Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Dilke, said he thought
that some mistake must exist with respect to the

usz(mr,,ksr, or rut kiiistorkrt:

The Guardian has a very litufghii n tihle iton
the recent debate on Lord Lyttelton's bill for the
increase of the Episcopate. Our contemporary
(whose zeal for the Ulitirch noue an doubt) is very
severe upon the bishops. It says ,qi-iey lia4eti,
more converts •• among Churchmen to the policy of
disestablishment ih this One debate than all the
hired propagandists of the Liberation Sdciety
have brought over in twenty years." It rebukes the
Bishops' worldliness because their outward pomp and
handsome incomes are of more importance in
their eyes than spiritual life and efficient Church
organisation. It
.accuses them of negligence in
allowing year by year to go by without ally real
effort in Convocation or elsewhere to supply " the
notorious deficiencies now existing in episcopal
ministrations." It exposes the absurdity of the objec-
tion that under Lord Lyttelton's bill there would
be two classes of bishops, by pointing out that there
are already two classes, the Bishop of Sodor and Man
constituting the second. It declares that those who
opposed the bill used arguments which were " evi-
dently insincere." It then goes on to speak of the
" one sufficient answer" to Lord Lyttelton's project

freely enough out of doors," the " absence of
episcopal oversight in four or five dioceses," and
the general conviction that the Church can get
on very well without bishops. This conviction
is expressed with an abundance of scorn by
" persons who write in the all but avowed interests
of unbelief," but is, the Guardian holds, as little
justified as a landsman's assumption would be that
because he had seen a ship sailing along the coast
without accident while her commander was on shore,
no commander was needed. Finally, the Guardian
says, with reference to the dioceses in which there is
an absence of responsible episcopal government :
" There are obvious reasons why Churchmen should be
slow to proclaim the evils resulting from the infirmity of
bishops who have been zealous and efficient perhaps in
former days to the extent of their power. It does not
follow that they are insensible to the serious evils which
such an abeyance of episcopal oversight must, from the
nature of the case, entail. At all events, the argument
proves too much. If four or five dioceses are really as
well off without bishops as with them, the true
conclusion is, not that more bishops are unnecessary,
but that bishops are not wanted at all. It
may be that the delicacy of Churchmen has been
misplaced, as it certainly has been misunderstood. They
nidured more in this matter than anyone had a right to
expect them to endure. If their patient silence is miscon-
strued, it will be necessary for them to speak out. When
they do speak out, it will be tco late for the bishops to
complain of unpleasant truths. Bad their lordships been
candid and reasonable, when fair opportunities for their
cooperation were given, unpleasant truths need not have
been published to the world at all."

Idiots was held yesterday at the London Tavern, when
the report far the year was presented, and thirty-five
candidates elected to the institution. The present
number of inmates is 478. In the cases of twenty-one
of whom the term of five years, for which they were
elected, has expired, so that by yesterday's elections the
number was raised to 492. Satisfactory progress has been
male in the erection of the new building, the need for
which is proved by tho fact that about '2OO are seeking
admission to the asylum. About £12,000 is still needed to
compete the plan projected, and it is hoped that this wid,
ere long, be supplied.

CUBA.

The Pall ilia Gaze:le publishes the following information
from a correstoudent at Havanna]) Cated April 10 :
" Affairs it Cuba are very confused. I fancy that the insur-
gents will make no immediate head without eternal aid; but
it is not to be denied that the total t-uppression is not
yet over; and Ws is c spec:ally true es regards the
ear.tern di. trict of the h,land. The idea hero is that for
the last three weeks the insurrection has not made
progress. Dulce is a well-meaning, vulgar, ignorant
Spaniard, with a creole wife and the possessor of 1,2(:0
slaves. Dulce's dukedom, and his wife's slaveholding pro-
clivities, do not make either of them more popular with any
class in tLis place."

ITALIAN PROSPECTS.

