THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

A correspondent of the Morning Post writes on the
subject of the released Fenians, and expresses his
conviction that their release was dictated by a sound
policy, and had no connection with the subsequent
atrocities. The question in all such cases is,
he considers, how the crimes are viewed, and
how the punishment will operate amongst the
people. Political crimes are very likely to be ele-
vated into virtues by the crowd; and the writer
points to the prisons of Warsaw as proof that
severity fails to repress political and patriotic disaf-
fection. The eighty-one Fenians under sentence of
penal servitude when the present Government came
into office were carefully classified. Two of them, Cos-
tello and Warren. who have been released, are likely,
in the opinion of this critic, to do the authorities ser-
vice by making Fenianism ridiculous. Mr. Newdegate
denounced Mr. Whalleyasa Jesuit in disguise, employed
to discredit Protestantism; and in the same way a
genuine Fenian might denounce Costello and
Warren as disguised loyalists. Fenianism, according
to this authority, has fallen 50 per cent. since these
releases and the consequent displays. The distinco
tion between Fenianism and Ribandism is strongly
insisted upon, and the writer concludes by arguing that
the release must have been wise and prudent, as the
present Government are more interested than any
other persons in the welfare of Ireland. As the ob-
jectors to the measure questioned its wisdom, and
not the good intentions of the Cabinet, this argu-
ment has little weight.
London, England, 1869-04-13

LORD POWERSCOURT.

Lord Powerscourt's letter to the papers, assenting
to Mr. Gladstone's policy on the Irish Church, seems
to have created a great stir amongst the Orange-
men. Lord Roden, the grandfather of the defective
politician, weeps publicly over his grandson's fall
from his high estate. 'Writing to the Dublin
Mail, the Earl of Roden most pathetically
sets forth his sorrow. " How (he asks) can I
describe my feelings at my grandson's (Lord
Powerscourt) conduct towards me ? I got him into
the House of Lords by interesting our Protestant
peers to vote for him at a vacancy in the represen-
tative peerage, by which he succeeded to the seat he
now fills, and in virtue of which he intends to vote
for Mr. Gladstone's bill. Those peers whom I can-
vassed for him, and who at my request voted for him,
naturally supposed that he held the same principles
and opinions as mine, and which I was fully led to
believe myself at the time. I can only say that I
consider such conduct in this transaction as most
ungrateful and disingenuous, coming in as he did to
the representative peerage under false colours. And
now he has the
presumption to designate as ' fire-
brands' those who are honestly, manfully, and con-
scientiously opposed to this measure of which he has
become a champion. I only hope he will live to
repent of his ingratitude towards one who has acted
by him as a father, and has lost no opportunity of
seeking his benefit." Could a lament by a father over
a prodigal son be more affecting?

CURIOUS INDIAN DIVORCE' CASE'•

A curious case connected with the obligations of the
marriage tie, and bearing upon our divorce laws, is at pre-
sent pending in the law courts of North-West India. When
the Queen-Mother of Oudh went to England to appeal
to the Queen, in person against the annexation, she had with
her (says the Indian Daily News) as her Prime Minister one
Masihood-dean, ft Mahomedan noble. This men had two
wives iu this country, but when he reveled England, ho
contract d another marriage with one, probably, of that
class of ill-taught, ill-Ira:nod Englishwomen, who have no
more of jection to Mahomedanism, for the cake of wealth or
rank, than to go to the Fe ejee Islands, if required to be matched.
They were married according to Dtahomedan forms, but
tbe lady was soon left behind in England, and he returned.
She has followed Lim, and, as he asserts she was divorced
before ho left England, she claims her dowry according to
Mahomeelan law. Tho case was brought up in the Benares
Courts, and decided in the lady's favour; but an appeal has
been made to the Iligh Court at Allahabad.—Bomball Ga-

WIFE MURDER AT MANCIIESTER.

