IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOITSE Ol' LORDS.-LAST EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY laid on the table a
bill to amend the law relating to clergy discipline and
ecclesiastical coui ts.

The University College of London Bill was read a
second time.

Lord REDESDALE moved for a return of the acts
of Parliament to which any individual corporation or
trust were deprived of their property for any purpose
without full compensation or offence alleged to justify
such deprivations. He believed there would be found to be
no precedent for the manner in which it was proposed to
deal with the Church of Ireland, and argued at some length
that disendowment was neither more nor less than confisca-
tion, and the Government was the first to enter upon a course
which was revolutionary, and destructive to the security
of property. In Ireland untilling it would lead to the
belief that all property was held at the will of the ma-
jority, and would lead to a most dangerous agitation. He
ould only apply to the whole proceeding that the terms
which he used last year that it was not only confiscation
but sacrilege.
After some discussion the motion was withdrawn.
Tho Habitual Criminals Bill having been moved a
second time by the Earl of KIMBERLEY,
Lord PORTMAN expressed his approval of the mea-
sure and suggested that it might be usefully extended to
misdemeanants.

The measure was then read a second time, and their
lordships adjourned.

THE PARIS CONFERENCE.

The history of the Paris Conference is well-nigh corn.
plete ; but the papers laid before Parliament prove that
though the Conference was in the first instance suggested
by Prussia, and then supported by France, yet the inter.
vention of England was the direct means of securing a
successful issue. From the first Lord Clarendon defined
a line of policy, which was accepted by Turkey, and
rigidly adhered to afterwards. The British Minister urged
that the discussion must be strictly limited, or delicate
questions, more likely to endanger than to secure the peace
of Europe, might be raised. In another despatch
he suggests that the Powers should not go beyond suggest.
ing the bases of reconciliation to the disputant States.
This proviso, together with the remarkable firmness of
the Porte, prevented any dangerous complication. Itwas
a happy thought of the French Government to call to the
Conference all the Powers which took part in the Congress
of 1856. The Time thinks it may be taken for granted
that henceforth the concerns of the East will be regulated
by a council of the six leading States.

The Independance Belge states that not even a change of
ambassadors will be required for the resumption of diplo.
matic relations between Turkey and Greece. Photiades
Bey will return to Athens, and Delyannis to Constan-
tinople.

GERMANY.
Tno Prussian monarchy will shortly he enriched by the

incorporation of the Duchj, of Lauenberg. 'fins lime terri-
tory was ceded by Denmark by the treaty of October 1864,
and was acquired by Prussia, along with Schleswig-Holstein,
in 1866. King William thus became Duke of Lauenberg
instead of the King of Denmark, but the duchy has not
yet, owing to some scruples, been incorporated in the
monarchy. The Prussian Chambers have repeatedly
urged that the formal act of annexation be made, and at
length the Representative Assembly of the Duchy itself
has preferred the same request, which will now be
granted.
Another item of annexation has been completed. The
principality of Waldeck has ceased to exist. The Prince
who ruled this territory had leased to Prussia the care of
his 60,000 souls for a term of years. He has now sold
them.

BOW-STREET.

HIGHLY IMPROBABLE.—John Watson, 2G, a private sol-
dier in the Scotch Fusilier Guards, now stationed at St.
George's Bairacks, was charged with stealing a silver
watch and gold Albert chain from the person of the com-
plainant.
Alfred Hart, porter, stated that last night he was stand-
ing near the Horse Guards, in St. James's Park, when the
prisoner accosted him by requesting a match to light his
pipe. They conversed for a short time, and he persuaded
witness to take a walk across the Green Park with him.
When they arrived at that place the prisoner asked witness
if he was partial to women. Witness asked him what he
meant. The prisoner made no reply, but gave witness a
series of nudges, and concluded by asking the loan of a
shilling or two. Witness said that he had not a copper.
The prisoner next asked the time. Witness pulled out his
watch to supply the information, and the prisoner caught
hold of it, saying, "Lend me this ?" Witness said that he
could not, and the prisoner snatched it from his pocket
and ran away with it. Witness chased him, calling "Stop
thief." A crowd pursued the prisoner, who, on being
stopped by a constable, said, " Here's his watch ; I don't
want it ; 1 was only having a lark." The watch and chain,
together with a gold bar (which was lost), were of the'
value of £3.

