THE SULTAN AND TILE KHEDIVE,

The Eastern Budget publishes a telegram from Vienna,
stating that the Austrian Government has most urgently
recommended the Viceroy of Egypt, through its agent at
Alexandria, Herr Schreiner, to assume a. conciliatory
attitude towards the Porte. It is added that the Viceroy
has accepted all the conditions laid down by the Turkish
Government with the exception of those relating to the
Budget and the contracting of new loans. All the great
Powers are agreed in their policy on this subject, and
that it is expected that their combined intervention will
succeed in inducing the Porte to *hew equal moderation
to that displayed by the Khedive, and thus enable
satisfactory settlement to be arrived at of the few points
which still remain at issue.

A MINERS' CONGRESS.

The miners of Staffordshire and Worcestershire
who have met in congress at Dudley, have given
much thought to the great project of establishing a
national amalgamation of the British miners. Some
of the delegates thought that a strong national union
would be able to bring such a power to bear on the
masters as would compel them to make provision for
the better prevention of colliery accidents. One
representative believed that such an organisation
would be the means of preventing strikes. He did
not say how ; but it is to be presumed that he expected
the miners to have the masters so completely under
control as to command their own terms. It was
agreed that agitation be commenced at once to pro-
mote this end. The men of Staffordshire and Wor-
cestershire have agreed to support the nailers on
strike as well as the miners of South Yorkshire.

AMMUNITION IN THE ARMY.

The Commander-in-Chief has taken a step to
prevent wholesale soldier-shooting. A general
order from the Horse Guards forbids the carrying of
cartridges by soldiers not on duty. -Henceforward the
service ammunition of the army is to be removed from
the pouches and placed in regimental expense maga-
zines. Guards and escorts, or parties detached in aid of
the civil power, will invariably have the requisite quan-
tity of ammunition served out to them before going
on duty. This supply is to be collected after the
duty has been performed, and returned into the
magazine. General officers commanding districts
May make exceptions to these rules; and at all
times a resp n3:ble person is to have the key of the
magazine, so th mt supplieS may be issued in cases of
emergency.

THE FACTORY ACTS.

it would appear that in the Derbyshire potterie
one of the principal objects of the Factory Acts i 3
to a great extent frustrated. Employers do not like
to be responsible for the education of children, and
they, therefore, employ very few under 13—children
below that age being under the operation of the
Factory Act, and obliged to divide their time between
work and school. Further, a correspondent states
that the parents are careless about sending them,
stating that " it is more trouble than it is worth for
a child to be upon half time." If a child were work-
ing the whole of his time be would probably earn
Bs. or 3s. Gd. per week. That amount, when it
comes to be divided between the two children
who thus share the day between them, leaves
but little for the parents after paying for their
schooling and the extra clothing they require.
The consequence is, says this writer, that between
parents and employers very few young children are
at work, and many are idling on the streets.
London, England, 1869-09-09

FENTANISM IN AUSTEALIA.

A difficulty has arisen in Vie:or:a respecting Mr.
Kenealy nne of the pardoned Venians. Mr. Kenealy,
when he ..;,,Ived the royal pardon, was in Western Aus-
tralia, and removed to Melbourne, being followed by some
thirty or forty of his associates. It was supposed
they intended to make Victoria their place of residence,
and the colonists were by no means gratified. By the
laws of Victoria any person convicted of felony can be
forbidden to reside in the colony, and forced to depart;
but the difficulty of the situation is that the royal
pardon is supposed to override all disabilities.
The colonial law, of course, originated in the
reckless manner in which convicts were formerly released
by the Home Government, and the colonists, it is said,
feel so strongly on the subject that they are un-
willing to sanction its evasion by any felon,
even though his crime should have been a political one.
The Australians too have a strong dislike to Fenianism,
of which they have bad some unfavourable samples, and
they lave no wish to permit such an element of social and
political disturbance to exist in their midst. Under these
circumstances it setms likely that the Colonial Govern.
ment will be called upon to enforce the law of 1854 against
Mr. Kenealy and his assciates, but what action the Home
authorities will take in the matter is as yet uncertain.

panying his letter with the gift of a seventeen-barrelled

ALLEGED FORGERY.

