The Division.

Seotehmen, Welshmen, Irishmen, and Radicals
generally joined together to promote the disesta-
blishment of the Church in Wales. Alas ! they
mustered only 45, and tellers, against 209 ; but
there were many stout hearts amongst
them. For, instance, Mr. Whalley is in favour
of disestablishment, so is Mr. Taylor, the im-
placable White, and Fawcett of Brighton, Mr. T. B.
Potter, and Mr. Jacob Bright. Mr. Candlish, and
Mr. Cave, of Barnstaple, voted in favour of Mr.
Watkin Williams. On the other side was a vast
array of Liberals and Conservatives combined. Mr.
Miall did not take part in the division.

Women Electors.

Miss Lydia Becker is not going to allow the defeat
of the .Women's Disabilities Bill to be passed over in
silence, or without investigation. Mr. Love Jones
Parry, member for Carnarvonshire, is the first
voter on Mr. Bouverie's side who has been
taunted with faithlessness to a cause which
Miss Becker asserts he " distinctly pledged himself to
support." He received a letter from that lady, and
he replies that his devotion to the Liberal party
caused him, reluctantly, to vote against
his interests and the ladies. Without en-
tering into the gallantry of this course, it may
be noticed that Mr. Parry's excuse is an old one, a
refutation of which Mrs. Fawcett has already
attempted to make. He says in North Wales all
the women are Liberals, whereas in Bath and
other places they are Conservatives. He considered,
therefore, that if he was to vote for the enfranchise-
ment of electors who, in certain boroughs, constituted
a large Conservative majority, he would be tending
to uphold his enemies to the danger of his party.
Of course that answer will not satisfy the ladies,
but Miss Becker does not, as might have been anti-
cipated, pooh-pooh the hon. member's attempt to get
himself out of a fix. She acts very honourably in the
matter for, in her letter of comment, she merely
observes that many of the members may
have been induced to vote against lady electors
on the same grounds as Mr. Parry, and ex-
presses an opinion that women had a right to
expect that votes would be given on the merits of
the case, and not out of party considerations.
Mr. Bruce and the Ducks.

The Telegraph is highly indignant with our un-
lucky Home Secretary for his conduct about the stolen
ducks; whose fate has excited so much comment. A
half witted man of excellent character was convicted of
stealing them, on slender grounds. Subsequently two
other men were convicted of the theft, and the magi-
strates of Trowbridge, where the affair took place,
became uneasy as to the justice of their first sen-
tence. They accordingly sent up the depositions
on both sides for the opinion of the Home Secretary.
Unluckily for the first defendant, Mr. Bruce's scep-
ticism as to muriers does not extend to thefts. He
thinks it quite possible, as he told the House of Com-
mons, that three men might be engaged in stealingtwo
ducks, and comfortably disposed of the matter by
condemning all alike. Brittan, the half-witted man,
was, he thought, employed by the others to fetch the
two ducks out of their hiding-place. The
Telegraph wishes to know whether Brittan'e previoue

Law Digest Commission.

A. second report of the Digest of Law Com-
mission has been printed. In the first report
the commissioners explained the grounds for
their opinion that a digest of the law was
expedient, and in order to avoid the immediate out-
lay of a large sum of money in appointing a Com-
mission to execute the work, they advised
that small portions of the Digest as speci-
mens of the whole work should be attempted.
In this second report the commissioners give the
result of their experience in the three subjects they
selected to begin a digest upon, namely bills
of exchange, mortgages, and easements. Three
gentlemen of the Bar assisted the commissioners in
their undertaking, and laid before them materials of
considerable value, which have enabled them to
form conclusions as to the conduct of the
whole work. The commissioners, however,
have come to the conclusion that it would
be unadvisable to continue any further thcir
mode of proceeding, inasmuch as they found that the
examination and supervision of the materials put
before them would involve serious delay and vast
expense, while on the other hand they were satis-
fied that the specimens would again have to be
revised, and perhaps recast, when the time arrived
for inserting them as portions of a complete and sys-
tematic work. The commissioners, therefore, express
their opinion that it is expedient that three skilled
persons should be engaged, at high remuneration,
to undertake the duty of executing the digest as a
whole, and that they should in their labour act under
such directions and control either of a committee of
the Privy Council, or otherwise, as her Majesty
may think fit. To this recommendation
one of the commissioners, Sir James Shaw Willes,
appends his dissent. Although agreeing that a first
rate modern digest of English law is to be desired
(for professional men) he thinks it will when made,
after all be only a makeshift for a code, or rather
series of codes. This is the groundof his objection.

