'THE ALABAMA DISPUTE.

Despatches from the British Government have been
received by our Minister at Washington, Mr. Thornton,
since the rejection of the Alabama Treaty ty the Senate.
The Philadelphia Public Ledger says that Mr. Thornton,
in a recent conversation on the subject, indicated that any
further negotiations would have to be opened by the
Government of the United States. This seems to be
regarded as the tenour of the instructions received by Mr.
Thornton.

AN INDIAN JOB.

The Times of India has been thrown into considerable
excitement by the announcement in a Madras paper
that Mr. Waymouth Gibbs, formerly tutor to the
Prince of Wales, has received the appointment
of legal member of the Governor-General's Council
in succession to Mr. Maine. The Bombay Gazette
calls this a surprising report which requires confirmation,
but the Times of India fears that the news is only too true,
and that a job is to be inflicted on India. "Nine-
tenths of the community are consequently asking `Who is
this Mr. Gibbs ? ' and the remainder, `What has he
done to shew himself fitted to occupy so distin-
guished and responsible a position?' To both these
questions only one answer can be given: ' He was tutor
to the Prince of Wales.' It is felt, therefore, that, how-
ever the appointment may torn out, Mr. Gibbs will owe
his position, not to the operati .n of the principle of natural
selection, but to Court influence—the persistent pressing,
probably, of some half promise made years ago." The
Indian journal adds that many admirably-qualified men
could have been found, both in England and India, to take
this post. There are Mr. John Pruce Norton, Mr.
Pitzjames Stephens, and Mr. Hobhouse, for instance.
Certainly, if this appointment has been made, there ap-
pears a just ground for complaint. Maine, author of the
admirable treatise on " Ancient Law," we know, and
Stephens and Norton we know, but what manner of man
Mr. Gibbs is must be left for the decision of time. He is
no doubt a gentleman and an excellent tutor, but he is no
lawyer, except in the sense of having " eaten his dinners"
at one of the Inns of Court.

CAUTION TO CAIIMEN.—Wm. Connell, a driver, in the
emp!oy of Mr. Card, omnibus proprietor, of Westminster,
was charged before Mr. Tyrtvhitt by the Royal Soeit,ty
for the Prevention of Cru. Hy to Animals, with ‘vo. king a
horse in an unfit state.

Mr. Henry Andrewesr, the chief officer of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the
prisoner with a horse attached to a cab in Band-street.
The horse was sweating and trembling:, and resting on the
tip of one foot, and seemed in great pain ; and ou speaking
to the prisoner he said he was going to drive a fare fur-
ther 01.

George Young, an offica• o: the society, gave skuila
ev:dence.

Mr. Arthur Cherry, tho Government veterinary sur-
geon, said the horse appeared to be suffering great
pain in the off fore-leg, and it was as much as it could
do to walk.

Tyrwbitt fined the prisoner 10s., or seven days,
pt the same time cautioning tha owner against again work-
ing the horse.
The owner of the horse said there was nothing the
mater with the horse, and he certainly should work it
again, and the society's officers could do what they liked.

WEXFORD, May 8.

A vessel which bad been riling in the South Bay
was seen to part from lice anchors and go ashore
this morning during a n)rth-eawerly gale (says Mr.
Ca4ldan, the collector of her Majesty's customs).
The Civil Service lifeboat of tit! National Lifeboat
Inaltudon promptly proceeded to the spot under
sail, the sea running fe.arfuly high on I.er beam.
On nearing the scene of the ..vree';, some_men_w4m....
seen onikard. The 1 feboa.'s anchor was then let
go, she veerel doNII, and was fortunately the means
of saving the four men. After several attempts in
the heavy surf to row tff the lifeboat, by the vio-
lence of the sea, was driven asln,re, and was imme-
diately hauled up by those on the batch, all on
board escaping unhurt. Two of the vessel's crew,
before the arrival of the lifeboat, took to their boat,
which on being put over the side was dashed
asl:ore, and they were with difficulty saved.
The vessel was the schooner Handy, of
Wexford, bound to that port from Dublin, with a
cargo of wheat. The lifeboat men report that
they have additional confidence in their noble
boar, after her performances on this occasion.
This valuable life-boat, which was presented to the
Institution by the gentlemen in the Civil Service,
through the indefatigable exertions of Jas. A.
Dow, Esq., and others, has already been the means
of saving 44 lives from different wrecks.

ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.

Another of those attempted robberies with violence
which so often lead to loss of life, but which are generally
punished by the smallest of sentences, has just taken place
at Birmingham. A man, named Hill, was brought to the
police-court charged with stabbing with intent to murder.
The prosecutor, a bootmaker, seeing the prisoner and
another man loitering about outside his shop, watched
them. Presently Hill came in, and after several
ineffectual attempts to steal something, managed to open
a case. Prosecutor, upon this, darted out and seized the
prisoner, and told the boy to go for a policeman. The prisoner
said, " Loose me," and, taking up a leather-cutting knife
which was on the counter, added, "If you don't, I will
can this through you." Prisoner then dealt a blow at him
with the knife. It entered his arm, and went in almost
up to the haft. This caused prosecutor to loose
his hold, and the prisoner ran away. Prosecutor
followed him into Bow-street, when the prisoner
met with some companions, who tripped prosecutor up.
lie regained his feet in a moment, and succeeded in over-
taking the prisoner, whom he held till two police-constables
came and took him into custody. Before the officers came
the prisoner called upon his associates to dash a bricl
through prosecutor's head. The prisoner, with the other
loiterer, who was also apprehended, was committed for
trial.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Antual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :-
1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other band, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
.£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence,
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of the
society :

FEARFUL RAILWAY CATASTROPHE.

The New York, Tribune reports a terrible railway
calamity which recently occurred on the Long Island
Railway. The regular 10.30 a.m. passenger train for
Northport left Hunter's Point in time, with a train of
three cars, two passenger cars, one baggage and smoking
car, drawn by the locomotive " Thurlow Weed,"
and carrying about 100 persons, between twenty and
thirty of them being in the rear car. When a mile and a
half beyond Jamaica, at about fifteen minutes past eleven,
a sudden jar Was felt, fullowed by a crash like the sound of
a cannon, and the startled conductor stopped the train as
speedily as possible. The engine and baggage-car were
unharmed. The hind truck of the second car was off the track,
but no one in it was injured, and the car itself sustained
very little damage. But the third car was thrown from
the track by the broken rail to which the catastrophe is
attributed, and the forward truck was in some unaccount-
able way broken off, and tipped up in such a manner as
to lodge between the track and the floor above it. Instead
of being stopped by this obstacle the car rushed on, and
the iron wheels tore through the floor, breaking it to
splinters and ripping the seats from their fastenings, and
finally knocking off the hind truck, dropping the car on
the track. If the coupling had only broken at
this instant the accident would not have been
SO terrible, but the link held with fatal tenacity, and
for at least fifty yards further the bottomless cage
bounded along, grinding the miserable passengers beneath
its cruel edges, and strewing the horrible mass of blood-
stained rubbish and writhing humanity along thetrack, so
that when it finally stopped it was entirely empty, only
excepting one wretched woman, who lay half under it.
Four men, one woman, and an infant were killed almost
instantly. Thirteen persons were also more or less severely
injured—one or two, it is thought, fatally.

