STREET TRAMWAYS.

The Inventors' Institute ought to be a progressive,
and by no means a prejudiced, body. Composed to
a large extent of engineers, who live (so to speati)
by the discovery of novelty, the institute itself also
being formed to protect inventions, it ought rather
to encourage the trial of what is new than
otherwise. But it does not seem to be
taking that course in regard to street tramways.
Seeing that it is admitted that these would provide
an easier and more commodious mode of transit than
now prevails ; seeing that they have already suc-
ceeded in America and elsewhere, and that the House
of Commons has sanctioned their trial in this
country, it seems rather to be. contrary to the principle
on which such an association should be worked that a
meeting should be held to protestagainst the adoption
of tramways in London. Yet this is what has been d one.
Two " C.E.'s," Messrs. Imray and Measor, are much
opposed to the innovation; their principal objections
being the old ones, that the rails would cause acci-
dents ; that it was inexpedient to give a flying stream
of carriages priority of way in any part of . the road;
and that it would, by narrowing the line of route,
make traffic still more difficult.

FOREIGN NOTES.
ALTERED POLICY OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

The change in the policy of General Grant's Cabinet
becomes more marked. There has been a strong reaction
against the belligerent sentiments so freely expressed a
short time ago, and the Government has found it necessary
to give heed to the current of respectable public opinion.
The Times Philacl el phia correspondent says that the visits of
Lasiness men to Washington, and the counsels of the more
prudent politicians, all urging that the country needs peace,
have decided the• Administration to discountenance
further agitation. Both with reference to the Alabama
claims and to the insurrection in Cuba the prospect
becomes more and more pacific. The Cuban agitators are
disappointed at the change of affairs, and say the rebellion
will wane if it loses the chance of recognition by the
United States. But there is scarcely the remotest proba-
bility that such recognition will be made. " The improved
condition of affairs is generally remarked."
So far, then, the speeches of Messrs. Sumner and
Chandler have produced only the effect of injuring their
own country. The price of United States Bonds, which
had risen materially in consequence of the decisive
measures against repudiation, has fallen again in con-
sequence of these speeches. The ground lost will have to
b. retrieved once more. American credit is bad, and
American politicians will not allow it to improve when it
might.

THE CZAR.

The health of another personage of much higher posi-
tion begins to cause uneasiness. The Czar has been
unwell for 'several weeks. Some time back he was
crossing a bridge in an open carriage with his eldest son,
when the horses took fright, and, dashing across the foot-
path, were only prevented by the parapet from falling
with the vehicle into the river. The shock was so great
that it is feared the Emperor must have sustained somo
internal injury. He has been indisposed ever since.

THE IO;i141Z ISLAIVDS.

~~,.~ -~ ~

at Corfu. His sojourn in the chief of the lonian
Islands will probably be some consolation to the
inhabitants for the loss they have sustained by the
departure of the English. The lonians have
found to their cost that the doctrine of nationality
does not always " pay." In 1815 the islands were formed
into an independent State under the protection of Great
Britain; but the people were dissatisfied. The Parliament
declared for annexation to Greece, and in 1864 this wish
was gratified. But the lonians bitterly rue the change.
The English functionaries and officers who formerly
resided in the protectorate, and the visitors and ships that
frequently stopped there and spent a good deal of money,
have vanished for ever. If the suffrages of the lonians
were taken again, there is no doubt that they would
declare unanimously for a renewal of English rule.

TILE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADES.

The Beehive says that in about fourteen towns
there are struggles going on between the master
builders and some of their workmen. At
I3radford and Lancaster the strikes have ter-
minated by the withdrawal of the " hour system"
by the masters. The masons in both these towns
have resumed work. At Leeds there lus been a
conference of six masters and six masons, and there
is a probability of the " hour system " being with-
drawn in that town by the masters. At Manchester
the master builders have held a representative
meeting, at which it was unanimously rewired to
stand by the "Notice." The masons, on the other hand,
are as determined in their resistance to it. In
Bolton, Coventry; Sunderland, Sheffield, Wakefield,
and other places the struggle still continues. At
Bristol, arbitration has gone in favour of the car-
penters. They will receive an advance or wagea, and
also a reduction in the hours of work. Time masons
of that town have resolved to meet the master
builders, and six representatives of each have been
elected to confer together as to whether the hour
system shall be adopted, and a bw.rd of conciliation
formed.