A shocking murder was perpetrated in Miller-street,
Manchester, bttiveen twelv,; and one o'clock on Saturday.
Bet.jarnin Craw haw, a tailor, met his wife, Susan, about
twelve o'clock on Saturday night, on her return from mar-
keting, and induced her to accompany him to a public-house
in the neighbourhood. lie there met with some associates,
and asked his wife to give Lim money to .pay for drink,
which she refused to do. Ile threatened her with violence if
she did not comply with his request to -.pay for drink
which ho had ordered, and on her lcav:ng the house
he followed her to the street, knocked her down and kicked
her in a most brutal manner. A crowd was atttracted to
the scene, and the poor woman was rescued from the
violence of her husband, but. not befLid he had in-
flicted such injuries as. caused her death. A police
constable cane up, an'', finding that the woman bad been
badly injured, had her conveyed to the Ro3 al Infirmary,
where she died in a little more than half an hour after her
Omission. Crawshaw- was subsequently taken into cus-
tody, and he was to be brought before the magistrates this
morning. •

THAMES.

STEALING JACKETS.—John Boone and Daniel 11‘Carthy,
rough-looking thieves, were brought before Mr. Benson
charged with stealing two jackets, valued at 17s. Gd. each,
the property of James Jackson and William Evans, dray-
men, in the service of Taylor, Walker, and Co., brewers.
The draymon were delivering beer at a public-house in
Ratcliff ; and while they were absent in the house their
jackets, which had recently cost them 17s. Q. each,
were stolen. A police-constable named Childs, 193 H,
was sent for by Mr. Carpenter, a pawnbroker in Cannon-
street-road, who had detained Boone, and produced one
of the stolen jackets which had been offered to him in
pawn by the prisonor, who said he had picked it up. Mr.
C:Tenter said, " Off a dray, I am sure ;" served him,
and w0u1,,,d not let him go. Boone said that M'Carthy gave
him the jackei. Foster, 207 K, wont to the dwelling of
M'Carthy, in Blacksmiths' Arms-place, Back Church-lane,
St. George's-in-the-East, where he found him, and asked
him for the drayman's jacket he had stolen. M'Carthy
said he had stolen no jacket, and added, "If my fellow-
lodger is in trouble, he has no reason to get another gen-
tleman in the same predicament.
M'Carthy here said—l don't know this gentleman at all.
Mr. Benson—What gentleman ?
M'Carthy, pointing to Boone—Why, this here gentle-
man. (Loud laughter.)
LFoster—Both prisoners live in the same house; aad I
believe M'Carthy has pawned the other jacket.

M'Carthy—No, I arnt.
Foster—The two draymen each laid out nearly a week's
wages in buying a new jacket last week.
Mr. Benson said that Mr. Carpenter had behaved well
in the matter, and remanded both prisoners for a week.

TILE NEW LESBIAN LOAN.

The new railway lo: has not been productive of any
great liveliness in Russian securities. There is a very
general impression in commercial circles that Russia is
borrowing too much. This last £11,000,000 will bring the
total borrowings of the Czar's Government introduced in
London during the last two- years up to £33,415,000;
while on the Continent, within little more than the same
period, a further sum of £13,000,009 has been negotiated.
And even now there is no guarantee that a reasonable
interval will elapse before the cry of " more" is raised.
If this wholesale borrowing in time of peace be continued,
the credit of the empire must fall. It is true that the
money is int n led for the construction of railways, and
we cannot complain of Russia's desire to have efficient
land communication, even though it may one day be
employed against ourselves; but a network of railways is
is not to be made in a few months.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS DAY.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
MURPHY AND HIS LECTURES.

Mr. S. AYTOUN asked the Secretary of State for
the Home Department whether he was aware that a pro-
clamation had been issued by lir. Edward Sholton, Mayor
of the borough of Tynemouth, giving notice that any
persons attending the lectures delivered by Mr. Murphy
at North Shields, on the sth, 6th, ant 7th inst., and who
shall pay money for admission to the place where such
lectures are to be delivered, are liable to a penalty of
£lO under the provisions of the Act 39 Geo. 3, cap. 79 5.
15; and, whether, in his opinion, the Mayor of Tyne-
mouth has, by issuing such a proclamation, exceeded his
authority.