CAUTION TO CABMEN.-Wm. Council, a driver, in the
employ of Mr. Card, omnibus proprietor, of Westminster,
was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt by the Royal Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with working a
horse in an unfit state.
Mr. Henry Audrewes, the chief officer of the Royal
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the
prisoner with a horse attached to a cab in Bond-street.
The horse was sweating and trembling, and resting on the
tip of one foot, and seemed in great pain ; and on speaking
to the prisoner he said he was going to drive a faro fur-
ther on.
George Young, an officer of the society, gave similar
evidence.
Mr. Arthur Cherry, the Government veterinary sur-
geon, said tho horse appeared to be suffering great
pain in the off fore-kg, and it was as much as it could
do to walk.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner 10s., or seven days,
at the same time cautioning tha owner against again work-
ing the horse.
The owner of the horse said tbere was nothing the
matter with the horse, and he certainly should work it
again, and the society's officers could do what they liked.

WRECK ON THE IRISH COAST.

WEXFORD, May 8.

A vessel which had been riding in the South Bay
was seen to part from her anchors and go ashore
this morning during a mrth-easterly gale (says Mr.
Caghlan, the collector of her Majesty's customs).
The Civil Service lifeboat of the National Lifeboat
Institution promptly proceeded to the spot under
the oca rnnutut; tc.i.tutly WO on her beam.
On nearing the scene of the wreez, some men were
seen on board. The lifeboat•'s anchor was then let
go, she veered down, and was fortunately the means
of saving the four men. After several attempts in
the heavy surf to row off the lifeboat, by the vio-
lence of the sea, was driven ashore, and was imme-
diately hauled up by those en the beach, all on
board escaping unhurt. Two of the vessel's crew,
befure the arrival of the lifeboat, took to their boat,
which on being put over the side was dashed
asl,ore, and they were with difficulty saved.
The vessel was the schooner Handy, of
Wexford, bound to that port from Dublin, with a
cargo of wheat. The lifeboat men report that
they have additional confidence in their noble
boar, after her performances on this occasion.
This valuable life-boat, which was presented to the
Institution by the gentlemen in the Civil Service,
through the indefatigable exertions of Jas. A.
Dow, Esq., and others, has already been the means
of saving 44 lives from different wrecks.

-•- ROBBERY WITH- VIOLENCE.

Another of those attempted robberies with violence
which so often lead to loss of life, but which are generally
punished by the smallest of sentences, has just taken place
at Birmingham. A man, named Hill, was brought to the
police-court charged with stabbing with intent to murder.
The prosecutor, a bootmaker, seeing the prisoner and
another man loitering about outside his shop, watched
them. Presently Hill came in, and after several
ineffectual attempts to steal something, managed to open
% case. Prosecutor, upon this, darted out and seized the
prisoner, and told the boy to go for a policeman. The prisoner
said, " Loose me," and, taking up a leather-cutting knife
which was on the counter, added, "If you don't, I will
7un this through you." Prisoner then dealt a blow at him
with the knife. It entered his arm, and went in almost
up to the haft. This caused prosecutor to loose
his hold, and the prisoner ran away. Prosecutor
followed him into Bow-street, when the prisoner
met with some companions, who tripped prosecutor up.
He regained his feet in a moment, and succeeded in over-
taking the prisoner, whom he held till two police-constables
Came and took him into custody. Before the officers came
the prisoner called upon his associates to dash a brick
through prosecutor's head. The prisoner, with the other
loiterer, who was also apprehended, was committed for
trial.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

