INDIAN ArrAtns.

alive.

The heat in India has maintained an average of ninety
degrees in the coolest plum for the past month, and
the thermometer is likely to keep at this figure for
the next few weeks. Hence people do nothing, and there
is little news. Cholera is very prevalent in one
or two places, and has made its appearance amongst the
European troops at Kamptee, but this latter outbreak is
not serious. The intelligence from A Afghanistan consists
chiefly of the cheering intimation that " Cabul news has
again, after twelve months' unnatural consistency, dropped
back to its normal chaotic and unintelligible state."
Mr. Lowe has got into trouble with the Indian papers
through his statement on the 4th of March, that he had
received no otlicial information regarding Abyssinian
accounts and expenditure since the 17th of December.
The Times of India maintains that examined accounts,
representing a million and a quarter, had been received in
England after that date. Up to the 22nd of May last
Accounts for seven millions had been sent home,
and very little was then left to be done. In
short, whatever complaint may be made of extrava-
gance, the Bombay Government has done its best
to enable the English people to realise all the pleasing
figures as soon as possible. In fact, the Times correspon•
dent thinks there must have been a mistake somewhere.
Never before have the accounts of an English war been
made up so rapidly. This celerity is so unusual as to be
positively alarming.

THE MINISTRY.

All the members of the Cabinet are now in
London, and attended the last Council. Earl
Spencer has also arrived in this country, and his
vote will, therefore, be available for the critical
divi-
eion on the Irish Church Bill.

THE. CHURCH AND THE LAND.

The Chaplain-General of the Forces has written
another letter to the Herald on the course to be
adopted by the Peers on the Irish Church Bill.
Mr. Gleig accepts the numerous meetings lately held
on the subject as evidence that the country is not
unanimous. He appeals to the bishops to
exert all their influence against the bill, and
warns them that if they betray their trust
by either voting in its favour or leaving the House
respect of the great body of
Churchmen. Mr. Gleig believes that the
E theyilmajoritygl
sh w i will
fl lose
ethe Irish
people are indifferent to the
Church question, and care only for the land
question. The Government that will reconcile
the wishes of the tenantry with the just
rights of the owners of the soil may
leave all other questions to settle themselves. Mr.
Gleig sees no other course of honour for the Lords
than to reject the bill at the second reading, and if
this course produces a revolution,the House of Lords
will, at least, fall with dignity. It remains to be
seen if their lordships will this to be a sufficient
consolation for the prospect.
Mr. Tighe Hamilton, writing to the Times on the
Irish Church and land questions, suggests that a
corrected view of the land may assist a corrected
view as to the Church. The Irish traditions as to
the ownershp of the land are, he maintains, entirely
delusive. It was not the ancestors of the present
tenantry who were swept away by the desolation of
Ireland, but the proprietary class, the gentry of the
period. If the supposed rightful owners of the land
could be restored, they would be no more acceptable to
the tenantry than the present landlords. Mr.
Hamilton thinks a better solution of the problem
would be to provide out of the Church property
liberal house and land accommodation for the
minister of each religious persuasion in every Irish
parish. This would be a restoration to the
Catholic laity of a portion of the property
originally granted to them, whereas the Church
Bill as it stands does the laity no individual
good. Mr. Hamilton hopes that the Lords will not,
by a peremptory rejection of the bill before them,
lose the opportunity of maturing a sounder scheme.
In reference to the Presbyterian endowment, he
reminds the public that he was concerned in the
negotiations for placing this grant on the estimates
twenty-nine years ago, and he thinks the terms of
the contract then entered into yield a strong argu-
ment against disendowment.

THE UNITED STATES AND SPAIN.