A man of gentlemanly appearance was brought
before the magistrates at Lancaster, charged with forging
and uttering a promissory note for £1,500, with intent to
defraud Messre.W.Hennings and G. M. Simpson, financial
agents and bill discounters, of 45, Jermyn-street, London.
The prisoner is said to come from Seaforth,nearLiverpool,
and the gentleman whose name he is charged with forging is
Lieutenant Thomas Arthur Cooke, of the 17th Lancers.
Mr. G. M. Simpson, one of the prosecutors, said hereceived
a letter from the prisoner, dated the 20th of August, from
the Royal and Victoria hotel, Waterloo, asking to know
their terms for "lending £l,OOO on note of hand." The
letter then said, "kl,OOO clear I want, as I am going to
be married shortly. I will give £250. I have no bills out
in the world, and my private debts are under £lOO. lam
staying here shooting for a few days, being near a small
moor I have. So please address as above. . . Thomas
A. Cook, 17th Lancers. At Christmas I get my
company." Messrs. Hennings replied to the above
letter, and requested prisoner to come up to
London, but received a letter in reply, dated August
23, from the same hotel, in which prisoner said, "Your
letter reached me yesterday, but I sprained my ancle on
Saturday, and am at present a prisoner, and, besides, I
have numerous engagements in the north and Scotland
until my marriage next month. I send a good substi-
tute—my likeness—which will be easily recognised at
either of my clubs, the `Naval and Military' and the
' Wyndham.' My position, lieutenant in 17th Lancers,
at top of the list. Ido no not owe £l9O in the world,
but I have lived up to my income, and it will
cost me £l,OOO to get married. My income consists
of money derived from property left me by my father in
Southport and elsephere, and produces me an annual in-
come of X 3,000." The letter concludes by a statement
that the writer's " betrothed wife will have a handsome
jointure of her own," and a request that the necessary
documents might be forwarded to be signed. Further
correspondence ensued, the prisoner ultimately re-
moving to Lancaster, and dating a telegram from
" The Vicarage, Sept. 1;" and the result of the
negotiations was that a promissory note for £1,500
was forwarded to the prisoner, by which lie was to receive
£1,187, and to pay interest at the rate of ls. per £1 per
calendar month. This was returned by prisouer,,signed,
Thomas A. Cooke, 17th Lancers." Mr. Simpson's
suspicions were aroused, and on proceeding to Liverpool,
and afterwards to Lancaster, he found no such person.
there as Lieutenant Cooke, of the 17th Lancers. The:
police were communicated with, and the prisoner was
apprehended at Lancaster Post-office, where he had gone
to receive a letter directed to be addressed to him there.
The above facts were detailed in evidence. The prisoner
was remanded for a week, bail being refused.

TIIE ELECTION COMMISSIONS.

The commissioners at Bridgwater were told of/
Tuesday that the Liberals arranged, at the last elec-
tion, for a sum of £3,000 to be used in bribery,
to come in equal proportions from the " friends " of
Mr. Kinglalie and those of Mr. Vanderbyl. Nothing
was to be spent, however, unless the Conservatives
began to bribe. It is not clear that the latter condi-
tion was kept ; for on Bussell—whose evidence was'
among the first and most important taken—applying
for ££l2o, it was supplied without demur.
At Beverley a pasture master confessed to dealings
with a " mysterious stranger" at the election of 1857.
Two hundred pounds were handed to the witness to
" distribute as best he could." The money 'was used
on behalf of Sir henry Edwards. in 1860, a Loy
the son of Mr. Walker, the COneervative candidate,
brought the same gentleman ;Cat) to distribute.

THE EAT CIEL.,112111: ELECTION.

