A l'nolisisa Sox.—Jeremiah Began, described as hav-
ing no home and no occupation, was charged with being
drunk and disorderly, and stealing the materials of two
pairs of corduroy trousers.
The boy is only 16 years of ago ; he is an incorrigible
blackguard, and has been frequently in custody. Ile camp
home drunk a few nights ago and quarrelled with his
father, who administered to the young rogue some proper
chastisement. He escaped from his father by opening a
back window and leaping into the yard. Ile then obtained
admission to the house of a poor man named James
M'Gratb, a tailor,land stole the materials of two pairs of
trousers, which he soon disposed of, and squandered the
money.
The prisoner pleaded guilty.
Mr. Bowen, after commenting on his precocious roguery
and drunkenness, sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment and hard labour.
A DISHONEST SERVANT.—Ana Cradock, aged 13 years,
Harriet Halyard, 15, and Mary Ann Higgs, 40, widow,
were charged with stealing a gold turpoise pin and a
gold ring, the property of William Palmer, a builder, No.
94, Flint street, Bromley.
The prisoner Cradock was servant to the prosecutor
and his wife. The pin and ring wore stolen on two sepa-
rate occasions, while the prosecutor and his wife were
from !home. The prisoners Ilillyard and lliggs were
afterwards found dealing with the pin and the ring, awl
Mrs. lliggs produced the ring tb Norman, a detective
officer, and said she gave liillyard fid. for it. When
.Norman took llitlyard into custody she raid that she
bought it of a girl named Gardner, who told her she gave
three half-pence for it to Ann Cradock.
Mr. Palmer identified his ring.
There was no evidence seriously affecting all the pri-
soners.

Mr. Benson observed that the evidence ngainFt the
small servant, Ann Cradock, was very strong indeed, but
it was not such as would convince a jury of her guilt, and
discharged her. He committed Halyard and Higgs for
trial for stealing the turquoise pin and the gold ring.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
occupied. There is a daily demand for snore beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be adulated in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will be thankfully received by tho Trea-
surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell; or by

POLICE MISCONDUCT.—John Smyth and Henry Welsh,
stokers in the Equitable Gas Works, were charged with
assaulting the police in the execution of their duty.
Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester-row, defended.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Miles, the land-
lord of the Ship public•house, Vauxhall Bridge-road, that
the prisoners came into his house drunk and using bad
language, were requested to desist and leave the house ;
this they refused to do, and the police were sent for.
Thomas Ban6eld, 54 B B, arrived, and with the assistance
of Mr. Miles, ejected the prisoners, after which they be-
came very violent, kicked and assaulted the constables,
and with great difficulty were taken to the station ; some
of the crowd taking away Bantield's truncheon, which
was found broken iu half next morning.

Mr. Smith made an able defence, and proved, by an in-
dependent witness, that the prisoners refused to leave the
house, because they wanted 3d. they had paid and had not
had value for it. The police were fetched, and they were
thrown out of the house by the police with violence on the
ground. They did not assault the police, but Banfield
drew his staff, and a gentleman on horseback rode up and
told him he had no business to use it. The crowd got it
away from tho policeman.
An excellent character was given both prisoners by
their foreman for many years. _ _ _

Mr. Arnold strongly commented on the conduct of the
police in handling the men so roughly, and said they
should exercise more caution in such casts, as these men
were thrown down thrae steps on to the pavement. They
would be bound over to keep the peace for six months.

We are happy to announce that rest at Walmer
Castle is rapidly restoring the Premier from the
depressed condition of body into which the labours
of the session had thrown him He has even
so far recovered as to receive an address
at Deal a remarkable proof of returning
vigour. Address - hearing is usually not light
work. Mr. Gladstone's reply was confined to

lating East Kent upon the prosperity which it enjoys
through the exceptional fertility of its soil.

THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

A demonstration was held on Sunday at Drogheda
for the purpose of " bringing public opinion to bear"
upon the Government to effect the release of the
Fenian convicts. The managers did not seem to
care much for the quality of the public opinion
they got together ; for of 8,000 sympathisers,
the majority were youths and gamins. The
" City of Dublin Chimney Sweepers " figured
largely. The Rev. ➢lr. Mackey, one of several priests
who attended, opened the proceedings with a speech
well fitted to enhance the character of the public
opinion which was that day " brought to bear." It
was said that the• Fenians had done nothing. Mr
Maskey maintained that they had got themselves in
gaol, and was that nothing ? Then they were the
real and substantial cause of the Irish Church Act
Without Fenianism the Government would never
have attained that salutary condition of fear which
led to disestablishment and disendowment. In
order that the prisoners might complete the good
work they had so nobly begun, the meeting,
with great enthusiasm, demanded their immediate
release.