• The New York Times of the Ist inst. says that a state-
ment made not long since by Mr. 11. J. Perry, American
Secretary of Legation in Spain, to the effect that
the Government of Spain had resolved, at one
period of the civil war, to commence war against the
United States, has excited a good deal of attention
and curiosity. The Times proceeds :—" From informa-
tion that has since reached us, we are inclined to believe
the statement well founded. The determination of Spain
was brought about by the intrigues of the Emperor of the
French, and Was based on a complaint that our
Government bad been guilty of a violation of neutral
rights. The 9th of October 1863, was fixed upon as
the day for commencing hostilities, orders to that effect
having already been sent out by the Spanish Government.
But through the active efforts of Liberal Spaniards,
devoted friends of )ur cause as identical with their own,
counter orders were sent out by the steamer from Cadiz
of September 15, 1863, and the whole affair was
suppressed. In ;he present condition of Spanish
politics it would be highly imprudent to disclose
the names of the persons who rendered us this service.
They are all now, since the revolution, prominent public
men, and their poition and influence would be seriously
compromised by a premature disclosure of their agency
in this transaction But the time will probably come
before long when their names can be made known and we
can award them the acknowledgment their friendly
services deserve."

OUR INDIAN POLICY.

Everything passed off well at the meeting of Lord
Mayo and the Ameer Sher° Ali. Never has such a
"durbar" been held before. Judging from the accounts,
it seems a mistake to say that the proceedings were con-
ducted " regardless of expense," for the masters of the
ceremonies have apparently been anxious to get rid of as
much money as the occasion could possibly warrant. So
lavish was the outlay that the Times of India bluntly calls
it sheer waste. The Ameer reached Umballa on the
24th of March, and Lord Mayo arrived on the 27th, the
troops forming a line two miles in length from the railway
station to the camp. In the afternoon the grand durbar
was held. Lord Mayo welcomed Shere Ali in a short
speech, trusting that the visit would be the commence-
ment of many years of amity between her Majesty and
the ruler of Affghanistan. Shere Ali's reply came up to
the usual princely standard of oratory. Then came off the
return durbar, given Ly Shere Ali. On the 30th took
place a review—one of the finest ever held in India.
Lord and Lady Mayo were present on horseback ; the
Viceroy was mounted on the national elephant. Again
everything passed off successfully. The Ameer was
delighted, but apparently his pleasure was not without
alloy. Despondingly he is said to have remarked that he
had not seen a handsome man within the boundary of
British India. De gustibus, &c.

This review took place at six in the morning, and at
eleven the Viceroy held a levee, and at four His Excel-
lency had a private conversation with the Ameer. Nothing
is known reppecting what took place; but the Times of
India says " it may be regarded as certain that, whatever
Shere Ales wishes may have been, no treaty or definite
engagement vas made. It has probably been con•
sidered sufficient .for the present to assure the Ameer
of the friendly disposition of the British Government,
and to prove it by useful aid in arms and money."
The Times of India, notwithstanding its grumbling at the
expense, believes that the meeting will improve our rela-
tions with Affghanistan, and perhaps other Asiatic peoples.
And this seems probable. A telegram from Bombay states
that all Shere Ales rivals have disappeared from Affghan
territory, that he is greatly elated at the result, and
ascribes it to the Umballa meeting.

THE InLu LEGAL APPOINTMENTS.

There seems to be much uncertainty about the
Irish legal appointments. It has been stated that
Mr. Barry, th o Irish Sol icitor-General, has accepted the
appointment of Judge to the Landed Estates Court.
For this, however, there appears to have been very
little founda.tion. The Advertiser now announces
that he has declined the offer. Probably enough he
intends to fly at higher game. The Advertieer adds,
that in all possibility the office will be conferred on
Mr. Stephen Woulfe Flanagan, formerly one of the
M.stcrs in the Encumbered Estates Court, and
brother of the defeated candidate at the last Sligo
ekction or on Mr. David Sherlock, M.P., for
Queen's County. Mr. IT. I_Aw, the draughtsman

DIPLOMATIC DISCLOSUI FS.