THE RAID ON THE TELEGRAPHS.

The Daily News declares that " Vandalism" is a phrase
which seems too likely to become naturalised in our lan-
guage, and to acquire even an academic sanction. The
thing is not, however, confined to the ingenuous and
aristocratic youth of Oxford. The ignobler boyhood of
the nation does not, indeed, find the statues of great
artists and the busts of eminent men within its reach. It
therefore vents its animal energies and tests its unskilful-
ness of aim by shying stones at the insulators on tele-
lraph posts. This exercise, if we may judge from the
etter by Mr. Scudamore which we published on Wednes-
day, promises to become the most popular out-of-doors
amusement now enjoyed in England. It is practised in.
North Britain and in South. from Newcastle to- Dover,
and from Leicester and Loughborough to South Wales.
No doubt it contributes considerably to form and develop
that concert of eye and hand which is a desirable
physical acquisition. Still, this skill might be gained in
a less expensive and inconvenient way than by the inter-
ruption of messages, always of pressing urgency, and
sometimes of life and death. A paternal Government
might possibly find it its interest to erect Aunt Sallies in
the neighbourhood of every telegraphic station, in
order to divert from mischief the instinct of marksman-
ship. Taking a lesson possibly from the dons of Christ
Church, the Post Office authorities speak to the youthful
offenders in the mildest manner. Mr. Scudamore is
instructed by Lord Hartington to express himself more in
sorrow than in anger. He asks schoolmasters and all
those who have the charge of youths to issue admonitory
warnings against the conduct of mhich he complains.
Schoolmasters are very proper persons to apply to, and
they have one sort of admonitory warning in their power
which, if used, is likely to be effectual. Let them not
spare the rod and spoil the telegraph insulator.

AQUATICS AT OXFORD.

The sixth of the series of eight oar races at Oxford took
place last evening. The first four boats maintained their
position. There was a splendid race between Brasenose
and Christchurch, but the latter, although within a few
inches of Brasenose, failed to make the required bump.
New College continued to make its victorious career
by bumping Merton at Saunders Bridge, but there
was no other change.

A NEW INVESTMENT FOR ROBBERS.

The Standard asserts that [to steal an Englishman is
likely henceforth to become a profitable branch of robber-
industry. Considering the ease and safety with which the
adventure is attended, to all at least but to its direct in-
struments, we need not be surprised to hear of every
half-civilised country in the world following in the steps
of the Hellenic Government. Accordingly it seems quite
natural to read that four Englishmen have been carried
away by brigands from the neighbourhood of Gibraltar.
It is the readiest expedient whenever a foreign Govern-
ment wishes to acquire a new credit with its own people
to exercise its troops, or to dispose of its surplus stock of
banditti. Civis Romanus being dead stnd buried,
and a Peace Ministry in office in England, English-
men are clearly the best victims for the foreign
brigand. If all goes well, it is he who will
the largest ransom with the least risk. If it c,:Tries
to the worst, there will be but the loss of a few of the
commoner sort of banditti, a loss which can be so arranged
by a local trial and speedy execution as to be even a gain
to the higher sort of brigands. The game is doubly safe,
seeing that the worst which can happen is the putting
away of a few awkward witnesses who, in the other
event, would have to share in the booty. We shall be
curious to see what measures will be taken by Lord Cla-
rendon in recognition of this latest outrage upon British
subjects. If we might deduce anything from the Greek
precedent we should suppose that a few vigorous dispatches
will be written ; that there would be some rapid passages
of telegrams in cipher from the Foreign Office to Mr.
Layard, after which the Spanish Government will be
suffered to proceed in their own fashion. To uphold the
honour and to confirm the integrity of the Spanish Con-
stitution we may earnestly hope that the farce will not
end in a tragedy as in the affair of Marathon ; but it is
obvious that the denouement is entirely in the hands of the
local banditti.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, May 25.

The draft of the New Penal Code has been passed in the
North German Parliament. The Lottery Loans Bill has
come on for the second reading, when the Finance Mini-
ster cautioned the house not to attack property legally
acquired. Bourse speculators would be affected by the
prohibition of foreign lottery loans. The Ist clause of the
bill, forbidding the future issue of such loans, was adopted,
and a resolution passed asking the Government to intro-
duce a bill dealing with the whole question. The other
clauses were withdrawn.

SERIOUS OUTRAGE AT NEWPORT.

