The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last
annual general meeting a report was made to them for the
quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus
was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1807, after deduction of this

NONCONFORMIST DEPUTIES.

The half-yearly meeting of the deputies of the
three denominations of Nonconformists was held on
Wednesday in Cannon-street, London, Mr. Charles
Reed, M.P., being in the chair. He observed that
two or three measures of importance had been before
Parliament since they last assembled. Sir J. D.
Coleridge's Tests Abolition Bill had passed trium-
phantly through the Commons, and though it was
rejected by the Lords, the time was not far
distant when the great universities of the
country would be thrown open to all classes.
After alluding to the Endowed Schools Bill, the
Burials Bill, and the Sunday Schools Exemption
Bill, Mr. Reed referred to the action of the Noncon-
formists with respect to the Irish Church Bill, which
he hoped would now be withdrawn, and the fight re-
newed in the autumn. Mr. Glover thought it would
be better to have the question settled now. He was
amazed at the course pursued by the House of Lords,
since the greatest enemies of the Church, and,
indeed, of Protestantism itself, could not have done
more to injure it. Resolutions supporting the
Government and expressing the thanks of the Non-
conformists to Sir J. Coleridge and Mr. Forster for
their Parliamentary labours wero unanimously
agreed to,

MR. AYRTON ON EMIGRATION.

In addressing the National Emigration Aid Society
a day or two since, Mr. Ayrton said that it was a
compliment to a man to point out to him the benefit
of emigration. It was a difficult question to decide
whether the Government should aid emigration or
not. The metropolis was quite rich enough to do all
that was required, only the rich had contrived to
drive all the poor to the East-end of London. He
thought there were grave objections to Government
aid; it would create fresh taxation, and degrade
intending emigrants to the position of Queen's
beggars.

TIIE UNIVERSITIES AND BETTII G.

"An Oxford Tutor of thirty years standing"
writes to the Telegraph about the spread of the
betting mania in our Universities. Ile says that
there are no eminent scholars at Oxford now; the
undergraduates do not care to read much; the class
lists are shrinking deplorably; the whole tone of the
Universities is lowered. This deterioration is
brought about by the love for betting and sporting,
rather than learning and thinking. Men at Oxford
learn how to do that which is sure to lead to their ruin.
They are allowed to possess Derby favourites, and their
friends support their horses. The Marquis of Has-
tings, the Duke of Newcastle, and another nobleman,
whose name has come more recently before the
public, learnt at Oxford from the "horsey " firms
into whose hands they fell that which has since
caused their sad circumstances to be so often discussed.
Cannot something be clone to alter the present state
of things The "Oxford Tutor" thinks there can.
" Let a statute be passed to the effect that any under-
graduate who is found to be in possession of a race-
horse shall instantly be expelled the university, and
the common sense of undergraduates will at once
tell them that this is a law which they must not
transgress. In the meantime, so low has our disci-
pline at this moment fallen, that, for the first time
within my recollection, the recent Commemoration
was not permitted to proceed, but was summarily
suspended by reason of the insubordination of the
undergraduates."

UNIVERSITY TESTS BILL.

A letter has been addressed to some of the papers
by seven Fellows of Colleges on the rejection of
the University Tests Bill. They declare that the
House of Lords is avowedly at variance with public
opinion in this matter as in some others. They have
refused to discuss a proposal of University Reform
made by University men ardently attached to the
institutions they are desirous to amend, and it remains
to be seen whether it would not be easier to force on
the Peers a measure for the sweeping abolition of all
tests than to induce them to accept the mildest com-
promise.
tne same subject,. and considers thatthe question might
have rested for some years had the present bill been
carried, but that we must now look for a much more
logical bill next year. The measure to be intro-
duced should be compulsory, and all dignities and
preferments thrown open. Many reforms can be
carried out only by a parliamentary commission, but
he thinks that the removal of obstructions which
now restrain all progress must be the work of a
thorough Act of Parliament.

AN INCENTIVE TO CHAitITY.

The Morning Star calls attention to what is
certainly a piece of thorough flunkeyism, and one
which is becoming very common now. At the
Dramatic Fête which is to be held in the Crystal
Palace, the Princess of Wales is to receive purses of
in aid of the charity. The money will be given by
young ladies into the hands of the Princess.
The inducement to give is, it will bo
observed, not the excellence of the object, but
the opportunity of touching the kid gloves of
royalty. In fact, it is not charity, but flunkeyism,
which is appealed to.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES.

The Democrats of Ohio have passed a resolution in
favour of paying the debt in greenbacks—a foolish revival
of a settled and worn-out question, which is likely to do
them infinite harm. It was bad policy on the part of
some of the Republicans to attempt to get up a cry for
war with England, but it is scarcely less unwise to drag
Repudiation from its well-merited grave. On the other
hand, the Ohio Democrats have shewn themselves far-
sighted in denouncing the Protective system. They have
passed a resolution calling for the closest possible approxi-
mation to Free Trade.