Sir Edward William Waticin Las, as was antici-

pated, come forward as a candidate fur Est Cheshire.
In his address he calls himself an " earnest Liberal;
and in proof cites his support of an extended fran-
chise, the voter's independence, economy, the aboli-

tion of Church rtes, and the discstablisliinent of the
Irish Church. Sir Edward promises in future to use
efforts to obtain a reform of the Irish land law.;, the
ballot, universal education, the establishment of a
Minister for Agriculture, the maintenance of free trade
and an inquiry into the working of international trea-
ties. In a long paragraph about the cattle plague, he
declares Lis opinion that means ought to be taken by
the Government for preventing its continuoi reintro-
duction, and that a clause should be kept standing by
which a rate might be levied in aid of farmers suf-
fering from loss.

TEE STATE CHURCH.

Mr. Watkin Williams, M.P. for the Denbigh dis-
trict, was not content with the disestablishment of
the Irish Church last session ; he wanted to get 3
declaration of the opinion of the house of Conunons
on the position of the Welsh Church also. But he
failed; advanced men generally kept silence, the
discussion which Mr. Williams commenced fell to the
ground, and that gentleman has been called to account
for raising the question. He replies by an expression
of his opinion rather than by an argument against
State churches generally. Ile believes that religion
would be purer without State interference, and on
that ground would abolish all Establishments. Going
further, the member for Denbigh lays down that it
is wrong for Governments to interfere between men's
consciences and God ; the endowment of a Church
which has not a hold on the affections of " thi
people " is, therefore, a scandalous wrong both to reli•
gion and the nation. The Establishment in Wales has
no such hold ; it should be disestablished. It is not
Wales merely in which this reforin is to be carries]
out, however. Scotland and England, Mr. Williams
thinks, will soon find themselves agitated by propo-
sals for the cessation of their State Churches.

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Another meeting of Albert policy-holders was
held in London on Tuesday. This assemblage gave
its approval to a plan for winding up the old com-
pany and forming a new one. The Daily .News regrets
the want of united action amongst the victims
of this catastrophe. It is indeed extremely
difficult to ensure co-operation amongst the members
of such a scattered body • but it is absolutely essential
to do so if the policy-holders are to have any control
over their wrecked property. Up to this point all
that the policy-holders have done is to come to an
agreement on two points ; that the scheme of
reconstruction proposed by the liquidators is bad,
and that Mr. Kirby ought not to retain his present
position. Of both these resolutions the Daily .11-e11..e
thoroughly approves ; but something more is needed.
If the policy-holders desire to oust Mr. Kirby
they must fix upon a successor. Further, they
must nominate a central committee which will
act promptly and unitedly, and which may prevent
the litigation with which the victims are at presenl
threatened.

The principal features of the new scheme whici.
was approved of at the London meeting are that a
eompan ybe formed with capital of £lOO,OOO in 100,000
shares of each, to be credited as fully paid up, and
issued as warrants to bearer, bearing 5 per cent.
interest, payable half-yearly. The warrants are to
be distributed amongst the policy-holders in propor-
tion to the present loss written off their debts or
policies. Each policy is to be reduced to its present
net value, and a policy in the new company to be
issued for such reduced amount ; the amount of the
new policy to be increased by the proportion of the
assets of the Albert Company as they are received.
Three trustees arc to be appointed, in whose name
all the assets of the old company, and 771 per cent.
of future premiums are to be invested in the best
securities—mortgage or Government and railway
stocks only being allowed. The present company is
to be wound up voluntarily, under the supervision of
the court.

MRS. STOWE AND LORD BYRON.

