ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT TO UPSET A
PASSENGER TRAII4.

An atrocious attempt to destroy life has been made by
some miscreant upon the London • and South-Western
Railway, in the vicinity of Clapham Junction. An engine-
*driver in the employ of the company left the Feltham
Station at 7.15 with an engine and tender for Waterloo, in
order to bring out the eight o'clock down train for Windsor.
He was running his engine tender foremost, and upon pass-
ing Clapham Junction be pulled up, as the signals were
on on both the boxes. He started afresh, and to the cir-
cumstance of his having been obliged to stop is pro-
bably due his preservation from death, for while going
between the Clapham Junction and West London signal
boxes, his locomotive ran over a heavy sleeper which
someone had placed across the metals. So violent was the
shock that the guards of the tender were knocked away,
although the engine remained on the metals. Lawrence
ordered his fireman to see what was the matter, as it was
extremely dark at the time: The fireman accordingly
descended from the engine tender, and upon going back
discovered the sleeper, which had been split by the
violence of the collision. Taking the sleeper, as no
more were then to be found upon the line, he ran his
engine on to Nine Elms, and gave information to the
police. About seven minutes after Lawrence had driven
his engine from the spot where it had met the sleeper, the
7.15 p.m. train from Kingston ran up to the same
place, the engine crashing into four or five more sleepers,
which must have been placed upon the line directly Law-
rence had taken his engine away. In this case also the
engine very providentially did not quit the rails. The
spot is close to an embankment some twenty feet high,
and had the locomotive gone over, it would probably have
carried with it several out of the twelve or fourteen car-
riages of the train, which was occupied by a number of
passengers. The company is taking active measures to
discover the perpetrator of this deed, and it is said
that suspicion already points to a recently-discharged
employe.

AN EXPERIENCED FORGER.

At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, a young
man, giving the name of William Walker, was sentenced to
seven years' penal servitude by Mr. Justice Brett, foe
uttering a forged cheque for £397 10s. on the 18th ult, at
the bank of Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co., Lombard-
street. On the 17th of March the prisoner obtained posses.
sion of the cheque and pass-books of Messrs. Newman, Son,
and Co., cigar importers, by means of a forged order ; and
on the following morning he presented at the bank the
cheque in question, which was taken from the lost book.
Ile was given into custody, and there was found upon him
the forged cheque from the same book, and in the
same name, for £76 10s. His memoranda book contained
entries referring to the accounts of other firms, and he
bad in his possession a number of forged orders, addressed
to Messrs. Barnett's and the Imperial Bank, for the
cheque-books of several other persons well known in the
City. He refused to give his real name or
address, and the cheque-book, containing 240 forms, had
not been recovered. It was evident from the notes in his
pocket-book that he was prepared to enter upon an ex-
tensive system of swindling. Evidence was given to shew
that he was a few years ago in business as a grocer ; but
he had been convicted of forgery at Birmingham in the
name of ifobday, and had since committed frauds in
Liverpool

OUR INDIAN EMPIRE.

On Wednesday Sir Vincent Eyre read a paper
at the Royal United Service Institution, White-
hall-yard, on " The Rise and Progress of the
Affghan War." Lord Lawrence was pre-
sent, and Sir R. Murchison was in the chair.
After taking an historical survey of the affair,
he shewed that our position in Affghanistan was
a false one, and fraught with danger in many ways.
We should be careful for the future not to play at our
favourite old game of opposition to Russian progress
in Central Asia. The fears which were entertained
respecting the interference of Russia in the East
were, he considered, groundless, and the inhabitants
of India would not desire to change European
masters, and be under the dominion of the Czar. For
generations to
i come the Russian forces must neces-
sarily be too insecure to undertake any wild enter-
prises in the direction of Affghanistan. In con-
clusion, he advised our authorities to look to the
assailable points of the Indus, and to maintain
friendly relations with the subjects of Affghanistan.
Sir R. Murchison proposed a vote of thanks, and
declared that the Russian Emperor was peaceably
inclined, and had given solemn assurances that he
would never attempt to approach Affghanistan.

EXCITED ORANGEMEN.