NURSES.

The reign of Mrs. Gamp and her friends is over
for ever. Protestants are following Ilinnan CAI:to& s
in thiS-Lthey a-rb providing Sisters of Mercy to nurse
the sick. Dissenters have swallowed a lump of pre-
ju lice Very large indeed, and have established an
institution not unlike a convent in some respects.
There is the term " Sister," thodistinctiVe dress, the
promise (not a vow) not
.to marry•iinmediately,- the
requirement of satisfactory religious condition,
and a devotion to deeds of love. Indeed,
all sects and sections are awaking to the
want of efficient tending of those who cannot tens
themselves. Another institution—national, not see,
tarian—has just been opened for training nurses.
Prince Teck, on Thursday, opened a home in connec-
tion with the Middlesex Hospital, out of which will
ultimately come nurses for our London hospitals,
gratuitous nurses for the poor, and nurses to be
hired by the rich. It is to be hoped that the fund
for nursing the poor will, to some extent, be helped
by the return Made by the rich.
A NEW " SENSATION."

The Telegraph his fallen upon a new subject on
• which to discharge poetry and pathos. The'British
governess is now put before the public with a claim
on its sympathy. ()Or contemporary confesses that
_the sub; ect is worn out ; that the governess of
romance has been made too much of ; that the gover-
ness of reality is perhaps a little less interesting
than could be wished. But it tells a
story and provides a moral. The story
is this. A banker's clerk died suddenly, leaving a
• family unprovided for. Tho younzest child, 1p

THE REST REMEDY FOR INDIGESTION.

'MORTON'S CAMOMILE PILLS are eon&
dently recommended as s simple but certain
Remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all
the diseases to which we are subject, being a medicine so
uniformly grateful and beneficial that it is with justice
railed the ' Natural Strengthener of the Human Stomach.'
" Norton's Pills" act as a powerful tonic and gentle ape-
rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
mmstances, and thousands of persons can now boar testi-
mony to the benefits to be derived from their use, as they
have been a never-failing Family Friend for upwards of
20 years.

which have sprung up in consequence of the success of
Norton's Camomile Pills."

A MINISTERIAL DEFEAT.

Ministers sustained a curious defeat in the House
of Lords on Thursday. The subject was the Govern-
ment of India Bill, and the Marquis of Salisbury
moved, as an amendment, that the members of the
India Council should be nominated by the Crown.
This amendment was supported by Lord Lawrence.
The Duke of Argyll said that if the house insisted
upon giving this additional patronage to the Crown,
he certainly should not quarrel with the House, nor
withdraw the bill. Still, he considered the arrange-
ment by which a portion of the council is elected
should stand, and he would, at all events, take the
sense of the House upon it. In doing so, Ministers
were beaten by 89 to 53.

RIOT BY COLLIERS.

Tyldesley has, during the last few days, been the ECM
of much excitement, in consequence of the threatening
attitude of the colliers on strike at the colliery belonging
to Messrs. Holland and Green, and those employed by the
Tyldesley and Astley Coal and Salt Company. The men
have been on strike for a few weeks rather than submit to
a reduction in their wages of 10 per cent. A report was
current that a number of colliers from Staffordshire would,
arrive in Tyldesley by the nine o'clock train, to supply
the places of the men on strike. For some time before the
arrival of the train thousands of people took possession of
the principal street through which it was expected the
men would be escorted. ' The expected train, however,
instead of stopping to put down the men at the usual
platform, sped on to a siding which leads to the colliery.
So soon as this became known the crowd hurried on to
the spot. By the time the train arrived at its desti-
nation the mob had taken possession of the road and
bridge over which the police and their charge had to pass.
The moment the Staffordshire colliers were recognised a
shower of stones was hurleJ at them and the police. The
latter charged the mob, and injuries wire received on
both sides, the police suffering from the stories, whilst the
mob were beaten with the truncheons of the officers. They
forced their way to the yard of the colliery, and another
fearful set-to took place, but ultimately the mob was
driven towards Tyldesley. and the Staffordshire men
were lodged in an outbuilding, specially provided with
beds for their accommodation. On the following morning
the men were escorted to Common-lane Pit by the officers,
and returned in the same way in the afternoon, but
nothing further took place beyond hooting and an occa-
sional stray stone being thrown. The place ie still guarded
by the police.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A TAIL IN—T'lLOUDLE.—lieury Lowry, a seaman on
board the Bellerophon, was charged before Mr. Nowtcn
with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-
constable Hutchings, 234 C.
The constable said he was on du'y about 20 minutes
past ono that morning at the corner of Pall-mail and the
Haymarket, when he heard the prisoner, who was drunk,
making a noise, and on requesting him to go he gave him
three blows. Having got the assistance of another con-
stable ho took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Newton said that the prisoner would be fined 20s
or 14 days.