James Barrett, A 290, took the prisoner into custody,
and found upon him the stolen property.
The prisoner received a very good character from the
serjeant of his regiment.

The prisoner pleaded Not Guilty, and stated that the
prosecutor said to him, "You want some money ? Well,
I have none to lend you, but I will give you my watch if
you promise to return it to me to-morrow night." On
these conditions he (prisoner) took the watch and was
going away, when he was greatly surprised by hearing
the prosecutor calling out, "Stop thief." Prisoner went
back to him, and argued that "no man was a thief because
ho took what was given to him." lie gave the watch
back to prosecutor, saying that he did not want it. They
then walked along side by side until a constable appeired,
when prosecutor gave him (the prisoner) into custody.
The prosecutor stepped forward and denied the truth of
this statement altogether.
Mr. Vaughan committed the prisoner for trial, at the
same time remarking that ho had greatly aggravated the
case by his defence.

4 MELBOURNE PARLIAMENTARY SCANDAL

A parliamentary scandal is current in Melbourne,
which, if founded on fact, is very discreditable to some of
the colonial legislators. It is said that three members of
the Assembly were promised a sum of £5OO by a squatter
in the Western district ror assisting him to obtain posses.
sion of a valuable tract of land by means of a " dummy."
The rule of the Lands Office is that the man who proves
that any selector is not in good faith a settler, and
does not comply with the necessary conditions, is entitled
to the forfeited allotment. This rule gives facilities
for fraudulent transactions. It is currently rumoured that
some of the legislators derive large sums as agents in
transactions at the Crown Lands' Office, where matters
are made easy by the assistance of Ministerial supporters.
These charges are denied in tato 1)y the accused Persons.
London, England, 1869-09-08

CO-OPERATIVE HOUSEKEEPING.

The scarcity of domestic servants in the United
States, and the extremely high price of provisions,
has led an American lady to propound a rather
remarkable scheme. Mrs. Peirce suggests that the
principle of co-operation should be applied to house-
keeping ; that a number of families unite and esta-
blish for their common benefit a provision store, a
kitchen, a bakery, and a laundry. These institutions
represent necessities common to all families, and by
this mode of union nearly one-third the cost of living
would, in the opinion of Mrs. Peirce, be saved. It
is likely that an organisation of this kind will be
started in Cambridge (U.S.) next November.
The Daily News approves of the scheme, remarking
that most people now " put ot.tt" their washing and
baking, and that this idea is merely extending a
co-operative system which already exists. But our
contemporary fears that some little difficulty will be
met with in the adoption of a common kitchen, and
thinks it wise that Mrs. Peirce has left this part of
the scheme optional.

TIIF FASTING GIRL OF WALES.

The fasting girl of Wales, who has created so
much "sensation," is yet holding out, refusing or
unable to take meat or drink, and lying still upon
her bed powerless in will or inclination to rise and
walk. A correspondent of the Times—Dr. Robert
Fowler, of East London—has been to see her.
Sarah Jacob lies (he says) in a clean and
tidy room full of small shelves and drawers.
She is 13 years of age, is very pretty, and surrounded
by appropriate decorations, is made a show child of.
Or. rowier's suspicions were at once aroused by her
appearance. Everything connected with the child's
movements tended to confirm his thought, that she
was simulating disease ; and an examination did not
remove the first impression. The child shrinks as if
with pain at the slightest touch, and goes into
3 fainting fits "—hysterical cryings and sobbings—
when an examination is long continued. Dr. Fowler,
however, persisting in his investigations, heard
gurgling in her bowels which must have been
produced by fluid there ; saw various indica-
tions of deception, and came generally to the
conclusion that she was deceiving oven her father
and mother. The case, he very distinctly declares, is
simulative hysteria. The construction of the bed
and room make the concealment of food an easy
matter, and the only way to rouse Jacob from her
position is by some sudden alarm. Her disease—
for disease it must be said to be—might easily be
cured; but the girl must be removed from the
cottage, and taken to some hospital or infirmary.

INTERNATIONAL OCEAN RICE.