Mr. BRUCE said he was aware such proclamation bad
been issued, and ho hoped the Mayor had not exceeded
his authority as he acted by his (Mr. Bruce's) authority
and under his direction. Murphy had delivered lectures
in the North and his route had been marked with
disturbances and interruptions. He acknowledged that
the Act wa( very stringent and was only applicable
to extreme cases ; he considered this to be an extreme
case, and when the Mayor heard that Murphy intended to
deliver a lecture at Tynemouth, he applied to the Home
Office, and by his (Mr. Bruce's) directions, the Mayor
issued the proclamation. (Hear, hear.)
MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY•BILL.
Mr. RUSSEL GURNEY moved the second reading of
this bill, and said that up to the present time the state of
the law was that the husband has absolute dominion
over the property of his wife, and absolute domin;on
over all that the wife might obtain by her own labour.
In the last census it was shown that SCO,OOO women were
earning wages, and it was upon this large class that the
laws bore with great severity, and the rich certainly would
not have tolerated such a law for any length of time,
had they not had their remedy in the Covets of Equity.
The learned gentleman referred to cases iu which a wife
had been driven from her home by the brutality of her
husband, and when she had raved sufficient to start in
business her husband had come down upon the goods
and exorcised his conjugal lights. There were no doubt
several moles of providing a partial remedy, but he
thought the only remedy was the remedy contained in
the bill—namely, that the wife should be allowed to
retain her own with the same rights, and subject 'to
the same liabilities, as her husband. He asked the
Louse to assent to the second reading of the bill, and he
would then propose that the bill be referred to a select
committee in order that the clauses might be more satis-
factorily examined. Such a bill was in force now in India
and Upper Canada. He thought his bill would alleviate
very great hardships and remedy au unjust law.
After a short discussion the bill was read a second time
and referred to a select committee.

LIFE PEERAGES.

Mr. Thorold Rogers has written at some length to

it' probable that the unanimity shewn by the House
, of Lords on the subject will prevent the Lower House
from offering any serious opposition to Lord
Russell's bill. For his own part, Mr: Rogers looks
with disfavour on the innovation, thinking its motive
to be shallow and its futility manifest. He
denounces the narrowness and selfishness of the
aristocracy, or oligarchy, as ho terms it, in
the days of its former influence, and draws
out a catalogue of their political crimes and
blunders, giving them the whole credit of our
dynastic wars, of the rupture ivith America, of the
continental wars, of the pressure of taxation, and of
all delays in the adoption of every just and
reasonable public measure. It is not surprising that
Mr. Rogers thinks the changes proposed by Earl
Russell will be powerless to reform such an assembly,
but he is afraid that the proposed translation to the
Upper House may exercise an evil influence on the
unlucky recipients of life peerages. Does anyone,
he asks, imagine that a member of Parliament who
withdraws from the Lower to the Upper House after,
ten years' service will carry popular respect with
him ? Such expedients cannot, he thinks, revive the
energies of the House of Lords since Lord Russell's
bill will depreciate the old hereditary peerage without
giving reality or value to the new life peerage. As for
the argument that some distinguished persons, unable
to enter the Commons, and too poor to support an
hereditary peerage, may join oiu legislators by this
method, Mr. Rogers condemns it altogether. Politi-
cians, in his opinion, need not be legislators, for the
greatest masters of political science which this
country has produced h Lve never sat in either House.
Mr. Rogers, after setting forth his own views at some
length, decides that " preposterous vanity " induces
others to state their opinions. Mr. Rogers is him,
self, no doubt, over modest.

THE IRISH SOCIETY.