NORTH GERMANY.

The smaller fry constituting the North German Con•
federation are getting into terrible financial difficulties.
The taxes imposed since 1866 have become overwhelming,
and yet deficits accumulate. By the terms of
confederation it was agreed that Prussia should
maintain all the soldiers of the Union, and that each
State should pay 225 thalers per man for the support of
its contingent. A convention, however, was signed in
1866, by which the sum was reduced to one-half until the
year 1873, from which time the full 225 thalers will have
to be paid. This increase will intensify the financial
troubles of the smaller States, some of which will, it is
expected, become utterly bankrupt.

TyWesley has, during the last few days, been the seerrs.
of much excitement, in consequence of the threatening
attitude of the colliers on strike at the colliery belonging
to Aleszrs. Holland and Green, and those employed by the
Tyldcsley and Astley Coal and Salt Company. 'The men
have Lecu,on strike for a few weeks rather than submit to
a reduction in their wages of 10 per cent. A report was
current that a nu:nber of colliers from Staffordshire would
arrive in Tyldesley by the nine o'clock train, to supply
the places of the men on strike. For some time before the
arrival of the train thousands of people took possession of
the principal street through which it was expected the
men would be escorted. The expected train, however,
instead of stopping to put down the men at the usual
platform, sped on to a siding which leads to the colliery.
So soon as this became known the crowd hurried on to
the spot. By the time the train arrived at its desti-
nation the mob, had taken possession of the road and
bridge over which the police and their charge had to pass.
The moment the Staffordshire colliers were recognised a
shower of stones was hurled at them and the police. The
latter charged the mob, and injuries were received on
both sides, the police suffering from the stories, whilst the
mob were beaten with the truncheons of the officers. They
forced their way to the yard of the colliery, and another
fearful set-to took place, but ultimately the mob was
driven towards Tyldesley, and the Staffordshire men
were lodged in au outbuilding, specially provided with
beds for their accommodation. On the following morning
the men were escorted to Common-lane Pit by the officers,
and returned in the same way in the afternoon, but
nothing further took place beyond hooting and an occa-
sional stray stone being thrown. The place is still guarded
by the police.

EM:Grt ATION.

The mania for emigration, which is just now
running wild, is a most serious matter. At first it
was thought that the scum of the population might
be drafted off to America and the colonies, relieving
us and giving them a chance of success in another
sphere. But if men, who, through idleness or vice,
have a good opportunity cf becoming well-to-do in
another country, how much more the provident and
hrxdworking. And so now the solution of the
labour and capital question is looked for in emigra-
tion. Those who are being scat away are no longer
exclusively composed of the worst workmen, but•of
the most valuable.. The strikes in the cotton and
coal districts have been defeated by the masters
employing a second batch of men. But these are
very inferior to the old ones ; and the original work-
men, being supplanted, are looking about for some
way of exit from their present position. They will
not submit, they cannot starve. They must, there-
fore, go away from the district, must leave the
country, and are being assisted to do so. If trade
revives—the- idea among the men is that it never
will—the masters will find themselves much incon-
venienced.

THEATRICAL.

