THE REDUCTIONS.

Reductions are still being carried out. The Times
announces important reforms at Portsmouth,
reforms which have long been called for, and will
be cavilled at by few. They comprise the abolition
of the offices of the Admiral-Superintendent of
the dockyard, the Captain-Superintendent of the
Naval Hospital at Haslar, and of the Royal
Clarence Victualling-yard ; of the Master-Attendant
at the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard ; of one out
of the two offices of Master-Attendant at the
dockyard • the substitution of the three-decked ship
Duke of W.ellington for the three ships now employed
in the harbour duties the Victory, Duke of
Wellington, and Asia; and a general reduction in
all military and civil expenditure on all matters in
the port that have to be provided for in the Navy
Estimates. How such absurd arrangements as now
exist could have been made, or how they could
be so long toleritted, puzzles one not a little.
What, for instance, was the use of putting a sailor,
an admiral, superintendent over a factory, except for
the purpose of giving him a little education, so that
he might give information to his brethren across the
walnuts and wine ? For what reason was a captain
placed over a purely medical department ? And
how possibly could any bright • genius have fixed
upon a high salary, ditto position; as the proper
remuneration for looking after a small steamer and
a few small sailing lighters, who are appointed to
carry stores to ships ?

LAhvEßTlSEMENT.l—llelloway'B Ointment and rills.—
Uniform Success.—lt is highly consolatory to reflect upon
the important inventions for the relief of suffering hu-
manity which have conferred nobility on the nineteenth
century. These remedies stand unrivalled for the cure of
gout, rheumatism, lumbago, tic- doloreux, and every other
variety of neuralgic pain. The painful places have only
to be bathed in tepid salt and water and well rubbed with
Holloway's ointment to convince the most sceptical of the
curative power it exercises over these diseases. The most
desper4s cases, whether chronic or acute, best exemplify
the striking success which follows the proper use of this
soothing ointment and these purifying pills. Both medi-
caments are composed of the most illLwieUOUB and healing
balsams.

THE LORD MAYOR'S DECISION—(Tms DAY.)
The intimation of the Lord Mayor, who has presided
daring this long and exciting investigation, that he would
give his decision this day, caused the different entrances
of the Court of Queen's Bench, Guildhall,;to be besieged by
thousands of persons anxious to gain admission. The
Court was opened about half-past 12, when a tremendous
rush took p'ace, and in a few minutes it became crowded
to excess. Notwithstanding the fact being intimated to
the crowd outside VIA the Court was full, hundreds of
persons remained incredulous, and continued to completely
block up the various entrances, in the hope of chance
giving them admission previous to his lordship giving his
decision.

On the bench were Aldermen Sir W. Carden, Sir F. G.
Moon, Sir B. Phillips, W. Lawrence, Caslin, Besley, and
Cotton, and at ten minutes past one his lodship entered
the court in company with Sir T. Gabriel, at which time
the greatest excitement prevailed.
The whole of the defendants having taken their places
before his lordship,
Mr. Oke proceeded to read over the various depositions,
which will occupy the court for three or four hours.
We shall give the result in our late edition.

REMARKS.

Since last evening barometrical pressure has recovered somewirat in
the north from the sudden depression of yesterday afternoon ; but a
decrease of similar nature has occurred in the west, the reading
at Valencia being o'44in. lower than it was yesterday. Pressure is
now least at Valencia, where the reading is o's2in. lower than that at
Cape ( ris Nez. Temperature has risen a little generally, except at
some of our S. and S.E. stations. During the night a southerly gale
appears to have commenced in the south of Ireland, and winds there
continue strong from S. this morning, and fresh in the Irish Channel.
On our east coast the winds are light from W. ; in Scotland light,
and generally south-westerly : and on the west coast of France they
are moderate from the south-eastward. A little rain has fallen in
the N. and W. The sky this morning is cloudy or overcast, with fog
and mist in the east. The sea is high at Valencia. Warnings to
west coast.

The statement that Mr. William Roupell, the ex-
M.P. for Lambeth, had been liberated from prison in cones
quence of the state of his health is denied by a London cor-
respondent. Mr. Roupell is still in prison ; but is in a very
bad state of health, and a memorial on his behalf has been
presented to the Home Secretary, which is now under con-
sideration.

In spite of the extreme cold of the last two or
three days, an immense crowd,such, says the Independance
Beige, as to defy description, gathered together at
Laeken on Monday mornin; to witness the funeral of
the Prince Royal of Belgium. The multitude was, in fact,
so great that but few witnesd the spectacle, the short
distance from the royal chateau to the parish church of
Laeken permitting but a portion of the spectators to
arrange themselves by the way; the great majority was
shut out. The coffin of the child was in ebony,
with a silver crucifix, and ha4l been deposited
in a mortuary chapel in the chateau. Of course
all the dignitaries and functionaries of Belgium
were present at the ceremony. The Archbishop of Ma.
lines and several of the Belgian bishops took part in the
last rites. As chief mourners came the King and his
brother, the Count of Flanders, clad in the uniforms of
lieutenant.gPnerals. All the houses in Laeken were clad
in black, and incense was burned at the windows.
The imposing spectacle was the outward manifestation
of a nation's grief. The funeral cortege entered the church
at a few minutes after twelve; byhalf•pup OAQ th 4. Mc!