Mr. MAGUIRE rose to move that an humble address
be presented to her Majesty, praying that she would bo '
graciously pleased to issue a Royal Commission to inquire
into the manner in which- the Irish Society administer
their property, which, according to their own admission in
the law suit with the Skinners' Company they hold as
trustees for the benefit of that trust; and to consider
whether, under a totally different state of circumstances
from those to which the society had its origin, it would
not be advisable to carry into effect the recommendation
of the royal commissioners of 1851 on the corporation of
London, that the Irish Society should be abolished; and
to advise such other arrangements as would be most in
harmony with existing circumstances and most conducive
to the public advantage. The hon. member took the op-
portunity of entering at length into the circumstances that
led to the formation of the Irish Society by the English
Solomon, James the First, in 1613. He contended
that from the first stroke of the pen of the
" royal puffer," King James, down to the present
time, the whole action of the corporation of London had
been to enrich and enjoy themselves without giving as
much as a single thought to the improvement of the con-
dition of the Irish population residing in the country.
The rule of the Corporation had nearly lead to the de-
struction of the city of Derry, and it was not until Alder-
man Allsop came to London and informed the Corporation
that longer leases bad been given than was usual, and the
sudden improvement was the result of the new arrangement.
Tho Irish Society of London seemed to have a prodigious
love of law, in fact it seemed as if the aldermen of Lon-
don were as foal of law, as it was proverbial
they were of turtle and champagne. (Laughter.) All
the society seemed to think about was the frittering away
the revenue cf the society, and that being the Case it was,
in his opinion, certainly fur the good of Derry and Cole-
rain, that the Irish Society should ba abolished. (Hear,
hear.)
The motion was withdrawn.

Leave was given to bring in the following bills :—Mr.
Goldney, to amend the law relating to the appointment of
county coroners ; the Lord Advocate, to amend the Poor-
law in Scotland, and another touching the law relating to
Endowed Hospitals in Scotland.

The Libel Bill was read a second time.
The report on Ways and Moans was brought up and
agreed to.
The house then adjourned.

next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of tho Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. it is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

ELECTION INTELLIG ENCE.

The politicians of Brecon have fixed upon their
candidates. The Liberals bring forward Lord Hyde,
a lad of 22, and son of the Earl of Clarendon; the
Conservatives will oppose to him Lord Claud John
Hamilton, son of the Duke of Abercorn, who was
defeated at Londonderry. The Marquis of Camden,
who, as Earl Brecknock, joined the Cave in
1866, has graciously announced that his
tenants may vote as they please. At
Youghal, where Mr. Weguelin (L) has been most
righteously unseated for most lavish expenditure
before the election, the Liberals have fixed upon Mr.
Montague Guest; and Sir Joseph M‘Kenna, who was
defeated last year, and who has been the hero of
many defeats, will stand in behalf of the Conserva-
tives. Mr. Guest is- the second brother of Sir Ivor
Guest, who, like his younger brother the member
for Poole, is a Conservative.

" THE BOOK OF J.ASHER."

The circumstances under which Mr. C. W. Rankin,
M.A., Head Master of King Edward Vl.'s Grammar
School at Southampton, was censured by the
Southampton Charity Trustees for recommending
Dr. Donaldson's " Book of Jasher " to the Library
of the Hartley Institution, are explained in a somewhat
long correspondence which has been printed. What Mr.
Hankin did, it seems, was not to " recommend," but to
" suggest " the purchase of the book, which he had not
read. For this the trustees, acting on the motion of the
Rev. Mark Cooper, rector of St. Mary's, Southampton,
passed a resolution expressing a hope that Mr.
nankin would disavow "the obscene and sceptical
opinions" of the book, and remove - the sugges-
tion which he had caused to be entered in the
suggestion book of the Hartley Institution. In subsequent
letters Mr. nankin contested the right of the trustees to
review what be had done as a subscriber to the
library, and objected to their characterising a book
written by a clergyman of the church of England,
and quoted without reprobation in various standard works,
such as Dr. Smith's "Dictionary of the Bible," as "scep-
tical and obscene." Finally, the trustees passed the
following resolution :—" That the trustees are glad to
learn from Mr. Hankin's reply to their resolution of the
29th of March that he has not studied the book in ques-
tion. They are, therefore, bound to acquit him of inten-
tional wrong in the matter."

Peter Connor, who was arrested on Suspicion for
.be murder of Marit Fiizsimonq, was again brought before
Mr. Alderman Stone at the Guildhall on Tuesday, and
lib2rated.

On TueEday a Pafiame tary return was pu')-
lifilled, showing the nun b r f eonvi t 3 iseharge.l from or
retained in convict prisons in or to this country in the years
ending 31st March, 1865, 1866, 1867, and 1868. This
return shows a large deer, ass during the last two years in
the number of convicts liberated on limns°.
