MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

MR. GLADSTONE.

The health of the Premier is the subject of some
little uncertainty at present. From good authority
we may state that Mr. Gladstone is not ill, but is
unler restrictions against over-exertion. The right
honourable gentleman can attend to his official
duties during the day, but must avoid late hours in
the House.

ratner did not like it. - He was merely flirt,
ing, that is clear. He may have had some pos-
sible ulterior purpose, but he never really made
up his mind to marry. Miss Morony's letters,
some of them most pathetic, spew that she was in
earnest, and felt her lover's neglect very deeply. The
Telegraph warns girls such as she to be more careful
than they are, and suggests that mothers should teach
their daughters not to look at every man ready to sly
pleasant things as a hero. There is a golden rule,
too, in such cases, Do not believe in a man
who keeps his engagement secret from his friends.
The Daily News thinks Society, which looks so
tolerantly on flirting, is somewhat responsible for
such cases. If a man who jilted was only
estimated properly, and visited with dis-
pleasure, there would be fewer of both
sexes who now spend their time in making " con-
iquests." Not many have the courage to do as Miss
dorony has done and come before the public to
punish the false and the cowardly. It is the duty
hen of society +4,- -do the work, and to spare its
members from the pain which is now very often over-
looked.

and there is little protection for the natives trom
the hardships inflicted on them by the traders.
The captain and sui-,ercargo of the Young Australia
have been brought to trial on the charge of murdering
three Polynesian natives. The vessel was engaged in
kidnapping natives, who were taken on board
against their will. Captain Howell and a native
have been sentenced to death. The supercargo has
been found guilty of manslaughter, but sentence has been
deferred.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

THAMES.

SANGUINARY CASE OF STABBING.—Au Italian seaman,
named Bonomi Foilio, aged 23 years, who was also called
Pallo, was charged with stabbing an Englishman, named
Lawrence Footman, a rigger, on whose face and head
there were many surgical plaisters, and his jaws were tied
up. The prisoner, a powerful man, looked scarcely human.
His head and face were covered with wounds, his red
shirt torn to shreds, he was without a coat, and
the remainder of his clothes were stiffened with
gore. On the first examination, yesterday morning,
a young man, who had been for a long time extensively
employed as an interpreter among the Italians in the
docks, translated the evidence to the prisoner. Yr. Paget
became dissatisfied with him, postponed the case, remanded
the prisoner, and directed that notice should be given to
the Italian Consul. A gentleman from the Consulate now
attended.

The prisoner belongs to the ship Drignoti in the Mill-
wall Dock. Ile has been eleven days only in England.
On Sunday night, between 15 and 30 minutes past 10, the
prosecutor was with a young man and two women, when
Footman's companion insulted a man, to whom an apology
was made by Footman. One of the prisoner's companions
struck Footman on the eye. The prosecutor asked him
what it was for, and then a fight took place. Tho prose-
cutor was struck and knocked down, and while he was on
the ground the prisoner took a knife from his pocket and
cut him repeatedly across the head and face, and with it
inflicting fearful wounds. Footman lost a large quantity
of blood. Tho prisoner, who acted the part of a coward,
run away directly after he had cut Footman.

In answer to questions by Mr. Paget, the prosecutor
said he was not fighting the prisoner, but Gibson was
fighting with the prisoner.

Mr. Paget said there was nothing to show how the pri-
soner got his terrible cuts. They appeared, as far as he
could see, to have been inflicted with a sharp instrument.
He hoped to have more light thrown upon the case next
week. He remanded the prisoner.

TUE PRESTON COTTON TEADE.

The state of the Preston trade becomes more and
more serious. Another large failure occurred on
Saturday, that of Mr. Ogle. This is the sixth stoppage
in the Preston district within as many weeks,
bringing to a stand about 142,00 spindles, and
from 2,600 to 3,000 looms, and throwing out
of employment nearly 2,000 operati%-es in the
various branches of the trade, including those who
are called " odd hands." There are now nearly half
a million spindles and from 0,000 to 8,000 looms
standing idle in Preston alone. Emigration goes on
apace. Many weavers re:eive "passes'' from their
relatives on the other side of the Atlantic, the cost of
these being paid by the American employers, on the
understanding that the shm is to be refunded in
working. These emigrants are amongst the best of
the workmen.

