TLIV 11 ILL OT.

The following circular has been issued from the
offices of the Society for Promoting the Aloption
of the Vote by 13allot, 5, Guildhall chambers,
Basinghall-street

"Dear Sir,—By direction of the enxcutive corn-
natee, we beg leave to lazy before you a statement
of their recent proceedinro, and an explanation of
the plan of operation which they desire to adopt
during the coming autumn and winter. For the
last six months it has been thought expedient to
transfer the society's operations from out-door agi-
tation to Parliament itself, and the committee have
been instrumental in causing the question of free
and protected voting to be frequently enforced on the '
attention of the legislature. By the latest report of
the public petitions committee 87 petitions in favour
of the ballot, bearing 13,733 signatures, have been
presented to the House of Commons during the
session. Those petitions were generally adopted
by the places from which they came at the in-
stance of your committee ; they exceed in number
the petitions for any other measure of reform, and
are exclusive of a large number of petitions pray-
ing for the ballot with other measures.
" The subject of protected voting was first
brought before Parliament in the late session by
Mr. Duncombe's motion in favour of trying the
ballot at Gloucester and Wakefield, on which a short
but animated debate occurred. The motion was
opposed by the Government, and therefore, defeated.
Mr. Duncombe received the support of several
members who are opposed to the ballot as a mea-
sure of universal application. A resolution in
favour of the ballot was proposed in the House of
Lords by Lord Teynham; Though unsupported in
debate, the noble lord received the support of seve-
ral peers who were faithful friends of the ballot in
the House of Commons. Mr. Berkeley's annual
motion was supported by a great majority of the
liberal members and by several conservatives, and
was opposed by the Premier, and a majority of the
cabinet, who were again content to be saved by
their opponents from a defeat by their friends. The
debate was not satisfactory,:as our opponents re-
solved to put down all discussion by noise and in-
terruption, and of course succeeded. The majority
againtt the motion was larger than usual, but that
is attributable not to the defection of friends, but
to the fears of opponents, who took more trouble to
muster their forces than ever they took before.
" A select committee of the House of Commons
was appointed on the motion of Mr. Edwin James,
M.P., to inquire into the prevalence of corrupt prac-
tices at elections, and as to the necessity for further
preventive legislation. The majority of that com-
mittee were opponents of the ballot. Mr; Berkeley
was omitted from the list proposed by Mr. James,
and the addition of his name was proposed by Mr.
T. Duncombe, and successfully resisted by Mr.
Edward Bouverie, M.P., the chairman of the com-
mittee. Your committee petitioned to be heard by
witnesses before that select committee ; their prayer
was refused, and the subject of intimidation, the
master evil of our present system of election, was
scarcely mentioned during the inquiry. Your com-
mittee were instrumental in causing the examina-
tion before the select committee of Mr. Childers,
M.P., and Captain Clarke, R.E., as to the success
of the ballot in Australia. All the most experienced
commissioners in the recent inquiries at Gloucester
and Wakefield expressed strong opinions in favour
of the ballot, and generally the evidence taken
before the select committee decidedly strengthens
the case for its adoption. The ballot as practised
in Victoria was proposed in the select committee by
Mr. Ayrton, M.P., as one of the measures to be re-
commended to the house. That proposal was nega-
tived. The measures recommended by the select
committee are ridiculously inefficient for the purpose
in view. No further legislation on the subject under
their auspices occurred during the session.
" Mr. Wyld, M.P., brought before the house the
question of protection to the voter by moving
for leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws
and practice as to taking votes at elections; the
Government did not oppose that motion. The
bill was brought in, and your committee finding it
on examination to be a satisfactory measure, being
in fact the ballot as administered in Australia, gave
the bill their best support. It was but the late period
of the session and the pressure of the Government
business which prevented the further progress being
made with the measure. Your committee trust
that Mr. Wyld will reintroduce his bill early in
the next session. Had the Government Reform
Bill been proceeded with, your committee were
prepared for an attempt at the proper stage to
make the ballot part of those measures. One prin-
cipal cause of the failure of the reform bills yoiir
committee deem to have been the omission of the
ballot. Mr. Cobden, it will be remembered, some
years ago predicted that failure would attend any
attempt at a further reform of Parliament of which
the ballot was rot part.
" The close of the session sets your committee
free to resume their out-door agitation, which they
are anxious to do on an extended scale. There are
upwards of twenty-four boroughs, in which, for the
purpose of obtaining such an expression of public
opinion as may secure the votes of their members in
favour of ballot, meetings should be held and tracts
sent to each elector. It is desirable also to spread
information on the ballot amongst the county cow
stituencies, to whose political welfare the measure
is of such vital importance. In addition to such
agitation, every election which may occur should
continue to be made the occasion of imparting to
the constituency instruction on the question of the
ballot. This plan of operation which your
committee desire to carry out cannot of course
be accomplished if they be not entrusted by
their friends with the necessary funds. Over
the expenditure of the society your committee ex-
ercise a very rigid control, being desirous of econo-
mising your funds so far as is compatible with the
efficient conduct orthe agitation. The success of
the society depends upon the incessant activity of
the committee, and involves a considerable expen-
diture of time and money, the usefulness of the
society will, therefore, be co-extensive with the
means it possesses. The recent proceedings of
the committee, though attracting less notice than
outdoor agitation, involved large expenditure, in
correspondence with constituents in order to secure
the presence of members, and in communications
to members to obtain their attendance at the
various stages of the measures supported by the
committee. About 18,000 letters were issued and
paid by your committee during the session. We
subjoin a statement of the total amount received
and expended from the formation of the society to
the present time. You will bear in mind that the
money contributed to this society is strictly de-
voted to the purposes of agitation. No payment
is made to members of the committee for writing
or speaking on behalf of the society, the bare tra-
velling expenses of deputations only being paid.
The only paid officers are an assistant secretary
and a clerk, at extremely moderate salaries,
and the outlay for rent of offices is equally low.
Your committee direct us to solicit a continuance
of your pecuniary support, and your cooperation ill
raising the sinews of war, and to remind you that
you cannot render them more effectual aid than by
promoting collections in your own neighbourhood.
Subscriptions of any amount, however small, made
in each locality, where we have resident subscribers
or correspondents (and these are to be found in
every part of the country), would soon raise the
funds necessary to elicit such an unmistakeable
expression of that public opinion in favour of the
ballot which everywhere exists, as would secure at
an early period the triumph of our cause.
" Thanking you for your past support, and con-
fidently relying on your hearty co-operation for the
future,—We beg leave to remain, dear sir, yours
faithfully,
" F. HENRY F. BERKELEY, Chairman.
" EDWARD C.WHITEHURST,Vice-Chairman.
" CHARLES HENRY ELT,
" SYDENHAM NODES, Treasurers.
" MARK E MARSDEN,
" JOHN F. BONTEMS, Hon. Secretary."