The Times Florence correspondent has little that i 5
hopeful to say of the Italian Budget. Seldom, indeed, Pe
a nation been confronted with such a melancholy estial
of financial prospects. Thirty millions sterling are nectleA
before Italy can pay off her arrears and bring revenue an
expenditure to an equilibrium. The Italian Fin39Ce
Minister himself does not hope that this can 1,0
accomplished before Mt But there is a bright side
the prospects of the Italian nation. In many respects the
country is flourishing, and the lower classes are generally
well off, especially in the rural districts. The railsval.
subventions are now a very heavy charge, but these will/
be lessened by the completion of the Mont Cenis tunnel,
whilst the prosperity of the country must be augmented 11
these facilities for communication. The construction
mercantile shipping in Italian dockyards has greatinif
increased, and has become an important source
prosperity. In short, with good harvests, and, 3b°l,
all, peace, Italy may get out of her difficulties at
distant date. The army has already been reduced. ISTI
not still further lessen it ? English people will he anlazei,
to learn that it is the Italian Chamber of Deputies wilt
stands in the way of economy in the military departinetl'.
Besides wasting time in needless delays and by inattell;
tion to business, the deputies have committed the 100.;
donable blunder of voting more money than the Mini2tr#
demanded.

THAMES.

UNnEWAIIDED SERVICES.--William Dewberry, a
poor man, of No. 34, North-street, Limehouse-fields,
came before Mr. Paget, and said that at half-past
one o'clock in the morning of Wednesday' last he
was on his way home, and i❑ passing a fish shop in
Stepney, in the immediate vicinity of that court,
he discovered that the place was on fire, and flaalis
and smoke were issuing from the shop. He knocked
loudly at the door and shutters and alarmed the
inmates of the house, five in inumber, whom he
assisted in extinguishing the fire, which was con-
fined to the place where it broke out. He
asked the inmates for some compensation for
his trouble and the interest he bad taken in
saving their lives and property, but they
refused to give him anything, and said
he had no right to interfere that they were in-
sured, and he had better go to the fire insurance
office. He thought this was very strange treat-
ment, but as the people knew the value of their
own lives and property best he went to the insur-
ance official and related what he had done. The
clerks in the office told him they could not enter-
tain the application.
Mr. Paget thought -the inmates of the house
ought to have rewarded the applicant for the
trouble he had taken, and that he had done a very
meritorious act in saving life and property. He
could not interfere.

The Applicant—Can't you compel the insurance
office to reward me?

Mr. Paget—No ; I have no power whatever to
compel a fire insurance to give you compensation.
I don't think you have any remedy.
The Applicant—Thank you, sir. He then
departed.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—John Turner,
aged 17, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Paget, charged with stealing a purse containing
£1 10s. 6d. in money from Mrs. Jane John-
son Bourke, a lady residing at No. 5, College-
terrace, Tredegar-square, .Mile-end. A few days
since the prosecutrix was passing along the Mile-
end-road with two small parcels and a puree con-
taining 30s. 6d. i❑ her bands, when the .prisoner
impudently demanded the purse, and on its b.dng
refused be snatched it from the lady. She seized
bins aul struggled with him as well as she was
able, but he managed to break away from her, and
ran along Longfellow-road, running parallel with
the Regent's Canal. There was no thoroughfare
at the bottom of the road, and the prisoner
was compelled to turn back, and was run down by
an officer of Volunteers on horseback, who captured
him and gave him over to the police. Tae purse
and money were not recovered. The robbery was
effected at half-past 5 o'clock in the day time, in a
public and much-frequented road.
Several witnesses, who saw the robbery and out-
rage committed, gave evidence, and said the lady
made a determined but ineffectual attempt to pre-
vent the prisoner going away with her purse and
money.

Mr. Paget committed, the prisoner for trial.

THE SPANISH THRONE.

The Spanish Cortes are quietly debating over the ques•
tion of a State religion, as if the sovereignty of the countd
were settled, and no such problem remained to be solved•
But the revolutionary leaders cannot thus keep out of
sight this all-important difficulty. The Directory scheme
seems to make no progress. The Ministry is still
on the look out for a king, but unfortunately its members
are unable to agree upon a candidate. The correspondent
of the Constitutionnel says that the Liberal Union, at the
head of which is Serrano, is strongly in favour of Mont:
pensier. The Progressists are strongly opposed to this
prince, but they have no candidate to set up in his place. ref
some days past the unity and the concord of the Union have
given rise to the impression that it will triumph. Prial'

