NEW EDITION OF THE STATUTES.

Some papers are issued which relate to the pro-
posed new edition of the statutes in force at the
present day. It appears that great advantages will
be derived if the plan is carried out. A chronological
table and an index will render more intelligible
the hitherto mysterious mass of British laws. The
compilation of the new edition will cost, Lord
Chelmsford thinks, 21,000, exclusive of the expense
of printing, and there is every probability of the work
being out in a short time. The means of readily
ascertaining what is the existing statute-
law on any given subject must be
of great value to all concerned in
any way in the administration or use of the law.
Without systematic arrangement, no clue can be ob-
tained to important details which lie hidden amongst
heaps of legislation. Only an occasional
'reference to repealed or expired enactments
will be found in the new work. It is
well that Government has taken the matter out of
hands of private enterprise, as a memorandum
respecting it says that a revision will be necessary
after each session of Parliament, and therefore the
type will be always kept standing, a consideration
that would prevent any publisher from undertaking
such a work on his own account.

HORSE LICENSES.

A. letter to the Times calls attention to what Seems
to be a considerable hardship inflicted on the public
by the recent change in the charges for assessed
taxes. An old principle of political economy was
that articles and places used solely for public purposes
should be exempt from taxation, either local or
general. Under this system the principle applied id
horses used for the purpose of drawing materials for
the repair of the highways, but under the
recent Act nc such exemption can be claimed.
It was formerly usual to employ the teams of neigh-
bouring farmers for this purpose, paying them for the
use thereof ; but as that is a use for hire they are
now reluired to take out a license, at a costof 10s. 6d.
annually for each horse so employed. Thus, in
one parish alone the cost of such licenses
is said to amount to between £2O and
£25, and though this parish has forty-one
miles of highway to maintain with stones got from
the bed of a river, yet it is evident that every parish
in the kingdom will suffer more or less in a similar
manner.

THE iLLEGED CONSPIRACY IN PARIS.— le
Public says It appears certain that the preliminary
investigation of the February plot is approaching a
termination. The number of citizens who will be sent
before the Cour d'Assises will not be less than forty or
fifty. The necessary forms and the preparation of the
technical documents will occupy so much time that the
trial cannot be expected to come on before the latter end
of April."

THE NEW STRIKE AT ()RE U SUT

a -
In addition to the particulars of the new strike at
Creusot supplied by the telegraph, the Figaro has the
following :—On Monday morning the miners went down as
usual to their work in the pits, but at about eleven o'clock
three individuals notorious as extreme intriguers, descended
the St. Paul pit and informed the workmen that the Re-
public had been proclaimed at Paris. That was enough to
bring the men out of the pit, as well as out of St. Peter's pit.
The men in the Chaptal and Moineaux mines, however, re.
fused to knock off. In the evening, at six o'clock, only
half the men of the night shift went down to their work.
In reply to the remonstrances of the overlookers and
buttys, the men on strike said. "As the Republic is pro-
claimed, there is no necessity for us to work." On Tues-
day morning four-fifths of the men of the St. Peter and
St. Paul pits failed to turn up at the usual hour,. while a
band of some fifty or sixty men put out the engine fires,
thereby stopping the pumps and rendering all work in the
mines impossible. The same band proceeded to other pits,
and by the same means.reduced thefil to inactivity. They
then marched to the forges and workshops, but were re•
pulsed by the workmen there, who refused to knock off.
The affair is thus a serious one,' but the motives for it are
so strange and absurd that it cannot last. It is, however,
to be feared that much mischief may be done in the mean-
time. The sous-prefet and the procureur imperial sent off for
troops on the first alarm, which were immediately dis-
patched to the scene of the disturbance. On Tuesday night
M. Schneider was informed of thestrike whilst in the Corps
Legislatif. When he left the house he had an interview
with the Emperor, and took a special train to Creusot,
where he arrived yesterday morning. This is not a strike
bat an insurrection. The movement is entirely political,
and has not even the pretence of being a protest against
the management or regulations of the mines.
The Grelot (a non-political journal of Creusot) propheti-
cally observed on the 19th instant :—" This districts gets
on well, and something will be made of it. Every day
are sold 30 Rappels, 50Rereils, and 150 Mairseillaise. The
soil is prepared, the seed is good, a little sunshine only is
now wanted, and then let the mines look to it !"