The controversy anent the Byron scandal has not
been confined to the eastern side of the Atlantic;
the United States press has taken no the matter
with, if possible, greater warmth, and more emphatic
energy than has been shown here. In this country
opinion has been somewhat divided ; in America the
press has been almost unanimous in condemning Mrs
Stove. They expected a " jolly row" in England
and denounced Mrs. Stowe with all the vigour foi
which the American papers are remarkable. Man)
of them declared there could be no truth in the
story; almost without exception they condemned
the revealer of it. Our own papers still
teem with correspondence on the subject. "T.
Arnold," of Oxford, takes up a ground in regard to
it characteristic of the Arnolds. He believes Mrs.
Stowe, and had himself guessed at " the truth" long
ago; but objects that the article in 111aemillait was
not necessary, ns it only feeds the " ignoble vulgar '
with something spicy. " Among millions of half-
instructed minds, for centuries to come, not
justice, but infinitely less than justice, will be done
to the character of one of England's great men'
lle points out, in support of his position, that Byronic
conduct has already in the very eye of men brought
upon him a punishment. Afflicted with remorse
and ennui durmg his whole life, he died just when
about to taste the cup of pure glory. Nothing more
was wanted that Mrs. Stowe could tell to serve the
interests of morality.

embracing three reefs between vertical strata of slate ars

THE ITALIAN CABINIT.

A telegram from Florence declares that in all probabi-
lity the Ministerial crisis is over, and that a reconciliation
has been brought about by the fear of producing a serious
effect on public credit. The news of the panic on the
Bourse in Paris, and the dismay which the intelligence
caused in Florence, might well contribute to the adjust•
ment of differences. The points in dispute have been
left for the decision of the Chamber at its approaching

MADRID, SEPT. 8.
The office of the Ministry of the Interior was
occupied to-day by the National Guard.

The Government had ordered the suppression of
a post of the National Guard, which aroused sus-

Several Deputies belonging to tl•e Republican

obedience among the mutineers.

At four o'clock this morning the post was given
up, and tranquillity re-established.

POLICE DOINGS.

Another awkward police case is reported—this time
from Mrlishire. The inspector of the local police
summoned a constable n:uned Welib before the
Wallingford magistrates on a charge of assault.
Webb, at the same time, summoned the inspector
for •brutal maltreatment. The inspector affirmed
that the constable was found drunk on his beat, and
that he had been removed to the station-house by
two of his brethren. The conatable maintained
that he was DerfectlY sober at the time of his

CARDINAL CULLEN AND THE ORANGEMEN.

Mr. Johnstone, M.P., has met Cardinal Cullen's
manifesto on education by a vigorous speech in
Antrim. Religious equality, he declared, had not
brought about that content which was expected.
Far from being satisfied with the disestablishment
of the Irish Church, Cardinal Cullen and his followers
had now opened a campaign in favour of educational
ascendancy. " An attemptwas being madeto put down
the anniversaries at Derry. It had been sworn that
5,000 lonian Catholics were organised and armed to
suppress them ; but the Orangemen would stand by
the men of Perry, end if necessary every Orange
ir,dge -would becoma a rifle club, :Ind man in the old
style the walls of that glorious Protestant city once
m-ore." Mr. .lolit.istone warns the Protestants to
beware or the Jt.:-incs now sowing dissensio,. between
them and the Protestants of England. Their object
is to profit by a conflict between the brethren of
England and Ireland.

TEE LAND QUEsTON.,

Mr. Johnstone may, if lie choesez, occupy
himself with something- more profitable than his
natural, but bootless, indignation at the manifesto of
the Roman Catholic prelate. Sir John Gray has
addressed a letter to the member for Belfast,
urging him, as the leader of the Orangemen,

INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS.

Lord Elcho suggests that the great bOat-race
should be supplemented by an international contest
of riflemen. He thinks there can be no difficulty in get-
ting a strong team of American mar::smen to follow the
example of the Harvard crew, and try the mettle of
our crack shots. Though the qualities of the -United
States riflemen are little known now, there must
be sonic good shots; for the rifle was forinerly
the favourite American weapon. By its help America
became a free state, and our colony a great nation.
But surely Lord Elcho cannot expect our cousins

AN AUSTRALIAN COURT.

