
ago some interesting experiments were made
near Lincoln with a new engine. It was
intended for the conveyance of heavy war stores
and the lighter stores of the commissariat. The
Lincoln road-steamer is of 12-horse power, and it
exercises were performed in the most satisfactory
manner. The train, which contained forty-five pas-
sengers went up a steep hill at a quick rate,
turned round in a small circle, and went down
the hill without slackening its speed. This
success is owing to the india-rubber tires
and also to the use of a single steering wheel in front'
by means of which the movements of the train were
easily controlled. Another experiment, which was
happily accomplished, was drawing a gross load of
ten tons up a steep bill, over a road surface, which
was wet, soft, and slippery. This engine possesses a
degree of handiness which has not before boen attained
in constructions of the kind. Its facility of manipula-
tion is increased by the engines being compound, so
that a fly-waeel is dispensed with, and the steamer
can be quickly reversed ; and the vertical arrange-
ment of its boiler allows it to go up and clown steep
inclines without endangering the furnace by want of
water, which would be the case if arranged horizontally.
It is believed that when some further improvements
in construction have been made, all the drudgery of
conveyance on roads may be accomplished by steam
power at half the cost of horses. For military pur-
poses these engines can be kept in store, and will
only cost money when they are actually at work.

GRANTS TO THE ROYAL FAMILY.

Mr. Rylmuls, the member for Warrington, has in-
formed his constituents that he intends to set his
face against grants to members of the Royal family,
so we may imagine the hon. gentleman will oppose
the national dower to the Princess Louise on the
occasion of her marriage with the Marquis of Lorne.
Those who are acquainted with Mr. Rylands' politi-
cal opinions will not be in the slightest degree sur-
prised at his avowal, and the intimation is only
noteworthy from the circumstance that ho is the
first member of Parliament who has given notice of
his intention in this respect.
EXPENSES OF THE NAVY.

LORD PALMERSTON AND SCIENCE.

Mr. Arthur Helps, in the current number of the
Contemporary Review, tells us of a hitherto unknown
taste of Lord Palmerston's. There was, he says, no
discovery in science during his time which
he did not read about, and, as far as
he could, master. When travelling by railway
on a long journey he would for the firs
fifty miles work at his official boxes. Then lie would
have a little talk with his companions, and then he

vv wild bring out from his capacious 'great " coat
packets, some scientific• paper, the last thing pub-
lished by • the Astronomical Society, or the
last discovery in optics, and he would
bury himself in it until the end of the
journey. The only works which ever took the place
of science were works relating to
.the grammar of
Jereign languages. Shortly belore his death he
wrote to Mr. Helps, desiring him to cause
tome scientific inquiries to be made on a
matter concerning the public welfare, relating to the
ossible presence of small animalcuhe or fungoid
spores. This had not been suggested to him by any
scientific man, but was merely his own idea, his
s tidies having led him to believe an investigation of
the kind might lead to important practical results.

NO PREPARATION.

Lord Ormathwaite thinks Earl Russell has done
the country a service in his recent letters on the embodi-
ment of a Militia force of 100,000 men, and remarks :
"The Duke of Wellington once deprecated our
engaging in a great war on a peace establish-
ment. But is not this exactly
,what we are
doing at the present moment Our relations with
Russia continue in a very uncertain and menacing state.
Prince Gortschakoff's circular has been met, at the in-
stance of Prussia, by a proposal for a Congress. If it
meets, its labours may lead to some settlement, or it
may be only a device to gain time. Let us use the time,
as our opponents certainly will. In the event of a war
with Russia have we the means of engaging in it suc-
cessfully ? A war between England and Russia must be
principally a naval one. That Power is more vulnerable
by sea than any other. A strong fleet in the Black
Sea, and another in the Baltic, would hermetically seal
her up. Land operations against Constantinople would
be extremely difficult in the face of an enemy command-
ng all the communications by sea. In order, however,
to carry on naval operations upon this scale,
we require two strong fleets in addition to
the Channel Squadron, which it would be im-
possible to reduce. We may be preparing for all this,
but no note of preparation is audible. The public believe,
I think, correctly, that should what diplamatists call " the
serious complications " of the Russian question involve
us in war, we should have to engage in it, after more
than half a year's warning, with exactly the same forces
we numbered in the peaceful month of June."