A sailor belonging to the ship Northumberland has just
been apprehended on a charge of committing a rape on a
child five years of age. The outrage is of a most flagrant
character, and has caused great excitement in the town of
Newport. The accused will remain in the police-station
until Friday, when he will be brought before the borough
magistrates.

MELANCHOLY DEATH BY DROWNING AT

Yesterday morning a keelman, named John Buckbon,
while lying asleep in the cabin of his wherry, on the Tyne

of the keel was the cause.

The resident and non-resident opponents of the aboli-

John Coleridge's measure. The non-residents found a
large proportion of the supporters of the placets. The
non-placets, though present, declined to vote, and the
numbers were—placets 135, non-placets 2.

good character should not reckon for something. If
Brittan had full possession of his wits, he would
know what to do next time he feels criminally in-
clined ; he would not content himself with pocketing
a duck, he would commit a murder or two, in which
case he would be certain to get his sentence com-
muted.

Welsh Schoolmasters_ and the Education

Bill.

A conference of schoolmasters in South \Vales
and Monmouthshire has been held to discuss various
subjects in connection with the Education question.
The result was the carrying of several resolutions.
These expressed an opinion that the existing arrange-
ments fbr religious teaching, bad, in the experience of
the masters, been rarely objected to. A. thorough
unaminity prevailed as to the impracticability of the
time-table conscience clause, but the meeting was not
in favour of prohibiting doctrinal instruction. The
principle of direct compulsory attendance of children
at either existing or rate-supported schools was advo-
cated. It was unanimouslyresolved that superannuation
would be a powerful means for securing and retaining
efficient teachers.

WOMEN'S DISABILITIES BILL.

TO THE EDITOR OF TEE " BUN."
SlB,—Having the permission of the writer to publish t‘.ll.e
subjoined note from a member of Parliament, assigning,l
reason for voting against the Women's Disabilities Bill,
beg that you will give it a place in your columns. that
It was written in reply to one which reminded hiin
he had, both during his candidature and since his electlP",
positively promised to vote for such a measure, and askl73
why, notwithstanding these pledges, his name appears in a
list of Mr Bouverie's majority against going into conmvue
on the Women's Disabilities Bill.
How far the motives so frankly avowed by the honourable
member for Carnarvonshire may have influenced other ma'.
hers of the Liberal party to vote against a measure of e°:
franchisement, it is, of course, impossible to conjecture, b"
since these considerations w re strong enough in one in-
stance to cause the violation of distinct pledges, it is notil;
reasonable to imagine that they may have prevailed vgit
others not so bound.
1 erhaps they may afford some explanation of the de,te„ri
mined though tardy opposition of the Government and
the apparently capricious rejection by the House of On.
moos of a measure the principle of which had been accePe
after a full debate on the second reading.
Both friends and opponents of the bill will doubtlese
agree that in a question of justice in regard to them
women have a right to expect that the votes of members
the Legislature should be given on the merits of the case'
and not out of party considerations. -Yours respectfully,

WASHINGTON, May 25.
Despatches received from the Canadian frontier are of a
conflicting character.

A general movement of Feniaws towards the frontiers
is certainly going on, and it is even reported that a Fenian
force under O'Neil has actually crossed the boundary
near Franklin, in Vermont, and that fighting has com-
menced.

It is further reported that 150 United States troops
have gone to Ogdensburg.
Fears are entertained that the Fenians will make an
attack upon Cornwall

TORONTO, May 25.

General Lindsay has collected a large number of regular
troops and volunteers at the Eastern frontier.
The Prince Consort's Own Rifles left Montrose for the
front this morning. H.R.H. Prince Arthur goes with
them on the Staff of Lord A. Russell.

At noon, on Wednesday, the Fenians crossed the line,
and encamped at the bank of the Toronto river, fifty miles
south-west of Montreal.

No troops are yet on the spot. The villagers of the
district are forming a company in order to attack the
marauders, who are already pillaging the stores in the
neighbourhood.

The Proclamation of President Grant against the
Fenians has produced a good effect here.
The Canadian steamer Chicora, carrying troops and
stores for the Red River Settlement, has been allowed,
after disembaiking the troops, to pass the Sault St. Marie
Canal.

Injury to the Telegraph Wires.