The Hanover-square Rooms have for some months
past resounded once a fortnight with the eloquence
of Mr. Edward Harper, " Grand Master of the
Orange Institution of Great Britain." Hitherto
no influential journal has thought these meetings
worth notice, but the Times, by way of shewing
what an Orange meeting is like, has
given a report of the last of these
gatherings. Mr. Harper wore an Orange
sash, so did many other persons present. There
were plentiful allusions to " the pious and immortal
memory" of William 111. (who, by the way, was so
pious that even his great admirer, Lord Macaulay,
admits that ho was an adulterer), to the " crossing of
Boyne water," and similar historical incidents, which
provoked the usual outburst of Kentish fire. Mr.
Harper attributed the levelling-up policy to Lord
Russell and Mr. Gladstone, and said that Lord
Mayo, in suggesting it, was but following out
their proposal. Ile magnified the three-quarters of
a million of Irish Protestants into doulle that
number, and upbraided the English Dissenters, who
of course, are all Jesuits in disguise, with aiding the
present bill, which has been described asthe thin
" •
end of the Popish wedge." Mr. Charley, wh
the onlyX.P. present, acei(lentallygave the Disseontwar
a very good reason for not joining with the Orange_en
men, for he said that the first thing to be done to "strike a blow at the very heart of the Li war
tionists." He declared that the majority of 1 ewra„„4
" a tyrant majority," and must be gotrsf rid ofl.lBThis-
defender of the Irish Church a tyrant
minority. He said that there were prefers
of
Protestants who thought Mr. Gladstone was was "a
traitor to his Queen, his country, and h
be would not say so merely because it waso'Z paanrd-
liamentary." There was much talk about the Act of
Union as tie bulwark of the C oustjtuturk, but no

one thought of explaining now the country got On
seventy years ago, when there was no Act of Union.
Great importance was attached to the Irish Church
as the prop of Protestantism, but no one
attempted to spew how a Church, whose chief
merit, according to Mr. Disraeli, is that
it has nothing to do with proselytising, can
advance Protestantism amid a Roman Catholic
population. Altogether the meeting was as excited,
illogical, and absurd as even Cardinal Cullen could
have wished. He ought to pay Messrs. Harper and
Charley for the skill with which they revolt all men
of common sense and common fairness. He should
also, however, insist that on a future occasion Mr.
Murphy should not be prevented, speaking. The
refusal to hear him was the only sensible proceeding
of the whole meeting, and to render future meetings
more effectual for the Cardinal's purpose, the pugi-
listic apostle should be allowed to talk as long as he
pleases.

THAMES.

EiMrGGLING.—HEATY PENALTY.—Abraham Sollefield,
the steward of the Dutch steamship Batavier, was brought
before Mr. Benson, charged with smuggling 151bs. of
foreign manufactured tobacco and 51bs. of cigars, found
secreted on board the vessel by a Custom-house officer,
named Bird.

Mr. Beverley, from the Customs' Solicitors' Office, pro-
secuted on behalf of the Crown, and said there had been a
great many cases of smuggling from the Batavier, which
traded between London and Rotterdam.

The prisoner at once pleaded guilty, and said the

Mr. Paget said all he had to do was to sentence the
prisoner to pay £lOO to the Queen, and to be imprisoned
until it was paid. He had no power of mitigation, and
any appeal for mercy must be made to the Board of
Customs.

WESTMINSTER.

DANGEIIO'US COMPANIONSHIP.-Wilii3.lll Groom was
charged with an unprovoked and violent assault upon
James Sullivan.

Complainant, a respectable-looking man, bet ween
60 and 70 years of age, said that he met with the
defendant last night, and, at his request, had
some drink with him. Finding that he was losing
his eobriety, he refused to take any more, and telling the
defendant so left the tavern at Chelsea where they had
been enjoying themselves. He had not proceeded far
when he suddenly received a violent blow in the face,
which blackened his eye and knocked him down.
The prisoner was remanded.

GERMANY.

A very significant vote has just been taken in the
Bavarian Chamber of Deputies at Munich. The Govern-
ment recently brought in a Money Bill, for the purpose
of raising nearly half a million sterling to be
devoted as an extraordinary credit to military purposes.
The bill was submitted to a commission which
recommended that instead of half a million the Chamber
should vote less than one-fourth that sum. The Chamber
has taken the advice, and has, by a vote of 63 to 52,
declared £llO,OOO to be enough for extraordinary military
purposes. The Bavarians are not disposed to have their
country transformed into a military camp.