THE CASE. OP " MORONY V. LEE."

Several of the daily papers comment upon tlle
breach of promise case, " Morony v. Lee," which was
decided at Croydon on Friday. Lieutenant Lee is
very strongly denounced, the Daily _Yews going so
far.,As to suggest that a course of the treadmill
would be good for him. The only reason which he
bad for breakinz off his eneazement was that his

SEWAGE AT BARKING.

The inquiry into the alleged pollution of the
Thames at Barking by the discharge of sewage
from the works of the Metropolitan Board
terminated on Saturday. On the part of the
inhabitants of Barking, it was urged that the
poisonous vapours at the outfall affected the health
of the neighbouring people, and that the sewage was
a nuisance as regards the navigation of the river.
On the part of the Board both these allegations were
denied. Mr. Rawlinson will make his report shortly,
but in the meantime the Standard thinks the result,
even if inconclusive, cannot be favourable to the
Board. One point of dispute, viz., whether any of
the sewage ever got up the river towards London
instead of floating towards the sea, was, the Stan-
dard thinks, decisively proved in the affirmative.
There can be no doubt that a certain quantity does
ascend the river westwards in the direction of the
City. When will people, instead of fighting these
battles, make up their minds to devote sewage to its
proper use—the fertilisation of the soil?

TILDES rx:oN DEMONSTRATION.

A. formidable trades union demonstration was got
up at Manchester on Saturday. All the branches
of the cotton, iron, and building- trades, printers,
tailors, and many others were represented. A pro-
cession numbering 5,t00 men was not prevented
front ta.ing a walk by heavy rain- which lasted two
hours, nor did a. smart downfall scorn to damp the
ardour of the 10,000 who gathered at an of en a:r
meeting in the evening. The object o: this demon-
stration was to express the symi achy of the various
trades with those branches of the Manchester builders
who are " now struggling for the maintenance
of their just rights and privileges." Some
speeches were made, in one of which a
stonemason's representative set forth that ho
and his brethern were contendini, for a
reduction of labour hours to nine a day, but that the
masters would not entertain the application, even if
the men consented to a decrease of wages. The plan
of settling disputes by arbitration, the hour system
of payment, and the " Free Labour Society," each
came in for some hard treatment during the evening.

THE WESLEYAN DIETHODISTS AND "THE SABBATH.'

A correspondent recently called attention in our
columns to the declaration of Mr. S. R. Ball, the ex-
president of the Wesleyan Conference, that there
must b 3 no diversity of teaching in the Methodist
Connexion. Mr. Ilall told the young ministers about
to be admitted to " teach in the congregations " that
if they changed their views they must resign.
And the Wesleyans strictly enforce uniformity. They
will have no " diversity of teaching," for instance,
on the point so much disPuted:—the Christian Sab-
bath. The Rev. Arthur Ransom holds that the
Jewish Institution was abolished by the coming of
our Lord ; he does not in that matter " believe and
preach Methodist doctrine ; " he is therefore called
upon to give up his position as Wesleyan minister.
Though ho distinctly stated that a day of rest was
needful, and ought to be provided, notwithstanding
his declaration that the example of the Apostles
made the observance of the Lord's Day as a day for
worship imperative, he was first asked to reconsider
his opinions on the subject, and then the resignation
which he tendered was accepted. Ile has not been
treated, it would appear, by any means harshly. For
two years he has been in correspondence with
the Wesleyan theological tutors, and during
the whole of this time he has been spoken
to and of with kindliness. Ile only com-
plains of what has been done, not the way in
which he has been treated. In a published letter he
declares that the policy taken towards him will keep
from among the \Vesleyans all young men of inde-
pendent thought. " Wesley's Methodism was plastic
—it accommodated itself to the wants of the age.
The Methodism of the Wesleyan Conference is; I
am afraid, fixed and stereotyped. If so, religious
thought and life will most certainly leave it, like an
ancient sea-beach, high and dry."

