TIIE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

We have good news for the public in the matter
of the Bankruptcy Bill. The lawyers are frightened.
They aro going to lose their business; that is to say,
creditors will no longer be obliged to pay away an
estate in fees. "J. S. 5.," writing on behalf of his
brother solicitors to the Law Times, says : " With
regard to the letter of your correspondent ' A.,' it
certainly appears that, as far as we haveanyknowledge
of the proposed provisions of the new Bankruptcyßill,
and, I will add, the collateral Bill for the Abolition
of Imprisonment for Debt, these measures will con-
siderably diminish the business of attorneys and
solicitors who practice in bankruptcy and in common
law, and the matte r undoubtedly requires serious and
immediate consideration. . . . With regard to any
one helping us, I am of opinion we arestrong enough
to help ourselves in the only way in which there is
any chance of our being helped—namely, by any
obvious act of injustice which the measure may be
shewn to cause being averted or modified in com-
mittee." It is to be hoped for the sake of the public
that the lawyers are not strong enough to help them-
selves, for they will certainly do so at a most inordi-
nate rate.

out a snort tune succeeaea limutenant-erenerat
Stransham as InspectOr-General of the Royal Marines
when he resigned the post, somewhat to the surprise
of the public. It would seem that he was not in
good health. He had seen a good deal of service.
He joined the battalion during the Carlist
war ; he obtained a medal for his services on
the coast of Syria in 1841. He served in the
Baltic expedition in 1854-5, and received a medal
for the part he took in the capture of Sweaborg. Tic
served as brigade-major on the China expedition of
1857-8, and was at the storming of Canton, where he
was wounded. He was wounded also at the capture
of the Takoo Forts, and at the subsequent operations
which resulted in the occupation of Pekin. For
these services he obtained brevet-major, was twice
mentioned in the despatches, was made a C. 8., and
received a medal and three clasps. He was subse-
quently appointed Assistant Adjutant-General, and
then Inspector-General Royal Marines.

LAW AND POLICE.

SIDNEY SUSSEX COLLEGE.—In the Court of Chancery,
on Wednesday, an appeal was heard from a decree of
,the Master of the Rolls respecting an educational
Trust of some importance. In 1641 a gentle-
man, named Coombe, left part of his estate to
the colleges of Sidney Sussex, Cambridge, and Trinity,
Oxford, for the use and education of certain descendants of
his own and his wife's family. The Master of the Rolls
,directed an inquiry to be made as to what persons of the
testator's kindred were now in existence. It proved that
there were many descendants, but no poor kindred, and
the Master of the Rolls thereupon declared that the trust
was to provide education for the descendants at
any place, whether male or female, and in de-
fault of poor kindred, ordered a scheme to carry
out as nearly as possible the intentions of the testator.
The Lord Chancellor, however, passed the decree, saying
that it appeared to the court that the plain meaning of
the will was that the colleges should give the descendants
the benefits which they conferred upon all others who
resorted to them for instruction ; not that the gift was
intended as a trust for educating those persons at any time
or in any place, whether boys or girls. The costs would
go as directed by the court below.

THE CHANCERY AGENT.-At the Middlesex Sessions,
on Wednesday, a man named Hill, who had defrauded
great numbers of poor persons by the pretence that he
was an agent of the Court of Chancery, and had money
to pay over to them, was sentenced to five years' penal
servitude.

A BETTING SCANDAL

vA. jury trial—Hutchinson v. Gardiner—which is mit-
considerable interest in turf circles, has been com-
xaeneed in the First Division of the Court of Session,
Edinburgh, before the Lord President. The circum-
stances out of which the trial arose are these Lieu-
tenant Hutchinson and other officers of the Bth (Royal
Irish) Hussars, at present stationed at Piers-hill Barracks,
were, daring the last racing season, in the habit of making
bets nearly every day with certain" bookmakers" in Edin-
„burgh. It happened that duty in barracks sometimes
prevented their arrival in Edinburgh for the purpose of
b ting till after the races had been run, although before
the .result was known there by means of the telegraph.
On t 2. e 11th of September last Lieutenant Hutchinson,
accompanied by two brother officers—Mr. Wentworth
and Mr. Ricardo—waited on and backed with
„several bookmakers in Edinburgh different horses
for the races run at Doncaster that day. Among
other horses backed were St. Mungo and Ventnor,
for the Nursery Stakes, and the largest bets were
xnade with Mr. Gardiner, Turf Hotel. St. Mungo won the
race, and when settling day came, Gardiner refused to pay
the bets on St. Mungo. The matter was referred, at Gar
diner's request, to the stewards of Edinburgh races. It was
Alleged by Gardiner that Lieutenant Hutchinson and his
broth er.officers had learned before they betted with him that
St :\lungo had won the race, and that thus they betted on
a certainty. The stewards, after hearing evidence, decided
„against Gardiner, who appealed again to two bookmakers of
some note then at Edinburgh Races. They also decided
against him, but Gardiner refused to pay the bets, and
wrote a letter to Lieutenant Hutchinson, Mr. Wentworth,
And Mr. Ricardo, in which he alleged that he
had obtained "unquestionable evidence that they
had been holding illegal and improper collusion
with certain telegraph clerks," and that from his private
telegrams they had " surreptitiously got possession of the
,information they contained, and by that medium betted
and gained or won money" from him. This letter
reflecting seriously on the character of Lieutenant
Hutchinson as an officer and a gentleman, the present
action for defamation of character had been raised.
Damages were laid at £2,000. The jury found for the
)laintiff—damages one farthing.

