CONSERVATISM IN THE MIDLANDS.

A Conservative association has been inaugurated at
West Bromwich. The chair was taken by the Earl of
Dartmouth, who delivered a long address. He did not
believe that the course they had taken would impede legis•
lative progress, or further the cause of intolerance and
oppression ; but he thought that every man had a right
to entertain his own political opinions, and to express
them at every legitimate opportunity. He would call
attention to the fact that all those who put themselves
forward in the cause of the disestablishment of the Irish
Church were considered to act in a legitimate manner.
while the actions of those opposed to the measure were called
into question. He considered the policy about to be pursued
towards the clergy of the Irish Church to be most unfair,
and it was hard to impose sacrifices on them when they
had done their duty to the Crown and the Constitution,
.Justice to Ireland ought not to be confined to one form of
religion, but all men should receive equal toleration. The
noble earl concluded by saying that the Conservative
party ought to prevent, so far as t hey could, any spasmodic
legislation. If e vindicated r. Disraeli from the
various charges that hail heel) brought against him, and
declared that he had faithfully served the interests of the
country and benefited his party.—M.... S. Lloyd pro-
posed one of the re3olutions, and rejoiced at the spread of
the principles of Conservatism. aimed at securing
the greatest good to the greatest possible number of man-
kind ; but the extreme Radical theory was that the Creator
had created men with equal rights to govern each other.
He concluded his remarks by observing that in all well-
governed countries there must be two parties, and the
benefits that had accrued from a good Conservative
Opposition were considerable.
The Conservative members for West Stafford have been
entertained at a banquet at Brierley-hill. Sir Smith
Child, in returrAng thanks, said that their meeting on that
occasion bore more reference to the triumph of the prin-
ciples of their party than to the personal success they had
met with. By the term Conservatism he did not mean an
opposition to this amendment of abuses, and he considered
that there was no aristocracy in the world so demo-
cratic, and no democracy so aristocratic as were those of
England. Mr. Meynell Ingram said that though their party
was now in a minority the wealth and intelligence of the
country were on the Conservative side. He was decidedly
opposed to Lord Russell's propositions with respect to the
revenues of the Irish Church. Among the other questions
for Parliament to deal with he might mention the poor
laws and the treatment of professional criminals.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of froo admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Messrs.
Coutts and Co.; Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ;
lierries and Co.; Ransom and Co. ; Prescott, Grote, and
Co.; Smith, Pafue, and Co.; Barclay and Co.; Williams,

tILIMINAL LUNATICS.

t it universally ac::nowledged that there are grave
anomalies in the present state of the law with regard
to criminal lunacy. The Howard Association hopes
to obtain a loyal Commission on the subject,
and has issued a paper containing Nome very
striking facts and statistics. The Toward Com-
mittee refer to the evils of the present
system, by whith Medical men are cross-examined by
counfel Whose object is not to elicit the truth, but to
Obtain replies favourable to their clients. Private
interests, again, often lead to the employment of
medical witnesses as party advocates. The proper
method would be to employ disinterested experts
appointed by the Government. In capital
eases involving lunacy there is special irregu-
larity. Statistics prove that insanity prevails
extensively among the convict and criminal classes.
Out of 004 persons tried for murder in England and
Wales in ten years, 103 were legally found insane.
Sixty-four per cent. of the inmates of our criminal
lunatic asylums became insane after sentence. At
Milbank there were officially reported last year 34
convicts certified as insane, 218 other mental cases,
and a number of epileptic prisoners. These figures
certainly demand attention.

GOOD NEWS FOR INVESTORS.
Just as investors are reduced to the depths of
despair for want of a sound undertaking in which to
embark their money, an announcement is made of a
new telegraph line to India, viii the Red Sea, with a
capitol of i':SSO,CCO. It is really astonishing,
considering the miserable failure and mismanage-
ment of the land line to India, that this undertaking,
so often talked of, has not been carried out before.
It was supposed that a Government guarantee would
be required. But there appears to be no necessity
for this, judging from the announcement that nearly
the whole of the capital was subscribed before the
project was made known to the public.

A PICTURE OF LIFE.