FOREIGN NOTES,

ala BELGIAN DIFFICULTY.
The Belgian railway dispute is not a question of
great political importance, and properly it ought to bac°
had no political significance whatever. But it is likely
to attain a matchless fame for the duplicity and confusion
of the negotiations respecting it. It was at first reported
that Belgium had given way. It was next solemnly
announced that France had found the bullying P°lll
hopeless, and had mitigated her demands. So far the
balance of evidence is in favour of the latter supposition.
It is certain that the interview between the French
Emperor and the Belgian Minister settled the matter ooe
way or the other, and the semi-official papers of Paris con-
fess that the chief concession insisted upon byFrance—the
ratification of the leases—has not been granted. According
to the Journal de Paris, the terms agreed upon are (1)
that the Belgian fares shall be lowered to the tariff of the
Eastern Company ; (2) that two trains a day shall run
from Strasbourg to Rotterdam, both to be conducted 11
French railway servants, and the Customs inspection
in crossing the Belgian territory to be made 11/
French agents. These concessions are certain,/
not equal to the ratification of the leases. As t,h:
Journal de Paris remarks, they are "less radiclu%
The Independence Beige, too, observes that the settlemov,
is more nearly in accordance with the wishes of Belgillel
than the demands of France. The little State, then,
has fought its own battle bravely, and has come

triumphant.
The Daily Nam, however, supports the inforrnAtien.'
given by the Independance Beige. This is to the effec"
that the Belgian Government should assume possession of
that portion of the line from Arlon to Brussels which el'
Great Eastern of France had contracted to purchase, an il
should then lease it to the French company upon tarns
and conditions to be arranged by a joint French and Del.
gian commission. This arrangement would be equivalent
to a surrender by Belgium. It is certain, in any cage'
that a mixed commission has been agreed upon for the
settlement of details. The Paris correspondent of the
Telegraph says that it will consist of only two rePr4l
sentativee.

VAGRANCY IN THE NORTH.

In consequence of many complaints being made
by tho people of Cumberland and Westmoreland as
to the robberies committed by tramping vagrants, it
was determined at the end of 1867 to enforce the
Vagrant Act strictly. The result has been that
in the year ending Michaelmas 1868, 524 persons
were apprehended in the two counties for begging,
and 374 were committed to prison. The chief con-
stable has reported that the course adopted has been
attended with most beneficial results, and he feels
convinced that if the law were generally carried into
reffect tramping vagrancy as a trade would be
speedily stopped. ller Majesty's Inspector of Con-
stabulary for the Midland District is in favour of
the system of ticket-of-way passes, and he notes the
difficulty of impressing upon the . public that they
support crime by giving indiscriminate relief. This
is an obstacle in the way of reform. Mendicancy
will exist as long as the public encourage it.
THE IRISH RAILWAY QUESTION.

There is great disappointment in certain circles
caused by the refusal of the Government to purchase,
this session, at least, the Irish railways. The real
supporters of the scheme are disappointed because
they thought that Mr. Gladstone would take it up as
another measure of justice tolreland. The speculators
are in agonies, because having bought in stock,
under the idea that they would soon have to sell to
the Government, they.find it now to be altogether
unsaleable. And the very companies themselves are
in despair because they are being ruined more com-
pletely as week by week passes on. Mr. Gladstone
does not absolutely refuse to deal with the matter.
In reply to the memorial so largely signed, the
Premier writes to Lord Clanricarde :
"I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter and
the enclosure, which contains so strong a manifestation of
Irish opinion on the subject of the railways of that
country ; and though I cannot say whether the circum-
stances of the present moment will allow of our giving
the question at once the full and definite consideration it
deserves, I will lose no time in bringing those consider?
tions under the notice of my colleagues,"

THE NIGHT HOUSES.

Mr. BRUCE, in reply to the question a.; to what the Go-
vernment proposed with respect to the conflict of opinion
that had taken place between Mi. Knox and S:r
Bodkin, the assistant-judge, said the question was not so
much ono of law, as the amount of evidence necessary to
ensure a conviction. Mr. Justice Blackburn had given an
opinion which referred to the matter, and he had that
afternoon received a letter front Deputy-Assistant Judge
Payne, which stated that the subject would come
on for consideration and decision befnre the Cou t of
Quarter Sessions to-m3crow, ant the course he prop .sed
was to wait until that decision had been given before they
took upon themselves the duty of amending the law in
order that it might be [nada sufficient to carry out what
Nvas the obvious intention of the Legislature.