THAMES.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A FOOLISH YOUNG WOMAN.—
Ellett Staploford, a young woman, was charged with
attempting to commit self-destruction by throwing her-
self into the London Dock from the badge at Old Gravel-
lane, St. George-in-the-East, on Wednesday night last.
She was with great difficulty rescued by a man who was
passing by, and who procured the drags and kept her
afloat until a boat put off. She was raised into the
boat, and carried in a state of insensibility to the
workhouse, where she remained until this morn-
ing. She appeared very ill and weak. Her
husband, who said he was a groom by occupation, had
not been in any regular situation for four years. He was
very poor, and only obtained a job now and then. He
had been quarrelling with his wife about not being able
to get any money, but he never ill-used her. The pri-
weer expressed great sorrow for what she had done, and
her landlady gave her a good character, and said she em-
ployed her for a shilling a day and her tea in making up
slops. She offered to be responsible for the future good
conduct of the prisoner. Her husband made a similar offer.
The Magistrate would not take upon himself the re-
sponsibility ofdischarging the prisoner at present, nor
would he take tail for her. Ile should remand her to the
Olerkenwell House of Detention for a week, and she would
receive the advice and attentions of the chiplain. Ho
hoped she would profit by them and come out of prison a
sadder, if not a wiser woman. She had committed a most
wicked act after a few tiumsaniug words with her hus-
band, who was, it seemed, kindly disposed towards her.

PRESBYTERIANISM IN LONDON.

The Duke of Argyll on Wednesday laid the memorial
shone of a new Presbyterian church in Camden Park-road.
It is a large and handsome building of a free kind of
Italian-Gothic architecture, and accommodating 720
worshippers, without the aid of galleries. The church is
a transplant from Caledonian-road, Islington, where the
congregation soon outgrew the limited building which
they occupied until recently. This new church, with
adjoining lecture-bail, was accordingly commenced, and
for several months past the congregation have used the
lecture-hall for their Sunday services. The total
cost will be about £B,OOO, and between £2,000, and £l,OOO
have yet to be raised. The. site has been purchased
from the Marquis of Camden for £l,OOO. The Rev. Mr.
Dinwiddie, the minister of the church, presided, and con-.
ducted some preliminary devotions. Afterwards the Rev.
Dr. Chalmers delivered an address, and a procession
escorted the Duke of Argyll to the front, where the
memorial stone was for really laid. Upon returning to the
church, his Grace addressed the congregation, expressing
the pleasure he felt in having the opportunity of seeing
the erection of a church which was destined to be the
place of worship of a large number of his fellow-country-
men. fie was not one of those who believed that one body
or form of government alone had authority in the Church
of Christ; and be frequently worshipped in the Episcopal
Church, with its beautiful and affecting Liturgy, and
could fully appreciate the advantages which, under
certain circumstances, were afforded by it. He was,
however, a loyal member of the Presbyterian Church,
loving her simple worship, and remembering her amongst
his earliest associations. He desired to see a great amount
of liberty left to each congregation, and this might be en-
joyed in perfect consistency with the spirit of Presbyte-
rianism. There was abundance of room for a church like
this, for it had been well said that there were more Scotch-
men in London than in Edinburgh. He earnestly expressed
his desire to see all branches of the Presbyterian Church
united.; so far as he knew, they were merely separated by
abstract differences upon such questions as the relations
between Church and State, whith had no practical bear-
ing upon their position in this country. A great amount
of divergence ought to be tolerated in purely speculative
opinions of that character. 'While it was gratifying in
the extreme to see the multiplication of churches in Lon-
don, it was deplorable to notice the marked absence from
public worship of the working classes. This held good,
he feared, with regard to the Scottish as well as English
churches in London, although if there was one peculiarity
more than another in Scotland, it was the universal atten-
dance of the working classes in the parish churches. In
conclusion, he wished to impress upon the ministers pre-
sent that no pulpit that did not reach the poor could be
said to fulfil the divine mission.