The appeal which ➢lr. Scudamore has thought it
necessary to make to "schoolmasters and all those
who have the charge of youths," with reference to the
practice of stone-throwing at telegraph wires reveals
a destructive spirit among the boys of England,
the positive existence of which it is hard to believe
in. That an insulator here and there was wilfully
aimed at and destroyed is possible and even natural,
but that "500 insulators were wantonly broken in the
course of six weeks at Newcastle," and one

hundred and fifty smashed "in the same period
between Loughborough and Leicester," causes
serious astonishment. In the name of all that is
vigilant, what were the telegraph authorities doing
when they allowed the work of demolition to proceed
at the places mentionea, after the first weeks'
damages ? Ordinary minds would have imagined
that after twenty-five insulators had been
destroyed, " between Loughborough and Leices-
ter," an inspector or two would have been
detailed to watch for the ladtras who perpeted the
outrage.

The Massacre at Uxbridge.

The terrible series of murders, which have been
perpetrated at a small cottage in one of the
prettiest villages in Middlesex, has startled the public
mind into a state of horror and shame. That in
enlightened and happy England there was a per-
son having so little fear of God or man as to murder
helpless women and innocent children one after the
other, and so much of the beast-like craving for blood
in him as to lose even his identity as a man at all,
has before been testified to by the author, De Quincy,
tut in late years those old horrors recorded in the
annals of England have been either attributed to
the ignorance and brutality of the times or
partially disbelieved in, and the recurrence of
such atrocities has been looked upon as
an impossibility. The Pantin tragedy, how-
ever, prepared Englishmen for the foul deeds
which have now been accomplished within a few
miles of the English capital—hideous deeds which
only rival in barbarity the wholesale murders perpe-
trated by the sailor referred to by .1)e Quincy,
but the circumstances of this new holo-
caust even leave that diabolical and ghastly
butchery far behind in the shade. The
name of the sailor was Williams. He had " yellow
hair, fierce eyes, haggard face, and a manner
like the fawning of a hungry beast of prey."
It is said that it was for the sake of
revenge that this demon entered a tradesman's
house in Ratcliffe Highway in 1812, and murdered
the husband, wife, apprentice, and little child, and
for the sake of plunder, his bloody appetite being
whetted, that he a fortnight afterwards put to death
the proprietor of a dwelling-house in the same neigh-
bourhood, his wife, and a young servant girl,

TURF REGULATIONS.

The Post does not dispute the claim which the House of
Commons has put forward to deal in some sort with the
Turf and with the practices which have grown out of
racing, although it could be wished that they conceived
somewhat more closely than they appear to do the grounds
upon which they propose to proceed, and bad determined
a little more distinctly over what phenomena their legis-
lative dealing is to extend. The first step in this, as in all
reforms, is to ascertain what are the conditions with
which we are proposing to deal, and to settle, before
moving further, how far we can go without losing the
attainable by grasping at the impossible. The
House of Commons has neither the right nor
the power to put down betting simply and merely
because it is betting. What it has a right to do,
and what it is its duty to do, is this. It has a right, and
it is bound in concert with the Executive, to forbid and
bar resort to systems of betting and practices which are of
such construction and of such a character that the public
who bet cannot by any means within reach of men of
ordinary sense and acuteness be on its guard or defend
itself against those who wield and manipulate the systems.
It is to be hoped, moreover, that the Jockey Club will be
brought. by the discussion in the House, to perceive the
mistake they have made in excluding systems of betting
from their consideration, and that they will feel that
they are bound to give Parliament every possible assist-
ance.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(Tms DAY.)

A NEWSPAPER OFFICE Iv RUINS.—At the Vice-Chan-
cellors' Malin's Court, this morning, an application was
made to the Court by Mr. Glass, Q.C., and Mr. Grahans
Hastings, on behalf of Mr. D. W. Dowling, proprietor of
the Investors' Guardian Newspaper, to restrain Messrs. Gil-
lett, contractors, from pulling down certain premises iu
Lombard-street, without taking such precautions as would
enable the work to be carried on without further injury
to the plaintiffs premises. From the statement of the
learned counsel, it appeared the defendants were engaged
pulling down certain premises in Lombard-street, when all
of a sudden one of the party walls fell with a tremen-
dous crash, and the bricks dropped upon the roof
of Mr. Dowling's premises in Change-alley, break-
ing in the skylight, and causing the building to
have the appearance of a perfect wreck, and Mr.
Dowling had fortunately left that part of the office only
about two minutes. If he had not the probability is that he
would have been killed. The remaining portiods of the
building, it was ccntended, still remain in a very dangerous
state, and the plaintiff now prayed his Honour to grant an
interim rnj action to restrain any further demolition. Since
the accident the office bad been one mass of bricks and•rub-
bish, which had prevented the carrying on the ordinary
business of the office, thereby subjecting the plaintiff to
great loss and inconvenience. Hie Honour having heard
the application, at once granted the injunction prayed for.