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Ineet-street, has intrixlaced an. entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

THE ADMIBALTY AND MR. BAXTER.

The Admiralty clerlis have given in to Mr. Baxter.
They were indignantly remonstrating with hini the
other day ; they are quietly nlersed with him now.
Mr. Baxter made them angry by saying what was
undoubtedly true, that a system of "tipping " had
extensively prevailed in their department,. They
would not, they declared, have aspersions cast on
their characters, and they met to denounce Mr.
Baxter. But their attention is drawn to the fact
that Mr. Baxter has dismissed several clerks. Is it not
nnst likely that he has sent away the guilty persons?
Ought they not, therefore, to be rather pleased at the
eliminating of their evil companions ? They should
no longer be morose with the hon. member for
Montrose.

THE RIDHON OATU.

Many versions of the oath by which the Ribbon
Brotherhood bind themselves to dark deeds have
been published; but at last, we are told, a copy of the
genuine article has been found by the Irish police.
It is certainly diabolical enough for Ribbonism or
any other organisation. The brethren undertake to
"hunt, shoot, and destroy " all landlords of the
Church of Rome who may evict tenants, to shoot all
traitors, and to do their utmost to prevent any
persons, except Irishmen, from possessing Irish land.
The oath likewise provides for the " extermination of
everybody except Itibbonmen.
all heretics," and, in fact, for the extermination of

FOREIGN NOTES.

SPAIN AND CUBA.

In spite of the repeated denials of the reported negotia-
tions for the purchase of Cuba by the Americans, the
Times thinks there is A substantial foundation for the
story. It is said that Spain is not unwilling to part, not
with Cuba alone, but with the whole of her West Indian
possessions, which at present bring her little fame, power.
or money. The price which she puts upon these colonies
is, however, rather too high for most purchasers, £40,000,000.
So far as Cuba is concerned, it has been confidently stated
that the American Government has offered .£15,000,000 cr
£20,000,000 for it, and it is now proposed to raise whatever
amount is necessary to complete the purchase among the
wealthy classes of the island who are anxious to have
it transformed into an independent State. The
Washington Government would in this case give
security for its fulfilment. The Spanish army are much
irritated at the proposed sale, while the Cuban Junta at
New York have entered a!formal protest against it. The
opposition of the latter is not likely to prove a very formid-
able obstacle, since by the latest accounts the Junta have left
New York, the Government assistance having been sud-
denly withdrawn. The Washington Government are
naturally no longer willing to encourage the rebellion in
the island they are negotiating to purchase.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH'S PRESENTS.

The news that the cost of the Duke of Edinburgh's
presents had been defrayed by the British Parlia-
ment has given great offence in Australia. The
Duke has certainly not added to his popularity in the
colony by this demand for £3,500. The Melbourne
Argus says the proceeding is looked upon as the very
reverse of princely, and those few individuals who re-
ceived any souvenirs from his Royal Highness regard
them now in a very different light from that in which
they were first received. In the Legislative Assembly
of Victoria a notice of motion has been given for the
appointment of a committee to inquire into and re-
port upon the presents made by the Prince whilst in
Victoria, with the view of placing a sum upon the
estimates to recoup the British Parliament the money
thus expended in 'Victoria by his Royal highness.

rcTilfAsuiNa THE BANNS.

The question of the utility or reasonableness of
"publishing the banns" is being raised. It is argued
that the practice is useless and absurd ; very absurd,
indeed, when (as was the case at Lambeth parish
church on Sunday week) the announcement of the
future intentions of certain couples occupied longer
than the sermon ; useless because such publications
do not prevent illegal marriages. Tho Daily
11'ms points out that it is generally to some
church miles away from the place in which they are
known that young couples generally resort when
they want to be made one. "At present church-
goers endure the reading of a long string of words
whichconvey no notion whatever to their minds, with-
out the consolation that theyare rendering any service
to anybody. It is an inconvenience which might be
easily abated."

SITOEMAKINGI- IN SCOTLAND.

