ELECTION PETITIONS.

The remarkable victory won in that most Pro-
testant of cities, Londonderry, by an advocate of dis-
establishment over a son of the then Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland, Lord Claude Hamilton, has stood the test
of the longest election inquiry which has yet been
held. Mr. Dowse has been declared duly elected.
This is the ninth member whom the Conservatives
have failed to unseat on petition ; in addition to
which they have withdrawn several other petitions.
The Liberals have failed at Lichfield and Walling-
ford. The most serious case at'present is that at Tam-
worth, where Sir Robert Peel is charged with
having debauched the constituency with drink, in the
endeavour to get his old chief, Sir Henry Bulwer,
returned, rather than his distant relative (to whom
he is more kinned than kind) Mr. John Peel.

BRADFORD POLITICS.
The split in the Liberal party at Bradford still con-
tinues. Mr. Thompson, who defeated Mr. Miall at
the election of October 18(37 (after the death of Mr.
Wickham), has consented to stand. The Radicals
decline, to accept him, and there is some prospect of
Mr. Miall being put forward for the third time.
The admiration of the public for Mr. Baron
Martin's decision in the Bradford election case is not
so general as has been supposed. The Bradford
Times complains, and the Standard echoes the com-
plaint, that substantial justice has not been done.
It is pointed out that evidence was given sheaving
that Forster's and Miall's supporters had freely dis-
tributed beer at certain houses. Agency, however,
was not established. Mr. Ripley was unseated for
treating. He, as well as Mr. Forster, was declared
to be innocent of allowing the illegal practices. Mr.
Forster is allowed to remain seated because what
was done by his vice-chairman was without his
knowledge. Why, then, it is asked, should Mr.
Ripley be unseated for doing that of which the judg-
ment declares him to be personally innocent ?
THE TELEGRAPHS BILL.

The Telegraph, in a sub-leader, assures the public
that the Government have not the least intention of
allowing the Act for the acquirement of the tele-
graphs by the State to become a dead letter.
Unavoidable delays have taken place, but the neces-
sary arbitration as to the amount to be given for the
lines is soon to be continued, and a Money Bill is
likely to be introduced this session. The Telegraph
declares that the Chancellor of the Exchequer
intends to drive a hard bargain in the interests of
the public. Both of these announcements are satis-
factory; for it would be beneath the dignity of a
Government to refuse, on account of party jealousy,
to carry out an Act passed almost unanimously; it
would be equally an evil to allow the shareholders to
carry off more money than they are entitled to haves

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER.

The Marquis of Westminster is lying at Eaton
Hall seriously out of health. His lordship, who is
probably the richest man in England, is in his 75th
year. His eldest son is Earl Grosvenor, M.P. for
Chester, who was one of the leaders of the Adul-
lamites three years ago.

women

Mr. Knox said he sympathised with Mr. Ware, as he
had no doubt that what ho complained of was a shocking
nuisance ; at the same time it was a most unpleasant
thing to deal with the prisoners.
Tho constable said some of the prisoners bad been at the
court before for causing an obstructio3 at the same place.
Mr. Knox said Mr. Ware was entitled to.the protection
of the law, at the same time it revolted against one's feel-
ings to punish such girls.
Mr. Ware said he would not mind if th 3 women would
disperse themselves, but they stood before his shop six or
seven at a time, and no respectable person could enter in
consequence of the annoyance received. He did not wish
to bo hard with the prisoners, it was with the greatest
icluctanco be appeared against them, and he had no wish
to prevent them getting a living.
Mr. Knox said ho was grieved to do anything to tho
prisoners, and if there bad been anything short of a down-
right nuisance he would have been loth to punish them ;
but Mr. Ware was entitled to protection at his hands.
Tobin would have to pay ss, or seven days, and the others
100., or seven" days, and if Mr. Ware suffered any further
annoyance and came to the Court, he (Mr. Kuox) would
see what could be done.

THAMES.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—David G'ourloch, a
youth, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with
stealing an overcoat valued at 505., from the person of
Mr. Bobert Davis, a shipmaster of 209, Salmon-lane,
Limehouse.
The prosecutor was passing along the Commercial-
road, Limebonse, with a coat across his arm yesterday
evening, and the prisoner made a snatch at the coat and
ran away with it. lle was immediately pursued, and a
cry of "Stop thief" being raised he threw the coat over the
enclosing Limehonse Church-yard.. The prisoner
was
soon afterwards stopped by the assistant relieving
railing
officer of the StopnPy Union. The coat was recovered.
Numerous witnesses made out the case against the pri-
soner, and a former conviction for felony was also proved
against him.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

SOUTH-EASTERN.

The accounts of this company for the half year ended
the 31st of January, 1869, were yesterday handed
to the auditors, subject to the consideration of the
Board and to the audit. Mr. J. Shaw, the secre-
tary, was authorised to state that the accounts
showed an available balance adequate to the pay-
ment of a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per
annum upon the ordinary stock, after providing for
all preference charges, and leaving a balance to be
carried forward or otherwise dealt with as the pro-
prietors might decide.

SILK SUPPLY ASSOCIATION.

