MARK-LANE.The market this morning is very dull et declining

their offers from Is to 2s per quarter; but factors are
scarcely disposed to accept the reduction.

We have a large supply of beasts, and the sudden change

LAIIBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the beat 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 suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN.

On Friday afternoon a meeting of the Catholic
clergy and laity was held at Willis's Rooms to con-
sider the question of the Roman Catholic children
in English workhouses. The chair was occu-
pied by Archbishop Manning, who made an inte-
resting speech. Ile desired to point out
the existence of an evil in the case of the children in
the workhouses who were being brought up in the
Protestant faith against the wishes of their parents.
There were now upwards of a thousand children so
situated in the workhouses within the Metropolitan
district. The President of the Poor-law Board had acted
in the most fair spirit in the matter, and in a short
time four hundred of these children would be removed
to Catholic schools certified by the Poor Law. The
Archbishop called upon the meeting to provide the
means of forming more of these schools. Some
resolutions were passed to the effect that vigorous
efforts should be made to transfer the children to
schools of their own denomination, and that care
should be taken to provide sufficient accommodation
for all those who required it.

YOUNG SELF-311IRDERElt S.

Suicide is no longer confined to the old. Weari-
ness of life seems to come very early now-a-days.
The juvenile burglar, the young forger, and the
infant homicide have become so common as to be
hardly subjects of wonder. Their deeds have
been glorified in romances ; they are handed
clown to the coming generation as examples
of bravery and pluck. Why, then, should
there not be the juvenile
.felo de se? Whatever
reasons there are for not having him, there can be
no doubt that we have got him, and the class to
which he belongs seems to be increasing amongst us.
Only the other day a boy who did not have his
dinner just at the proper time first nagged with his
mother until she spoke sharply to him, and
then went and hanged himself. Shortly
after this the papers told the story of a girl, some
11 or 12 years of age, who was forbidden to go
sweethearting with the lads in the town. She deter-
mined that love's young dream and her life should
end together; and so went and drowned herself.
Now we have quite as sad a story of two servant-
girls, of Easiugwold, one 14 and the other 13.
After church on Sunday night they had a walk with
the " lover "of one of them. They were found a day
or two afterwards in a pond in the neighbourhood.
They had repeatedly, we are told, threatened to
commit suicide, and on the very day of the
occurrence had declared, sadly, that they
would never be at church again. A ver-
dict in their case has been returned of felo de se.
Is not the newspaper press itself to some extent
chargeable with being the cause of these sad affairs ?
By continually having presented to it what is being
constantly done, must not young minds—especially
where not properly balanced by good home training
—become impressed with the possibility of going and
doing likewise ?

ARMY AND NAVY ITEMS.

The Broad Arrow states that the " heroic efforts"
of the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary
of State for War are still being continued in the
direction of reductions both at Somerset House and
at Pall Mall, although the final arrangements have not
yet been promulgated. The same paper complains that
the Military Train is still in a state of suspense
as to its fate. The warrant sealing the doom of this
corps is known to have been in the hands of the
printers three weeks ago, yet the corps still appears
in the April Army List, and officers are unable to
exchange or to sell. The blame is attributed to
the military officials at the War Office. The Army
and Nary Gazette says the channel squadron may be
expected in England about May 3. The same paper
mentions that Dr. Bryson will, on his retirement, be
created a K.C.8., and complains that " a vein of
interest is running through many of the present
Admiralty appointments," and is manifested in the
appointment of Captain Hopkins as flag captain of
the Flying Squadron.

PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS.

