THE LINCOLNSHIRE HANDICAP.

Foremost in interest, so far as date is concerned, among
the spring handicaps, is the Lincolnshire, which is to be
run on the 15th of February. Sixty-seven horses
have been nominated for it. The Field selects
Islam, Miss Dayrell, Van Amburgh, Storter, Cocoa-
nut; and the Grasshopper filly as tho most dangerous:
of the horses engaged, and gives its first preference to
Islam, with the Grasshopper filly or Cocoa-nut next.
"Islam, 7st flub., trained by Mr. Scott, at Holywell—is
perhaps the best handicapped horse in the race. Few
individuals who saw the gallant fight Islam made with
Pretender for the Great Northern Leger at Stockton, will
deny that Islam is well in at Lincoln, and if he is pre-
pared for the handicap, his chance is second to that of no
horse engaged.
The Sporting Life chooses the following as the best
horses :—Cardinal of York (4 yrs., Sst. 121 b.), Islam (4 yes..
ist. flub.), Cocoanut (4 yrs., ist. 21b ), Birthday (4 yrs., 7st.),
Cymbal (3 yrs., fist. 101 b.), Queen of Hearts (3 yra.,
fist. 101 b.), Anlace (4 yrs., fist. 101 h.), Stephanotis (3 yrs.,
fist. 91b.), Carnival colt (3 yrs., sst. 101. b.)
The Sportsman thinks that not one of the Sst. division,
which numbers fifteen, can be said to be well in. Uncas
must be wonderfully favoured at 7st. 121 b., if ho retains
any of the form he shewed at Newmarket, the last
two seasons. Of Mr. Hodgman's three there is none to
fancy- Of Matthew Dawson's Stromboli, Stephanotis, and
the Leila. Colt, the first mentioned looks remarkably well
treated with Est. 41b. The brothers Peels have five
animals, of which the best seem to be Simplon, who
has only sst. 101 b. to carry, and who is a remarkably good-
looking animal. W. Day has the formidable string of
'Historian, Starter, Our Mary Ann, Benbow, Aulace, Maid
of Athol, and the Rosamond colt in training. Benbow,
65t. 121 b., has a good private reputation, and Blandford
seems very well dealt with at sst. 71b. Joseph Dawson's
best will prove to be Fugitive, who, if ho can stay the
mile, will cause his opponents some trouble. He possesses
a fine turn of speed. and we usually see the Lincoln race
won in the first three-quarters of a mile, as the animals
who ::re fast enough to secure the beet place at the
lower turn have such an advantage that they
almost invariably win. Goatees Grasshopper filly.
Est 41b is, in the opinion of the Sportsman, decidedly the
pick of the handicap, though it is an ominous sign that
she is not (ntered in the City and Suburban, for if she is
good enough to win at Lincoln, she must also have a great
chance at Epsom. "The best of the handicap certainly
appear to be Uncas, the Grasshopper filly, and W. Day's
best, and we shall, in all probability, see the winner spring
from one of this lot."

ELECTION NEWS.

Sir John Simeon has in some sort contradicted the
rumours of his retirement for the Isle of Wight by a
circular addressed to his constituents. Sir John says
that his health has been delicate during the recess,
and hence he has not addressed the electors. His
condition is now improving. The political agitation
at Norwich is at present all on the side of Sir E. J.
Harvey, the Conservative candidate. The friends of
Mr. Tillett, who has been mentioned in the Liberal
interest, are not particularly active.

THE RED RIVER INSURGENTS.

The Tall Mall Ga:ette has a special telegram from New
Yoras., which states that the Government organ of Toronto
blames Governor M`Dougall by implication, and says that
any attempt at rebellion or, _movement in favour of
annexation to the United States will bo promptly
suppro3sed. At the same time the just demands
of the half-breeds will be carefully considered.
It is added that the responsibility of completing the trans-
fer of territory rests with the Imperial Government and
the Hudson's Bay Company: The Government are said to
fully advised of the situation, and determined to restore
Jrder. Despatches from the Minnesota frontier report tho
arrest of the correspondents of the daily papers in Toronto.
The details of the execution of Salnavo in llayti have
been received. It was brought about through an alliance
with the anti-annexation party of. San Domingo, and this
ircumstance will, it is expected, delay the execution of
Progifilent Grant's treaty for the annexation of thA
republic to the United States.

TIIE LEGALITY OF TRADES' UNIONS.