A serious railway accident occurred at the Gretna
Green station of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway
an Saturday morning. A goods train of some thirty or
forty waggons, which was timed to leave Carlisle at
5.30 for the North, left that city a few minutes late on
that morning, and when it arrived at Gretna Green
station it had to be shunted from the down line to the
up line, in order to allow the passenger express, which
leaves Carlisle at 6.30 a.m., to pass. The men in charge
of the goods train were under the impression that they
.had nineteen minutes to spare, the passenger train
being known to be fifteen minutes late; but as they
were backing across the line into the "up " rails,
the express came dashing along, and a fearful
collision took place. The driver of the passenger
train in approaching the place had " slowed"
Ills engine, either in obedience to signals or because he
saw the goods train in front, but he was unable to avert
the catastrophe. He ran into the side of the goods train
with a terrible crash. Five or six of the goods waggons,
containing yarns and drapery goods, were knocked over,
some of them being broken into splinters, and their con-
tents scattered on the line. There were two iron vans
laden with gunpowder in the hinder end of the goods
train. One of these was tilted over by the force of the
collision, but fortunately it was not much injured. As
the passenger train collided with the other at an angle, the
mgine and tender seem to have cannoned off to the
left. They went toppling down the embankment, both of
them being completely overturned, the funnel of the
engine being buried in the hedge of the adjoining field,
and the contents of the tender—the coals, tool boxes, &C.
—being thrown out. The engineman and fireman had ei
most wonderful escape, sustaining no injury. The fireman
was found lying among the coals of his overturned tender,
apparently very little the worse for his fall. When the
engine and tender left the metals the coupling links which
fastened them to the train broke, and this circumstance
secured the safety of the passengers, none of whom
were hurt. A passenger carriage next the guard's van
was thrown off the line and considerably damaged, but it
was empty. Next to that was a saloon carriage, occupied
by a family travelling north. This also left the
rails, but not a single occupant, it is said, was injured.
None of the other passengers complained of being hurt,
and they all resumed their journey.

TUE MAYOR OF CORK.

The news from Cork, unfortunately, confirms the
first intelligence from that city, that the result of the
Government policy has been to raise Mr. O'Sullivan
in general estimation. While he was allowed to do
as he liked his conduct was rather regarded
by the lower classes as laughable, 3fet still
as something to ba feebly condemned. But
now ho is to be made a " martyr " all
his faults are turned to noble deeds. The
cry of the " Constitution in Danger " is taken up ;
and Cork is proud of her first magistrate. Even
among these who would be foremost in condemning
sedition it is a doubtful matter whether the Govern-
ment bill ought to be allowel to peas. They would
be very glad for Mr. O'Sullivan to resign ; but they
are afraid that the passage of such a bill would
inflict a blow on the right of choosing its own
mayor, which is possessed by the Corporation. In
the House of Commons, too, there is a great
dislike -of the bill. It may be a necessary, but it is
regarded as a most disagreeable, task. And the
haste of the Government, the manifest want of any
inquiry worthy of the name, the uncertainty as to
the form and practice of receiving evidence on oath
at the bar of the House, all these circumstances in-
crease the disinclination to deal with the matter.
As to Mr. O'Sullivan himself, so eccentric is he that
it can hardly be said what he will do. On Saturday
night he sent out telegrams announcing his resigna-
tion; Lu; hardly had the news become known when
he changed his mind and contradicted it. First he
would, then he would not, have counsel at the bar of
the House. He denounced those as traitors and
treacherous friends who had defended him in the
local council, and refused as an offer from the enemy
the proposed payment of his expenses for the defence.
He skews favour to the law-breakers ;. he has
no name bad enorgli for the police, and
those who wish to maintain order. Anyone who
wishes to obtain his favour must neither attack nor
defend him—but has only to get drunk or to
commit some petty offence. Certainly, if the Mayor
does not resign, lazy or timid members of the House
must throw aside both their love for letting alone and
their fear of interference; such a man Mlle not be
retained on the bench. The Government intend to
go on, and have retained as counsel for the Crown, to
appear at the bar of the House, Mr. Solicitor-
General Barry, Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, and Mr.
Archbold, the Attorney-General's standing "devil,"

portant. Tile Cnilgprrn.fivo circular makes especial
reference to the O'Sullivan Bill.

TILE CARLTON CLUE AND TILE CONSERVATIVE

CHIEFS'.

The Adcertisfr sus there was not only a crowded,
but an excited, meeting of the " Carlton " on Satur-
day last. " Nothing could have been more warmly
debated than the proposal t) have portraits of Lord
Derby mad Mr. Disraeli painted for the club, as a
slight recognition of the eminent services 'rendered
by these distinguished Statesmen' to the Conservative
cause; but for some reason or other the proposition
failed to meet with the full measure of sapport which
its originators expected, and the motion was with-

drawl."