Some gentlemen interested in the trade have pro-
posed to form a Silk Supply Association on a basis
similar to that of the Cotton Supply Association.
The principal object is to stimulate the production of
silk in every country where the mulberry-tree sup-
plies the necessary food for the silkworms, and
especially in those districts of India where the culti-
vation of the silkworm has almost ceased, notwith-
standing special natural advantages for its propagation.
The association also proposes to encourage the pro-
duction of the best kind of silkworms, and to obtain
the aid of the British representatives abroad in
promoting and extending. the cultivati,

.on of silk.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE EASTERN DIFFICULTT.

The state of affairs in Greece must for the present be
given up as wholly incomprehensible. " Positive informa•
tion" that the crisis is at an end, and that the declaration
has been accepted, reaches London and Vienna in abund•
ance ; but at Paris the most complete ignorance prevailed
up to Wednesday evening. No communication had been
received from Athens for forty-eight hours. The Morning
Post, which gives intelligence that small bands of Greeks
have broken into Epirus and Thessaly, firmly believes
nevertheless, in the triumph of diplomacy.
As in all times of doubt or difficulty, the old alarmist
rumours are reviving. A project of alliance between
France, Austria, and Italy Was published first in the
Journal du Havre, and has reappeared in a more definite
form in several papers, notably the Journal de Paris. Of
course, a general distribution of spoil on the Rhine, in the
Tyrol, Silesia, and on the Danube, are the objects of this
scheme. It appears to have been brought to life by the
single fact that the telegraphic wires between Vienna,
Paris, and Florence are at present incessantly worked by
the diplomatists. On the other side, it is noticed that the
Prince of Montenegro, who has just paid a visit to St.
Petersburg, met with a brilliant reception from the Czar,
who, not satisfied with the ordinary measure of courtesy,
sent his aide-de-camp to accompany the Prince to Berlin.

THE WEATHER.

Lord Frederick Cavendish writes from Eastbourne
that his thermometer rose at two o'clock on Satur-
day to 80 in the sun. In Yorkshire the farmers are
crying out terribly. They say that during a whole
year past the weather has been entirely wrong. A
remarkably mild winter in 1807-08, followed by an
open spring, a blazing summer of five months, a
rainfall greatly below the average for the first nine
months, and very much above it for the last
three months, giving nearly a total average, were the
great features of 1808. The temperature of May was
hotter than June, which, though hot, was exceeded
by July. Strangely, the August temperature, though
high, was not so high as that of September. June, usually
wet, was drier than July, which, generally wettest,
was driest of all; and it was not till December the
flood waters fell. These results have caused a most
abnormal state of things, and the great fear now is
that spring frosts and a low temperature may undo
all benefit that has hitherto accrued to the country.
During the winter there have been only five nights
of frost, the lowest temperature registered being
25.50 deg. Cabbage and brocoli are running to
seed, potatoes have grown to a solid mass in the pits,
the fruit-trees are out in blossom, the turnips have
rotted, and the wheat is "proud."

CUMBERLAND.

Mr. Disraeli's Government did not forget to reward
its supporters, and the late Premier exercised his
power up to, and eTen after, his resignation. 'There
were, it is currently reported, a very large number
of lesser appointments made after " the inter-
view " with her Majesty, and while prepara-
tions were being made to " turn out." But the one
which attracted the most notice was the appointment
of Mr. henry Lowther to the Lord-Lieutenancy of
Westmoreland and Cumberland. The union of two
counties is unusual and objectionable. Mr. Lowther's
great zeal in the Conservative cause has made him
objectionable to his political opponents, and a stand-
ing resolution of thellouse of Commons rules that "It
is a high infringement of the liberties and privileges
of the Commons of Great Britain for any lord of
Parliament, or any lord-lieutenant of any county, to
concern themselves in the election of members to
serve for the Commons in Parliament." Moreover,
the appointment had all the savour of a private
arrangement between the Earl of Lonsdale, who
suddenly resigned, and the late Government ; the
Earl wishing to keep the Lord-Lieutenancy in his
family. A petition setting forth these facts has been
presented to Parliament asking for inquiry into the
matter.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS IN PRISONS•

The Aldermen of the City of London have again
considered the question of Roman Catholic Chaplains
in gaols. It will be remembered that the question
was referred to the Gaol Committee to consider and
report upon. But that was too much for. the
Protestantism of some of the aldermen, and notice
was given of a motion rescinding that reference.
This motion, coming up on Tuesday, was passed by a
majority of l 0 to i. And so the City of London
prisoners who won't hear the Protestant chaplain are
to be preserved against such advice as the " emis-
saries of the Papal Church" might give. Only that
advice might lead to their reformation.
The Town Council of Liverpool have also had a
similar subject under discussion. There is an immense
number of Roman Catholics in the Liverpool work-
house ; but the representatives of the " worthy
burgesses " are afraid of paying a priest to attend
them. An attempt was made on Monday to appoint
a Roman Catholic chaplain, but it failed, the Council
passing a resolution in favour of the voluntary
system by 14 to 9.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS IN PRISONS.