The first order for the day this evening is the considers'
tion, in committee, of Mr. Lowe's Budget ; after which'
if there is time, Mr. Cardwell will try to get some rote'
granted for the army. When the House reaches this point
Mr. Banbury Tracey, Lord Elcho, Captain F. Beaumont'
Sir James Elphinstone, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Sir,
Henry Hoare, Mr. J. D. Lewis, and Mr. O'Reilly 'PI'
each bring forward some special grievance of their or?
concerning the modus operandi by which the armY
governed. Mr. J. B. Smith intends to ask the First Lora
of the Treasury whether there is any prospect of the
metric system of weights and measures coming into opera'
tion ; and Sir Massey Lopes will inquire of Mr. Gladstone
whether his attention has been drawn to the expediend
of making some adequate provision for the retirement of
bishops who have attained an advanced age.
The adjourned debate on the Libel Bill will be resumed
to-morrow evening, and, curiously enough, the adjourned
debate on the motion to reduce the fire-insurance duty to
6d. is also fixed to come on. Of course, after the proposal
of Mr. Lowe to repeal the duty altogether, the motion of
Mr. Sheridan will be withdrawn. Mr. P. A. Taylor
will call the attention of the Home Secretor,'
to the ease of three children being convicted
for stealing rape greens at Salisbury. Mr. Tre'
velyan has given notice to bring in a bill to make
better provision respecting Greenwich Hospital ; and 10
Goldney intends to introduce a bill to amend the WI
relating to the appointment of county coroners.
Two bills which are down for second reading on Wed:
nesday are likely to be stoutly opposed. The Morrie('
Women's Property Bill will meet with the strenuoi,
opposition of Mr. Lope; the member for Launceston, wlic
will move that it be read a second time on that day ail
months. Mr. Raikes will try to shelve the Burial°
Regulation Bill by moving a similar amendment. 10
Thomas Hughes's Sunday Trading Bill is fixed for coin'
mittee, but Mr. Brady intends to suggest that it shall not
go so far as that stage, and will propose a motion to 410 t
effect,

The Irish Church Bill comes on for consideration 013
Thursday, when Mr. Gladstone will move that it be cOI
mitted. Mr. Newdegate has an adverse amendment on
the paper, but it is doubtful whether the hon. member
for North Warwickshire will persist in dividing 00
House on the question. Mr. Sinclair Aytoun's "
tion " is likely to give rise to a short debate, and probabli
a division. When the House gets into committee, several
amendments will be moved by Sir Geprge Jenkinson,
Charley and others.
The most important " order " for Friday, is the second
reading of the Trades Union Bill, and the Valuation of
Property Bill is also fixed for that stage. Sir George
Jenkinson has given notice that on this evening he Will
ask the First Lord of the Treasury a question relating t°
local taxation.

THE SPANISH CROWN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Indipendance Berge
states that previous to making inquiry whether Dom
Fernando would accept the crown, the Spanish Ministers
sought to learn the opinion of the National Chamber.
Each Minister assembled twenty or thirty deputies at his
residence and laid the situation before them. The con-
dition of Spain necessitated an immediate solution of the
candidature problem : would they vote for Dom Fernando!
The canvass, it seems, was not remarkably successful.
In spite of this personal application, seconded by the
efforts of Senor Olozaga, no more than 111 members of the
Cortes were found favourable to the Portuguese Prince.
Eight only pronounced for Espartero. Add to these
the fifty-seven Republicans, and the total is 176, which
leaves 154 who support the Duke of Montpensier's
It is thought that the Cuban deputies will also be parti-
sans of the Duke. The Spectator stigmatises the new Con-
stitution as a fraud. It is contrived for the express pur-
pose of giving the King of Spain a position similar to the
King of Prussia.

THE ELECTIONS IN ROUMANIA.

The other day we published a telegram announcing
that the Ministerialists were winning the Roumanian
elections. Further intelligence now arrives to the effect
that the Opposition, Bratiano's party, has attempted to
provoke popular tumults. The majority of the electors,
however, have remained faithful to the ause of order.
The Opposition has elected some of its leaders, but the
Government is gaining a strong majority. This result is
of some importance, for the Opposition is the reactionary
party, while the Ministerialists support a policy of peace.
Beyond doubt the party in power hocusses all these
Eastern elections, and invariably contrives to get a majo-
rity ; but the result in this instance is not the less
satisfactory.

LITERARY. An interesting feature of the
"Griffith Gaunt trial" in New York was Mr. Reade's ac-
count of how his novel "White Lies" came to be written.
A. Maquet, a Frenchman, had written a play, " Chateau
de Gautier," which Mr. Reade purchased with a view of
translating and producing it in England. He was to pay
£4O for this right, but it was stipulated that if he failed
to have it accepted, .£2O should be refunded. Failing to
have it performed, this condition was complied with ; but
Mr. Reade, not to loso the labour already bestowed upon
it, then determined to use the Flot and incidents, con-
structing a story, but before doing this he sent back the
£2O to Magnet. After the novel was published, Magnet
wrote Mr. Reade a letter acknowledging his fairness and
honourable dealing. Owing to the copyright law then
existing between France and England he could not ac-
knowledge his indebtedness to Maquet for the plot and
incidents without losing his own copyright, but as soon
as the law was changed he fully explained the whole

POLLING PLACES.