Mr. Buckstone, speaking at the dinner of the Royal
Theatrical Fund, on Thursday, spoke very earnestly
against the narrow views taken of the theatrical art
ever since " the gloomy days of Cromwell." He
assured that portion of his audience who was not
composed of actors that those who lived by the
stage thought themselves respectable members of
society, notwithstanding the recent letter of the
Lord Chamberlain on the skirts of the dancing
ladies. En passant, he gave his opinion that the
said letter was useless, there being no rule for
guidance as to the length of the ballet dresses, and
therefore no uniformity. He went on to solemnly
defend the theatrical profession against one aspersion.
A meeting was recently held at Exeter Hall to oppose
the opening of museums, &c., on a Sunday.

"An eminent lawyer and member of Parliament
thought proper to assert that to allow the opening of
museums and galleries on that day would lead to the
opening of theatres. Now, I am sure, as regards the
Haymarket, there is not one member of that establish-
ment who would consent to act on a Sunday ; and I am
certain I may declare, in the name of every performer of
both sexes in England, that none would be found to do so.
Hundreds of them—and it is not too well known to the
fanatics—frequent places of worship on Sunday ; and all
of them enjoy the day of rest too well to have it inter-
rupted by attending to their professional duties. For my
own part, I know that on a Saturday night, after a hard
week's work and many anxieties, I have frequently
exclaimed, ' Thank God, to-morrow's Sunday."

This hospital, founded in the year 1828, 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
bsnovolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lane ; also by Meaars.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A TAR IN TROUBLE.—Henry Lowry, a seaman on
board the Bellerophon, was charged before Mr. Newtcn
with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Police-
constable Hutchings, 231 C.

The constable said he was on duty about 20 minutes
past one that morning at the corner of Pall-mall and the
Haymarket, when he heard the prisoner, who was drunk,
making a noise, and on requesting him to go he gave him
three blows. Having got the assistance of another con-
stable he took the prisoner into custody.
Mr. Newton said that the prisoner would be fined
or 14 days.

LOA DON, SA? URDAY, MAY 15, 1869.

~---

Upwards of fourteen years ago, namely, on the
15th of January, 1855, Mr. LAYARD uttered in the
House of Commons a phrase which has since then
become "familiar in our mouths as household words,"
part and parcel, as one may say, of our English ver-
nacular. It was a mot that at once caught the popu-
lar fancy—the famous about the right man in
-
the right place.'', The particular passage in Mr.
LAYAR.VS .zpeec4 of that day, in which it occurred,'
may be found by the curious in such matters in the

EPISCOPAL PESIGNATION.

The Church Review returns to this subject. It says :
" The time has come, by a combination of circumstances,
that the question of the resignation of bishops may be
egalded as one of the great topics of the day not only in
!cciesiastical, but even to a certain extent in
-ecular, circles. We must face the fact that
at this present moment the Episcopacy has become
almost a dead letter in the greatest portion of
England south of the Thames." And th's spectacle of a
district as populous as an average second-class European
Power, without a single efficient bishop, occurs at a time
when every institution is undergoing a searching trial.
At such a time as this every energy of the
Church's chief pastors is absolutely needed in each
diocese of the land, and yet now the home Episcopate is
almost becoming in large and populous districts a dead
letter, the duties of the dioceses being handed over to such
colonial prelates as have beenunequat to the duties of their
own distant sees. Our contemporary cannot feel surprised
that Churchmen are calling out for a prompt and efficient
remedy. The Church Revicw has small patience with the
theory that it is unlawful for a bishop to resign, and
points out that they who hold this theory actually profit
by the alleged unlawful act of colonial bishops. The
uula i.lzo to see a bishop in every large town in
the south of England. It there were one, e.g., in South
London, Portsmouth, Southampton, Brighton, Dover,
Plymouth, Cornwall, Taunton, and besides the existing
sees—it would be .almost a physical impossibility that
things should come to the present dead-lock. It may be
questionable how far that scheme is practicable. Mean-
while there is no reason why incapable bishops should not
resign.

NURSES.

