TUE SUEZ CANAL.

A number of gentlemen assembled in the Town
Ilan of Liverpool to hear the explanation on Monday
of the progress of the Suez Canal works from Mr.
Bromley Moore, late Chairman of the Liverpool
Docks and Harbour Board. Mr. Moore said
that he took this step because ho had had
so many applications for information since his
return. The supply of fresh water through the
whole course of the works was a point of great
importance, and it was a serious consideration
how the present supply could be continued

STEALING GoLD CAKES. —A KIND PROSLCUTO.II.—Wm.
Barrett, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with stealing som.) gold cakes, the property of his em-
ployer, Mr. Barnard, artist's colourmau, No. Great
Tichfield-street.

Mr. Barnard said that in consequence of some gold
cakes being missed from a room in the warehouse at the
top of the house, to which only the prisoner and two others
i❑ his employ had access, he questioned theta respecting
it, and the prisoner's answers not being satisfactory, he
made other inquiries, and discovered that the prisoner had
taken the cakes, of the value of .£1 10s., and sold them to
a refiner in Prince's-street, Leicester-square.
Mr. Wm. Cutt,a, in the employ of Mr. Smart, refiner, of
Prince's-street, proved purchasing the gold dust cf the
prisoner for different sums, the prisoner telling him, in
answer to a question, that his father had just•died, and
that the gold dust was found at the bottom of the box, and
that his name was Evans. '

Francis Beetleston, 80 E, said that on taking the pri-
soner into custody ho admitted taking the gold cakes, and
said that he had thrown the cases in which they were
contained beind the prosecutor's house, and ho (Beetles-
ton) there found some of them, and at the prisoner's lodg-
ings he found some articles which were identified by Mr.
Barnard as his property.
The prisoner asked to have the case settled at once.

Mr. Barnard said the prisoner had been seven years in
his employ and he wished him dealt leniently with.
Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months
with hard labour, remarking that but for the prosecutor's
intercession he would have committed him for six months.

THE GENERAL COUNCIL.

Our Rome correspondent states that the works for the
Council will begin in St. Peter's immediately after the
feast of SS. Peter and Panl, and the transept will be given
up to the carpenters, decorators, &c., who are charged
with the task. The expenses, including those of the
lorlging and maintenance of poor bishops, and the tra-
velling expenses of the foreign consulters and theo-
logians, will be upwards of £12,000, and the repairs
of the cupola, necessitated by the action of the air,
especially on the side towards the sea, will be £4,000 more,
which, however, will be defrayed by the revenues of the
" Fabrica." The mosaics round the nave and transepts,
consisting of the words of Christ regarding the mission of
Peter, are to be executed in azure letters on a golden ground,
and these, if put in hand now, will not be finished till 1875
at the earliest.

PRICE OF GOLD.

t short exchange on .7,:ioudou.isl2sl. 1810. per £1 sterling
nicomparing these rules witti. the English Mint price of
s. Mil. per ou.►ce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in London than
in l'Aris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 63

there is no profit on the impoi tation of gold from the United

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30, 1869.

Parliament is now earnestly engaged in both
Houses in legislative labours of the most practical
and business-like character. Lords and Commons
were alike yesterday sitting for several hours toge-
ther, in Committee. The Peers, as a Committee,
were engaged upon the Irish Church Bill—the Com-
mons on the University Tests Bills. Clause after
clause, as in each instance, was taken carefully, yet
rapidly into consideration. Clause six was the last
dealt with in the Bill, relating to the University
Test; now passing through the House of Commons.
Clause ten of the Irish Church Bill was the latest

dealt with in the Lords' Committee. If only
the noble lords could take example from
the Duke of LEINSTER, as readily as did
the Earl of
.CARNARVON last evening, we should
have no cause for complaint as to any unnecessary re-
lay in the examination of the Lords' amendments.
His Grace, rising simultaneously with Ford CARNAR-
VON to claim the attention of the Committee, and
having priority conceded to him by the noble Earl,
in obedience to a loudly expressed wish on the part
of their Lordships, summed up all that he was de-
sirous of saying in the following laconic sentiment :
"I trust that no alteration will be made in the clause
as it stands, for the result will only be to keep the
country for another year in hot water." Not a syl-
lable further ! Having said that, the Duke of LEIN-
STER had said everything, and sat down. No won-
der the House, or rather the Committee, re-
sponded to a speech so terse and so entirely to the
purpose with " cheers and laughter." No wonder
the Earl of CARNAPXON debarred only for a few
seconds from addressing their Lordships. Imme-
diately upon his rising in due time to that end be
prefaced his remarks by:observing, "I will endea-

your to compress my ideas on this clause into
almost as few words as those of the noble duke"
—a promise which, in point of Let, he thereupon
tolerably well fulfilled. Again, we say, if only
noble lords generally would but emulate the brevity
and precision of his Grace the Duke of LEINSTER ! The
luxury of grouse shooting would in that case never
run the risk of being vexatiously postponed. The
midnight sittings of both branches of the Legislature
would not then be of frequent recurrence. Heredi-
tary awl popular representatives would not then,
as often as they do now, instinctively during each
Parliamentary sessior, find reason to cor-
rect the very rare and exceptional errors
of reporting, arising out of their own en-

THE TRIU3IPII OF ENGINEERING.