THE EXHIBITION AT LEIPSIC.

The Industrial Exhibition at Leipsic has been carriedon
with spirit. Its chief object was to challenge competition
in objects of substantial value. With regard to the strno-
ture, all was arranged in the most artistic fashion, and
the building was of ample dimensions. The Palace
was crowded with visitors from the first, and the
Exhibition was popular in consequence of the
moderate rate of charges. Ore circumstance worthy of
notico in the Leipsic Exhibition was that ftw individuals
figured in more than one department in the list of exhibi-
tors. The Leipsicers have complaincl that they had
not much time to prepare, and that sufficient support
was not given to them ; but, on the whole, the affair has
been most creditable. The exhibition kept steadily to its
purpose.

TUE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

One of the effects of the policy adopted by the
Albert Office in incorporating numerous other assu-
rance companies was that large sums of money were
paid as compensation to the servants of the offices
which were swallowed up. In the amalgamation of
the Bank of London and National and Provincial
Insurance Office with the Albert, the officers of the
former received nearly £30,000 as compensation, of
which sum Mr. Clench got £B,OOO. This gentleman
writes defending the transaction. lle was manager
of the company, his appointment was for life, and
his salary was £1,500 a year. Surely, he argues,
£B,OOO was poor compensation for the surrender of
such an income:—
" Mr. Gladstone, in a recent valuation of salaried inte-
rests, asked the people of this country, through their
representatives, what they considered fair compensation
for the loss of office ? The House of Commons has said,
in reply, that they were entitled, on an average, to four-
teen years' purchase of their salaries. Taking, therefore,
the amount of compensation sanctioned by both Houses of
the Legislature, I should have been entitled to fourteen
years' purchase of my £1,500 per annum ; this would have
amounted to £21,000."

This is all very well, but Mr. Clench omits to con-
sider one or two important points. What does he
think of amalgamating assurance companies as a
system, and of paving compensation, not to one
officer, but to scores ? What can he say in favour
of the principle of appointing " life managers" to
offices, especially when the " life manager" is
also the founder of the company, as Mr.
Clench was ? And can he give us any
information about the position of the com-
pany to which ho was life manager at the
time it was united to the Albert? Some of these
amalgamated companies not to mention Mr.
Clench's—were worthless at the time of their incor-
poration. If they were worthless, what was the
value of the interests of their officers, " life
managers" or otherwise? On all these pertinent
matters Mr. Clench leaves us in darkness.

FOREIGN NOTES.
THE SULTAN AND THE VICEROY.

It Is reported that the Viceroy will pay a visit to Con-
stantinople by the middle of September, and that the
Sultan will give him a brillant reception. The reconca-
tion between the sovereign and his powerful vassaf is
understood to be quite complete. The arrival of the
Khedive will have been preceded by his explanatory
letter in reply to the Sultan's note, of which some parts
have been made known, and which is said to have been
most satisfactory to all parties concerned. The Egyptian
difficulty is thus disposed of for the present.

TEE PERMISSIVE BILL.

The United Kingdom Alliance is promoting the
treparation of petitions in favour of the Permissive
Bill which Sir Wilfrid Lawson will ask leave to
introduce during the coming session. The object of
this 1-611 is to enable the ratepayers of any Parish to
prohibit the sale of "intoxicating liquors within that
parish. The Alliance News gives a list of 1550 parishes
with a population of nearly 00,000, in the ecclesias-
tical province of Canterbury, which contain no public
houses or beershops. Inthese cases it isthe landowners
who, on their own authority, prevent a traffic which
the Alliance seeks to enable the ratepayers to pre-
vent. In some counties the number of parishes is
very large; thus, in Ilerefordshire, the land of cider,
there are ninety-nine prohibitory parishes ; in
Leicestershire and Lincolnshire the number is not
much smaller. Derbyshire_has only one, and Corn-
wall only three such parishes. The difference
between Cornwall and Hereford is very remarkable :
the first is the most temperate, and the second one
of the most drunken counties in England. This
would seem to imply that where the evil of drunken-
ness is most felt, there the landowners are most
earnest in putting it down. On the other hand,
where the people are naturally temperate, the land-
owners do not think it necessary to interfere.
A letter from Portland (Maine) states that the
Maine Law is now being enforced with great vigour.

richest men in the United States, the owner of one-
eighth of the city of Portland, has been fined thrice
for violating the law ; and as the next conviction
would involve imprisonment, the bar ofthe hotel has
bow closed.