TEE OEINANTS TAX.

Sir Charles Locock, Bart, D.C.L.,

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-

dining £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 wore 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 :

GOLD ITV AUSTRALIA.

The month of February, 1869, has been memorable in the
colony of Victoria from the discovery of the largest nugget
ever yet found in Australia. When cleaned it contained not
less than 2,268 oz. of pure gold, its value being
computed at £9,534. Strange to 54y, it was found
within two i ches of the surface by two fortunate Cornish
miners, who named it the " Welcome stranger." The nugget
next in size was the " Welcome," valued at £8,376, which
was exhumed from a depth of 180 feet in 1858. The total
amount of gold exported from Victoria this year is some
125,000 ounces lees than in the corresponding period last
year. The • drought has probably something to do
with this, for it seems that in Queensland the
Gympie goldfield had suffered from it. It is
again reported that gold has been found in Tasmania,
and in Now Zealand the search for gold is being actively
prosecuted. The Government of Otago has offered a re-
ward for further discoveries. On the West Coast of New
Zealand a nugget weighing 92 ounces was lately found.

It is stated that the rescue of the miners at Brierley
Hill cost the Earl of Dudley £25,000.

His Royal Highness the Field-Marsbal Command-
will hold a levee at one o'clock on Monday,
the 3d of May.

There was a further prosecution of Denaby Main
miners at Doncaster on Wednesday, five men being charged
with conspiracy and assault. The case against one man,
whose wife lay dead, was withdrawn, the bench dismissed
the case against a second, and the others were find 20s. and
costs for the assault.

An accident occurred at Scarborough on 'Wednesday
whereby one man was killed and four others very seriously
hurt. The men were engaged in some alteratious being
made to a house, when most of the scaffolding on which
they were working gave way, precipitating them to the
area below, a depth of 30 or 40 feet. One man died soon
after reaching the infirmary. lie has left a widow and
family. The others worn severely cut about the head.

It is reported that the council of the Evangelical
Allianco is agitated, and the very existence of the alliance

doctrine of "universal restoration." The Dev. T. li. Birks,
in one of his latest crorks, expresses his belief that the
language of holy scripture warrants a hope that the whole
human rues may bo restored, and this has been resented by
some of Mr. Ilirks's colleagues in the management of the
Allian e. Mr. Birks was second wrangler in 1834.
The Conservatives of Leamington some time since
sent a memorial to the Bishop of 'Worcester requesting him
to authorise the clergy in his diocese " to pray to Ahnight3
God during the morning and evening services on behalf
of the Irish branch of the United Church of England
and Ireland, at present in deep affliction." The Bishop re-

BEAILD S .

"The sincerest form of flattery is imitation," said
Rochefoucauld. Colonel Ilenderson,
leuderson, the new
Commissioner of Police, is a hairy man, and has just
given orders to the force that they may. wear beards
and moustaches. The consequence is that the
London policemen, by way of flattering their
chief, are just now in a very bristly s':ate,
which is anything but picturesque. Mr.
Childers also is an Esau, and the Owl under-
stands that " an order will shortly appear permitting
the wearing of beards in the Royal Navy." As shaving
on board ship is not an operation that men perform
because they like it, we may shortly expect to see
the whole of our gallant tars bearded like a pard.
In fact, there is no reason why the youngest
middy or cabin boy should not appear with
the proper hirsute appendages. Mr. Childcrs's
order is very comprehensive. It sanctions the wear-
ing, not only the growing, of beards. There is no
reason why the naval cadets at Dartmouth should
not exceed Don Whiskerando himself in fierceness of
countenance. It is bad news for Slicilield, since
razors will be a drug ; but 'tis an ill wind that blows
nobody any good, and if tip old-fashioned baroer
s
find their occupation gone, the modern perrftriuiers
will drive a roaring trade.

PEACE BETWEEN BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY.

