THE BILL ON EVIDENCE.

The Godrich case is likely to strengthen cone:-
derably the hands of Mr. Denman in the passage of
his Evidence Bill. That one jury should find two
persons guilty of crime, that two other juries should
exonerate the accused, and that a fourth should be
very doubtful about the matter, is certainly not at
all satisfactory. Mr. _Denman writes to say that his
bill wants no amendments to make it possible for
the whole case—the stories of the accused as well as
the accusers—to be laid before the first jury.

HONOURS.

The Owl states that, " as a part of the plan for the
extension of the Order of St. Michael and St. George
(the Colonists' Order), the Earl of Derby, Earl Grey,
Earl Russell, and Viscount Monck will receive the
G.C.M.G." . The three first of these have filled the
office of Secretary of State for the Colonies, and it is
to be presumed that they, as well as the late Governor-
General of Canada, will receive the Order to do
honour to it. For another reason—in order to do
honour to them, Lord Lyttelton, Sir F. Rogers, Mr.
Adderley, Mr. F. Peel, Mr. 'T. F. Elliot (cea ra .ans
dire), and Mr. Henry Taylor will be made Knights
Commanders. Lord Lyttelton is the founder of the
Canterbury settlement, No* Zealand, and he, Mr.
Peel, and Mr. Adderley have filled the office of
Under-Secretary for the Colonies. Sir F. Rogers is
Permanent ..Under-Seeretary. Mr..T.Aliot is an Elliot.
Mr. henry Taylor, the poet, has been in the Colonial
Office forty-five years.

TUE CJOVERNMENT AND LECUSLATION.

The Owl announces that the Government will
introduce a bill for the registration of trade-marks ;
that Mr. M'Mahon's Poor Law (Ireland) Bill, whose
object is to substitute union rating for that by elec-
toral divisions, will be referred to a select committee;
and that Mr. Stansfeld will probably succeed Mr
Hamilton as Permanent Secretary to the Treasury.

This Hospital, founded iu the year 182$, the first to
establish the principle of free 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 i
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.

A VENERABLE PLURALIST.

The death of Archdeacon Croft has already been
announced. The Times says that the deceased. dig.
nitary was one of those who have found Godliness to
be great gain, and who have always been devotedly
attached to the Established Church. Besides his
canonry, which is reputed to be of the annual value
of £l,OOO a year, and which he had held since 1825,
the Archdeacon was incumbent of two of the best
livings in the gift of the Archbishop of Canterbury,
viz., Saltwood, near Ilythe, which is valued in the
Clergy List at £784, and Cliffe-at-Hoo, near Roches-
ter, valued at £1,297. He had enjoyed the former
of these since the year 1812, and the latter since 1818.
It is calculated that the Archdeacon had received
during the sixty years he had been in orders
£160,000 from the revenues of the Church, besides
occasional windfalls. He was not a distinguished
divine; he never, in fact, published even a sermon;
but he was the son-in-law of Archbishop Manners-
Sutton. Compared with such splendid dowries as
this all modern nepot'sm seems mean and despicable.
Is it not sad to think that in these days no arch-
biAop would dare to promote his sJu-in-law or
grandson to more than two preferments at the out-
side If,.democracy continues to make such strides
as it has made of late years, pluralism will actually
be impossible. -