The Aldermen of the City of London have again
considered the question of Roman Catholic Chaplains
in gaols. It will be remembered that the question
was referred to the Gaol Committee to consider and
report upon. But that was too much for the
Protestantism of some of the aldermen, and notice
was given of a motion rescinding that reference.
This motion, coming up on Tuesday, was passed by a
majority of 10 to 5. And so the City of London
prisoners who won't hear the Protestant chaplain are
to be preserved against such advice as the " emis-
saries of the Papal Church " might give. Only that
advice might lead to their reformation.

The Town Council of Liverpool have also had a
similar subject under discussion. There is an immense
number of Boman Catholics in the Liverpool work-
house ; but the representatives of the " v,-orrhy
burgesses " are afraid of paying a priest to attead
them. An attempt was made on Monday to appoint
a Roman Catholic chaplain, but it failed, the Council
passing a resolution in favour of the voluntary
system by 14 to 9.

INDIA.

At the great banquet given at Calcutta on the 11th of
January, Sir John Lawrence once more enjoined tho
policy of non-interference in Central Asia. The opposite
course, ho urged, would almost certainly lead to war,
impoverish the country, and involve a fresh burden of
debt. On the western frontier we ought to be strong and
ready, but not go beyond it. Our true policy is to con-
solidate Pritish power within the national boundary of
the hills, to organise an economical but efficient Adminis-
tration and to give the people of India the best possible
gOvernment.

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA.

The news from Cuba is more unfavourable to the
Spanish cause. The insurgents captured Puerto Principe
on the same day that Count Valmaseda, their chief general,
entered Bayamo. At Havanna a reign of terror exists.
Not only has General Dulce to contend with tho
Cubans, but also with the Spanish volunteers them-
selves, whose excesses he is unable to control. The
intense hatred between the Cuban and Spanish factions in
Havanna has at length merged into open hostility.
Murders are committed every night. The Cubans fire
from the housetops upon the volunteers and soldiers passing
through the streets, and the military retaliate by entering
the houses and indiscriminately massacring the inmates.
New York advices report that the newly-recruited volun-
teers provoke the resistance of the veople, and then fire
upon them indiscriminately.

UTILISATION OF PAUPERISM.

A West-end London Poor-law Guardian suggests
that paupers should made to produce all requisites
for pauper maintenance and pauper use. Ile would
open workshops at which the paupers should be
employed at the various trades to which they have
been brought up. These shops might be provided
by obtaining the use of some of the vacant railway
arches with which London abounds. "At
these shops let there be produced the neces-
saries revired for carrying on the workhouses, and
let there be at Lind also such labour, sltilled
and other, as may be requisite to do the necessary
repairs of workhouses. It may happen one union
would occasionally suffer from a dearth of labourers
of some sort, while a neighbouring workhouse would
have a superfluity ; an interchange of such labour
could easily be arranged and be paid for upon a scale

NAVAL AND MILI7ARY INTELLIGENCE.

On the breaking up of the Woolwich Division of
Royal Marine Light Infantry, au order was received
from the Admiralty at Chatham directing nine of
the companies at Woolwich to be attached to the
Chatham Division, the remainder being divided
between Portsmouth and Plymouth, the former
having six additional companies and the latter
ten. At present there are 25 companies attached
to the Chatham Division, five of which are to be
absorbed by the other companies, leaving four
additional companies to be attached to the Ist
Division. A number of workmen are now em-
ployed in removing the block of buildings at the
Royal Marine barracks formerly occupied by the
subalterns, and used for pay-offices and grand
divisional offices, preparatory to enlarging the
parade-ground to accommodate the additional num-
ber of officers and men who are to be quartered at
Chatham. _ _ .

One of the two caissons to be attached to the
Bermuda Dock was launched yesterday from the
iron shipbuilding yard of Messrs. Campbell and
Johnstone, of North Woolwich, who had the execu-
tion of the Admiralty contract for the dock, suc-
cessfully completed in August last. The caisson
will be taken into the basin at Woolwich dock-
yard to receive ballast, and when the other is ready,
which in all probability will be let off the slip in a
day or two, they will be taken down the river to
Sheerness, where the Bermuda Dock still lies.
It was yesterday announced at Chatham that 11
second-captains of Royal Marine Light Infantry are
to :be at once placed on half-pay, a corresponding
reduction being, at the same time, made in the
other officers of the corps.
The annual distribution of medals and gratuities
by the Admiralty to the nou-commissioned officers
and men of the Royal Marine Light Infantry at
Chatham, for long service and exemplary conduct,
has been made at the divisional head-quarters. The
following were the non-commissioned officers and
privates to whom silver medals and gratuities
were presented :—Colour-Sergeant Michael Manser
and Armourer-Sergeant Thomas L. Lilley, each a
medal and gratuity of £lO ; Sergeant John Matson,
Pay-Sergeant Henry Kilby, Drummer Wm. Rose,
and Private John Willis, each a medal and gratuity
of £5. The following non-commissioned officers of
the Chatham division were at the same time awarded
medals, without gratuities :—Colour-Sergt. Richard
Magee, Colour-Sergeant Joseph Peeks, and Ser-
geant John Elliott. The medals were presented at
