in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-

Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both. institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

GENERAL SICKLES.

The .2Vcw York. Tribune refers to the rumour that General
Siskles has withdrawn his note, and remarks that if it be
true it bids us expect some unusual concession from Spain,
rather than surrender from the United States. It has no
reason to think that the general has threatened the
Spaniards with wrath if they do not come to terms within
a specified time. It is possible that Spain may have pro-
posed that Cuba should elect deputies to the Cortes, but
the Cuban leaders would have rejected the scheme, under
the conviction that no fair election in Cuba is possible.

equivalent amounts of Perpetual Four per Cent. Deben-
ture Stock, and also to receive applications for allotments
of the same Stock, at par, to be applied in the repayment
of Debentures falling due.
Any amount of Stock, not being a fraction of a pound,
can be sibscribed for and transferred.
A commission of 4 (one-half) per cent. is allowed to ap-
plicants, and the Stock will be inscribed in the Company's
books free of all expense.

priority against the property and income of the Company
as the Debenture Bond Debt, ranking before the Com-
'pany's entire Stock and Share Capital of Thirty Millions
(£30,000,000), and will be the first charge on a net income

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.

The Times of India reports most favourable results frOm
the welcome rain which has fallen throughout the North-
West provinces. From Rajpootana, however, a territory
of 100,000 miles square, the accounts are still deplorable.
Tho vast herds of cattle which formed the mainstay
of the people two years ago, are reduced to a
miserable remnant, and the rain cannot now
enable the cultivators to raise moro than a few
patches of cereals; there will be no autumn crop of grain.
The Times insists on an immediate import of grain if a

remnant of the population is to be saved. It is no time to
count the cost when human beings aro dying by hundreds
Four men, it avers, are on their trial in this emergency,
and those four are the Viceroy and Sir William Muir on

the North, and Sir Seymour Fitzgerald and Colonel Kent-
age on the South. On them rests the responEibilitv of

the issuo.

THE SECRET OF SPIRIT-RAPPING.

A remarkable letter has been addressed to the Standard
by Mr, W. C. Faulkner, philosophical instrument maker.
He states that for many years he has had a largo sale for
spirit-rapping magnets and batteries expressly mado
for concealment under the floor, in cupboards,
under tables, and even for the interior of tho centre
support of large round tables and boxes. He has
supplied also quantities of prepared wire to be placed under
the carpets and oilcloth, or under the wainscot and gilt
beading around ceilings and rooms. All these, he says,
were obviously used for spirit-rapping; and the connec-
tion to each rapper and battery was to be made by means
of a small button, like those used for telegraphic bell-
ringing purposes, or by means of a brass-headed
or other nail under the carpet at particular patterns
known to the spiritualist. These rappers, ho adds,
when carefully placed, aro calculated to mislead the
most wary. Then there are spirit-rapping magnets and
magnets constructed expressly for the pocket; and these
he tolls us, will of course rap at any part of tho room.
He has also made drums and bells which will boat and
ring at command; but these two latterare not so frequently
used as the magnets are, because they aro too easily
detected.

IRATE RATEPAYERS.

Between peace and St. Pancras is a great gulf
fixed. Its municipal quarrels are matters of history.
As the guardians do not agree amongst themselves,
so do not the ratepayers agree with the guardians.
A party of the former have made an excursion to the
new colossal infirmary that is being erected
at Highgate at a cost of something like £;50,000,
which must come out of the excursionists' pockets.
The scale on which the infirmary, the whole of the
arrangements of which are admitted to be singularly
complete, has been carried out, led to some angry
comment's by the visitors, many of whom declared
that the infirmary was out of all proportion to tits
wants of the parish, and that the provision made
for sick paupers went beyond what the
srate-
payers could afford for their own families. Thera
scullery, was a roar of derisive laughter when it was

WESTMINSTER.

AN UNGRATEFUL RETURN.—Sarah Purchase, a young
married woman, was charged with embezzling same money
she had received, and also with stealing some articles.
Thomas Carter, of 53, College-street, Chelsea, furniture
dealer, said that he met the prisoner three weeks ago, and
healing that she was doing nothing expressed his desire
to serve her and took her to his house as servant. He and
his wife went out, leaving her in charge of the shop, and
last Wednesday he ascertained that during their absence
she had received 30s. for some furniture from a Mr. Smith.
She was asked about it, but declared she knew nothing of
it. Subsequently a motley box was missed containing
£1 in copper money. Some other things had also been
stolen. Enquiries were made after the prisoner yester-
day, and she was apprehended.
Police-detective Watts proved capturing the prisoner
last night at the Victoria Station, and finding a number of
duplicates upon her.
Prisoner said they related to property belonging to
herself.

Prosecutor said he had not yet ascertained the amoun
of his loss.

Prisoner admitted that she had received the 305., but
denied that she had taken anything else.
Mr. Ellison committed her for two months to hard
labour.

BOW-STREET.

Joseph Wells, a letter-carrier in the Lewisham office
was placed at the bar charged with stealing a letter, the
property of her Majesty's Postmaster-General.