The proposed ocean match between the American
yacht Dauntless and the English Cambria has
fallen through ; and the Sportsman is disposed to lay
the blame upon our on n countryman. The match
had Leen arranged, but the parties could not
agree upon the day of sailing. Mr. Bennett, the
American owner, wished to start on the 15th, but
Mr. Ashbury, the English yachtsman, preferred an
earlier date. The sporting journal can see no reason
why, if Mr. A shbury really desired an ocean race, he
should not have closed the bargain and started
on that day. " The Americans have already
shewn their willingness to cross the Atlantic in
their yachts, and we should regret to see a proposed
race abandoned on a mere quibble as to dates."

THE XIIEDIVE'S SON.

It has been finally arranged that the eldest son of
the Viceroy of Egypt shall commence a course of
study at Oxford. The young prince will dwell at
Grandpont House, the residence of Alderman
Randall. The regulations of the university prescribe
that all students must be inmates of a college, or,
according to the ordinance of last year, reside with
a licensed lodging-house keeper. The Alderman
has not a license; but royalty commands indul-
gences, and an exception to the usual rule is made
in this case.

FOREIGN NOTES.
CHANGE OF MINISTRY IN NEW ZEALAND.

The chief political event of the month in New Zealand
is the defeat of the Stafford Ministry, and the acceptance
of the Premiership by Mr. Fox. This gentleman will
adopt a new war policy. Regardinv the policy of the
Stafford Ministry to be practically calculated to bring on
war with the King party, Mr. Fox proposes to withdraw
the forces now in the interior, weed them and convert
them as far as possible into a purely defensive array.
Without cravenly turning his back to the enemy, he fur-
ther proposes to withdraw advanced and isolated posts,
and to give up the attempt to hold such of the confiscated
lands as we are not able to occupy. The assistance of
troops from Great Britain is a cardinal point in Mr. Fox's
scheme. For the last four years, says the Times corres-
pondent, the Stafford Ministry has resolutely refused to
advise the Governor in reference to troops, or to offer one
sixpence towards their maintenance. Great Britain has
practically been forced into removing them, whether
desirous of doing so or no. The present Government gives
up the self-reliance policy altogether. It will have recourse
at once to Imperial troops.

WESTMINS TER.

DrsonAcErul. num—Anne Smith, a genteel-looking
girl, aged 17, was charged with the following disgraceful
fraud.

Mr. Henry Carr said that yesterday ho was informed
that a Miss Clarke had called upon him. In consequence
of suspecting that a fraud was about to be committed, he
stated that ho would see Miss Clarke when she called, and
gave instructions that if he rang the bell the police were
to be sent for. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was
ushered into his office as Miss Clarke. She said she was
the daughter of Mr. Clarke, upholsterer, on the pavement
at Clapham, and the niece of Mr. Clarke, another trades-
man there. Her object was to raiso a sum of money to
provide for a poor blind child. Prosecutor gave her 55.,
and having very little doubt from certain reasons that her
story was false, handed her over to the police.
Walter Barrett, a detective policeman, said that when
called the prisoner declared her story was true, and she
would go with him to Clapham to prove it. lie took her
at her word, but when at Clapham she admitted that her
whole story was a fabrication. She thew. said that she Lad
only yesterday been brought from Brighton by a man
who had abandoned her after putting her up to this story.
The police said that her account was certainly not true,
and stated some circumstances showing that she was
connected with skittle sharpers who were well known.
Prisoner was remanded.

ME SERVICE GUNPOWDER.