POISONING FOXHOUNDS.

Some alarm exists in the Queen's county, hitherto
a peaceable district, in consequence of the poison-
ing of the foxhounds some days ago. The occur-
rence is taken as indicating that the Ribbon spirit
has now seized on one of the quietest districts in Lein-
sten When the Hunt were near Mountrath, as one
gentlemen passed by, several of the people were heard to
shout, "A fine day for the Hunt, but a bad one for the
grand jury." Shortly afterwards, on the way to the
covert (poison having been placed on the road) three of
the hounds died almost instantaneously. The pack was
then brought to a gentleman's place, close by, where an
emetic was administered. The cause of the outrage ap-
pears to be the part that Mr. Cosby, master of the
hounds, took with regard to the grand jury reso-
lution on the state of Ireland. A short time
since any one who would attempt to trap a fox in the
county would have been considered a mean criminal by all
the fuming population. This outrage is, therefore, the
more unhappily significant of a demoralisation of the pea-
santry. The atrocity is the worse, as Mr. Cosby has been
very popular, and has lately spent about £30,000 in int-
proventa on his property.

THE 51sT REGIMENT.

Colonel STUART KNOX asked the Secretary of State for
War whether his attention had been called to a letter in
the Times of the 21st instant, headed " Military Mis-
management," in which it was stated that `• the 51st
Regiment embarked on the 2d instant at Portland for
Cork in her Majesty's ship Orontes. That although they
were entitled by the regulations to convey baggage
to the measurement of some 4,000 cubic
feet, the captain of the Orontes, after some
2,076 cubic feet of said baggage was put on board, refused
to take more, alleging that his baggage room was full.
That the baggage thus left behind belonged principally to
the married men. and that no less than forty unfortunate

THE TEST BALLOT.

The ballot at Bristol passed off with exemplary
good order. The system of voting was the same as
that provided in Mr. Leatham's measure, with the
exception of the initials in invisible ink, which are
appended by au official to prevent the Australian
dodge. That precaution was, of course, not needed
at Bristol. Every elector had received a circular with
scrip showing his number on the register, and informing
him where he had to vote. On presenting his scrip,
it was compared with the register, and he received
in return a perforated card, bearing the name of the
three candidates printed in different colours. The
elector then retired to a place where, protected from
c,bservation, he erased the names of the two candi-
dates for whom he did not intend to vote. The card
was then folded and deposited in the ballot-box in
the presence of the inspectors appointed on behalf of
each candidate. It now remains only for Mr.
Hodgson's and Mr. Odger's supporters to abide
by the result, and to support Mr. Robinson.

THE MAORI RACE.

The Maories of New Zealand must be a more Intel-
ligent race than most people have taken them for, if
the native -petition sent by Colonel Hadfield to the
Times is genuine in all respects. From it one might
suppose that the aboriginals of New Zealand have
not the slightest wish to rebel against the Queen,
and that they have a just grievance in the iniquitous
way in which their land has been taken from them.

THE GOVERNMENT TRAMWAYS BILL.

. A. deputation from the various vestries and local
boards of the metropolis have had an interview with
Mr. Shaw Lefevre on the subject of the
Government Tramways Bill. It was pointed
'out by the deputation that there was no
opposition to tramways, but that there was a general
desire that they should be laid down according to
some fixed plan. It was also suggested that the duty
of devising, constructing, and managing suoh scheme
should be conferred upon some central representative
authority. Mr. Shaw Lefevre promised to consider
the matter, and thought the opinions of the united
vestries of the Metropolis should be heard by the
Select Committee, who now have the. Bill before
them. •

SUBURBAN RACE COURSE SCENES.