The reign of Mrs. Gamp and her friends is over
for ever. Protestants are following Roman Catholics
in this—they are providing Sisters of Mercy to nurse
the sick. Dissenters have swallowed a lump of pre-
jn lice very large indeed, and have established an
institution not unlike a convent in some respects.
There is the term " Sister," the distinctive dress, the
promise (not a vow) not to marry immediately, the
requirement of satisfactory religious .". condition,
and a devotion to deeds of love. Indeed,
all sects and sections are awaking to the
want of efficient tending of those who cannot teni
themselves. Another institution—national, not sea•
tarian—has just been opened for training nurses.
Prince Teck, on Thursday, opened a home in connec-
tion with the Middlesex Hospital, out of which will
ultimately conic nurses for our London hospitals,
gratuitous nurses for the poor, and nurses to be
hired by the rich. It is to be hoped that the fund
for nursing the poor will, to some extent, be helped
by the return made by the rich.

A Z:LIV "SENSATION"

The TeJegjaph has fallen upon a new subject on
which to discharge poetry and pathos. The British
governess is now nut before the public with a claim
on its syMpathy. Our contemporary confesses that
the subject is worn . out ; ,ithat the governess of
romance has been made too much of ; that the goverr
ness of reality is perhaps a little less interesting
than could be wished. But it tells a
story and provides a moral. The story
is this. A ba&:er's clerk died suddenly, leaving a
family unprovided for. The youngest child, 16
years of rge, obtained a situation as governess. She.
had to trudge four miles to teach her charges, and
earned but a few shillings a week. But during the hot
summer of last year the work and the walk were too
much for her ; she sickened, lost her rosop. wal

THE DISPUTE IN THE BUILDING TRADES.

The Beehive says that in about fourteen towns
there are struggles going on between the master
builders and some of their workmen. At
Bradford and I4measter the strikes have ter-
minated by the withdrawal of the " hour system"
by the masters. The masons in both these towns
have resumed work. At Leeds there h:•;s been a
conference of six masters and six masons, and there
is a probability of the " hour system " being with-
drawn in. that town by the masters. At Manchester
the master builders have held a representative
meeting, at which it was unanimously resolved to
stand by the "Notice." The masons, on the other hand,
are as determined in their resistance to it. In
Bolton, CoVentry, St:nderland, Sheffield, 'Wakefield,
and other places the struggle still continues. At
Bristol, arbitration has gone in favour of the car-
penters. They will receive an advance of wages, and
also a reduction in the hours of work. The masons
of that town have resolved to: meet the master
builders, and six representatives of each have been
elected to confer together as to whether the hour
system shall be adopted, and a board of conciliation
formed.

THE CHARGE OF FORGERY BY A CHI El.

CONST ABLE.

To-day, Major Frederick Beswick was brought
before the Lord Mayor, on remand, charged with
having forged and uttered, with intent to defraud
the Governor and Company of the Bank of Eng-
land, a certain power of attorney for the transfer
of £431 ss. 3d. stock, part of a sum of £4,216 13s.
.standing in the Bank books in ..the names of
Henry Thomas Mixted and Frederick Beswick.
Mr. W. E. Hinde, manager of the Birkenhead
branch of the Alliance Bank, said the stock was
transferred and paid over to a Mr. Horton, as di-
rected.

Cross-examined.—Major Beswick used every
exeLion to discover the man.

After some further evidence the prisoner was
committed for trial.

POLICE LV TELLIGENCE.—This Day.

'WESTMINSTER.
George Meredith, 19, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly and assaulting Police-,...onstable, 83 T, in
the execution of his duty, and William Hill, 17, and Chas.
Hill, 24, were charged with assaulting 83 'l', attempting
to rescue Meredith from his custody also assaulting
Police-constable, 77 T public calling() atend.tut, '2B, John
Kirk and Frederick Chandler, who came to the assistance
of the pol:ce.
Richard Noonan, 83 T, said last evening at four o'clock
he was in Fulham-road, and saw the prisoner Meredith
and two others behaving in a disorderly manner at the
Redcliffe Arms. The landlord asked me t) remove h:m,
and he threatened to split my head with a quart pot. At
last they left the house and used bad language iu the
street, and finding their conduct was very bad witness
took Meredith into custody for being drun'c and
disorderly. William Hill flaw at me and hit tno in the
jaw, and Meredith kicked me. I called to the carriage
attendant, and gave Hill into custody. He escaped from
the attendant, and Charles Hill came up and gave me a
blow in the nose and drew blood. The attendant came
up again and they assaulted him and a gentleman who
assisted me. They assaulted every one that came near