LOCAL TAXATION'.

An influential deputation waited upon the Prime
Minister yestday afternoon, in order to bring before him a
very important matter. It consisted of representatives
of the various Chambers of Agriculture through-
out the kingdom, introduced by Mr. Clare Sewell
Read, M.P. for South Norfolk, and its object was to
call the attention of the Government to the question
of local taxation. There were present Mr. Gladstone,
Mr. Goschen, President of the Poor-law Board, and Mr.
Knatchhull-Hugessen, Under Secretary for the Home
Department. The speakers detailed the proceedings of
the recent Conference of Chambers at the Salisbury
Hotel, and urged that the present way of assessing
local taxation was excessively burdensome to the owners
of real property. They expressed a wish that the poor
rate should be equalised, and that the localities should
have some means of being represented at the boards
charged with the distribution of sick funds. They further
asked that Mr. Gladstone would advise the Queen to
consent to the appointment of a Royal Commis-
sion to consider the whole subject. In reply, Mr.
Gladstone said that not only he but his colleagues were of
opinion that this was a matter deserving of the most
serious consideration, and that it was one for the delibera-
tion of the whole Cabinet. It was also an imperial question,
and Ministers would have to consider if the changes
they might be hereafter disposed to make in the
raising of local taxation should be extended to the whole
kingdom or confined only to England. He was not
prepared to say whether a Royal Commission or a
select committee would be the best way of acquir-
ing the necessary information, but he had no
hesitation in promising the deputation that the matter
should receive the most careful consideration from the
Ministry. The deputation then withdrew, much pleased
at the cordial reception it had met with, and the assurance
that the Government would take the matter in band.

SPAIN.

The Assembly elected by universal suffrage has made a
lively beginning. The meeting appears to have been less
a gathering of the national representatives than a popular
demonstration at which parliamentary precedent was
utterly set at nought. At the opening of the chamber
the crowd rushed in regardless of admission by ticket, which
had been laid down as the rule. After Marshal Serrano had
read an address and declared the Cortes open, twenty-mr:
guns were fired, and the head of the Government called
upon the Assembly to give three cheers for the national
sovereignty, a Legislative performance in which all present
took part. Then, according to the Daily News correspon.
dent, the crowd took the business of the nation in hand.
It began to cheer lustily for Prim, the Pro-
visional Government, and things in general. Unanimity
led to strife, and rival cheers for the Republic and the
Monarchy brought about great confusion. "Cries of
' Order !' and ' Silence !' arose on all sides, and the
President rang his bell anti struck the table for several
minutes." At the first meeting, therefore, the mob has
done the " business," and the deputies have looked on.
When the Provisional Government gets more experience
in these matters it will reduce the number of non-members
to but a small fraction of the whole House.
The Temps says that out of 346 elections the result or
which is known, the Progressists number 129 ; the
Unionists, 89 ; the Republicans, 7C ; the Democrats, 37;
and the Absolutists, 24. This estimate may be taken as
substantially accurate.

LONDON, SA7 URDAY, FEB. 13, 18G9.

Amid the compliaations of the Eastern Question
people have been very apt to forg2t the affairs of
Spain, and yet they are worthy of all attention. So
much depends upon the turn that events may
take
during the next few mouths that an experienced
observer must naturally feel anxious to peruse all
the details and speculate upon all the announcements
that are made concerning that country. The opening
of the Constitutional Corks was an event of great
importance, and it is satisfactory to know that all
went off well during the ceremony. The members
of the Provisional Government were loudly cheered
on their arrival, and Marshal SERRANO'S speech was
a successful one. It was throughout a statesmanlike
utterance, and eminently suited to the occasion,
which called it forth. It vindicated the course which
bad been taken by the Spanish patriots, and declared
the prevailing purpose of their minds. The nations
of Europe, he said, on attaining a higher degree of
civilization, had thrown off the traditional bonds
which fettered the public mind. Spain ,4 delayed for
a long time following their example ;" but the ‘4 day
had now come," observed he emphatically, and in
these few words are comprised the sum and substance
of the stupendous undertaking in which all
have been engaged. The Provisional Go-
vernment had faithfully fulfilled its promise, and
discharged its functions, and at the supreme moment
of opening the Cortes the President was enabled to
say that it had prepared the foundations and sketched
the outline of the new edifice. The glory of this
victory has been that it has been achieved without
bloodshed, and this is, in truth, the distinguishing
feature of the Spanish Revolution which will sig-
nalise it on the page of history, and send it down
through the ages as a landmark of the progress of this
generation, and a testimony to the might of public
opinion, and the all prevailing influence of truth.
Difficulties present themselves, notwithstanding, and
the Marshal was, perforce, compelled to allude to
them in his explicit and comprehensive statement.
The disturbances which bad taken place, and the ex-
travagances of former Administrations had placed
the " finances.' in an embarrassed condition. The
Government in this emergency naturally relied on the
Corks to remedy this state of things by economical
reforms, and a thorough change in the Administra-
tion and legislation relative to, the interest on the
Public Debt, and the expenditure for the Army and
Navy. Very wise advice was that given by the Mar-
shal when he enjoined on the assembly the propriety of
London, England, 1869-02-13