It appeared from the evidence that great complaints of
lost letters arriving from Lewisham had been made. Mr.
Gardiner, one of the travelling officers of the General Post-
office, received instructions to make inquiry, and he accord-
ingly made up a letter containing a gold dollar piece, a
gold ring, and some postage stamps, which was
posted in the ordinary manner, and the letter in due
course came into the hands of the prisoner. On the
bag being opened, the letter he had made up, directed to
Miss Griffiths, Tunbridge Wells, was not amongst the
other letters. The prisoner was told that a letter had
been posted at the Manor Park letter-box and was missing,
but he denied all knowledge of it. He was afterwards
taken into custody, and, on being searched, the coin and
ring were found in the prisoner's pocket, and the stamps
at his lodgings. The prisoner, on the discovery, said he
had found them in the road near the letter-box.

The prisoner, on being asked what he had to say to the
charge, made no reply, and ho was therefore fully com-
mitted for trial.

THE BYRON CONTROVERSY.

Another communication on this subject is pub-
lished by Lord Lindsay, who has been furnished with
the following memorandum :—" Six or seven years
ago, when Lord Broughton's remarkable memory was
as good as ever, ho said to me most earnestly, ' Mrs.
—, when I was appointed by Byron to examine
matters with Lady liyron's friends, 1 wrote (Low*
every vice, and sin, and crime, and horror, in short, of
which a human being can be capable,- and I said,
"Now, I shall not stir in this business till you tell me
whether you accuse him of any of these things, and
which of them it is." And the answer was, "It is
none of these things." Then I said, " What is it ?"
But they never would say.' I also said to Byron,
" Byron! what is it ?" He said, "I give you my
word I don't know (or, I know no more than you
do)." I said " Have you ever been unkind or
harsh to her" He said, "Only once, and I'll
4
tell you about it. One day in the middle of
my trouble" (" money trouble he meant," said
Lord Broughton), "I came into the room and wont
up to the fire ; she was standing before it, and
said,' Am lin your way ? I answered, Yes, you
are 1' with emphasis. She burst into tears, and left
the room. I hopped up stairs as quickly as I could "
(Poor fellow 1" said Lord Broughton, " you know how
lame he was ") "and begged her pardon most humbly;
and that was the only time I spoke really harshly to
her." Lord Broughton laid great stress on the words
most humbly. He spoke of Lord Byron with pity
and tenderness, and evidently believed in what he
told him." His lordship argues that the above is
strong evidence in Byron's favour.

CHINESE LABOURERS IN CALIFORNIA.

Although there has been great opposition raised to the
introduction of Chinese labourers in California, it is
expected that a largo influx will set in to that and the
adjoining States, and tho cotton-growing sections of tho
Union. It is understood that the Pacific Mail Company of
New Yolk intend to put on weekly steamers to China to
import labour at a low price, rendering it entirely feasible
for Southern planters to procuro hands directly from China,
rid the Pacific, Railroad, which will co-operate with the
company in the project. Even in New York a strong feel-
ing is manifested in favour of a supply, and it is said that
ten thousand freshly imported Chinese would have no
difficulty in finding work in tho city. A New Orleans
merchant has set out for China to establish an agency at
Pekin, or some other point. Other Southern agents are
already in China.

On Saturday Mr. Vining commenced his IliTost

with a new piece, entitled " Escaped from l'°l

and the manager himself sustained the Printp.
parts. The drama had to be prepared very P"t,
riedly, in consequence of unlooked-for disaPP°/rii
went; and, all things considered, it is remarkablYsqAa
done. It perhaps is not quite the sort of drab
that we expected, but the audience received it
each
much applause. Mr. Vining and Mr. Mathews°awl
sustain four characters in the piece. Mrs. Ch 3, t•
Mathews has an excellent part provided for her;
and, with the aid of some good scenery, the restba
was a success. The plot of the piece turns upon
cool audacity of a prisoner escaped from Portland'
and his ultimate recognition by a detective a.l-10

TUE CHURCH CONGRESS.

The closing service in connection with the Church
Congress was held in Chester Cathedral on Saturday,
when his Grace the Archbishop of York preached a
sermon. from the words, " But sanctify the Lord God
in your hearts, and bo ready always to give an answer
to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you, with meekness and fear."
His Grace touched chiefly upon the relations
of religion and science, and inquired whether
science and faith could not find room to dwell together?
For the Church it was to be desired that the voice of
her religious teachers might not be in vain against
the utterances of science opposed to their teaching,
and that power might be given to them to reconcile
the truths of science with the truths of revela-
tion.

TUE VICEROY'S ANSWER.

The Presse of Vienna publishes a despatch from Con-

satisfactory reply from the Viceroy. The Paris Constitu-
tionnel, in commenting on this news, believes that in any
case no further complication need be feared while the
members of several royal families aro present in ,gypt,
and that when the truce occasioned by the inauguration of
the Suez Canal is over, matters will be easily arranged.