a. superior kind has long been the subject of experiment
with manufacturers ; but until lately no improvement
could be made on that in general use, and therefore it was
looked upon as certain that extreme excellence had been
attained ; but this conclusion did not seem satisfactory to
Mesbrs. Partridge and Cooper of Fleet-street, who deter-
Mined to continue operations until some new result was
attained. Their perseverence has been rewarded, for they
have at last been able to produeo a Lew description of
paper, which they call '• Club-house Note," and surpasses
anything of the kind in ordinary use. The new paper is
beautifully white, its eurfaco is as smooth as polished
ivory, and its substance nearly resembles that of vellum,
so that the writing thereon presents an extraordinary
cleat ness and beauty. A steel pen can be used upon it
with the facility of a goose quill, and thus one great source
of annoyance has been completely superseded. We feel
certain that a trial of the new note paper will lead to its
general adoption in all the aristocratic clubs at the West
End, as well as by the public at large, as its price is not
in excess of that charged for an inferior article.

Governor Geary, on the evening of Mareh 8,
signed the death warrants in the case of George S.
Twitchell for the murder of Mrs Mary E. Hill, and Gerald
Eaton for the murder of Timothy Heenan. Thursday,
April 8, is the day cosigned for the double execution.

EI.E^JTION NEWS.

We were right in our supposition that the invita-
tion to Mr. Whitworth and Mr. Bagehot, to become
Liberal candidates for Bridgwater, was premature.
The Attorney-General has given notice that he will
move for an address praying for the appointment of
a commission to inquire into the practices of the
borough. We should not be at all surprised to find
that the commission will have a result similar to that
which followed in the cases of Lancaster, Yarmouth,
Totnes, and Reigate.
There appears to be two Mr. Churchwards, and,
politically, they would seem to partake of the
character of the Siamese twins. Mr. Churchward,
of Dover, we all know as one of the most daring
politicians in the three kingdoms. His brother at
Pembroke seems to have offered his senior that
sincerest of all flattery—imitation. According to the
Daily Telegraph, " a memorial has been sent to the
Admiralty, praying that an inquiry shall be made
into the course taken by some of the officers of the
Pembroke Dockyard during the late contest for the
representation of that borough. Among the most
prominent offenders, it is said, is Mr. Churchward,
who was Mr. Meyrick's chairman. Mr. Meyrick was
the successful Conservative candidate.

The writs having been moved for Blackburn and
Hereford, holy Week in those two towns is being
passed amid a most undesirable excitement. The
Conservative candidates at Blackburn are Messrs.
Hornby and Feilden, the sons of the late candidates
on the Conservative side. Mr. Hornby, jun., was one
of the authors of the objectionable circular by the
millowners, urging that the employers should use
their " influence" in behalf of the " constitutional"
candidates. The Liberal candidates had not been
fixed upon on Tuesday. At Hereford Messrs. Clive
and Hoskyns are the Liberal candidates; Messrs.
Arkwright and Baggallay the Conservative.
The list of 50 odd juvenile M.P.'s who are under
30 years of age will receive an accession in the per-
son of the Earl of March, eldest son of the Duke of
Pticlimond, and who is just 24 years old. He is in
the Grenadier Guards.

The most influential supporters of Mr. Bruce in
ilenfrewshire have determined to pay the costs of
his late election, which amounts to £444. Eighteen
gentlemen subscribed £25 each, or £3 more than the
required amount.

The following is an account of a Mormon execu-
tion :—" The criminal was brought ironed into the court
yard, where there was a crowd of some four hundred, and
seated iu a chair. Ho then read aloud a chapter from the
New Testament, 1113 irons were taken off his hands, and at
signal from the sheriff he NM shot dead."

EILTERODOXY IN IMSSIA.

Dissent appears to flourish in Russia, but, judging by
the arbitrary acts of the Government, the triumph of
heresy must indeed be a triumph under difficulties. The
Russian Government is now considering a measure of
very great importance. It is proposed to abolish the
special administration of the United Greek Church and
transfer all affairs relative to this offshoot of the
orthodox Greek Church to the Ministry of Public
Instruction. The seat of the United Church, is at
Warsaw, but the measure now contemplated is not exactly
a raid against Polish liberties. It is a blow at Rome.
. The United Greeks are Christians who follow the Greek
rite, observe the general discipline of the Greek Church,
and make use of the Greek liturgy, but are nevertheless
united to the Church of Rome. They admit the supre-
macy of the Pope, and acknowledge all the deci-
sions of Rome subsequent to the Greek schism.-
They number 4,000,000 in Austria, 250,000 in
Poland, and about 80,000 in Italy. The Emean
Government has from time..._ immemorial regarded
this sect with dislike. It has been considered merely as a
Jesuit organisation for drawing the faithful Greeks into
__the arn.u_of Rome. The Emperor Nicholas made war
upon the-seet with suelPrirulence thatirulas almostdriven
out of Western Russia, took refuge in Poland, and assi-
milated its doctrines and practices nearer and nearer to
the Roman type. Poland will in all probability be no
longer a place of shelter for the United Greeks. The
Government has sought to forcibly unite it to the orthodox
Greek Church, and this placing the two branches under
one Government will all but annihilate the independence
of the lesser.