The careerpf the admirable Mr. Benjamin Higgs is not,
the only case which may serve to point the moral that
nothing is so damaging to success as too close inqniry into
the means by which it is attained. The Prussian war
of 1866 was a striking triumph, but unfortunately for the
credit of Count Bismarck and his royal master, all their
fine schemes are now being detailed to the world in black
and white. A few mouths ago the publication of the
famous TJsedom despatch, in which Count Bismarck
laid down a scheme by which Prussia and Italy were to
achieve the utter ruin of Austria, was the source of
infinite annoyance to the Prussian statesmen. Count
Bismarck was obliged, for decency's sake, to disavow the
document—a task- to which he address'A himself under
the pleasing consciousness that nobody would believe him.
A still more mortifying disclosure has just been made.
The other day we gave the substance of a despatch ad-
dressed by Count Bismarck to the Prussian Ambassador at
P. aria. This creditable communication was sent by telegraph
in cypher, but the Austrians " milked" the wires, and
discovered the key to the cypher. The despatch is to be
published in the fourth volume of the great work on the
war by the Austrian staff, but it has been given in advance
by the New Free Press. In it Count Bismarck informs the
Ambassador that King William cared little or nothing
about a North German Confederation. What he wanted

peatedly assured the world, at Wiesbaden and in Hanover,
that he never intended to deprive his brother German
sovereigns of their crowns. He followed these sincere
protests by the declaration that he would rather abdicate
than return from the campaign without conquest. Well

manifested glee ; well may the Prussian papers protest
against its publication. The assurance that the unity of
Germany means, in King William's phraseology, unity
under Prussia, is not likely to gratify the Southern States.

THE MARCH PAST.

The march past was a pretty sight, and was commend-
able from a military point of view. Uniforms of regular
troops were in sufficient quantity to enliven the whole
extent of the scene, the ground being kept by the 33rd
and 35th Regiments, and two companies of the 46th.
There were in all nearly 3,000 of the Queen's soldiers on
the ground, and the volunteers numbered rather more
than 5,000. The march past began at three o'clock,
pretty punctually, General Buller's staff being joined at
the saluting point by a mounted party of distinguished
visitors, among whom were Admiral Sir James Hop',
Lord Bury, and Colonel Lindsay. Though the ground
was, unfortunately, more uneven in the front of the staff
than in any other part of the Common, all the men con-
trived to avoid breaking, even when they marched in
grand divisions.

TILE PUBLISHERS AND THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

There is a wise law in operation concerning the
British Museum, which enacts that publishers of any
works whatsoever shall send one copy to the librilry
there. If this rule were carried out no publishes
would feel the burden, and all England would be
benefited. We are reasonably proud of the library
and the more complete we can _make it the better
But it is a well-known fact that publishers de
not obey the law. The more eminent music
publishers have long ago ceased altogether tc
send their works. Is there no one to look
after this matter ? There is also another theory
which Mr. Ayrton told to the House on Friday night
that newspapers were sent to the Inland Revenue
and from thence to the national collection. But
here. also the law fails in some way. Newspapers
which, under the Stamp Act, must have been sent tc
the office of the Inland Revenue, are now probably
stuffed in some. of the back rooms of Somers&
House. At any rate, the British Museum authorities
know nothing of them.

OUR INDIAN POLICY.

Everything passed off .well at the meeting of Lord
Mayo and the Ameer Shere Ali. Never has such a
"durbar" been held before. Judging from the accounts,
it seems a mistake to say that the proceedings were con-
ducted " regardless of expense," for the masters of the
ceremonies have apparently been anxious to get rid of as
much money as the occasion could possibly warrant. So
lavish was the outlay that the nun of India bluntly calls
it sheer waste. The Ameer reached Umballa on the
24th of March, and Lord Mayo arrived on the 27th, the
troops forming a line two Miles in length from the railway
station to the camp. In the afternoon the grand durbar
was held. Lord Mayo welcomed Sher° Ali in a short
speech, trusting that the visit would he the commence-
ment of many years of amity between her Majesty and
the ruler of Affghanistan. Shere Ali's reply came up to
the usual princely standard of oratory. Then came off the
return durbar, given by Shere AIL On the 30th took
place a review—one of the finest ever held in India.
Lord and Lady Mayo were present on horseback ; the
Viceroy was mounted on the national elephant. Again
everything passed off successfully. The Ameer was
delighted, but apparently his pleasure was not without
alloy. Despondingly he is said to have remarked that he
bad not seen a handsome man within the boundary of
British India. De gustibus, &c.