BARRACK CONTRACTS
For the Supply of

COALS, COKE, TURF, CANDLES, AND KINDLING WOOD
IN GREAT BRITAIN.
WAR OFFICE, PALL-MALL, LONDON, S.W.,
21st January, 1869.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That the
.11 SECRETARY of STATE for WAR is prepared to receive

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 27, 1839.

AUSTRIA.

In view of another severe legislative struggle, the Aus-
trian Government has strengthened its party in the
Chamber where the greatest opposition may be ex-
pected. Seventy new peers have been created, all refor-
mers, and all of course on the side of the Ministry.
Their aid will be wanted. Two new laws are expected to
give great trouble : one ordaining that press prosecutions
shall be tried by a jury; the other abolishing all restric-
tions upon marriage, and especially restrictions of rank or
religion. , Civil marriage is compulsory, but it may be
followed by a religious ceremony. The Prussians seem to
have been roused in some degree by the impetuous
progress of the hitherto dilatory Austrians. The Berlin
Chamber of Deputies has adopted a law abolishing the old
statutes which still prevent marriage between nobles and
commoners. This measure has to get through the Upper
House—decidedly a process dangerous to its existence.

SPAIN.

Pending the official report of the elections, the news
from Spain is all rumour. The Times correspondent
announces by telegraph that the long-expected decree estab-
lishing religious freedom and a free Church in a free State
will be shortly published. This important resolution
seems to have caused infinite disturbance in the Peninsula.
There has been a panic on the Stock Exchange;
apprehensions of dissension in the Cabinet and of some
sudden resolution on the part of the Government prevail;
and it is rumoured that the Papal Nuncio will be dismissed.
All which, with other signs, goes to prove that the down-
fall of the Catholic Establishment under an unsettled
form of government will be attended with very serious
results.

A correspondent of the Liberte writes more cheerfully.
He says that a great combination has been formed. Many
Progressists, Republicans, and Democrats have agreed to
bury the hatchet and unite for the good of their country.
The existing uncertainty is so ruinous that it must be ter-
minated at any price. Neither Marshal Prim nor Rivero
is a stranger to this noble determination. As to the pro-
gramme of the Alliance, the writer will endeavour to
"announce it in his next." Such combinations have often
been announced before, but as so many parties are strongly
represented in the Cortes—indeed the union of any two of
the three strongest would overpower the third—it is quite
possible that the more kindred politicians may seek
strength in union.

THE HOME SECRETARY ON GENERAL AFFAIRS.

Mr. Bruce will hardly fail in his office from want
of appreciation of the duties before him. He certainly
sees the task which he has to perform, and this is
one very important step towards its performance.
His idea of the Home Office is, not that it is a place
of mere routine, but he boldly grasps the fact
that there are great difficulties to be over-
come, and that it is his duty to overcome
them. In returning thanks for his election
for Benfrewshire, on Monday afternoon, he said that
on himself there devolved the urgent task of dealing
with the criminal classes and rescuing the innocent
and young from temptation. His task was to put a
mark on the class of men who might be called habi-
tual criminals, though as yetunconvicted, to put them
under supervision and limit their operations. Here came
the difficult problem, never yet solved, how should you
bring home to a man the fact that he is an habitual
criminal without being able to bring home to him
the fact that he has committed a crime ? It would be
his (Mr. Bruce's) duty to present to Parliament a
measure on that subject. This certainly is good
news for all who live " decent quiet lives ;" it is very
bad news for the criminal.
London, England, 1869-01-27

ME. EDWARDS.

The Times, which did its utmost to prevent the
prosecution of Overend, Gurney, and Co., now admits
that the extraordinary revelations of Friday and
Saturday have " amply justified" that prosecution.
Our contemporary, in one of its happiest articles,
describes the many parts played by that most versa-
tile of geniuses, Mr. Edward Watkin Edwards. He
is official assignee in the Bankruptcy Court ; he is
engaged in transactions with the firm of Overend
and Gurney, with a single partner of the firm,
with the customers of the firm, with his own
customers, all which transactions it is of course
his duty to keep perfectly disentangled, and
to prevent their exerting any influence
upon each other. And all this is undertaken
by a • gentleman who has " a very bad memory as
to dates," and Ends it hard to recall amounts which
are reckoned by hundreds of thousands. While the
Times is sarcastic, the Daily News is grave. Speaking
in the highest terms of the care and patience exer-
cised by the Lord Mayor and Sir Thomas Gabriel,
our contemporary says : "They have turned Mr.
Edward Watkin Edwards thoroughly inside
out in the witness-box. Such evidence as
his is sadly and shamefully conclusive. Rarely
has a man occupying a public position for
years of equal importance and respectability created
a more disastrous impression. What with evasions
and constant pleas of defective memory, the feeling
throughout the court was that Mr. Edwards's state-
ments were utterly unreliable. The whole history of
this case is miserable enough, but whatever the issue
to the directors of Overend, Gurney, and Co., public
opinion has already passed a unanimous verdict
upon Mr. Edward Watkin Edwards. Judging him
out of his own mouth or reticence, that verdict is that
he cannot be permitted to remain an official assignee
of the Court of Bankruptcy."