CORPORATION PROPERTY.

Lord Derby, in his speech on the Irish Church, laid
down the principle that any argument tending to the
disendowment of the Irish Church would apply with
equal weight to the "confiscation " of the property
held by the corporations of the City of London.
Mr. Maguire, M.P., appears to have been
convinced by the Earl's argument. But instead of
concluding that it would be wrong to take away the
property of the Irish Church, his " current of
thought" led him to regard corporation, property as
being misapplied; and therefore as being ' worthy
of confiscation." At the Ministerial banquet the
Prime Warden of the Fishmongers called attention
to Mr. Maguire's motion for a commission of inquiry
vn the subject. He declared that the funds were not
misapplied. " The company was never intended
to supply fish to the people. The charter does
not impose any such duty. It empowers
us to seize and condemn unwholesome fish,
for which purpose we keep three officers
constantly, and large quantities of unwhole-
some fish are seized and condemned by them.
The charities and aid in support of the members of
the company and their widows and children, which
were the main objects in the establishment of the
company, have been carried out on a very extensive
scale. Our estates in Ireland were purchased with
our own funds, and were not a grant from the
Crown. The price paid wasthe fair market value of the
estates at the time of their purchase." Nevertheless,
it is a fact that a large portion of the corporations
spend their money in feasting and " good living,"
having no other use for it, while their schools are
totallyinadequate to present wants.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

MISSIONARIES ABROAD.

The old feeling as to the support to be given in the
way of gunboats, &c., to missionary efforts abroad, is
happily dying out, where it has longest survived,
amongst those who organise missionary movements.
Instead of the old cry for Government interference,
we have in the case of the unfortunate Chinese affair
an authoritative disclaimer of any wish on the part
of the missionaries for the display of force.
The .Evlish. Independent, which is enthusiastic
in its missionary zeal, now very strongly condemns
the action of the consul in bringing the British gun-
boats on the scene. They "were not needed or desired
by the missionaries," and can only be disastrous to the
cause of the preachers of the Gospel. "If once the
Chinese get the idea that England is resolved on forcing
Christianity upon them at the cannon's mouth the
missionaries may come home. All hope of evangelis-
ing China will be gone." If this opinion had only
prevailed a little earlier, a large amount of diplo-
macy, of heartburnings, and of injustice might have
been saved.

a scene of great excitement. This formality was th•
counting of the votes given at the Presidential election—a
ceremony about as incrmsicaxy raluablc. as =.:;nald
day or the re-election of Ministers in England. But the
two Houses quarrelled about Georgia—that erratic State
which expelled the negro representatives from its local
Legislature. The Senate wished to count the vote for
Georgia ; the House of Representatives wished to exclude
it. An excited scene ensued, and we are told by the Times
correspondent that General Butler and Mr. Wade were
conspicuous in the confusion. Most people would take
this latter fact for granted. Ultimately the result was
given both ways, Grant and Colfax of course being
declared elected.

Both Houses of Congress have just passed a resolution
proposing an amendment of the Constitution by the removal
of existing disqualifications for the suffrage by reason of race,
colour, or nativity. Had the English Parliament passed such
a resolution, the reform in question would follow as a
matter of course ; but this is not the case in America.
Each of the States has its local Legislature, and many
important functions with which the central authority
cannot interfere are reserved to the Provincial Govern.
ments. Among these is the important proviso that the
constitution of the United States cannot be modified
unless two-thirds of the States individually agree to the
change. Hence the resolution respecting the suffrage
must be submitted to all the local Legislatures, so that the
action of Congress amounts to nothing more than a
recommendation that the question be dealt with.