The Court of Criminal Appeal on Saturday decided
that oft-disputed point, the legality of trades' unions.
The judges unanimously decided that though a trade
society's rules be according to a recent decision
illegal—in restraint of trade—yet this does not of
necessity disable the society from claiming the pro-
tection of the criminal courts. Though an associa-
tion be barred from civil action, it is not always shut
out from prosecuting a thief.

TURF REFORMS,

The sporting journals notice Sir Joseph Hawley's
scheme of turf reform, and, as might have been
expected, with.
,very favour. The Field says
that all the proposals are theoretically desirable by
those whose interests are not imperilled, but
s3veral are totally opposed to the very ex:stereo
of the tarf, and - cannot be carried out.
"We do not see on what minciple three-year-olds
are to be excluded from all handicaps while these
, 4 fly' traps are still allowed to exist. We quite agree
with the late Lord Derby in his denunciation of all
handicaps as premiums on fraud; but why allow
four-year-olds and upwards :o be used in this way,
-and prohibit all below that ago ?" The-Sportsman is
quite savage with the baronet, and. declares that ho is
seeking to abolish a system by which he has enriched
himself—though what this charge, even if it be true,
has to do with the actual merit of the reforms the

SHOCKING MURDER IN PARIS.

GaZignani's Messenger gives the account of a very
shocking murder which took place in Paris on Friday:
`•the tragedy occurred in the Rue du Faubourg St.
Honore. A lady named Lombart was murdered by
her footman, who also dangerously wounded the lady's
maid and the cook. The man during the day had had at. al-
tercation with his mistress, and when at about shz in the
evening she ordered him to serve the dinner, he rushed
at her with a knife and cut her throat, killing her on the
spot. The two female servants came to the whistance of
their mistress, and in the struggle which ensued ono was
cut so severely that her life is depi.aired cf. The murderer,
who is a Belgian by birth, and is believed ti have been at
the moment in a state of into.ticAtlon, wt.s eventually
•ceured by an upholsterer living in the house, and was
riven into custody of the police. A tertible detail in
connection with this crime Is that the husband of Mrs.
Lombart is stricken with paralysis, and saw his wife
murdered before him, without being able to afford her
assistance."

A Paris correspondent, writing on Saturday evening,
gives the subjoined account of the occurrence: —The story
told by Gatiptani was Out too true. Madame Lombart,
the wife of a former French Conztli.General in India,
residing in the Rue du Faubourg St. Ifonori,, was
killed by her servant in her husband's presence, he baing
paralytic, and unable to help her. The man way a
Belgian, and had been in M. Lombart's sersice about
six months. At six o'clock, iust as dinner was about
to be served, the servant, whose name is Francois,
came into the bedroom where Madame Lombart
was attending to her husband, who for years has been re-
duced to pass his days in an arm chair. Au altercation
took place between the mistress and the footman; and the
latter, who was drunk, lvsnt out to the diningevom and
returned with a carving-knife, with which he very nearly
cut off Madame Lombart's head. Tice husband, unable to
stir from his chair, saw his wife murdered almost within
arm's length of him. When 'he was quite dead Francois
rushed to the kitchen, where he fund the cook and alittle boy
from the porter's lodge below stairs. Their screams brought
to the spot the porter's wife and the cook of the
Viscountess de Fitz-James, a lady living in the same
house. The latter• woman attempted to disarm Francois
but ho disabled her by inflicting a very severe wound in
her throat. The coheierge then fled with her son ; and
thereupon the man struck with the knife at his fellow
servant. She, instinctively putting up her hands to
protect her head, received a terrible wound on her
wrist, the hand being nearly cut off. The neighbours
speedily called in the police, and the assassin was arrested.

EFFICIENCY OF THE COAST-GUARD.

The Army and :Navy Gazette says that Mr.

quietly and in a most business-like manner, a formid-
able steam reserve. This consists of the coast-guard
ships, which in future are all to be fitted for
sea, and ready to receive their men and provisions on
board at the shortest possible notice, and to proceed,
if necessary, to join the Channel and ➢lediterranean
squadrons. The crews will be supplied from the
Coastguard and Royal Naval Reserve men of the dif-
ferent districts.

THE POSITION IN NEW ZEALAND.

When the last advices left New Zealand every thing
was quiet, and promised peace. But the famous
despatch of Earl Granville insisting upon the imme-
diate withdrawal of the 18th Regiment, bad not even
then reached the colony. It had got to Melbourne,
however, and its contents were so gravely thought of
that the bills of the New Zealand Government, which
were easy before, became quite unsaleable. The. Spec-
tator is assured that the Maories were narrowly watch-
ing the chances of our colonists getting help. "Relays
of natives had been organised to carry inland the
news whether or not military help had been obtained
from Victoria, and there is no New Zealand colonist
in the country who is not full of alarm for the issue
when Earl Granville's pro-Maori dispatch is pub-
lished!' There is no doubt, says the Spectator, about

THE ARMY REDUCTIONS.