A correspondent of the Morning Post hopes that
the committee now sitting to inquire into the mode
of conducting elections will direct its attention to
the need which exists for a greater number of
polling places. Voters in boroughs have always a
polling place within easy reach, while voters
in rural districts have perhaps six or eight
miles to travel. The carrying of voters is prohibited
in boroughs, and ought not to be allowed in counties.
This reformer thinks that every parish should have a
polling place, and he suggests that the largest school-
room might be used for the day. The carrying of
•voters exposes all parties to suspicion, and the con-
gregation of men from different localities at one
place leads to riot and disorder. Those who live at
a great distance, and who now come by rail, might
have voting papers sent to them. By these means
some of the evils of the present system might be
modified, if not altogether removed.

ARMY AND NAVY ITEMS.

The Broad Arrow states that the " heroic efforts "
of the First Lord of the Admiralty and the Secretary
of State for War are still being continued in the
direction of reductions both at Somerset House and
at Pall Mall, although the final arrangements have not
yet been promulgated. The same paper complains that
the Military Tram is still m a state of suspense
as to its fate. The warrant sealing the doom of this
corps is known to have been in the hands of the
printers three weeks ago, yet the corps still appears
in the April Army List, and officers are unable to
exchange or to sell. The blame is attributed to
the military officials at the War Office. The Army
and Navy Gazette says the channel squadron may be
expected in England about May 3. The same paper
mentions that Dr. Bryson will, on his retirement, be
created a K.C.8., and complains that " a vein of
interest is running through many of the present
Admiralty appointments," and is manifested in the
appointment of Captain Hopkins as flag captain of
the Flying Squadron.

ECCLESIASTICAL ITEMS.

The John Bull says that the Irish archbishops
nave been over in England this week. It is thought
that at a conference on the 13th, a standing com-
mittee will be adopted." The same paper states
that an arrangement has been made between
the Episcopal Bench and the Earl of Shaftes-
bury, whereby his bill and that of the Primate's
on the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts will
be referred to a select committee. We learn
also that Mr. Raikes will move the rejection of
the Dissenters' Burial Bill on Wednesday ; and that
the Ritual Commission have got nearly through the
book of Genesis in their revision of the Lectionary,
and have recommended the omission of the 34th
chapter, which relates the story of Dinah,

APPOENTMENTS.

The Gazette announces that Mr. F. A. Weld has
been appointed Governor of Western Australia, and
Mr. W. A. Parker, Chief Justice of St. Helena. Mr.
Homersham Cox is rewarded for his very clever
history of the last Reform Bill, which was so favour-
able to Mr. Gladstone, by being appointed one of
the commissioners to inquire into the electoral mis-
conduct of Beverley.

ROBBERY AT A DRUGGISTS.—Two rough, dirty-looking
fellows, named Hare and Lewis, were charged before Mr.
Mansfield with the following robbery :
__

Mr. Knopton, eheesemonger, of Upper Marylebone-
street, said that yesterday afternoon while at one of the
upstair windows of his house he saw Lewis go into a drug-
gist's shop opposite and take a bottle off a shelf and place
it under his coat and leave. Directly after Lewis showed
Hare the bottle and then put it into his pocket. lie after-
wards went after the prisoners, and gave them in charge
while they were begging of a publican's wife.
Mr. Georgo Gabble, manager to a druggist in Howland-
street, proved missing a large bottle of ground ginger.
lliscoelf, o 1 E, said that on the way to the station Lewis
threw away the bottle, which was broken. On searching
Lewis he found a lair of new kid gloves.
Lewis said they were Ills own, and ho bought them
yesterday.

The Constable slid the gloves were boys.
Mr. Mausfield supposed the prisoner bought them for
some lady of his acquaintance. (Laughter.) The pri-
soners would be committed for three months each with
hard labour.

THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

There is much speculation about the Conservative
meeting which takes place to-day at Lord Lons-
dale's. The John Bull says thatmany of the party are
in favour of opposing the Irish Church Bill clause by
clause ; but probably the most serious division will
be on the glebe lands. Another account states that
Mr. Disraeli and other members of the party
have taken up the line laid down by
Sir Roundell Palmer, and that these enter-
tain the faint hope that with the help of some of
the Liberals "they- may embarrass the progress of
Bollnded as to taking

A CONSERVATIVE POLICY FOR IRELAND.
The Standard publishes from a correspondent,
who does not agree with the Irish Church Bill of
the Government, a policy which should be rpursued
towards Ireland instead of one interfering with
ecclesiastical affairs.
First, he demands a royal
residence. That, doubtless, ought to have been
obtained long ago,

makes a claim for capital, the spending of Govern-

ANOTRER STRIKE IN ME COTTON TRADE.

The depression in the cotton trade is bearing most
disastrous fruit. Not only are masters being pnt
into straits, but the operatives, by striking, are
impoverishing- themselves. The strike is spreading
beyond Preston. The masters of Chorley and
the surrounding neighbourhood have given notice
of a reduction of from 21 to 20 per cent. or
different kinds of work, and the men have determined
to resist. The masters were prevailed upon to so
modify their original announcement as to make it a
5 per cent, reduction all round, but the men will
agree only to 24. Nearly 1,000 people are likely to
be thrown out of employment..

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHILDREN.

On Friday afternoon a meeting of the Catholic
clergy and laity was held at Willis's Rooms to con-
sider the question of the Roman Catholic children
in English workhouses. The chair was occu-
pied by Archbishop Manning, who made an inte-
resting speech. lie desired to point out
the existence of an evil in the case of the children in
the workhouses who were being brought up in the
Protestant faith against the wishes of their parents.
There were now upwards of a thousand children so
situated in the workhouses within the Metropolitan
district. The President of the Poor-law Board had acted
in the most fair spirit in the matter, and in a short
time four hundred of these children would be removed
to Catholic schools certified by the Poor Law. The
Archbishop called upon the meeting to provide the
means of forming more of these schools. Some
resolutions were passed to the effect that vigorous
efforts should be made to transfer the children to
schools of their own denomination, and that care
should be taken to provide sufficient accommodation
for all those who required it.

YOUNG SELF-MURDERERS.

Suicide is no longer confined to the old. Weari-
ness of life seems to come very
early now-a-days.
The juvenile burglar, the young forger, and the
infant homicide have become so common as to be
hardly subjects of wonder. Their deeds have
been glorified in romances ; they are handed
down to the coming generation as examples
of bravery and pluck. Why, then, should
there not be the juvenile felo de se? Whatever
reasons there are for not having him, there can be
no doubt that we have got him, and the class to
which he belongs seems to be increasing amongst us.
Only the other day a boy who did not have his
dinner just at the proper time first nagged with his
mother until she
spoke sharply to him, and
then went and hanged himself. Shortly
after this the papers told the story of a girl, some
11 or 12 years of age, who was forbidden to go
sweethearting with the lads in the town. She deter-
mined that love's young dream and her life should
end together; and so went -and drowned herself.
Now we have quite as sad a story of two servant-
girls, of Easmgwold, one 14 and the other 13.
After church on Sunday night they had a walk with
the " lover" of one of them. They were found a day
or two afterwards in a pond in the neighbourhood.
They had repeatedly, we are told, threatened to
commit suicide, and on the very day of the
occurrence had declared, sadly, that they,
would never be at church again. A ver-
dict in their case has been returned of felo de se.
Is not the newspaper press itself to some extent
ehargelble with being the cause of these sad affairs?
By continually having presented to it what is being
constantly done, must not young minds—especially
where not properly balanced by good home training
—become impressed with the possibility of going and
doing likewise ?

REPUBLICAN MOVEMENTS IN ITALY.

Our Florence correspondent states that several non-
commissioned officers of the Italian army have been
arrested, and that some of the barracks have been minutely
searched. Considerable Republican disaffection is pre-
valent in the army. A serious outbreak is not appre-
hended, but it is well known that the Republican leaders
aro actively working, and waiting their opportunity.