A correspondent of the Times wiites to complain
of the excesses attending theltingsbury Races,. which
he terms " a three days' gambling revel with the
sanction of the powers that be." He encloses a
sealed sample of the foul language used on the occa-
sion within a short distance of the village school, for
the editor's private consideration, and graphically
describes the general scene. There was, he
says, the usual attendance of the unmitigated
rough, with that almost indescribable race of
light-trousered, mouldy-looking men, who appear to
be a special creation of all such meetings as these.
These gentlemen were to the fore in great force,
never ceasing to rave, in coarse, stentorian voices,
that " bar vun," (by the way he adds, how is it there
is always that proverbial one ? ) they'd bet
agin anythink 'as 'ad a tail and four legs,
to "run on," or, as they elegantly expressed it, "I'll
bet agin them runners." The writer says even the
races themselves are a mere prostitution of the term,
got up solely by the promoters for the purposes of
the gate money; and preserve all the vices
of a recognised meeting, without the responsibility
that leavens them. What, he asks, would Admiral
nous say to a gang winning five hundred pounds, as
they did at these so-called races? In conclusion he
denounces the waste of the ratepayers' money by
the attendance of the police at such places,
and asks whether these parasitical meetings
cannot be stopped by making it illegal to demand
gate money, without which they could not exist ?
If other etlbrts fail, he thinks the time has arrived
for all the dwellers north, east, south, and west of
the metropolis to call a public meeting to consider
some means of freeing their homes from the daily
i4cretizinz wave of vagt_tbondism that threatens to

Henry Allen, alias Jacobs, a young Creole, was charged
with having obtained money from several persons under
the pretence that he brought them from America boxes
on which there were duck charges to pay. The prisoner
courted the daughter of one of his dupes, and was ac-
cepted. Preparations were made for the wedding,
And money was freely given to the prisoner, who suddenly
decamped. The girl this morning threatened to tear his
eyes out for his perfidy. The prisoner has served with the
British army in Canada, and has been some time in this coun-
try, including three years' penal servitude, and twice for
three months as a rogue and vagabond. Hs was committed

THE CENTRAL HALL

Mr. Ar.THUR GUEST asked if there was any objection
on the part of the Government to state the course they
intend to adopt with regard to the completion of the
Central Hall.

Mr. GLADSTONE said there would be no objection to
state the course to be adopted as soon as ever it was ful:y
decided what was to be done. It would be but to wait
until the estimates were under consideration, when the
particulars would be fully stated.
THE NAVAL RETIREMENT.

Mr. FLINBURY-TRACEY asked the First Lord of the
Admiralty whether in framing his scheme of retirement
he had taken into consideration the case of the reserved
commanders M N, who appear to have been reserved
under the same conditions and by the same Order in
Council as the reserved captains F G ; and if he would
state what difference existed between the two classes.
Mr. CHILDERS said that consideration had been given
to the claims of all officers before the scheme of retire-
ment was decided on.

ALLEGED RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES IN

NEW ZEALAND.

Mr. MAGNIAC inquired whether the statement were
trite that hostilities had been renewed in New Zealand.
Mr. MONSELL replied that the Government had
received no suchlnformation, and that the latest dispatcheb
were favourable.

THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE COLONIES.

Mr. MACFIE inquired whether when the subject of the
relations between the United Kingdom and the Colonies
came on for discussion there would be a full discussion.
Mr. GLADSTONE said it would entirely depend upon the
discretion of the hon. member who had made the motion.
He should be sorry if anything on the part of the Govern-
ment happened to induce them to place any impediment
in the way of a free discussion.

PERTITRY AND DIVORCE.

The series of prosecutions for perjury in connec-
tion with the Godrich divorce case has collapsed.
The absurdity of the process at last came home to
one of our magistrates. After the chief witnesses in
this affair had been prosecuted, Mr. Godrich
made a laudable attempt to convict Mrs. Godrich for
the same offence. He has not, however, been
successful. The case was investigated at the
Guildhall PoliCe Court. It was acknowledged on
all hands that Mrs. Godrich had made a statement
which was incorrect; but the prosecutor failed
altogether to prove that this erroneous evidence was
given corruptly or wilfully. In fact, the magistrate
saw no reason to conclude that Mrs. Godrich had not
stated what she believed to be the truth. The
prosecution, therefore, broke down. The public took
the matter in hand, and unmistakably shewed that
it had had enough of this disgraceful case.
Mr. Godrich was hissed, and had to be taken
out of court by " a back way ; " whilst
Mrs. Godrich was loudly cheered. Whether this
measure of popular support was justifiable need -mot
be considered ; but this check upon these perjury
prosputions in divorce cases seems to have been
much needed.