It will be noticed that many rumours are extant
regarding the reductions that are to be effected in
the army. Much of thecreliable information is suf-
ficient to show that the changes contemplated are by no
means inconsiderable. The John Bull understands that
every yeomanry regiment with less than four troops
is to be suppressed, and in no case is there to be a
second lieutenant-colonel, or a second major. The
drills are to be extended from seven days to thirty,
and every regiment is to be converted into mounted
rifles like the East Kent.. The paper remarks that
it would be perhaps more honest to suppress the
yeomanry at once, as that will be the practical result
of these changes, if they are carried out. The Court
Journal says that at a meeting held at the War
Office, to which Mr. Cardwell invited several com-
manding officers of yeomanry, it was stated that no
change would be made in the regimental organisation
for the year 1870. An extract from the Homeward Mail
calls attention to the loss by death of no less
than fifty men in the 12th Regiment. Upwards of a
hundred of the same regiment are sick in hospital at
Jubbulpore. This mortality and sickness raises the
question whether all the regiments can stand the
further reduction of two companies, when the troops
on foreign service are being thus decimated.

The Business is divided under two heads :-
Ist —The General or Ordinary Business, being the

The Liability of the Industrial Branch
does not admit of being estimated in the
same way as that of the General Branch,
on account of the very large proportion of
Policies which coestAntly laf se, so that
the bulk of the assurances are, in fact, risks

years' experience to be abundantly suffi-
cient.

ber, 1868, was £241,301 12 4
The average duration of the whole of

ROLLS' CIiAMBEI S.

This morning Mr. Handson (Messrs Fresh&ld),
on the part of the official liquidators, applied to Mr.
Chance, the chief clerk, for leave to appeal to the
House of Lords, in consequence of a recent decision
of one of the Vice-Chancellors in the matter of the
Joint Stock Discount Company, in which Barned's
Bank was interested to a large amount. The leave
was to apply to the House of Lords in the first in-
stance. The Chief Clerk asked whether the
amount involved was large? Mr. Handson said
more than £50,000. There might be two appeals
to the House of Lords. He produced the opinion
of Mr. Mellish, Q.C., in favour of the application.
The Chief Clerk sent the case to the Master of the
Rolls, on the question of appeal.

THE HUSH LAND MEASURE.

The Pall Mall Gazette says that though it does
not profess to be acquainted with Cabinet secrets, it
sees more clearly every day what direction the Irish
land measure will take, and within what moderate
limits it will be confined. The closer the cries of
wrong, and oppression . have been examined, the
less foundation lids —been found by Ministers
to exist for them. Therefore the measure, as it can-
not be popular, will be a right and a just one; and
being a right and just one, and not what Irish agi-
tators have urged the nation on to expect, there will
be at the first announcement of the Ministerial
scheme a violent opposition in some shape
or • other, if not an actual outbreak.
For this the Government will be very guilty
if it be not prepared. Fenianism by itself rs
insignificant; the only risk is lest the incendiary
papers which are its organs should stimulate the
people into some mad outburst of frenzy, which could
only be quenched in blood. This danger would
never have arisen had. it not been for
the inaction of the authorities. Again, the
alarming system of secret assassination derives
its formidable character from the inability of the law
to deal with it, and yet it is said that some of the
Cabinet hold out against any proposal to amend it.
The farmers' agitation is still more difficult- to deal
with. A year ago none but a few reckless spouters
ventured to speak of fixity of tenure. Now we have
allowed thousands to talk themselves into a belief that
it is their. right, and that they will.get it. When
they are rudely awakened from their foolish dream,
it is possible that the whole hostile elements of Irish
discontent may unite in a• Combined defiance of
Imperial ,authority. On the whole, the present
crisis is more grave than any former one in the
history of our relations with the sister country, and
when the Land Bill is brought forward, the Execu-
tive should be well prepared to suppress all sedition
and violence with a strong hand.

GAME.