ENGIJSII AND I'IIENCII

An interesting account of a trial between. the
Hen ty-)itirtini and the Chassepot rifles has just been
published by the Eoval Artillery Institution. From
the trial, which took place at 'Woolwich, it appears
that, as regards accuracy, the Chassepot was
greatly inferior to the English arm. The worst
target made with the Iknry-Martini at 500
yards was 1.62 feet ; the best with the Chasiepot
was 2.38 feet. The best target with the Henry-
Martini shewed a still higher degree of accuracy,
viz., 0•96 feet. In simplicity of manipulatiox the
English rifle is superior, and it is far less fatiguing
to use. In firing for rapidity, the Chassepot gave
20 rounds in I min. 42sec. ; the Henry-Martini, 20
rounds in 48sec., or more than twice the rapidity.
The Chassepot ammunition is lighter than that of
the English, rifle, in consequence mainly of the
bullet of the former weighino. 380 grains only, against
480 grains. The lightness of French ammunition
appears to be the only point in. its favour, and
against this many set' the following advantages on
the side of the English rifle :—lncreased strength
and safety of ammunition, greater accuracy, longer
range, flatter trajectory, higher penetrative power,
greater safety, strength, and simplicity of construc-
tion, and increased rapidity of fire. It would have
rendered the trial more interesting if the Prussian
needle-gun and the Snider rifle had also been tested
on the occasion. •

THE SONS OF THE CLERGY.

The 215th festival of the Corporation of the Sons of the
Clergy was held on Wednesday. There was, as usual, a
special service at St. Paul's. An eloquent sermon was
preached by the Rev. T. J. Rowsell, rector of St. Mar-
garet's, Lothbury, from St. Matthew x., 9, 10 ; and the
collection amounted to £173. In the evening the Merchant
Taylors, in accordance with their custom, entertained the
supporters of the Corporation at their magnificent Hall;
in Threadneedle-street, the Lord Mayor in the chair.
There were also present the Archbishop of Canterbury,
Earl Fortescue ; the Bishops of London, Llandaff, St.
David's, Ripon, and Norwich ; the Sheriffs of London ;
Aldermen Carden, Gabriel, Rose, Philips, and Sidney ;
Sir W. W. Wynne, Bart., M.P., Mr. Barrow, M.P., Sir
R. Baggallay, Q.C. ; Archdeacons Hale, Bicklrsteth, and
Clerk, and about 160 other guests. The Lord
Mayor having proposed the health of the Archbishops,
as President of the Corporation, the most rev. prelate, in
reply, denied that such institutions as these could be
charged with mendicancy ; for in every great profession
there must always be some who, in a worldly point of
view, were less successful than others, and whose families
needed help from the more fortunate. This corporation
annually assisted 262 poor clergymen, 457 widows,
403 single daughters, and 202 children, making
a total of 1,324 who every year participateC
in its benefits. It was said that there was not
now so much harmony amongst the clergy as used to
prevail. No doubt when men were in earnest there ap-
peared to be more difference of opinion amongst them
than in times of greater apathy and darkness ; but he be-
lieved that in a hearty desire to do their Master's service
there was more unanimity amongst the clergy than had
ever before been known. For his own part he believed that
the Church of England was likely to be long-lived. He did
not think that even the peculiar institutions of the Church
were likely soon to expire, but even if they died he felt
confident that the Church would long out-live them ; for
he believed it was deeply rooted in the affections of the
people of England, and that because the community saw
it was honestly striving to do its duty. The other cus-
tomary toasts followed, and donations were announced
amounting to the liberal sum of £1,186.

FINSBURY PARK.

Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. Torrens, said be bad re-
ceived a very large deputation with respect to the sale
of twenty acres of land which had original►y been
purchased for the laying out a park in Finsbury. Ho was
sorry to say be had no power to prevent the Metropolitan
Board of Works from selling the land, although it would
be detrimental to the park. The hon. member for Bath
had done all it was possible for him to do, but ho bad un-
fortunately failed. The right to sell of the Board of Works
was, however, ver3 questionable, and Le was afraid the
parties protesting again/it the sale would be compelled
to enter into legal controversy with the Board. He had
no power in the matter, and if they proceeded the length
of going into a court of law the memorialists would have
his best wishes and sympathy for their success.

Mr. TITS said be had done all in his power to prevet.t
the sale, but he had been defeated in the board on a divi-
sion by 24 to 16. The supporters of the proposed sale
were the representatives of large parishes, baying parks
of their own, so he supposed they thought nobody wanted
parks but themselves. The greatest portion of the money
with which the land was in the first instance purchased,
was taken out of the rating money, and not the coal
duties.
London, England, 1869-05-13

THE MAYOR OF CORK.