The conduct of Mr. Edwards was made the subject
of severe comment at the Liverpool Chamber of
Commerce on Monday. Mr. Macfie, M.P., gave
notice that at a future meeting he intended to call
attention to some of the disgraceful revelations made
in connection with the case of Overend, Gurney, and
Co. The honourable gentleman expressed his con-
viction that a great deal of demoralisation had been
caused in commercial circles by the practice of giving
double commissions, as in the case of Mr. Edwards.
It was incidentally stated that the Commercial
Morality Committee of the Council had already taken
the subject into consideration. •

THE MANCHESTER BALLOT.

The Ballot at Manchester has raised a discussion
on the best plan to be used. It is admitted that, as
a matter of fact, all the voters who obtained cards at
Manchester did not dispose of them ;
.and this being
so, it is not a great stretch of imagination to
suppose, in case of a real election, the cards being
sold outside to the highest bidder. Mr. Brodrick
writes to the Times suggesting that the card
and the envelope should be made in some way to
correspond. The objection to the " figure system "
is patent—it would afford a means of identifying the
voter. But if card and envelope could be of the same
colour, nobody being allowed to go out without
depositing the envelope, a vote given in colours which
did not correspond would be instantly detected, and
might be pronounced void. Thus Mr. Brodrick
solves the difficulty. The objection is that perfect
secrecy (without which the Ballot is nothing)
would be very difficult to maintain with such a
system. It would be difficult to find a different
colour for each of the 30,000 electors of our largest
boroughs.

THE REDUCTIONS.

Reductions are still being carried out. .The Times
announces important reforms at Portsmouth,.
reforms which have long been called for, and will
be cavilled at by few. They comprise the abolition
of the offices of the Admiral-Superintendent of
the dockyard, the Captain-Superintendent of the
Naval Hospital at Haslar, and of the Royal
Clarence Victualling-yard ; of the Master-Attendant
at the E.oyal Clarence Victualling-yard ; of one out
of the two offices of Master-Attendant at the
dockyard ; the substitution of the three-decked ship
Duke of Wellington for the three ships now employed
in the harbour duties the Victory, Duke of
Wellington, and Asia; and a general reduction in
all military and civil expenditure on all matters in
the port that have to be provided for in the Navy
Estimates. How such absurd arrangements as now
exist could have been made, or how they could
be so long tolerated, puzzles one not a little.
What, for instance, was the use of putting a sailor,
an admiral, superintendent over a factory, except for
the purpose of giving him a little education, so that
he might give information to his brethren across the
walnuts and wine ? For what reason was a captain
placed over a purely medical department ? And
how possibly could any bright genius have fixed
upon .a high salary, ditto position; as the proper
remuneration for looking after a small steamer and
a few 'small sailing lighters, who are appointed to
carry stores to ships ?

ELECTION EXPENSES fl LANCASHIRE.

Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Grenfell had to pay dearly
for their defeat. The South-West Lancashire elec-
tion cost them £11,500. Mr. Gladstone has been
coasoled by a seat elsewhere and the Premiership ;
Mr. Grenfell, who left a safe seat at St. Ives to fight
the battle of his party in the palatine county, has
no such recompense. The expenses of Mr. Massey
and Mr. Rathbone, the unsuccessful candidates for
Salford, are between £5,000 and £G,OOO.

THAMES.

RoDEERY ON THE ELVER.—Two audacious boys. named
Coghlan and Tuscan, were brought before Mr. Benson
charged with stealing ropo, heaifasts, and warps from
barges, the property of Edward and John Shelbourne,
licensed lightermen and steam dredgers, 38, Fore-street,
Limehouse.

Mr. Pelham, who stated the case for the prosecution,
said the damage done by hordes of mischievous boy thieves
was immense. A few nights since the prisoners and an-
other boy, named Myers, cut the warps and headfasts of
Messrs. Shelbourne's craft at Limehouse, and besides the
loss of valuable rope, there was damage to the amount of
£3O caused by the barges getting adrift, and on a former
occasion damage was caused to the amount of £lOO. A
boy named Myers detailed the cutting of the warps and
head fasts, and admitted he was an accomplice. His story
received confirmation. Coghlan and Tuscan said that
Myers cut the ropes, and that a person named Butler, in
court, bought part of the stolen rope. Butler denied this.
Mr. Benson had no doubt the prisoners, Myers and
Butler, were all equally guilty, and belonged to a lawless
gang. He sentenced the prisoners to three months' im-
prisonment and hard labour, and was sorry he could not
punish Myers in the same way.