THE EXHIBITION AT A3ISTERDA3S.

British exhibitors muster in very considerable force at
he Industrial Show of Holland. They are above 200 in
lumber. For once British administration has outshone

that of continental nations ; our department was ready
first, and consequently is at present the most attractive
sight in the Amsterdam Crystal Palace. Though the
Exhibition is almost wholly of domestic industry, some
splendid trophies are arranged out of these comparatively
humble materials. That of Messrs. Dodge, of Sheffield,
is of surprising splendour. "It is of colossal proportions,
and presents such a multitude of Sheffield manufactures
as takes away the breath of the rough labouring Dutch-
man, who gazes in silence on these tremendous circluar
saws, straight saws, curved saws, saws with gilded handles,
knives of all conceivable size and shape, scissors big
enough to cut a shawl in two, and little enough, with gold
handles, to hang upon a watchchain, drills, scoops,
punches, razors, useful and de luxe ; and, in fact, every-
thing that can possibly be' contrived out of steel. On the
opening day it was some time before the Prince's proces-
sion left this splendid illustration of English industry."
}To machinery at work is allowed in the building.

EXPLOSIVE SUBSTANCES.

In a paper addressed to the French Academy of
Sciences, M. F. A. Abel examines the rapidity, greater
or less, with which, under different circumstances, explo-
sive substances will change their state. If, for instanct,
gun-cotton be set fire to in the open air by the action of Vt
source of heat exceeding 135 deg. Centigrade, at a small
distance, the inflammable material being uncompressed,
in a woolly state, the deflagration is rapid, and almost
instantaneous ; a dull sound accompanies it, together with
an evolution of gas and steam. If, on the contrary, the
gun-cotton be spun or woven, or in the shape of paper,
the combustion in the open air is much slower. If by
pressure the pyroxyle be transformed into a compact-
i.nass, its consumption by fire it still more retarded, and it
may be even reduced to a smouldering state without any
production of flame. If it he lighted in a rarefied atmo-
sphere, the same causes will render its decomposition
slower in proportion to the degree of vacuum effected.
If, on the contrary, the evolution of the gaseous sub-
:tances be retarded by enveloping the cun-cotton in paper,
or in a vessel iinperfe,:tly closed, 1., « of heat
until the vapours have attained a sufficient pressure to
pen a passage through the obstacle, whereby an
is obtained, the violence of which is in proportion to
the time employed. Similar phenomena are observable in
other detonating substances. A small quantity of fulminate
of silver enclosed in a thick metallic box will explode
-with much greater violence than if it he wrapped up in
tinfoil, or left in the epen air. If iodide of nitrogen be
Lal:en, its power will be immensely increased by enclosing
it in a sort of plaster of-Paris howitzer shell. Chloride of
nitrogen will explode Lut feebly unless protected from
contact with air ; and if this agent is universally con-
sidered to be the most dangerous of all detonating sub-
stances known, it appears that this opinion is owing to its
haying hitherto been always manipulated under water.
Put three or four drops of it in a watch-glass, cover them
with a thin film of water, and you obtain, by contact with
a little turpentine, so violent an explosion as to reduce the
glass to powder. Repeat the same experiment without
the water, and the glass will scarcely ever be even cracked.

THE GREENWICH ELECTION.

In the case of "Letts v. Carttar," before Mr. Baron
Channell and a common jury, in the Court of
Exchequer, the well-known publisher of " Letts's Diaries,"
carrying on business at the Royal Exchange and New-
cross, sued the defendant, a solicitor at Greenwich,
and coroner for Kent, to recover £ll2 4s. 4d., being the
balance of an account for printing and stationery in con-
nection with the candidatures of Viscount Mahon and Sir
Henry Parker for Greenwich at the last election. The only
question was whether the debt was incurred by Mr.
Carttar personally, or as agent for the Central Conservative
Committee for conducting the election. In the course of
the trial it transpfied that Lord Mahon had offered to
pay the money, but refuse,d to pay the costs. Mr.
Baron,Channell said as the case was by no means free from
doubt, and as he was not sure that he ought not to nonsuit
the plaintiff, he thought the plaintiff would be wise if he
accepted that offer. Mr. Seymoursaid his client thought that
the defendant ought to pay half the costs. Mr. Baron
Channel : " I cannot ask the defendant to do that."
Ultimately a cheque for £ll2 4s. 4d. was handed over
to the plaintiff in satisfaction of his claim, and the jury
by consent were discharged.

THE CHIEF CONSTABLE OF BIRKEN.-
HEAD CHARGED WITH FORGERY.