ADJOURNMENT OF COURTS.

The subject of the expense entailed on the country
by the constant adjournment of courts of all kinds,
has been' brought forward lately, and one London
magistrate expressed his opinion strongly about
the unnecessary remands constantly taking
place of prisoners in criminal cases. Apropos
of the subject, a return has been issued of
the number of days upon which the Judge
of the High Court of Admiralty sat during last year,
specifying the number of causes heard during those
days, and the number of times each of those
causes were adjourned. We find that 142 causes
were heard in the year, out of which forty-nine were
adjourned—one five times, one four times, three
three times, ten twice, and thirty-four once. An ex-
planation accompanies this return, showing that an
'adjournment in this court frequently arises from
the absence of witnesses. Sailors, of which
class most of the witnesses in Admiralty
causes consist, being of a migratory character,
it is rendered necessary to take their evidence when
it can be got, and then to adjourn the court until
the rest of the witnesses have returned to this
country. This reasoning, though applying to this
particular instance, can hardly be urged with regard
to the business of other courts.

WOMEN AS GRAND JURORS.

The first grand jury ever known to be composed of
women was assembled at a town in the territory of
Wyoming, to the far west of the United States.
Some of the American papers, it may have been
noticed, treated this event somwhat jocularly. Not so
the Chief Justice, who addressed the lady jurors.
The rights of women, he said, were making rapid
progress. Tie has long been of opinion that women
should be given powers to defend themselves ; and it
had happily fallen to their lot to be the pioneers in
the movement. "There is not the slightest impro-
priety in any lady occupying this position, and I wish
to assure you that the protection of the Court shall
be accorded to you. It would be a most shameful
scandal that in our temples of justice and in our
courts of law anything should be permitted which
the most sensitive lady might not hear and witness
with propriety. It seems to be eminently proper for
women to sit upon grand juries, which will give
them the best possible opportunities to aid in sup-
pressing the dens of infamy which curse the
country." Not one of the ladies drawn asked to be
excused,

for the Home Deliartment whether he would lay before
the House any correspondence that had passed between
the Home Office and the justices of the peace for the
county of Lanark relative to the refusal of a license for the
erection of a gunpowder magazine in proximity to the
Steps Station of the Caledonian Railway, or any corre-
spondence with the parties promoting the erection of the
magazine ; and whether he would state if such licence had
been since granted by the Government for its erection.
Mr. BRUCE said a license had been granted. With
respect to correspondence, it was very voluminous, and if
the hon. gentleman thought any public good would be
done by its publication, after he sent he should have no
objection to its being printed.

TURNPIKES.

Lord GEORGE CAVENDISH asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Department whether he intended to bring
in a bill during the session relating to turnpike roads in
England and Wales; and, if not, what he proposed to do
in reference to the trusts nameU in the fourth and fifth
schedules of the Turnpike Act Continuance Bill of 1869.
Mr. BRUCE said he did not propose to introduce such
a bill. With respect to the second part of the question, with
respect to the expiration of certain trusts, they intended
to adopt the recommendations of the committee which sat
last year on the subject.

THE TRIAL OF PRINCE BUONAPARTE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

TOURS, March 25.

The trial of Prince 13nonaparte was continued to-
day. The President informed the counsel engaged
in the case, that he will put before the jury to-day
as the result of the trial the question whether
the Prince was not justified by provocation in
acting as he did ?

M. Jeroux said that he would plead that the Prince
had only acted in his legitimate defence.
Doctors Sardieu and Pinel were confronted, when
a juryman asked Dr. Sardieu if Victor Noir, being
mortally wounded, could holn his hat in his hand
while falling?
Dr. Sardieu replied affirmatively.

THE FUNDING BILL IN AMERICA.—The Funding
Bill has been passed in the Senate at Washington, after a
prolonged debate. Several amendments to it were pro-
posed, one of which extended the time in which the four
and a half bonds should be paid from thirty to forty years,
while another authorised the organisation of banks on a
capital of $50,000, instead of $lOO,OOO. Both these amend-
ments were accepted, but all others refused, and the bill
was carried by a vote of 32 to 10. A delegation of bankers
bad a conference with the Secretary of the Treasury
before the bill was finally carried, and proposed a
Change in it which should not compel them
to exchange their present bonds at a lower rate of interest.
They did not, however. obtain much encouragement from
i3outwell.