The Australian papers tell us of a singular case in which
one of the -oldest and most respectable of the Sydney
papers, the Sydney Morning Herald, was engaged. The
captain of the ship Young Australian, was tried and con-
victed in May last for the manslaughter of three
Polynesian natives, whom be was conveying, among
others, to the Fiji Islands. A quarrel arose on board,
and the captain allowed some of the natives who bad
muskets to fire down the hold, by which three men were
killed. He was sentenced to seven years' penal
servitude, but some points were reserved for
the consideration of the full bench. The Herald,
commented on the case, and inserted a letter on 'he sub-
ject from the Rev. Dr. Steel, a Presbyterian minister.
For this the proprietors of the herald and Dr. Steel were
charged with contempt of court, and finad 2100 by way of
warning to the proprietors and publishers of other news-
papers, the judge's dictum being that until the criminal is
fully disposed of the press should not comment on the case.
Public feeling in Sydney is strongly opposed to this
decision.

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN.
The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole-
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from want
of room for stowage, every inch of available Taco being
occupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would be able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.
Contributions will bo thankfully received by the Trea-
surer, E.S. Norris, Esq., Shadwell ; or by

FATHER IGNATIUS AT BT. MAPPLE-
STRAND.

On Wednesday evening, the first-time tor many montns,
the Rev. J. L. Lyne, known as " Father - Ignatius,"
preached in a London church. Last year, it will be remem-
bered, he preached on Friday mornings at the church of
St. Edmund-the-King, Lombard-street, when he contrived
to offend the merchants and traders of that district to
such an extent that serious riots occurred. Dr. Tait,
the Bishop of London, issued an inhibition ag,aidst his
preaching any more in that church; but the right rev. pre-
late, on being advanced to the archiepiscopate, gracefully
took off the inhibition, leaving Mr. Lyne to his successor
in the bishopric. Mr. Lyne has not, however, availel him-
self of the freedom given to him, but has contented him-
self with lecturing occasionally at the Music Hall in Store-
street. Vast crowds assembled to hear him on Wednesday
night, and the large yard in front of the church was filled
with people, who vainly strove to obtain admission into the
church, which was densely crowded. Prayers were read
by the Rev. R. Gwynn°, and the lessons read by the Rev.
H. T. Howes, curate of St. Alban's Holborn. Father
Ignatius wore a plain surplice with the hood of Trinity
College, Glenalmond, but no stole, as be is not yet in priest's
orders. He selected for his text the 28th chapter of St.
Mathew's Gospel, verse 20— " Lo, I am with you alwav,
even unto the end of the world." Assoon as he hadgiven
out his text, there was a loud shout of "No Popery'
'from the outside, accompanied by whistling, cat calls,
and derisive laughter. This for a moment appeared to
disconcert the preacher, hut finding there were no dis-
turbers, he at once proceeded to speak of the present dis-
tracted state of the Christian Church. The offertory
collection was given to the Association for Promoting the
Union of Christendom. There was a good deal of noise
amongst the people who had assembled outside the church,
but nothing approaching to a riot.

RECONSTRUCTION OF THE IRISII CHURCH.

The Tines correspondent notes that the commu-
tation of the clergy's annuities is receiving much
attention from the members of the Irish Church. It
is clearly understood that the chief advantage o!
commutation will consist in the stimulus which
it is expected to give to the laity in subscribing to th•
endowment fund. But it is also recognised that before
the clergy can be expected to commute, the laity must
come forward with liberal subscriptions. Mr.
Valentine, of Belfast, enumerates several
of
the sources from which funds may be ac-
quired, including income from pew-rents ; life
insurances by those having fixed incomes,
and who might not find it convenient to
contribute largely in a bulk sum ; voluntary con-
tributions from the clergy. contributions from
the laity, and periodical collections in the churches.
From these sources he calculates that a capital sum
may be raised which, added to an esti▪
mated surplus
of £1,210,000 from commutation and £BOl,OOO, the
amount, with interest, of the surplus arising out of
the arrangements as to private endowments, will
produce a capital sum of nearly six mi▪ llions,

LONDON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 9, 1869.