GENERAL LAMORICIERE.—A meeting of Catho-
lics was held last night (Tuesday), at the Hanover-square
Rooms, for the purpose of promoting a testimonial in the
shape of a sword of honour to be presented to General La-
moriciere ; Mr. J. P. Hennessy, M.P.,'occupied the chair,
and there were present a number of Catholic clergymen
and gentlemen. Resolutions were passed, authorising a
subscription list to be opened, and requesting Sir G. Bow-
yer and the Very Rev. J. O'Neal, V.G., to act as trea-
surers. The Rev. J. Doherty and Mr. N. W. Hodges
were appointed honorary secretaries. A committee was
formed, and amongst those who consented to act were Lord
Fielding, Sir G. Bowyer, General Tyler,:Mr.H.,
Ret.frisos nY!
M.P., Mr. H. IV. Wilberforce, R. Berkeley, Esq
teith, Esq. (Carstairs), and the Revs. Canon O'Neal,
Morris, 31.‘Donnell, Sing, DY. Gilbert, &c. It was stated
that a number of other influential names were expected to
be added. A list of subscriptions amounting to a consi-
siderable sum was read, and the secretaries were directed to
advertise the same in the daily and weekly journals.
THE CAUSES OF DISHONESTY.---The chaplain of
Horsemonger-lane Gaol has been carefully studying the
causes of dishonesty. In his annual report to the Surrey
justices, which has been printed, he thus presents the re-
sult :—" From my experience of predatory crime, founded
upon a careful study of the character of a great variety of
prisoners, I oonclu.de that habitual dishonesty is to be re-
ferred neither to ignorance, nor to drunkenness, nor to
poverty, nor to overcrowding in towns, nor to temptation
From surrounding wealth, nor, indeed, to any one of the
many indirect causes to which it is sometimes referred, but
mainly to a disposition to acquire property with a less de-
gree of labour than prOinory inAstry the italics are the

TILE STADE DUES.—The Hamburger Naehrieh-
ten publishes the following respecting the settlement of the
Stade Dues :—" It will be remembered that England pro-
posed the abolition of the Stade Dues at an indenini-
fication. of 3,000,000 dollars, of which England was
pay 1,000,0000 dollars, Hamburg 1,000,000 dollars,
and the other States to contribute the remainder. As
Hamburg •ehips seldom paid the Stade Dues, Hanover
thought at first that Hamburg would decline the proposal,
and hoped to obtain better conditions from England.
hamburg, however, justly considered that the abolition of
the dues would be greatly in the interest of the port of
xja,.mburg, and accepted the proposal. Hanover was then
accede.euxupurtist4thea The other States are now called upon to
Wets, Rolland ts said already to have giUn