THE MALT TAX.

A memorial has been forwarded to the Chancellor
of the Exchequer by authority of the committee of
the National Temperance League, on the malt
tax. Among other things, it shews that as beer
has no special claim to be exempt from
the taxation imposed upon alcoholic liquors, the
great mass of consumers are not dissatisfied with the
present arrangement of imposts, and have no wish
for the repeal or transfer of the duty upon malt. It
argues that the great opposition it would create,
the existence of other imposts the remission
of which would give greater relief, the enlightenment
of the people as to the non-nutritiousness of beer and
its tendency to produce intemperance, are alike
against the repoal of the tax. The memorialists
further contend that the excessive sum of
eight millions a year spent on intoxicating liquors,
the quantity of good grain used in its production,
the delusion to the farmer of an increased demand,
if any should be produced, and the increase of
poverty and crime which would involve him as
well as other classes in the payment of any new
taxes that might be imposed, should operate in
inducing him to ask the Government to refuse the
repeal. For this and other reasons set forth, the
memorialists earnestly express a hope that the malt
tax will neither be repealed, reduced, nor trans
ferred.

THE MARSEILLES LAND COMPANY.

Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P., writes to the Pall Mall
Gazette to point out that he had no suspicion of the
£5,000 paid to the National Bank coming out of the
funds of the Marseilles Land Company. "I had
always been assured that all commissions were to
be paid by the Credit Foncier. I saw no reason
to disbelieve, and I entirely believed, that assurance.
I had not the least ground for suspecting, and
I did not suspect, that it was in any way incorrect.
In fact, the Vice-Chancellor, in the end, gave his
actual decision against the motion on the ground
that it was not even proved that the money did come
out of the funds of the Marseilles Company at all.
The Credit Fonder was not before the court, and the
Vice-Chancellor observed that they might be able to
prove that they paid it out of their own money, and
not out of the money of the Marseilles Company."
The money was undoubtedly paid ; but it came from
the Credit Foncier, with which Mr. Harvey Lewis
has nothing to do. But the fact is that the Credit
Foncier floated the Marseilles Company. Some of
the directors of the National Bank were directors
of the Credit Foncier, -and others (amongst them
Afr. Lewis) of the Land Company. If they were
not all answerable for this transaction, they ought to
have been,

THE MARQUIS OF LOTHIAN AND MR. LEATHAM.

Mr. Leatham, M.P., has written to the Times in
reply to the letter of the Marquis of Lothian on the
subject of the eviction which the former alleged to
have taken place on the estate of his lord-
ship. The Mr. Leatham says he is sur-
prised at the whole tenour of the letter
which the Marquis of Lothian has thought it
proper to write with regard to his connection with
the notorious Timpoendean case. He admits that
no one denies the right of the Marquis, as claimed in
his letter, to refuse the renewal of a lease on sufficient
grounds. To refuse the renewal, however, because
his tenant has dared to vote against him is
not, Mr. Leathan contends, to do so on
sufficient grounds. He denies having made any
" attack" or " onslaught " upon the Marquis
of Lothian, and says that he merely repeated state-
ments in the House of Commons to which, as a
member of the committee on elections, it was his
duty to listen, and as a member of that committee
to report to the House.

A LABOUR OF LOVE.

M. Edmund W. Holland, as one of the most inti-
mate friends of the late Mr. Denison, M.P., relates
a circumstance in the life of the deceased, not,
he says, vulgarly to proclaim the virtues and
self-denying energy of the good man, but to
induce others to follow his example. Mr. Denison,
says Mr. Holland, founded a small school of children
gathered in a little ground-floor room of one
of tie worst streets in East London. The children
were taught, Mr. Denison taking part and " reasoning
with them out of the Scriptures.' As the work pro-
gressed, he built a schoolroom, where now upwards of
100 children, formerly street arab3, assemble.
Rags and filth have given place to decent
zlotlies, clean faces, and combed heads. The ser-
vices are attended by men and women of the poorest
,lass. A. penny bank and mother's meeting are
doing their good work, and the people, adds Mr.
flolland, all speak of Mr. Denison with deep grati-
tude, the faces of little children lighting up at the
mention of his name. He expresses a wish that some
tribute should be erected to the memory of his friend.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY AND THE PUBLIC.