An inquest held at Cubitt-town, in the Isle of Dogs,
has brought to light a terrible pkture:of existence at the
East-end of London. The inquiry was held into the cir-
cumstances attending the death of a woman 34 years of
age and her infant child, both of whom had died from
starvation. The deceased woman was the wife of a
labourer, who, previously to the commercial crisis
of 1866, earned about 14s. a week. Since that
date, however, they had been in a state of
destitution. The house in which they lived was occupied
by five other families, and in all the landlord received
ss. 9d. a week for rent. " All were badly off for food,"
according to the witnesses, who added that " the deceased
did not want more than they did." The husband applied to
the guardians for relief, and was ordered to the stone-yard.
As, however, he was prevented from earning more than Bd.
a day he did not go. At length, all their scanty stock of fur-
niture gone, their broken windows boarded up to exclude, if
possible, the wind and the rain;and with no hope of relief,
the mother and the infant died within a few hours of each
other, the last meal of the former having been a piece of
salt, with which she had vainly endeavoured to appease
the pangs of hunger. The husband had since become
insane, but as there was no room for him in the asylum,
"it being crowded with mad people," he had been taken
into the workhouse. In accordance with such facts as
these the jury returned their verdict.

NEW ZEALAND.

The Maeries have received a severe check at last. The
Government of New Zealand was too late to save the
colonists who were massacred at Poverty Bay, hut
not too late to inflict a severe defeat upon the
wretches who perpetrated the outrage. The official
intelligence received by Earl Granville states that
not only have the rebels who were guilty of the recent
atrocities been repulsed with great loss, but the troops are
to be concentrated on the other side of the island. This
is obviously the better policy. Poverty Bay is remote
from the scene of the revolt; the massacre, in fact, was due
to a wholly unexpected surprise. The revolt is
mostly confined to the other side of the
island. The troops will have regained confidence
from this success, and as the outbreak has not spread, a
speedy end to the war may not unreasonably be hoped for.
The result never was doubtful; but the loss which must
now attend the discomfiture of the natives might have
been avoided had the Government at first taken the
measures which have just proved so beneficial.

THE CoNvier BISGEOVE.—WiIIiam Bisgrove, th e
murderer of George Cornish at Wells, in August last, was
yesterday transferred from the Taunton County Prison to
the Government Lunatic Asylum, Broalmoor. Bisgrove
appeared perfectly quiet and tractable, and his bodily
health does not seem to have suffered much during incar-
ceration.

LADVERTISEMENT..I-11olloway's Pills.—Pdpitation of
the heart is frequently not only felt but heard, prevents
sleep, and begets the utmost dread of impending suffoca-
tion. These pills are particularly recommended for re-
moving this affection' because they strengthen the nervous
and debilitated, who are much more liable to this malady
than ether persons. Holloway's pills so improve the di-
gestion, increase the action of the liver, and give activity
to the bowels, that giddiness, headacha, and nausea depart
as the palpitation diminishes, and the sufferer at once ex-
periences the most indescribable relief from aaNiety. Hol-
loway's pills form the best alterative and aperient in all
cases of convalescence from fevers, inflammations, neu-
ralgia, and all chronic diseaseg, which have impoverished
the blood and brain.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

PLUNDERING PREMISES ON FIRE.—John Venus, a pain-
ter, of 3, Fisher-street, Red Lion-square, was charged
before Mr. Knox with having in his possession a quantity
of merino and other property, of the value of £lO 10s., the
property of Messrs. Alien and Co., linen drapers, No. 5,
Little Pulteney-street, and James Maguire, a carman,
living at 6, Little Pulteney-street, was charged with
having some shirts and other property, of the value of
.£1 ss. 6d., well knowing the same to be stolen.
Inspector Bush, of the C Division, said that on Wednes-
day afternoon a fire took place on the premises of Messrs.
Allen, and a quantity of property was taken away by per-
sons in the crowd which collected, and last night Venus
was stopped with some of the property in his possession,
and other property was aft,ersvards found in the possession
of the other prisoner.