On Monday, at the Mansion House, Major Frederick
Beswick, the chief constable of Birkenhead, was brought
before the Lord Mayor on a warrant, in custody of Detec-
tive-sergeant Webb, charged at the instance of the
Governor and Company of the Bank of England with
forging and uttering on the 24th February last a power of
attorney to transfer a share and interest in stock then
transferable at the Bank of England, to the amount of
£4,216 13s. 4d., Three per Cent. Consols, standing in the
names of Henry Thomas Maxted and Frederick Beswick
in the Bank books with intent to defraud.
_ .

.
It appeared that the stock was a trust fund left by a
Miss Condy, of Gibraltar, and in the month of
March last the prisoner obtained a power of attorney
for the transfer of a portion of it, which purported to be
signed by himself and Mr. Maxted, who resides at Gib-
raltar, but on the usual notices being sent out by the Bank
a correspondence took place with Maxted which resulted
in the apprehension of the prisoner on Saturday. Some
preliminary evidence having been given the prisoner was
remanded. Bail was refused.

STIMET OUTIIA E.

A laity, writing to the Times, records a case at the
Central Urhninal Court which was not reported in
the newspapers. It was a charge preferred by her
against two roughs. who attempted, very violently,
to rob her in Mid-day sonic time since. She
resisted, and suer...eeded in getting two of the roughs
captured, identifying them without doubt. They
were sent for. trial, and the bill was endorsed by the
grand jury. They were tried. before the Recorder.
lle expressed himself in his summing up decidedly in
favour of conviction; yet the jury found the prisoners
" not guilty." The judge was surprised, and declared
that if such verdicts were given there would be no
security,, for the public. The correspondent of the
hine3 is indignant, and tls!s if a lady walking in
mid-day close to her own house can be robbed and
seriously hurt, and after having to go through all
the miseries of prosecuting her assailants can obtain
no redress ? Moreover, if the villains are set at
large without correction, what security can there be
for life or property ?

to the money market. It counsels speculators to
beware of foreign stocks. The country has been con-
gratulating itself on the revival of trade, the return

monetary depression. L'ut if the rally News is to
be believed, our hopes have been groundless.
What waa Hien as. a Sian of the return
of better things is rather otherwise. The
money which has been wanted has not been circu-
lated at home at ail. We have in England been
stricken to sonic extent with the mania, pre-
vails more extensively on the Continent for foreign
bonds. At present there seems to be a good chance
of " malzing a hit" in foreign stock, and so money
has been going to the United States, Russia., &c.
If these speculations go on, they can only end again
in ruin and further depression. The action of the
Rank of England in raising the rate of discount
has, therefore, boon won timed, and will be, of the
greatest use if it cheeiz the outflow of money. A
further rise is c:lpcetcd,

LIFE PEERAGES BILL.

Earl Russell proposes to alter his Life Peerages Bill in
committee. He will move that the description of the
classes of persons from whom peers for life are to be selected
be struck out, and that the recital stand as follows :
" Whereas it is expedient that peers created for life on
account of their eminent merits or distinguished services to
their country, should in limited number be entitled to sit and
vote in the House of Lords." Lord Cairns, assenting to
the description of classes being struck out, proposes the
following recital :—" Whereas it is expedient to afford,
under certain restrictions, facilities for the introduction into
the House of Lords of persons distinguished in the services
of the State, or who from their attainments or official
position are likely to add weight to the deliberations of
the House, and who may not be desirous to undertake the
burden of an hereditary peerage." Lord Cairns, also.
instead of allowing four such creations in a year until there
are twenty-eight in existence, proposes that after one such
peerage shall have been created in any year, no other such
peerage shall be created in the same year, unless the person
to whom the same is granted shall at the date of the patent
hold one of the following offices :—Lord Chancellor of
Great Britain, Secretary of State, President of the
Council, Board of Trade, or Poor - law Board, Post-
master-General, or Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan-

caster.

have travelled the country through, and have spent lags
sums of money in attempting to get up a reactionary

Francisco, the ex-Queens husband, has for ones asserted
his feeble authority, and has forbidden any more experi-
ments of this kind. The cause of Don Carlos, such as it
is, has of course prospered in proportion as that of Isabella

A COLONIAL COVERNOIL ON COLONIAL POLICY.

Mr. E. A. Weld, the late Prime Minister of New

Western Australia, was entertained at a banquet or
Saturday evening. The Colonial Secretary war

present. The only important soeeeb. was made by Mr
Weld himself, lie gave as the reason for his selec-
tion that the views which he had on colonial policy
were in accordance with those of the Governinent.

expounding his opinion—that every colony should be
allowed to developo its self-reliant qualities. As
they were allowed to chew themselves independent,
so would the sympathy and the interest of English-
men be obtained.

MILITARY EDUCATION.