The Warwickshire Chamber of Agriculture has
once more given the game laws a very severe hand-
ling. Mr. U. F. Muntz propounded a scheme to the
effect that the landlord should compensate the tenant
for any loss in excess of a fixed sum to be settled be-
tween the two. But this would not do for the majo-
rity of the Warwickshire farmers. They urged that
there would be endless difficulty iu determining what
the actual extent of damage might be. Mr. Wyke-
ham Martin, M.P., said he was preparing a bill to give
tenants the absolute right to kill rabbits, and rendering
null and void any reservation of such nuisances by
landlords. Mr. Davenport Bromley, M.P., contended
that the real difficulty arose from over-preservation of
game for battue purposes. And Mr. Newdegate
telegraphed his opinion, which was that there
should be a specific agreement between landlord
and tenant without the intervention of a third party.
The Chamber, however, gave no heed to this counsel,
but declared unanimously that hares and rabbits
should be the absolute property of the occupier, no
matter what agreement landlord and tenant might
come to,

AID TO EMIGRANTS.

A letter is published, sent by the Emigrants and:
Colonists' Aid Corporation to the governors of the
British colonies. The object is to point out
several modes, by either of which valuable assistance
may be rendered to what the Corporation. hope
and believe will become a national undertaking. The
particular modes of assistance specified are grants of
land, guarantees to loans, facilities in forwarding
emigrants to their destination, assistance in recovery
of advances, and grants in aid to recover losses.
A copy of this letter has been sent to Lord
Granville, who has replied. He informs the
secretary to the corporation that the only colonies to
which the Corporation is likely to send emigrants are
Canada, the Cape, Natal, or Australia. In all
these, except Natal and West Australia, the
management of the Crown landshas been surrendered
to the colonial Government's. Except, therefore,
in these two colonies, the Secretary of State could
not interfere. On the other heads, his lordship refers
the Corporation to 64 Colonial Governments. He
adds, that while he must decline, on the part of her
Majesty's Government, to give exceptional advan-
tages to the. Corporation, he will be ready to direct
the governors; of the colonies to afibrd information on
any specific points which persons interested in the
colonies may desire to know.

AN EMIGRATION EXPERIMENT.

Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., gives an interesting
account of au emigration experiment which ho made
a few years ago. At the end of the great strike of
engineers in 185* forty men wlti refused to accept
the masters' tams were assisted to Australia
by Mr. Vansittart, through the agency of
Mr. Hughes.. The total sum advanced was £1,200.
No legal security was, or could be, taken for the re-
payment; the men were plainly told that their honour
alone was depended on, and they accordingly agreed to
become jointly and severally responsible for the return
of the sum within from three to five years. At first the
money did not come in very rapidly, but in time a
remittance arrived. "To cut the story short, within
four years the whole of the money was
remitted, with interest from the date of
advance, which bad not been asked for, and
a piece of plate as an acknowledgment of Mr. Van-
sittart's help in their time of need. There were
several defaulters, but the joint liability had been
faithfully recognised and discharged in full." Mr.
Hughes thinks that this sort of scheme will almost
always answer. Some rogues there will be,
but the honest men will compensate for the defi-
ciencies of their brethren. Only make the whole
body responsible for the whole sum, and the collective
conscience will seldom fail.

MALLOW.

The Mallow contest is as uncertain of result as
elections—and particularly Irish elections—usually
are. It is indeed much more so. As things stand,
Major Knox, the Conservative candidate, is said to
have a "good chance;" but his hopes, and those of
all the other aspirants for the privilege of M.1.-ship
are (according to the Freeman) to be blasted to-day,
when the nomination takes place. On the hustings
somebody or other, it is not clear who, will propose
"a gentleman well known in Cork and most popular
in the country," to the discomfiture of "certain per-
sons." That gentleman will go to the poll ; so that
.
the whole organisation of both parties expect .% to
become useless.

ganda Press has been charged witlorAtsoAak. Several
magnificent archaeological works on the Catacombs,
Rossi it Roma, Lotteranca, Porret's Catacombs, and
Father Mulloly's " San Clemente," all noble specimens of
chromolithography, will be exhibited in the form of proof
copies and margins, and Monte Cassino will exhibit
some of the pages of its new catalogue of MSS., with
chromo-lithographic fac similes. The gold and silver plate
of the Sistine and St. Peter's, the richest and most ancient
reliquaries of the different Basilicas, the embroidery of
half the Sacristies of Rome, will be brought before the art
student in a classified form. The Messageries Imperiales