Stephenson's bridge over the Menai Straits and
Brunel's bridge at Saltash still stand unrivalled as
specimens of engineeringart. But a notable viaduct was
opened for public traffic on Wednesday, constructed
by the London and North-Western Railway Company,
to shorten the distance between London and Liver-
pool. It has been erected by-Mr. Baker over the Mersey
at Runcorn. The bridge—a wrought-iron open lattice
girder—consists of three openings of 305 feet each, the
height to the under edge of the girders at spring
tide high water being 75 feet. Like Stephen-
sons's bridge, the piers are built upon the rock. The
approaches to the Runcorn bridge are by two
viaducts of brickwork, containing on the Lancashire
side 05 arches, and on the Cheshire side 32 arches.
These arches are built in blue Staffordshire bricks,
and arc of 01 feet 6 inches, and .10 feet spans. The
facings and piers of the bridge are of Bramley-fall
stone. The distance from London to Liverpool by
the new route is something over 200 miles; it is
intended to travel it, without stoppage, in four hours
and a quarter.

PREF, TRADE OR COPYRIGHT.

The letter from Triibner and Co., protesting
against the Messrs. Rotten publishing Hans Breitt-
man's ballads, has called forth a reply from Mr.
Hotten. Re argues with much force that as free
trade exists it should be admitted to exist entirely.
If the firm of Triibner and Co. think it worth while
to advertise largely, and spend a great deal of
money over a work that is not copyright,. they do it
—and they should understand it—at their own risk,
at the risk of others being able to do it cheaper and
better atter they have brought out their edition. Mr.
'Totten would hail an international copyright between
Engl.na and America as a boon .to authors and
publishers in both countries, but until that is esta-
blished there should be no trade etiquette to over-
come free trade.

ARBITRATIONS.

The lawyer's definition of an arbitration as a very
costly and most unsatisfactory
arbitration settles kind of lawsuit, was
not given without some experience. In many cases
cases out of hand which would
otherwise fill the law courts, and cost no end
of money. But in others the suit lingers on
from day to day, is most expensive, and when
the end comes is satisfactory to neither party. Mr.
Juland Danvers, writing to the Times, calls atten-
tion to one which has now lasted some nine years.
It was commenced in 1860, but the parties to it can-
not get the thing settled. It pays the lawyers to
keep it in hand, and so they adjourn as quickly as
possible. Two hundred and twenty-four sittings
have already been held, and the matter is still far
from settlement. Many of the sittings, indeed, were
mere meetings for adjournment. The fees, of
course, were paid, but no work was done. Beware of
arbitration.

The London Quarterly Review deals with the chief
literary and theological works of the season. Among the
first are Milman's " St. Paul's," " The Lives of Lords
Lyndhurst and Brougham." and " The Life of Keble."

The reviewer of 6ir John Coleridge's " Life of Keble"

chews a full appreciation of the fine qualities of both
the poet and his biographer, albeit the reviewer

--- -
differs from them widely in theological sympathies.
The lesson he draws is that we should "learn from Keble'
intolerance, combined with eminent goodness, from his
errors and superstitions, allied to undeniable saintliness,
to be ourselves tolerant even to the intolerant." The critic

of the " Lives of Lyndhurst and Brougham " considers
that the biographer has not done justice to Brougham, and
that lie evidently thinks John Campbell a far greater man.

nen, too, these different classes of kisses are srtrangeiy
intermingled, as when, for instance, an old and attached
Minister, upon some formal occasion, kisses the hand of
his sovereign, but yet expresses in that kiss his reverent,
fond, and abiding attachment—a Burleigh kissing, on
receiving some wand of office or some mark of favour, the
hand of Queen Elizabeth. You cannot find any two things
in which there may be so much outward resemblance,
and at the same time so much inward difference, as in
two kisses. If you were to say " There are houses and
houses "—well, there is considerable difference in houses ;
but, for the most part, there is a similar inconvenience and
a similar want of skill and adaptation to be found in tho
mansion in Belgravia as in the suburban semi-detached
residence. Yes, I think the rest of the world would admit
that, if we were to turn " It y a fagots ct fagots," into
"There are kisses and kisses," we should have made a
translation that far exceeds the original in force and
meaning, as much, indeed, as Dryden exceeds Horace,
here and there, in his rendering of some Horatian Ode.—

Is now a race ot economy between I/16
different departments, so the battalion, together
with the wives and children of the officers and men,
are to be taken to Portsmouth, there embarked on
board a transport, and carried by sea round the
Land's End to Liverpool. The saving effected
thereby is £231; but the amount of discomfort in-
flicted upon some 650 persons in having to make a
sea voyage at this season of the year, to say nothing
of the real danger which there is in a voyage at such
a stormy season as this, may well be put against the
pecuniary saving.