This review took place at six in the morning, and at
eleven the Viceroy held a levee, and at four His Excel-
lency had a private conversation with the Ameer. Nothing
is known respecting what took place; but the Times of
India says " it may be regarded as certain that, whatever
Shere Ali's wishes may have been, no treaty or definite
engagement was made. It has probably been con-
sidered sufficient for the present to assure the Ameer
of the friendly disposition of the British Government,
and to prove it by useful aid in arms and money."
The Times of India, notwithstanding its grumbling at the
expense, believes that the meeting will improve our rela-
tions with Affghanistan, and perhaps other Asiatic peoples.
And this seems probable. A telegram from Bombay states
that all Shere Ali's rivals have disappeared from Affghan
territory, that he is greatly elated at the result, and
ascribes it to the Umballa meeting.

TUE STRIKE AT PRESTON:

About 2,500 operatives were paid at the Weavers'
Institute, in Lawson-street, on Monday. The business
was commenced about eight o'clock in the morning, and
concluded between seven and eight in the evening. The
two-loom non-union weavers received 4s. each, the three
and four-loom non-union hands ss. each, and the
union members 6s. With the exception of a
few slight disturbances outside the institute, got
up-mainly by excited women, the general proceedings
were very orderly. The subscriptions for this week
from the various districts on behalf of the unemployed
weavers amount to about £330, a sum sufficient to pay all
hands and secure a balance for next week. An effort
has been made to amicably arrange matters at one
of the mills between a number of spinners and their
employers. The Manchester Typographical Society
has, it is reported, made a grant of a substantial character
to the Preston operatives. A meeting of delegates repre-
senting the associated spinners and minders of Lancashire,
Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derbyshire was held in Man-
chester on Sunday. There was a numerous attendance ;
all the chief districts were represented ; good subscriptions
on behalf of the Preston operatives were handed in, and
a distinct determination to support those operatives was
evinced. vii Luc paiLe ua, tea,-c
- - - -

seating the North of England Amalgamated Society of
Loomers and Drawers was held in Illanchcster, and during
the proceedings it was determined to assist the Preston
operatives connected with those departments. With
respect to the proposed reduction of 5 per cent, in East
Lancashire, the operatives' executive have agreed upon
nothing definite, and the various districts will have to be
consulted before any definite action is taken in the matter.

TIE.; PORTSMOUTH REVIEW.

All accounts agree in stating that the Portsmouth
Review was a pretty sight. Lovelier weather for any out-
door fete and spectacle could not have been desired or
imagined ; nor, all things considered, was there much to
repine at on other scores. It is true that the whole affair
was diminutive ; the narrow field of action being lined
with a sparse muster of spectators, and the military evo-
lutions being performed by fewer men of all arms than
could make a very imposing show; but gaiety and pretti-
ness took the places of grandeur and pomp, and the Inn'
nificent gave way to the jolly.

CONFLICTING JUDGMENTS.
There will be conflicting; judgments, of course, passed
upon the review, and we may be sure nothing connected
with it will escape blame from some sort of criticism nt
other. Ordinary people will remember the day with
delight, and declare, with justification, that it was a rare
display of its kind. Those who affect a knowledge of
military tactics will—also with some shew of justification
—laugh and sneer at plans which they will term absurd,
and at a chew which they will speak of as undignified. If
People will insist upon looking at life from different stand-
points, we must expect divergence of opinion. If the
intention of the planners of the day's proceedings wns
to give the volunteers and their friends a, nice gala day,
and a little holiday work, they have done it, and sent
thousands of men and women home gratified. If the wish
of the scientific visitors was to have a keenly consistent
military programme carried out with martial rigour, they
have a right to grumble to their hearts' content, for they
had neither the one nor the other.