THE LIVERPOOL CA TASTROPTIE,

The inquest on the bodies of the fifteen persons who
were killed in the dreadful panic which occured on Sunday
week at the Grosvenor-street Roman Catholic Chapel w.la
resumed and completed on Friday. Some new light was
thrown on the cause of the alarm of fire being given by a
witness, who stated that one of the gaslights flared up,
through a burner apparently falling off. A cry of
"Fire" was then raised in the chapel, and it would
appear, was afterwards repeated by somebody in the
street through one of the w7nlows of the schoolroom
below just at the moment that a commotion was created
there by a drunken brawler, named Patrick Nevin. The
congregation in the chapel had candles with them for
the ceremony of "renewing their baptismal vows,"
but none of these were lighted, neither in the
schoolroom nor in the chapel, until after the panic had
occurred. The coroner told the jury that if it could be
proved that any one had wantonly cried "Fire," he should
have directed them to have found a verdict of manslaugh-
ter against that person; but, censurable as the conduct of
the drunken brawler was, he could not be held criminally-
responsible for the results of his misconduct,
because his act of itself was not one which was
likely to induce a panic. In this case, however,
there was no doubt that the confusion created by Nevin
took from the clergyman that influence which he otherwise
might have had over the congregation when the alarm of
fire was given. The jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the coroner's suggestion—that the calamity resulted
partly owing to the alarm of fire being given, and partly
in consequence of the disturbance created by Nevin. The
jury also considered that the north-west entrance of the
church would bo better if it was considerably wider.

TUE AUSTRIAN REICIISRATIL

A. telegram from Vienna, dated the 27th, states that
during the discussion of the Address, the deputies of the

on account of the incompatibility existing between the
Constitution and the rights of the Tyrol. The deputies of
the Italian Tyrol declared that thoy should remain in the
Reichsrath and would be faithful to the Constitution.

RUSSIAN PROGRESS IN CENTRAL ASIA.

The Goloss, of St. Petersburg, does not coincide with M.
Vambery's views on Central Asian politics, and declafes
that the progress of Russia in Central Asia began much
earlier than he supposes. In 1700 an envoy from the
Khan of Khiva appeared in Moscow to present
the Czar, Peter the Great, with a letter from
the Khan, in which he asked that his country
might be incorporated with the Russian Empire.
Tu 1714, and again in 1716, Prince Bekovitch-Tcherkaski
was sent to make the necessary preparations for construct-
ing a fortress in the harbour of Krasnovodosk, and the
stronghold was eventually built by Colonel Van der
Binden, but it was abandoned shortly after, having been
besieged by the Turcomans. The ruins of this fortress
still exist. The Goloss shows that these facts prove
the occupation of the Bay of Krasnovodosk to
be by no means a new idea, but a Russian historical
tradition. It states that the immediate object of Russian
policy in Central Asia is Bokhara, and that Russia is in
possession of the best road to that country by Samarcand,
which passes through populous districts.

111/1 BEVERLEY ELECTION INQUIRY.

On Saturday, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Sir John
Larslake moved for a mandamus calling upon the com-
missioners appointed to inquire into corrupt practices at
Beverley, to grant Francis Burrell a certificate of indemnity
for the answers to questions which tended to criminate
him. The learned counsel stated that Mr. Burrell had
answered a question with reference to the using of £55 for
the purpose of bribery at the municipal election in 1867
on behalf of Mr. Barkworth. Mr. Burrell said he did not
recollect, but it appeared that Mr. Barkworth had after-
wards said that he had placed £55 in the bank, to be used for
bribery. Mr. Burrell wrote to the Commissioners telling
them that he recollected since Mr. Barkworth's evidence
that he took the £55 or £65 from the bank, but they
refused to receive it, and now kept back the certificate.
Sir John Karslake referred to the Act of Parliament, and
contended that the witness had answered the questions
satisfactorily, and that therefore the Commissioners were
bound to grant a certificate.
Ms. Justice Blackburn said there was no pretence in
this as was the case at Bridgwater, for saying that the
Commissioners had harrassed or attacked the witness. It
was for the Commissioners to decide whether the witness
itad answered honestly and bond fine. This Court would
...ot interfere unless they had good grounds for believing
that the Commissioners had acted wrongly in the matter.
His own opinion was that the witness had not acted
honestly.
Sir John Karslake said the witness had admitted being
guilty of bribery in every way, and the intention of the
Legislature was to grant an immunity for all those
questions which tended to criminate. He submitted that
a mandamus should issue to allow a jury to decide whether
the witness had answered satisfactorily and honestly to
meet the requirements of the Act.
The court delivered judgment, and refused the rule nisi
for a mandamus. This case differed from the Bridgwater
case, where the witness had been treated in such a manner
as to ditlturb his presence of mind; for here the commis-
sioners conducted the examination fairly and properly. The
examination of Burrell was short, and only occupied one
page of the blue-book; and the court were of opinion that
Burrell had evaded the answers, audit was for the commis-
sioners to determine whether those answers were bond file
and honest. There was no sufficient or reasonable grount
for granting the rule, and it would therefore be refused.