them.
Mr. Salle ordered Meredith to pay a fine of 405., or be
sent to prison for a mouth. The case of the other two,
who were sober, was as bad as could be conceived, and
sentenced them to three months' hard labour each.

MAZZINI.

Letters from Florence represent Mazzini to be in a very
deplorable state of health. The frequent vomitings and
the want of sleep, which proved so dangercus some
time ago, have been renewed. There is too much
reason to fear that these attacks are but the earlier
symptoms of that incurable malady - cancer in the
stomach. For a long time the Republican leader has
taken only the most simple and digestible nourishment,
but the good effects of a careful diet are counteracted by
the excessive use of tobacco. Mazzini smokes thirty or
forty cigars a day. " Strong-willed as is this man," says
the Liberi4 " he struggles in vain against this passion,
which endangers his life."

TUE INCREASE OF PAUPERISM.

Mr. Goachen on Monday evening ascribed the
increase of pauperism to public opinion. Some
three years back certain exposures were made, and
the British public demanded that the workhouse
should be made more habitable. It was made so,
and those who had formerly been afraid of it now
paid visits to it. It is a very difficult question how to
to keep the idle from falling on the poor's rate. Cer-
tainly we shall not solve it by starving them, by allow-
ing the sick who enter to die of non-attendance, and
the able-bodied to make their bed in filth, and assail
one another with bad language. So thinks the Lancet.
." We are sure," it says, " the British public will not
grudge the money necessary to remove the shameful scan-
dalsof workhouses which it was our duty to expose three
years ago. If the moderate imprOvements we sought for,
and which to a large extent have since been obtained,
have made the workhouse sick-wards more attractive to
the poor, the remedy does not lie in restoring the ancient
abuses, but in exercising a wiser discretion in the adminis-
tration of out-door relief, in bringingpersonal visitation to
the houses of the poor, and in.conlisinff the admission to
workhouses to the really destitute. So long as any rascal
can obtain admission to reasonable comforts on the plea of
illness, and discharge himself without making any return
for the benefits received, abuse is unavoidable. The
executive ought therefore to have greater powers of
control."

STAFFORD XLF.CTION.

Two Liberals have already offered themselves to
the.electors of Stafford in the place of Mr. Pochin,
(L.), and Colonel Teller, (C.), unseated for bribery.
They are Mr. Odger, the working-man's candidate
for Chelsea, who withdrew in order not to divide
the Liberal interest, and Mr. Evans, who has repre-
sented South Derbyshire, but was defeated after a
very severe contest by the late Sir Thomas Gresley,
who did not live to take his seat. Mr. B. Whitworth,
recently unseated at Drogheda, is also spoken of. At
Stafford thelast election gave the following result: Mr.
Pochin (L.), 1,189 ; Colonel Meller (0.),1,124 ; Mr.
Chawner (L.), 1,107. It will be seen that the
running was very close, and it is quite impossible to
guess the result of another contest. In Mr. Pochin
women have lost one of the warmest supporters of
their political " rights."

A PUZZLING ANNOUNCEMENT.

A contemporary announces that " the Marchioness
de emit has taken up her residence, for the season,
in Cumberland-terrace, Regent's Park, and Mdlle.
Adelina Patti has likewise arrived in town. The
latter lady is in magnificent voice, and will make her
appearance, most positively, at the Royal Italian
Opera, as Amina in 'La Sonnambula.' " We were
under the impression that the Marchioness de Caux
and Mdlle. Adelina Patti were the same person. Our
contemporary is either ignorant of the fact, or is
perpetrating a joke. If the latter alternative is cor-
rect, we are stupid enough not to see wherein the
joke consists.