It is satisfactory to know that the Dean and
Chapter of Westminster Abbey are desirous of
making this n(ble and national edifice available for
the improvement and edification of the whole com-
munity. A still greater source of satisfaction, how-
ever, is the fact that they have determined to give
to that desire a practical effect. From the 28th
inst., every Monday will be set apart for the free
admission of the public—not only as on other days,
to the nave and transept, but to the Royal Chapels
between the hours of service, from eleven
a.m. to three p.m., and again from four p.m. to the
closing of the doors at six p.m.—the latter hours
extending, of course, to that portion of the year when
the longer days admit of it. As before, no remune-
ration is to be given on any account. The Dean and
Chapter promise, should the good behaviour of the
visitors warrant it, to make further concessions.

LORD HOBART ON DISARMAMENT.

Lord Hobart. says the imperfect faith which lie
placed in the proposal of a general disarmament by.
France seems unfounded ; in fact if the report is
spoken of to a Frenchman, he replies, "Of course,
disarmament must be simultaneous.," and appeals to
your sense of justice to say whether France or
England ought to begin. His lordship admits
the difficulty of England takinc, the initiative,
after the increase of expenditure she has made in
this direction, but adds, "Let France England, or
any other of those great nations whose motto is
Defence, not Defiance," unbiassuid by the weight of
individual interests, set themselves seriously to con-
sider whether, by emptying the pockets and para-
lysing the industry of their people for the purpose of
maintaining these mighty armies and fleets, they are
really dOing that which is most effectual against hos-
tile aggression, and I venture to say that a general
disarmarnentwill before long be not only proposed
but adopted."

THE MORALITY OF FIELD SPORTS.

➢lr. Ruskin takes up the field sports' discussion.
Repeating strong opinion publicly expressed thirty
years ago, on the subject of field sports, he
says the reprobation of fox-hunting on the
ground of cruelty to the ' fox is entirely futile,
and asserts that more pain is caused to the draught-
horses of London in an hour, by avariciously over-
loading them, than to all the foxes in England by the
hunts of the year. The real evils of fox-hunting,
he contends, are that it wastes the time,
misapplies the energy, exhausts the wealth,
narrows the capacity, debases the tastes, and abates the
honour of the upper classes of this country. Athletic
training given by foxhunting, Mr. Ruskin admits, is
excellent, but he adds that it ought always to be in
real service to their country, "in personal agricul-
tural labour at the head of their tenantry; and in
extending English life and dominion in waste regions,
against the adverse powers of nature. Let them
become Captains of Emigration ;—hunt down the
foxes that spoil the Vineyard of the World; and
keep their eyes on the leading hound, in packs of

SOCIETY IN ROME,

Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 10th, says
that the salons of the Barberine Palace were opened on
Saturday with a ball from which all foreigners were
rigidly excluded by way of privacy, "a contrast
to the extreme facility of last season The
ball, however, went off so heavily, and the Roman
guests were so dull, that a return to the mixed
system on proper presentation has been re-
solved on, as the jeunesse doree of Rome protested
vigorously at the exclusion of the fair foreigners who render
Roman ball rooms so brilliant. The sarcasms of the Prince
de Valoii's witty sketches of Roman society " Les Lettres
d'un Croyant (Dentie)" have been severely felt by the
Roman noblesse, and the more so that they were fully
merited, and they have done great good in the ridicule
they have thrown on the pretensions of several of the
parvenu Roman houses. Considerable discussion has
been caused by the refusal of the Marquis De
Banneville as senior of the Corps Diplomatique,
to admit either Mr. Odo Russell or M. Capteist, the Rus-
sian consular agent, to the honours of a place in the
diplomatic gallery at the Christmas ceremonies. The
celebrated Parisian preacher, the Abbe Frappee, will, it
is said, be raised to the see of Angers in a few weeks.
Ho is a Moderate in opinions, and would be a welcome
choice of the French Government, 'as well as being
popular at the Vatican."