THE FIELD AND THE OPERATIONS.
The Common on which the review took place is in its
entire length barely nine furlongs, and is so narrow that
anything like manoeuvring is out of the question. As for
the sham fight, it was perhaps not more absurd than All
sham fights must necessarily be. Military criticism of
such things is entirely misplaced. No commanding officer
has ever thought of handling his force on such occasions
as it would really be handled in action. Certain contin-
gencies are assumed, in order that certain movements lia3't
with a certain show of purpose, be carried out ; and that
is all. Fortifications are, as a matter of course, taken

THE SPANISH THRONE.

At a recent sitting of the Cortes, Senor Zorilla told the
Republican minority that the refusal of Dom Fernando
had not left the Government without resource. They
still had a candidate. This is believed to be Prince
Leopold, of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, elder brother of
Prince Charles of 'Roumania, and brother-in-law of the
King of Portugal. In no way is he connected with the
Bourbon family.

A VERY S usrictous AEFAIR.—Henry Sergeant, a well-
dressed bay, 13 years o:d, was placed at the bar charged
with having a very valuable meerschaum pipe mounted in
silver in his possession.

Mr. EdwinSoames, pawnbroker, ulham-road, said that
a man offered the pipe in pawn last night. Seeing it was
a very valuable one, and the man not giving a
satisfactory account about it, kept the pipe.
Seeing the man when he left speak to the
prisoner, witness inquired of him respecting the
pipe, when he said he found it in a dust-hole at 16,
Gloucester-terrace, Old Brompton, and wonting some half-
pence had given it to the man to pawn.

Mr. Arnold said that Mr. Soames was entitled to much
praise, and remanded the prisoner upon bail until to-mor-
row week.

r ONDON, TUESDAY, APRIL 27, IH9.

There are some things altogether too horrible to
write about—certainly to write about with any de-
gree of detail or minuteness. And yet from the very
circumstances of their really appalling and revolting
character, it is incumbent upon the journalist that they
should not be passed by in absolute silence. Conspi-
cuous of late among these themes of horror have been
two indescribably detestable murders—one of them
committed eighteen years ago—the other only very
recently. In each instance the victim was a woman.
In each instance the murder was of the most brutal
character. Prior to the murder in one instance the
victim was foully outraged. Subsequent to the mur-
der in the other instance the body of the victim
was got rid cf by a revolting series of
mutilations. The last-mentioned crime was the
one perpetrated nearly a score of years ago down at
Norwich--the murdenr, in his seeming respectabi-
lity, resembling TAIVELL, in his infernal inhumanity
resembling GREENACRE. The wretched criminal, is
this case, was self-accused. Ilis confession of his
long-secreted guilt was extorted from him by the
tardy agonies of remorse, and the result has been
that he has expiated his atrocity upon the gallows,
at the hands of the public, or we ought rather to limy

and others, respondents, was taken by the Lord Chan-

Solicitor-General (appearing for Miss Shedden) applied
that the case might be postponed till after a motion had
been made to Lord Penzance in the Matrimonial Causes
Court relative to the alleged mutilated documents and
other matters. The learned counsel stated that Miss
Shedden was in a very weak state of health, and that the
present case was one of life or death to her. He trusted
that the case might be postponed till after Whitsuntide.
Their lordships, having consulted together, refused the
application.

RUMOURED NEW PEERS.

A telegram from Ottawa, published by the New York
Times, says : " It is believed in well-informed circles that
Sir George E. Cartier, Sir John A. McDonald, and the
Hon. Messrs. Howe and Tilley sill be made lords, under
the bill introduced by Earl Russell, creating life
peerages."
The Liverpool Courier has been requested by Mr. John
Pemberton Heywood, of Norris Green, to contradict the
rumour which has been published in the Manchester and
other newspapers that be was about to be made a peer.
Mr. Heywood says there is no foundation whatever for
such a statement.