It is-to be hoped that we have now done altogether
with Daniel O'Sullivan, the late Mayor of Cork.
Instead of being a " martyr for the Constitution,"
instead of standing up and defying the House of
Commons, as his admirers seem to have thought
he would do, he has collapsed utterly—has
very meekly, but none the lens wisely, re-
signed his office. Ilis submission does not seem
to have been brought about without . difficulty. He
was fully prepared to defend himself almost up to
the last moment. He suddenly changed his mind
about appearing in person, 'and—notwithStanding
that he denounced his Cork friends- as traitors for
suggesting such a thing—retained Mr. Edward
Keogh, the brother of the judge, to speak
for him to the HouSe. • But he has now
resigned ; and the Government and the country
are well rid of him. The :public will have to
pay for sending him away, however. The Treasury
have a bill of t 2,500 " to expenses in re the Mayor
of Cork." Attention will now be turned to the city
itself, to see what new mayor the Corporation will
choose. There is much anxiety expressed on the
subject. The ultra-Liberal party is strong, and may
elect such another
,firebrand as has just 'been
given up. But it would be difficult to discover such
another ; and moderate counsels, it is to be hoped,
will prevail. Two more threatening letters have
been received by Alderman Lyons, who brought the
matter before the Council, and Mr. Collins, another
town councillor, has also received an intimation that
assassination may be anticipated:

TUE O'CONNELL CELEBRATION.
The ceremony which is to take place in Dublin on
Friday, on the occasion of the removal of Daniel
O'Oonnell's remains, does not seem likely to become
a dangerous demonstration. As many Protestants
and Tories as can overlook the celebration of High
Mass are to be present, the Lord Mayor of Dublin is
to attend, and the llOinan Catholic Bishop of Down
and CO/lltOk ha's promised his presence. Archbishop
Manning expresses his sympathy with what is to be
done, and, as no opposition will be raised, no bad
feeling. it seems probable, will be excited.
London, England, 1869-05-13

CAPITAL AND LABOUR.

/s it possible to send into everlasting oblivion the
antagonism between labour and capital? Messrs.
13riggs, of Whitwood Collieries, who boast of having
done so in their own individual case, make a.proposal
of universal application. Its gist is expressed in a
term which they use, " labour-capital." They would
treat labour as a thing invested, and having as much
right to participation in good profit as capital.
They propose that the wages given to the men shall
1 be equal to that received for the same work in the
neighbourhood. The income derived by the proprie-
tors must be fixed according to the capital invested,
at a rate, also similar to that taken by other pro-
prietors in the same district. Then if any further
capital remains, it shall be divided as a bonus in the
form of an equal percentage over the aggregate
amount of " invested capital " and of wages or
salaries ( " labour-capital") earned during the period
in which such profit has accrued. How about the
losses?

FOREIGN NOTES.

SETTLEMENT OP THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.

After months of uncertainty and danger, the revolu•
tionary leaders have at length agreed upon a form of
government. They have been unable to find a king, and
they now abandon the thankless search. Marshal Serrano
will be appointed sole Regent of the kingdom, and
will govarn with the aid of a Ministry, of which
Prim will be the President. At present, however, the
Cortes has not arrived at that portion of the constitution
which is to determine whether the Government shall be A
Monarchy or a Republic. The deputies are accordingly
to hold morning and evening sittings—nine hours in all—
so as to get through the 33rd Article in the
course of the present week. On Tuesday they had
arrived at Article 31. The 33rd Article provides that
"Monarchy is the form of government adopted by the
Spanish nation." Immediately the Parliament has voted
this article—about which there will be a very heavy
debate—a motion will be brought forward to elect Serrano
as sole Regent. This being done, the Ministry will be
reconstituted.