DUBLIN, TULZSDAY MORNING.
ATTEMPTED MURDER IN THE ‘JOC INTY OF LONGFORD
The Evening Nail publi3hes the following ac-
count of an attoupted assassins;; ;ion in the County
of Longford ou Saturday night last :
" Longford, Sunday.—l reg.] -et to state that a
daring outrage was committee L near Edgeworth-
stown last night, when Mr. G' forge W. Slator, of
Oartron-lodge, was fired at, and had a narrow
escape of his life.
" Mr. Slator had been to Dublin, and returned
by the evening_ train to Edgeworthstown, where
his car met him to take hirii home at half-past
eight o'clock. Mr. Slator Nvt- Ls accompanied by his
driver only, and on reachir .g his own gate a man
came from behind the wall, went up to Mr. Slator,
and fired a pistol at him. He jumped off the car,
when he was assailed by another man who came
also from behind the wart and fired at Mr. Slator.
The ball with which th,e pistol was loaded passed
through a heavy frieze coat which Mr. Slator wore,
and carried away some of the cloth. Mr. Slator
was providentially un injured. The police came
up speedily, and are busily engaged in search of the
offenders. I will send you any further particulars
I may learn of this diabolical outrage.
" Mr. Slator was served with a threatening no-
tice in May last, warning him that a gun was ready
for him in case he persisted in removing certain
tenants then under ejectment."
The account published in a morning journal is ,
somewhat more minute in its details. It says :
" Having reached Edgeworthstown station Mr.
Slator got on his car, with his butler driving, and
on reaching his own gate, at about 8 o'clock, two
men rushed from behind the wall inside, one taking
either side of the car, and immediately asked, Is
Mr: Slator here ?' The servant replied, ' Yes ;' and
Mr. Slator, never apprehending any danger, also
said, Yes, I am.' Whereupon one of the assassins
exclaimed with emphasis, Mr. Slator,' and at the
same moment discharged a pistol so close to his in-
tended victim's head that the flash burned Mr.
Slator's -Cheek, and the slugs with which it was
loaded carried away part of the collar of his frieze
coat, tearing in on the shoulder also. Mr. Slator
was hampered at the time, his coat being strapped
round him, and a rug round his knees, while he held
his umbrella open in his hands. He jumped off the
car, however, as quickly as he could, made a thrust
of the umbrella at the assassin, and turned round to
follow him, when a second assassin met him imme-
diately behind the car, and fired another pistol,
loaded with a ball, which passed through the breast
of his outside frieze coat, carrying the piece clean
through into the folds of the inside coat, but glanc-
ing off harmless: The miscreants then ran off."

2.701,;-LIABILITY OF COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS FOR LOSS OF

•
PROPERTY-COSTER V. BROWN.
In i case plaintiff :3ought to recover 20s , the value of
a hat, alleged to have been lost upon defendant's premises.
Plaintiff said he went with some friends to have some
oysters at defendant's rooms in Aldgate. He placed his hat
behind the chair upon which he was sitting, but finding it
in the way of persons coming in and going out gave it to a
waiter, who put it on a peg. When plaintiff was about to
leave he found upon the peg a hat not worth twopence, but
his own had disaprcared.
His Honour—How do you make defendant liable ?
Plaintiff—l gave it to his waiter.
Mr. Cranch, of London-street, urged that to make de-
fendant liable ho must let beds. It had been so laid down.
Defendant was not an innkeeper.
His Honour—That is so; defendant must have a verdict
with costs.

NON-LIABILITY OP PUBLICANS FOR LOSS OF PROPERTY•

BAWLEY V. HARRIS.
In this case Mr. Nash, for the plaintiff; stated that a coat
had been left at the bar of a public-house kept by defendant
in Barbican, and it had been lost.
Mr. Buchanan, for defendant, said he would state his
defence at once. In the first place, this was a gratuitous
bailment ; and, in'the second place, plaintiff had sued the
bar-maid instead of the mistress.

Plaintiff was called, and said on the 7th August last be
was in Barbican, and calling in at defendant's public-house
handed his macintosh coat to the barmaid. She put it
under the bar, and when he called a few days afterwards it
had disappeared.

- -
His Honour—Did you give the barmaid anything to take
care of the coat ?
Plaintiff—No.

His Honour —You cannot recover.
Verdict for defendant.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL

BOW STREET.
ROBBERY AT THE WAR -OFFICE.—Edwin Davenport
was placed before Mr. Corrie, on remand, charged with
stealing a salt-cellar and various other trifling articles from
ti.a War-Office.

The prisoner, it appeared, was employed from the Office
of the Board of Works relaying the carpets in the War-
Office, after the different offices had been cleared, and from
time to time various small articles were missed from the
place ; at last the prisoner was suspected, and, on being
watched, he was seen to secrete a saltcellar. On the pri-
soner's apartments being searched the missing salt-cellar
was found, together with an official copy of the report on the
Army Estimates and Army List. A number of other small
articles were discovered, which it was suspected had been
stolen, amongst them three small paintings which had the
name and address of a Miss Julien, who was a student at
the Kensington Museum. On proceeding to that lady's
address, the police were informed that the pictures had
teen left by that lady in the school of the Museum, pre-
vious to its closing for the vacation.

Sergeant Selley, of the B division of police, said he had
charge of ;the Museum for a portion of the time it was
closed to the public. The prisoner had been at work
there during the time the school was closed for the vacation,
and during that time prisoner must availed himself of the
opportunity of stealing the pictures.

On being asked what he had to say to the charge, the
prisoner merely asked one of the witnesses from the War
Department whether he could swear to the books being the
property of the office, which question was answered in the
affirmati7.
Mr. Corrie committed the prisoner to the sessions for
trial.