THE ARMY AND THE PRESS.

A correspondent of one of the metropolitan dailies
calls attention once again to the Queen's regulation
which prohibits the making of anonymous com-
plaints, or " publishing anything" through the
medium of the press calculated to excite discontent
in the army. The immediate result of this rule is
that grievances go on year by year almost unheard
of. There is practically no other way of obtaining
redress—to write to the newspapers is the usur4,l
way with all other classes—and consequently the
best soldiers are in haste to leave the army. Brand.
mg, which was thought to be abolished, lived fo
yearn through this regulation. Is there no way of
modifying it?

DEPUTY-CHAIRMEN.
William Bowman, Esq., F.R.S.
Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L., F.R.S.

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :-
1. The sum of £412,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was £100,883,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in
the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
4. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than
£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among tho distinctive features of the
Society :
CREDIT SYSTEM.—On any Policy for the whole of
Life, where the ago does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on credit.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.
PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained
of any of the Society's Agents, or of

MILITARY EDUCATION.

The Commissioners of Military Education have
just been visiting Woolwich. It is believed
that the proposal to amalgamate Sandhurst
with Woolwich has been relinquished, that the
Cadets' College at Sandhurst, if not abolished,
will be modified into the collegiate system ; and that
the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich will be
continued under a different regime. It has been
proposed that before admission to Woolwich the
cadets will have to be thoroughly proficient
in theoretical knowledge, such as mathematics,
languages, &c., and receive instruction only in
practically fitting them for the Royal Engineers and
the Royal Artillery. Should this proposal be adopted,
the cadets on c.clmission will be temporarily com-
missioned as sub-lieutenants, and become amenable
to the Articles of War ; and any subsequent mis-
conduct will render them liable to trial and punish-
ment by court martial. The effect of this alteration
would be to render the cadets more proficient and
settled, and lessen the working staff and number of
professors.

STREET OUTRAGE.

A lady, writing to the Times, records a case at the
Central Criminal Court which was not reported in
the newspapers. It was a charge preferred by her
against two roughs. who attempted, very violently,
to rob her in mid-day sonic) time since. She
resisted, and succeeded in getting two of the roughs
captured, identifying them without doubt. They
were sent for trial, and the bill was endorsed by the
grand jury. They were tried before the Recorder.
He expressed himself in his summing up decidedly in
favour of conviction: yet the jury found the prisoners
" not guilty." The judge was surprised, and declared
that if such verdicts were given there would be no
security for the public. The correspondent of the
Times is indignant, and asks if a lady walking in
mid-day close to her own house can be robbed and
seriously hurt, and after having to go through all
the miseries of prosecuting her assailants can obtain
no redress ? Moreover, if the villains are set at
large without correction, what security can there be
for life or property ?

SPECULATION IN FOREIGN LOANS.

The Daily .2%2V8 of yesterday issued a warning
to the money market. It counsels speculators to
hewftre nF foreign gtockg. The country has been con-
gratulating itself on the revival of trade, the return
f prosperity after such a very long period of
monetary depression. But if the Daily News is to
be believed, our hopes have been groundless.
What was taken as a sign, of the return
of better things is rather otherwise. The
money which has been wanted has not been circu-
lated at home at all. We have in England been
stricken to some extent with the mania which pre-
vails more extensively on the Continent for foreign
seems to be a good chance
bonds. At present there
of "making a hit" in foreign stock, and so money
has been going to the United States, Russia, &e.
If these speculations go on, they can only end again
in ruin and further depression. The action of the
Bank .of England in raising the rate of discount
timed, and will be of the
Las, therefore, been well
greatest use if it check the outflow of money. A
further rise is expected.