The effect of this arrangement will obviously be that
Serrano becomes for life, or for so long as he may choose,
King of Spain. Should he die or resign, another regent
must be chosen, or, if Republican principles do not profit
by this compromise between Monarchy and Republicanism,
a hereditary king may be selected. But Prim will be the
chief ruler of the country. He will be President of the
Ministry, and he will have the command of the army—
the all-important influence in Spanish politics. Moreover,
Serrano cares nothing for power. He has been the visible
head of the Government Since the revolution, but he
initiates nothing. His influence is exerted chiefly in con.
ciliction and the smoothing down of difficulties, rather
than in the direct exercise of power.

In some quarters it is asserted that this arrangement
will be strongly opposed, and that Serrano himself dislikes
it. But the Times correspondent gives it as finally deter-
mined upon.

THE ISIS V. THE CAM.

Cambridge University hopes by improvinc, its
river to obtain means ere long of beating Oxfordt' in
the annual rowing match. Oxford objects to be
beaten ; and Sir George Bowyer, as representing it,
suggests that the Isis shall be improved as well as
the Cam. The Isis overflows its banks at uncertain
seasons; the inundation is unhealthy and incon-
venient. For £lO,OOO it might be prevented. Sir
George suggests that the money be immediately
raised by subscription.

TO TEE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir, —I am sorry to trouble you with so trifling !L
matter as the mistake by your reporter, who attri-
butes to me the use of the word " dearest" when
reading the letter addressed to me by the Mayor of
Cork. That letter commenced in the usual man-
ner, " My dear Mr. Maguire," and as it was wi itten
so was it read by me.

The exvlanation of the laughter is a very simple
one. I had been asked iu that imperative manner
very cowl-1100y employed when the house desires to
hear with accuracy to "speak up," and on my
rather emphatic c•mipliance with the manifest &sire
was rewarded with a good humoured burst of laugh-
ter, with which I certainly coil,' not have made
objection.

I troub!e you, however, in this triti:ng matter
more in the interest of another than myself.—l
sir, your obedient servant,

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—SamueI Darnell, a trail-cart
driver, and John Day, a horse-keeper in the employ of
Mr. M'Namara, contractor for horses to the General Post-
Office, were charged, the former with cruelty to a horse,
anti the latter with the same offence.

Mr. Thomas Beard, of Basiughall-street, defended.
It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Norman Leslie
Melville, a gentleman of independent means, that on the
21th of April at half-past five he saw a mail cart, No. 23,
with a horse in it dead lame, and evidently in great pain;
he took the number of the mail cart, and ,ave information
to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Joseph Dobie, an officer of the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals, said he was sent to the stable
where the horses stood that were driven in the mail carts
attached to the South-western District in Pimlico, and
asked what were the horses driven in No. 23 cart on the
21th of April, and a horse was shown him: Mr. Cherry
the police veterinary-surgeon was him. The horse Was'
lame all round, with large spaying on both hind legs.
Mr. Arnold dismissed the summons.

THE BELGIAN RAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

The Owl hears that M. l'rreOrban speaks in high
terms of the conduct of the Emperor during the recent
negotiations, and of the conciliatory course of M. de
'Lavalette. Nothing, however, is said. in favour of M.
Rouher, and this silence strengthens the impression..
M. Rouher adopted a very high-handed policy with
Belgium, and that the Emperor found it necessary to
undo his chief Minister's work. M. Fr;:re-Orban is
sanguine that the settlement agreed upon will be equally
satisfactory to both parties The Owl adds that this
happy result is largely owing to the good offices of the
British Government. The line taken by Lord Clarendon

had an important influence on the decision of the dispute.
It is, indeed, true that M. FKre-Orban's policy;which
has the support of King Leopold, is vehemently contested
by the clerical party, who are beginning to look with
favour upon annexation to France ; but no exceptional
importance is to be attached to these party differences.
The end of this railway quarrel can hardly fail toimprol's
the good relati ludAt- ern the tbree count riet4.