The Etenclard has received intelligence from the La
Plata, which leads it to the conclusion that peace will soon
be established in South America. The Foreign Minister
of Brazil was at Ascuncion, occupied with the constitu-
tion of a Provisional Government, and the pre-
liminaries of a peace treaty. The independence of
Paraguay will be conceded, but the Allies demand that
the La Plata river shall be absolutely free to navigation.
Paraguay will preserve its territory intact ; but it must
renounce its claims to certain portions of the Ch:.co and
of the Brazilian province of Matto Grosso.

AFRICAN EXPL')RA lON.

The Viceroy of Egypt intends to despatch an exp.,cli-

of the White Nile and to establish Egyptian autho-
rity throughout the entire Nile basin. This expedition is
designed to explore as well as to conquer and annex, and
Sir Samuel Baker, who is now in England, is to take
charge of it. Whether the enterprise extends the glory
of Egypt or not, it cannot fail to be highly important to

A CIRCUS DIRECTOR EATEN BY LIOIO

A Brussels correspondent writes :--" Easter week
has closed with a fearful occurrence at Bailleul.
troupe of performing lions had been visiting the
place. On the night of the last performance the
lion -tamer was suddenly taken ill, and in orde°
not to disappoint the public the director of the
circus, M. Brennett, notwithstanding the oppoo
tion of his friends, was rash enough to undertake the
dompteur's part. M. Brennett entered the cage, and
succeeded for a time in making the lions go
through their performances ; but when it came to
the close, which consists of giving the animals roe
meat, the director lost courage, and instead of keepim
a firm eye on the animals, as tamers are wont to do, be
trembled, and made for the door of the cage. This sealed
his doom. A large lioness was the first to pounce uPol
him, and in a few minutes the rash, unfortunate man wile
torn to pieces.

SHOOTING AT BLACKBURN ELECTIO2'

At the Blackburn Town Hall, on Tuesday, a stationet
named John Charles Bradshaw, was brought up on re
mand, charged with shooting at two police-constables in
Penny-street, on the day of the parliamentary election
with intent to do grievous bodily harm ; also, wit)
unlawfully discharging a gun with intent, and wit/
assaulting a man named John Kenyon, after the declare
tion of the poll after the parliamentary election at Black
burn. A street row took place in Penny-street, where
the prisoner resides. He was seen to fire four shoU
into the street from his house window, and afterward'
discharged a revolver over the shoulder of Kenyon in tile
street, and then knocked Kenyon down with the but!
end of the revolver. Heavily-loaded weapons were found
in the prisoner's house. The theory of the prosecution
was that the prisoner fired the shot over Kenyon'
shoulder at two police-constables on duty in the street
This was denied by the defence, who alleged that the shot"
were fired to frighten the people who were breaking
the prisoner's windows. After a lengthy hearing the
magistrates dismissed the charge of shooting with intent/
and fined the prisoner £5 and costs for the assault 61
Kenyon, and 40s. and costs for unlawfully firing a gun; °I
in default three months' imprisonment.

THAMES.

A PAINFUL SCENE.—PILFEBING IN THE DOCKS.—
Frederick Miles, a boy messenger, was charged with steal-
ing 41bs. of sugar.
William Robinson, constable in the service of the Lon-
don and St. Katherine Dock Company, stated that he
stopped the prisoner yesterday afternoon at the No. 6 gate
of the London Dock, and searched him. He found a blue
paper packet of sugar under his coat, and :another in his
trousers pocket, weighing together 4:bs. He knew the
prisoner was a boy messenger, and asked him who. e he
came from, to which he replied from No. 6 warehouse.
Ho said "No, there was sugar there," and the prisoner
said, "I got it froot. No. 5 warehouse."
The prisoner, who was overwhelmed with shame and
grief, and sobbing loudly, said he had nothing to say.
The mother of the prisoner implored the magistrate to
forgive her son, and cried loudly.
Mr. Paget could not overlook the offenco, and sentenced
the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard
labour. There is no no class of cases gave him so much
pain as the sentences ho had to pass on persons for petty
pilfering in the docks. He had tried punishments, and
they failed, and in all cases of this kind ho should inflict a
sentence of two mouths' imprisonment and hard labour,
or commit for trial.

The mother of the prisoner fainted on hearing the

soutenco.