A constable said that about half-past seven the previous
evening be was in Compton .street, and saw the prisoner
Venus with a washing basket. He asked him what he
had got in it, and he said " Washing," and that ho bad
got it up there, pointing up the street. He asked the
prisoner to let him see it, and on lifting up the covering
be saw that it was some of the property taken from Messrs.
Allen's. He then took Venus into custody, and afterwards
went to No. 6, Little Pulteney-street, and on searching
Maguire's room found in the bed some of the property
into
custody.
from Messrs. Allen's, and he then took Maguire
custody.
John Hayle, assistant to Messrs. Allen, identified the
property produced as having been taken from Messrs.
Allen's premises, on the breaking out of the fire on Wed-
nesday last.
Mr. Knox asked Inspector Bush whether he considered
anything would be gained by a remand.
Inspector Bush said not in the present case, but he
thought the police would be able to get back other pro-
perty in the possession of other persons in the neigh-
bourhood.
Mr. Knox said that he would remand the prisoners for
a few days.

THAMES.

AN INCORRIGIBLE THIEF.—EIIen Daly, a strapping
Irish woman, with a fine child iu her arms, was brought
up, on remand, before Mr. Paget charged with stealing
61bs. of salt beef from the shop of Mr. James Barmore, of
No. 8 and 9, Charles-street, St. George-in-the-East, and
71be. of salt pork, the property of some person or persons
unknown.
Mr. Barmore, who keeps a large meat establishment,
Las been very unlucky. Ire has been robbed 100 times,
and a great many have been convicted for stealing meat
from his shop, and sentenced to imprisonment. On the
night of Saturday, the 9th of the present month, the pri-
soner was detected by Frederick Brinkwortl►, shopman to
Mr. Barmore, in the act of stealing a piece of salt beef
from the shop board. He followed her, and seized her
with tha moat in her possession before she had proceeded
far, and she set up a loud clamour, declared that she in-
tended to take the moat into the shop, have it weighed,
and pay for it. The price of the meat would have been
3s. 4d., and she only had 2e. 6d. in her possession. At the
station-house she was searched, and a Mrs. Lane found
upon her 71b. of salt pork. A few minutes afterwards
she was seized with the pains of labour and was removed
to the workhouse. In the course of the night she gave
birth to a child, and was detained in the workhouse until
she was fit to appear. She now insisted that she meant
to pay for the beef, and that the pork was given to her
by another woman to carry home. Unfortunately she
was identified as having been convicted more than once
for stealing meat. She said all the convictions against
her were wrong, and that she never stole any meat.
Mr. Paget committed her for trial for stealing Mr. Bar-
more's salt beef, and she left the court with maledictions
on the magistrate, the police, Mr. Barraore, and every one
lri Qoull.

RUSSIA.

The Greek Church has refused to take part in the
General Council at Rome; but in Russia, at least, it is by
no means agreed that such a gathering of ecclesiastics
would not be useful, and it is accordingly proposed to hold
a council of the Greek Church at Constantinople. The
first preliminary, it strikes us, must be to inquire as to the
friendly disposition of the Sultan on this point. Some of
the Russians appear to perceive the humour of asking a
Ma.hometan-sovereign to consent to a meeting in his
capital of the bishops who rule the consciences of his
greatest enemies. Theyhave accordingly suggested Moscow
as a better locus.

LORD RUSSELL'S LETTER.

The third epistle of Lord Russell has met with a
very unfavourable reception from the Liberal journals.
The Times is downright puzzled by it. Surely, says
our contemporary, Mr. Chichester Fortescue, to whom
it is addressed, must have been aware of its
purport before it was published. Is the Chief
Secretary for Ireland at sea with regard to the Irish
policy ? Are Burke's words, quoted by Lord
Russell—" the Government crept meanly out of
difficulties into which it had strutted proudly "
prophetic ? Lord Russell's main proi)osition, the
division of the endowments among three commu-
nions. the Times declares to be so crude that
it will not stand examination for a minute, and
to be, moreover, at variance with the policy
enunciated by Mr. Gladstone last session,
approved by the majority of the late House of Com-
mons, carried by appeal to the constituencies of
the kingdom, and by them approved again. This is
a critical time for the Ministry, and it is necessary to
speak plainly, and to de,:lare that Earl Russell's plan
will not do; that his rNtson—the nemsaity for resist-
ing the inroads of scepticism—will not justify the
setting aside of funds for building Roman Catholic
parsonages. " But," acids the Times," there is some-
thing in Lord Russell's suggestions, despite their
feeble basis and imperfect development, which may
recommend them to some of the Ministry. Mr.
Bruce frankly told the electors of Renfrew that there
was a difficulty in disendowment. Equality, he said,
required either that the parsonages and glebes of the
existing Establishment should lapse on the death of
the existing incumbents, or that parsonages and
glebes should be provided for other religious bodies,
and he intimated that the Cabinet was -hesitating
between the two methods of procedure. If this be
so, Lord Russell's letter may have a purpose."