STRIKE IN SWITZERLAND.

A general strike has taken place amongst the printers of
Geneva. The malcontents are supported by the Inter-
national Association of Workmen. They have held a
meeting, at which all the twenty-five sections of the asso-
ciation were represent ed. Violent speeches were made at
this gathering, and the " Marseillaise" was sung. Riots
are apprehended.

THE FIGHTING IN SPAIN.
The insurrection at Xeres is at an end ; but, like all
Spanish street conflicts, the fighting was very severe during
its continuance. It commenced on the evening of the 17th,
and lasted at least two whole days. The troops were twice
assailed by the insurgents, who were driven back, and the
former assumed the offensive. Barricade after barricade,
to the number of twenty-three, were taken after hand-to-
hand struggles. The loss of life was great. The troops had 150
men put hors de combat, but the killed and wounded of
the insurgents were far more numerous. Six hundred of
them were taken prisoners.

THE BANKRUPTCY BILL.

We have good news for the public in the matter
of the Bankruptcy Bill. The lawyers are frightened.
They are going to lose their business; that is to say,
creditors will no longer be obliged to pay away an
estate in fees. "J. S. 5.," writing on behalf of his
brother solicitors to the Law Times, says : " With
regard to the letter of your correspondent A.,' it
certainly appears that, as far as we haveany knowledge
of the proposed provisions of the new Bankruptcyßill,
and, I will add, the collateral Bill for the Abolition
of Imprisonment for Debt, these measures will con-
siderably diminish the business of attorneys and
solicitors who practice in bankruptcy and in common
law, and the matt_ r undoubtedly requires serious and
immediate consideration. . . With regard to any
one helping us, I am of opinion we arestrong enough
to help ourselves in the only way in which there is
any chance of our being helped—namely, by any
obvious act of injustice which the measure may be
shewn to cause being averted or modified in com-
mittee." It is to be hoped for the sake of the public
that the lawyers are not strong enough to help them-
selves, for they will certainly do so at a most inordi-
nate rate.

PRESBYTERIANISM IN LONDON.

The Duke of Argyll on Wednesday laid the memorial
stone of a new Presbyterian church in Camden Park-road.
It is a large and handsome building of a free kind of
Italian-Gothic architecture, and accommodating 720
worshippers, without the aid of galleries!. The church is
a transplant from Caledonian-road, Islington, where the
congregation soon outgrew the limited building which
they occupied until recently. This new church, with
adjoining lecture-hall, was accordingly commenced, and
for several months past the congregation have used the
lecture-hall for their Sunday services. The total
cost will be about £B,OOO, and between £2,000, and £l,OOO
have yet to be raised. The site has been purchased
from the Marquis of Camden for £l,OOO. The Rev. Mr.
Dinwiddie, the minister of the church, presided, and con-
ducted some preliminary devotions. Afterwards the Rev.
Dr. Chalmers delivered an address, and a procession
escorted the Duke of Argyll to the front, where the
memorial stone was formally laid. Upon returning to the
church, his Grace addressed the ccngregation, expressing
the pleasure he felt in having the opportunity of seeing
the erection of a church which was destined to be the
place of worship of a large number of his fellow-country-
men. Ile was not one of those who believed that one body
or form of government alone had r.utherity in the Church
of Christ ; and he frequently worshipped in the Episcopal
Church, with its beautiful and affecting Liturgy, and
could fully appreciate the advantages which, under
certain circumstances, were afforded by it. lie was,
however, a loyal member of the Presbyterian Church,
loving her simple worship, and remembering her amongst
his earliest associations. He desired to see a great amount
of liberty left to each congregation, and this might be en-
joyed in perfect consistency with the spirit of Presbyte-
rianism. 'There was abundance of room for a church like
this, for it had been well said that there were more Scotch-
men in London than in Edinburgh. lle earnestly expressed
his desire to see all branches of the Presbyterian Church
united ; so far as he knew, they were merely separated by
abstract differences upon such questions as the relations
between Church and State, whith had no practical bear-
ing upon their position in this country. A great amount
of divergence ought to be tolerated in purely speculative
VangPeiLiesegillireaigitip-Milzni,oxisCrufggilinf o inn-
don, it was deplorable to notice the marked absence from
public worship of the working classes. This held good,
he feared, with regard to the Scottish as well as English
churches in London, although if there was one peculiarity
more than another in Scotland, it was the universal atten-
dance of the working classes in the parish churches. In
conclusion, he wished to impress upon the ministers pre-
sent that no pulpit that did not reach the poor could be
said to fulfil the divine mission.