ANOTHER AGRARIAN OUTRAGE.

Another outrage Las just taken place in Ireland.
A man named Austin M`Kea,n, with his widowed
mother and two brothers, occupied a farm at Kil-
shanny, county Clare, under Captain Crowe, a gentle-
man at present in India. Notice to quit was recently
served upon the M`lCean's, and the time having expired, the
agent, accompanied by Thomas Horan, a farmer, whose
son-in-law was the expectant tenant, set out for the place
on Monday to demand possession. The agent, a Mr.
Mahon, left Horan at his son-in-law's house close by, and
walked up to the farm alone. The widow and her sons
came out to meet him, and Austin declared that " the
land would not be given up without a life." Mr. Mahon
thus intimidated, withdrew. Austin then went towards
the house mentioned, and encountering Horan, he asked
why he had put " a rascal of an agent to take away his
land ?" Before Horan could reply, he presented a pistol
at his breast, and cried, "Take that." A bullet penetrated
Horan's clothes on the right side and struck upon the
breast bone ; thence, fortunately, •it glanced off', and the
man received only a superficial wound, though his nervous
system sustained a severe shock. M`Kean, it is stated,
proceeded to re-load his pistol, but the other found inne'
diate refuge in the house of the parish priest. The would-
be- assassin took to the woods.

The Metropolitan Street Tramways Bill is still
under the consideration of the Select Committee of the House
of Commons. Various witnesses were yesterday called
in support of it, and set forth the various advau
tages which would accrue to the public from the adoption
of a speedier, safer, and more convenient mode of locomotion
than was now adopted in the streets of the metropolis• The

SOLDIER LABOUR.

A parliamentary return has just been issued chewing
the results of the employment of soldier labour in inci-
dental repairs of barracks and on new works. The report
from Aldershot estimates that a saving of about 10
per cent. on incidental repairs up to about 50 in
new works has attended the employment of
military labour. But we are told that more superin-
tendents are required to look after the men than
if the work were performed by civilians. A saving of 39
per cent, has been made from the employment of soldiers
atl the Curragh, at Parkhurst 30 per cent., and at Wool-
wich 20 per cent. on incidentals, and 25 on new works.
As a whole, the results may be said to be satisfactory,
and the reporter at Woolwich thinks a continuance of the
system will develope its advantages in a higher degree.
At Parkhurst, the writer of the return notes that " the
hearty co-operation of all concerned is essential for the
successful employment of soldier labour."

R• HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

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 in masti-
cation.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoc?.-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
Bing William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

AN APT SCHOLAR.

Well done Serjeant Sleigh ! A very few years
ago he was an advanced Liberal, and used to
diversify his Old Bailey business with occasional
excursions to Liberal constituencies in want of a can-
did Me. No man was more proficient than he in the
whole creed of Liberalism. He had it at his fingers'
ends, could roll it off his tongue as glibly as though
he had been at politics all his life. But for some
reason or other the constituencies did not want Mr.
Sleigh. They were fitly punished by loss of office,
and the Conservatives believing in. the enterprising ad-
vocate, he offered them faithful service, and fought two
battles for them with signal ill success. Now that the
Liberals are back again at Downing-street, it might
have been expected that Mr. Sleigh would have re-
sumed his first principles. But the Conservatives were
wise in their generation, they made Mr. Sleigh a
serjeant, and thus established some sort of claim
upon this erratic politician. He has now just been
clown to Huddersfield (one of the boroughs he
vainly tried to represent), and has made
a speech of the true Constitutional kind. There
was Maynooth, and the Constitution, and the
Monarchy (in capital letters), and much talk about
pillars and bulwarks of the English Throne, and
martyrs and streams of blood, and a quotation from
" King John " by way of conclusion. In fact, the
Serjeant had got up his brief thoroughly, with one
exception. He referred to Shakespere as "the great
bard of 200 years ago." No doubt this was a poetical
license. The Serjeant thought that it was a delicate
flattery of a " pious and immortal memory " to
make the greatest of English poets a contemporary
of Dutch William.