THE NEW LAW COVETS.

Another letter from Sir Charles Trevelyan appears
in the Times on the subject of the new law courts.
He refers to the numerous communications that have
been made by various writers who test the correct-
ness of his proposal. In reply to the observation
which has been made that the area of his proposed
site is 330,000 ft., Sir Charles declares that it contains
440,500 superficial feet, or rather more than 10 if acres,
without including any portion of the Embankment.
It will not be necessary for the .letropolitan Rail-
way to take so much of the Embniliment as has
been supposed, because while it has hitherto had free
scopa, it will now be compelled to take no more of the
rAnnanzment than it really requires. The tendency
of the arrangement in progress for the law is towards
the decentralisation of the system of judicature, and
therefore any site that is large enough for the
purposes of the present day is likely to be more than
large enough twenty years hence. Sir Charles
declares that there is no fear of our having
an " overgrown building " with Somerset House
on one side and the Temple on the other.
As for the risk of " wandering through a
labyrinth of offices," there could not be a more
simple or easily understood plan, and the
oblong form of the Embankment site will
permit of greater development, and remedy a
defect of Mr. Street's plan, which was unavoidable
on the old square site. Sir C. Trevelyan concludes
by declaring that it is a lamentable fact that the
cost of the old site and approaches has been under-
estimated, and that five minutes' inspection of the
papers and plans will convince the incredulous.

FORhIGN NOTES.

ittInKEY AND GREEM

The Patrie, which has been generally well informed on
Eastern matters, notifies "a slight amelioration" in the
gloomy intelligence from Athens. As, however,
the news given by this semi-official paper was
of the gloomiest possible character, a " slight
amelioration" leaves much to be desired. The
bias of public opinion greatly inclines to the unfavourable
view of the situation. One most improbable rumour has
gained credence at Paris, and is deemed by the Indepen-
dance Beige of some import. It is to the effect
that there is an understanding between Greece and
the United States. Finding no help elsewhere, the Athens
Cabinet has applied at Washington, and the American
Government is not indisposed to lend Greece maritime aid
if an island in the yEgean Sea be ceded in return. A war
with Turkey during
the present economical fever which
has seized all parties in America is very unlikely, if not
altogether impossible. The rumour may, however, have
something in it; Greece may obtain a loan from America.
She will experience difficulty in getting one anywhere
else.

AUSTRIA.

The German population of Austria seems to stand
dabgreat majority gained by the
Dc considerably
partyer lyin
at tifieea recentrof the
eleetions in Hungary. The pre-
ponderance of the Government supporters is not only over-
whelming in numbers, but the Opposition is split into
factions, discouraged, and without settled policy. Unfortu-
nately, the example of Hungary has not been followed
in other parts of the empire. The Austrian Reichsrath
presents an arrangement of parties far less satisfactory
than that in the Hungarian Diet. The majority in
the Austrian Legislature is far from being a horn°•
geneous or well-organised party. Hence it is
feared that Hungarian influence may ultimately
become decisive on most great questions, and
this is especially likely in the case of the Delegations—the
Parliament composed deputations from the Austrian
and Hungarian Legislatures.
The ex-King and the Prince Royal of Hanover were
invited on the 22nd to the dinner given by the Emperor in
honour of the Prince of Woe, Will this lead to another
figurative impaling of Austria by the Berlin papers?