Although the atrocious seusational libel on Lord
BYRON, which was set forth in Mrs. STOWE'S un-
womanly article (printed simultaneously on both
sides of the Atlantic, in an English and an American
magazine) has not merely been utterly discredited by
the great mass of the organs of public opinion in the
, United Kingdom and in the United States, but logically
and literally disproved by a great body of wholly
unanswerable evidence—there are some portions of
this more than simply cogent, of this perfectly con-
clusive evidence, which deserve now to be more ex-
pressly particularized. It will be remembered that
the statement made by the Messrs. WHARTON and
FORDS (Lady BYRON solicitors and the custodians of
her will) went clearly to show not only that Mrs.
;TOwE's narrative was wholly unauthorized, but was
(me going directly counter to the solemnly avowed
wrisl,es and injunctions of Lady 131-noN herself, as
expressed in her last will and testament. It will be re-
membered, again, that the extraordinarily interesting

PASSPORTS IN TURKEY.

The Turkish Government has vigorously carried out the
law which compels all foreigners who visit Turkey to pro-
vide themselves with passports. They were forced to
take this step in consequence of the new law on naturali-
sation and the extreme facility with which revolutionary
agents have crossed the Danube and the northern frontiers
of the Empire. This measure will not be oppressive to
honest travellers for when once they have passed the frontier
and established their identity by a passport, they will enjoy
perfect immunity on the Turkish territory, and undergo
no surveillance from the authorities. The foreigner is not
so fortunate in the other States of Europe, for he feels
himself constantly watched by the police. It must be
remembered also that, according to the custom of the
Ottoman Empire, the foreigner is only under the jurisdic-
tion of the laws of his own country. The local authority
has no power over him, and the system of passports fur-
nishes the only check that can be put on his proceedings.

visited by the outbreak of au extensive fire, which,
in a short space of time, laid in ruins property of
great value. The premises in which the disaster
originated belonged to Messrs.

oil and glass merchants, were ia the first-named
thoroughfare, and adjoining Butler's Wharf, and
also Coventry Wharf. The mains having been
drawn the land and manual-power engines were

aseatained. The damage done must amount to
several thousand pounds sterling.

POLICE IN TELLI G ENCE.-71.is Day.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

A DESPICABLE FELLOW. —Charles Cooling, a Belgian
interpreter, was charged tefore Mr. Knox with violently
assaulting Amelia Clements at No. b 6, Whitfield-street,
Tottenham-court-road.

Mr. Moore, from the office of the Associate Institute
for Improving and Potter Ecforcing the Laws for the
Protection of Women, watched the case.
The complainant, who bad been in the Middlesex Hos-
pital, was unable to attend when the prisoner was first
brought up. She now said (giving her evidence sitting)
that the prisoner, with whom she had been living, came
home, having been drinking, and on her telling him of it
he kicked her two or three times in the stomach. She
afterwards ran down stairs, and the prisoner pushed her
down stairs into the street. The was taken to the Middle-
sex hospital and discharged yesterday at her own request.
In answer to the prisoner, the complainant admitted she
threw an empty jug at him, he having previously broken
the door open, but that was not till after the priscner had
thrown water over her. She had been drinking with
another female.

A witness having proved seeing the prisoner kick the
complainant.

The prisoner said it was all a made up thing between
the complainant and the witness.
Police-constable Bowden, 97 E, said that on taking the
prisoner into custody he found the complainant bleeding
from the mouth and in groat pain. The complainant had
taken out two summonses against the prisoner.
Mr. John James S windell, house surgeon at the Middle-
sex Ilospital, said that the complainant must have had a
severe kick in the abdomen or she would not have been in
such a condition as she was when admitted into the hos-
pital.

In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said she was
an unfortunate, and had maintained the prisoner for two
years and a half.

Mr. Swindell said, in answer to Mr. Knox, that the in-
jury the complainant received was within an inch of being
a fatal one.

Mr. Knox said the complainant was a person living
by prostitution, and the prisoner not content with
living op the wages got in that way, brutally kicked her
two or three times in the stomach, and after what thoy
had heard from the surgeon, the prisoner might consider
him fortunate that he was not standing in another court
on his trial on a far more serious charge. The prisoner
would be committed for six months with hard labour, and
at the expiration of that term he would have to find
bail in £5O each for a term of six months.