(ADVERTISEMENT ]--HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—
Deranged Stomach, Si k Headache.—Our comfort, happi-
ness, and security depend upon the knowledge that most
diseases originate by apparently a trifling beginning,'and the
large proportion of them spring from inattention to the
state of the stomach. Professor Holloway has turned this
knowledge to useful account by discovering medicines which
rectify the error as soon as it is seen, and save the patient
from loss of appetite, strength, and energy, which are, with-
out exception, the attendants on disordered digestion.
They ward off likewise the torturing sick headache. The
Ointment should be well rubbed twice daily over the
stomach, liver, and bowels ; to them it penetrates, and upon
them it immediately exerts its renovating influence.

THE BISHOP OF PETERBOROUGH AND THE

EDUCATION BILL.

A meeting in support of the general principles of the
Education Bill was held at Daventry yesterday afternoon.
The Bishop of Peterborough presided, and amongst
those present were Sir Rainald Knightley, Baronet,
M.P., Major Cartwright, M.P., Mr. C. Sackville
Stopford, M.P., Sir H. E. L. Bryden, Bart., Hon. and
Rev. Lord Alyne Compton, General Sir F. Horn, K.C.8.,
Captain Stopford, R.N., Mr. E. Ashworth Briggs, Mr.
M. W. Dickins, J. P., Rev. W. L. Collyns, Rural Dean,
and a large number of the clergy, gentry, and agricul-
turists of the district. The Bishop, in the
course of his speech, dealt at length with the
subject of education, and said that to forbid
religious teaching would be as atheistical as to impose
religion would be tyranny. But to permit religious teach-
ing would meet the wishes of the country. The con-
science clause he thought indispensable, and a time table
under suitable regulations. He was in favour of unde-
nominational inspection, which he thought a good
feature of the bill. He had been the patron
of a school in Ireland for some years, and he found the
system work no harm. He thought Earl Russell, with
many others, confounded things that differ when he spoke
of denominational schools in Ireland and in England. He
hoped the No-Popery prejudices of the people would not
lead them into mistake respecting education in Ireland.
The question of education would distract the national
mind, and we shall need to exercise great care, tolerance,
and forboarance.

A BISHOP ON THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES

ACT.

At a meeting of the Manchester and Salford Sanitary
Association, held yesterday, the Bishop of Manchester,
who presided, referred to the agitation going on in
respect of the Contagious Diseases Act. He
said the controvery was raging with extreme bitter-
ness, which almost precluded calm discussion.
The controversy was exceptional, because the facts with
reference to the operation of the Act in garrison towns.
were stated by the two parties in direct anta-
gonism, the one to the other. One party alleging
that moral, and the other that immoral effects were
produced. He thought the subject must be made
one for an authorised and competent inquiry. Looking
to the prevalence of hyinotic diseases, which were a form
of scrofula, and the fact that scrofula was propagated
more than by any other cause by syphilitic taint,
this question being also at the root of the
opposition to the Vaccination Acts, it seemed
to him that there was a case made out for calm dispas-
sionate investigation as to how far these contagious
diseases are preventable, and the sanitary question ought
to be kept entirely separate from the moral one. The
moral question must be dealt with by its own proper
remedies.

The state of affairs in Lisbon continues to excite great
interest. It is said that Louie intended to arrest Saldanha,
fearing his possible return to office, and meant to send him
to sea in a ship of war, when he was to have the alterna-
tive of accepting a foreign mission or of being imprisoned
in one of the colonies. Saldanha, on learning these de-
signs, resolved to anticipate them by a pronunciamento.

ALLEGED ATTEMPTED MURDER

At Longton Police-court, Staffordshire, yesterday, Chas.
Steele was charged with feloniously shooting Charles
Frost. The men are colliers, and live at Stockton
Brook, near Hanley. On Tuesday night Steele,
while in state of drunkenness, smashed the fur-
niture in his cottage. Frost and other neighbours
remonstrated with him. Steele went to his father's
house, a mile away, and returned with a gun loaded with
shot. On seeing Frost, he fired at him, and the charge
lodged in his arm. Frost raised his hand just as Steele
was firing, or he would have received the charge in his
body. Frost now lies under the care of a surgeon, so,
Steele was remanded.