The special committee on gunpowder have been carrying
out a series of experiments for the past week in the Wool.
wich Marshes. As far as we can gather, the results pro-
mise to be most important. Our present service powder
is far to violent in its action, and one of the chief
objects the committee have in view is to procure
a powder that will strain the gun much less with-
out, at the same time, sacrificing the initial or muzzle
velocity of the projectile. A species of powder called
"pellet" was lately introduced for this purpose, but
recent experimentslhave shewn that it cannot be relied
on as at present manufactured. The Russians are said
to have adopted an excellent powder called " prismatic,"
while other nations, such as the Prussians, Belgian!.
and Fronch are following in the same footsteps. Speer'
mens of all these powders will doubtless be tried by the
committee. We lately alluded io the question of the pos,'
i
tion of the vent in large guns, and pointed out that t
would be very unadvisable to alter its position, and WC
are glad to hear that the preliminary experiments of
the committee have fully borne out our views. n
appears that a vent in the rear of the gun'
besides diminishieg the initial velocity, canoe°
an intense local strain at the base of the projectile, due,
we presume, to a long column of gas at a high velocitl
being suddenly checked. Under these circumstances it
exceedingly fortunate that the authorities did not listen t°
recent proposals to vent all our heavy guns in the rear-
The centre vent, although it may possibly cause a greater
maximum pressure, has the effect of distributing the strain
more uniformly over the powder chamber, and glut
diminishing any intense local effect.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful m masti-
cation.

TIIE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

An influential meeting of the Albert Office policy-
holders was held in London yesterday. Some of the
metropolitan banks interested in this catastrophe
were represented, and many Bombay and Calcutta
policy-holders were present. Arrangements bare
been made to secure united action amongst the
policy-holders and annuitants. There is one point
on which all these interested parties are united.: in
whatever respect they may differ, they all agree upon
the necessity for appointing an independent liquida-
tor instead of Mr. Kirby.

ARTISAN EDUCATION.

At the iu.eetinz of the committee of the South

tallordshirejr,aidational Associaticin,tord LytteiCon
called attention to the good which employers may do
encouraging the attendance of young work people
at night schools, and by instituting a system of
yearly examination. One firm in the Wolverhampton
neighbourhood holds an examination of this hind
with very good results. The position of employers
gives them an influence in the promotion
of education which persons not similarly
situated cannot attain, however well disposed
The South Staffordshire Association is about
to open an essay competition amongst the artisans
of the neighbourhood. It has wisely resolved
that all artisans shall be eligible, whether members
of institutions or not.

TECIINICAL EDUCATION FOIL 'YOUNG
AGRICULTURISTS.

Mr. J. Bayley Denton pleads in the Times fox
technical education for the young in the agricultura
districts, and -explains at some length what he
means. He thinks that school children should be
instructed the habits of the horse, the cow, the sheep,
the hen, and other farm-yard animals; the use of the
plough, and implements of husbandry ; and taught
to garden, sow, and reap. The boys should have some
practical lessons with the tools they are likely to
use ; should be instructed, for instance, in the way
to follow the plough. And when they go to service
their masters ought to give them some special work
to do, and keep them to it until they understand and
are tolerably proficient in it.

BRIBERY AT ELECTIONS.

Lord Hobart is one of the many persons
who hold to the belief that the recent anti-
bribery legislation has utterly failed. He
writes expressing his opinion that the nature of the
evil altogether forbids the success of such remedies
as have been tried hitherto. Forty-eight members
of an Assembly professedly representative, in a
country whose population is about 30,000,000, and
which is perpetually congratulating itself upon self-
government, are returned by 11,000 electors, being
the aggregate constituencies of thirty boroughs—
that is to say, by less than one six-hundredth part
of the whole adult male populatien, and less than e
hundredth part of the whole electoral•body. The
suffrages of these 11,000 electors thus acquire an
importance which voters in larger constituencies can-
not attain. A considerable amount of political
power is placed in the hands of a small number of
persons, who send to Parliament only those who
have abundance of money to distribute amongst
them. In a small constituency each elector is a con-
siderable fraction of the whole. Consequently lie
sets a price upon his vote and takes bribes. Ne
penal enactments can prevent the secret operatior
of this evil. The State may prevent one person
from taking money from another by force, but it
cannot restrain payment by common consent. To en..
force penalties for secret bribery is more difficult
than to enforce them for private gaming
which is generally admitted to be impracticable
The only mode of destroying this evil, says Lord
llobarL, is to redress the electoral balance by
sweeping away these disproportionately small con-
stituencies. " Venal voting is the result of a defect
in our institutions—the poisonous fruit of a tree
planted and watered by the State ; and the attempt
to repress it by punishing those who eat the
fruit, instead of cutting down the tree, seems sin-
gularly absurd." Lord Hobart is in favour of Mr
Ilare's scheme of representation.