The Commissioners of Military Education have
just been visiting Woolwich. It is believed
that the proposal to amalgamate Sandhurst
with Woolwich has been relinquished, that. the
Cadets' College, at Sandhurst, if not abolished,
will be modified into the collegiate system ; and that
the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich will be
continued under a different regime. It has been
propoSed that before admission to Woolwich the
cadets will have to be thoroughly proficient
in thooretioal knowledge, ruoll as mathematics.
languages, &c., and receive instruction only in
practically fitting them for the Royal Engineers-and
the Royal Artillery. Should this proposal be adopted,
the cadets on admission will be temporarily com-
missioned as sub-lieutenants, and become amenable
to the Articles of War; and any subsequent mis-
conduct will render them liable to trial and punish-
ment by court martial. The effect of this alteration
would be to render the cadets more proficient and
settled, and lessen the working staff and number of
professors.

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Whips on either side of the House of Com-
mons are trying to keep their men from running
away before the 'Whitsuntide holidays really com-
mence. They have both issued programmes for the
next few days, and intimate that the business is im-
portant. The Conservative circular makes especial
reference to the O'Sullivan Bill.

THE CARLTON CLAM AND THE CONSERVATIVE

crri ~.

Tbc Ackertis6r says there was not only a crowded,
but an excited, meeting of the " Carlton " on Satur-
day last. "Nothing could have been more warmly
debated than the proposal t) have portraits of Lord
Derby and Mr. Disraeli painted for the club. as a
slight recognition oi' the eminent services ' rendered
by these distinguished statesmen' to the Conservative
cause ; but for some reason or other the proposition
failed to meet with the full measure of support which
its originators expected, and the motion was with-
drawn."

THE ARMY AND THE PRESS.

A correspondent of one of the metropolitan dailies
calls attention once again to the Queen's regulation
which prohibits tile making of anonymous com-
plaints, or " publishing anything " through the
medium of the press calculated to excite discontent
in the army. The immediate result of this rule is
that grievances go on year by year almost unheard
of. There is practically no other way of obtaining
redress—to write to the newspapers is the usuaY
way with all other classes—and consequently the
best soldiers are in haste to leave the army. Brand-
ing, which was thought to be abolished, lived fo.
years through this regulation. Is there no way of
modifying it?

BELGIIIN.

The Belgian Cabinet is in difficulties. M. Bara, the
Minister of Justice, recently resigned, not on account of
the railway dispute, but because the Senate passed a law
abolishing imprisonment for debt. This, says the
correspondent of the Herald, has caused serious embar-
rassment to the Ministry. A crisis is possible, unless
M. Barn will withdraw his resignation, and this he de-
clines to do, unless the Senate, which has shewn personal
hostility to him, be dissolved.

CARLIST RISING AT BARCELONA.

The news from the south of Europe is nothing more
than an endless succession of plots and conspiracie3.
There is now no doubt that the Spanish Government has
been just in time to prevent a very formidable outbreak at
Barcelona on behalf of Don Carlos. The Inth,pcndance
Iklge says that above a hundred arrests were
made, two colonels and many other oflicers of
various grades being amongst the number. Some
of these officers were employed on active service. The
prisoners also include several monks and priests. Arms
and documents—brevets appointing officers, bearing the
signature of Don Carlos, and decrees nominating persons
to the civil appointments of Catalonia—were also seized.
Barcelona is in a state of great agitation. The wealthier
inhabitants are rapidly seeking a quieter and more secure
residence.

OUR NEW INDIAN POLICY.

The Bombay Gazette is informed that a British president
is to be established at Herat. The post is to be filled by
Major Pollock, Commissioner at Peshawur. The Gazette
very justly terms this " startling news." The project of
founding a residence at Cabul was thought bold, but
Cabul is at no great distance from the Indian frontier,
whereas Herat is far on the other side of Affghanistan, and
close to the Persian boundary. Nevertheless, the scheme,
if properly carried out, promises some advantages. If wo
are to have a resident to watch Affghan politics, he might
as well be established at Herat, for there he could watch
,Persian politics alio, and as Persia is in league with
Russia—the Shah is • the Czar's vassal, in fact—this
point is of great moment. "There can be no
doubt," says the Gazette, " that the Ameer's visit
to India has offended the Shah ; there can be little
doubt, also, that the Shah has a desire to encroach en
Affghan territory, and one of the prominent things which
the Atneer thought it necessary to seek from the British
Government was protection against Persia. It seems that
the ex-Ameer and his nephew, Abdool Rahman, the per-
sonage who was lately defeated by Shere Ali, has escaped
and got clear off to Persia, where they are now meditating
a fresh raid on Affghanistan with the aid of the Shah.
Shere Ali is fully alive to the dangers which menace
him, and is making great preparaticn 3 at Cabul.