Cotton-spinning is not the only trade suffering
from depression. The Scottish shoemakers find
their business in a depressed condition. The
National Amalgamated Union have accordingly been
holding a conference to consider the matter. The
deliberations occupied four days, and the result was
that the modern panacea, a scheme of emigratiosi, was
generally approved of as a means of relievingthe over-
crowding. A good deal was said as to the necessity for
the ( stablishment of workshops in which the men
might carry on their trade instead of at their homes.
Sonie of the delegates said that the men themselves
were indifferent on the subject; but others pointed
out that the places which the masters
were disposed to give them were generally
very uncomfortable. A garret, or cellar, or
outhouse, was considered good enough for a shoe-
maker to work in. The matter, it was argued,
should be regulated by legislative interference, and a
Go. ernment inspector should be appointed to see that
proper accommodation and proper ventilation were
provided in the, won:shops. One operative from
Wisham s:tid that when work shops were established in
his district two years ago, and the working hours were
restricted to twelve per clay, the men made higher
wages than they did when they worked sixteen or
seventeen hours at their houses. -Ultimately it was
agreed that a campaign be opened on behalf of
workshops, and that Linlithgow men make the first
stand.

TROUBLE IN CHINA.

There is, it seems, a prospect of another rebellion in
China. Suspicious occurrences have taken place in the
neighbourhood of Soochow, and great excitement prevails
in that district. Three men were arrested at Wookong,
having in their possession a large official seal bearing the
inscription " The Great Original General governing th-
East." The prisoners, when examined, confessed flirt'
this was part of a conspiracy in which several
thousand men were engaged to set up another Taeping
rule. The men were beheaded, and several othe•
arrests were made in Soochow itself, whil
between twenty and thirty men supposed to be the ring
leaders have been taken in Shanghae. Most of the con
spirators are Canton and Ningpo men, and are either old
Taepings or disbanded braves. The head chief is believed
to be an old Chungmow. Altogether they are said to
number some 50,000. The North China Daily News
states that so great is the uneasiness felt in Soochow that
numbers of the inhabitants have taken refuge in Shanghae,
removing all their property from Soochow in fear of a
general outbreak.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—WhiIe the wind was blow-
ing hard from W.N.W. early on Sunday morning last the
schooner William Wallace, of Dundalk, bound thence to
Liverpool in ballast, went on James's Bank off Southport
(reports Admiral Barton). The Southport Lifeboat George
Grey, of the National Lifeboat Institution, was quickly
launched to the assistance of the vessel when she was
seen ashore at daybreak. The boat remained alongside her
until she floated as the tide rose, and afterwards took her
and her crow of fivo mon to Lytham, where the schooner
was beached with seven feet of water in her hold. The
Lytham lifeboat, which also belongs to the National In-
stitution, went out to the schooner some time after the
Southport boat, but her services were not required.
TILE YORKSHIRE RANI LETTINGS.—The first
week of these annual gatherings of the breeders of Lei-
cester sheep has shown a very lively feeling in the com-
petition for good sheep, Ireland and Scotland, with dis-
tant English counties, having sent buyers. The Leckon-
field-park and the Scorbro' lettings have been of most
note, and all the sheep have been taken. At the former 20
guineas was often paid, while at the latter the range
reached £35. The average of the whole lot of the shear-
lingo showed £l2 per head. Several largo sales will be
held this week.

A WELSH JURY.

Every assize brings its crop of complaints about
the vagaries of Welsh juries. But has the fact that
often there are jurymen `r•ho do not understand the
language in which proceedings are conducted
been sufficiently taken into account ? It is
stated that out of twelve jurymen who de-
cided upon the merits of a case heard at the
recent Merionethshire Assizes, only four could speak
or understand English. The evidence was given in
English, the counsel spoke in English, and his lord-
ship's charge was given in English also. And eight
of the jurymen understood not a word ! Upon the
four who did devolved the unpleasant duty of
explaining the points of the case, and making clear
to their fellows what was before dark. Can goal
verdicts, it is asked, be expected under such circum-
stances ?

THE TICKET-OF-LEAVE SYSTEM.

One of those habitual criminals, for whose benefit
the Government have been passing a stringent law,
came before judge at the Bury St. Edmund's Assize
last week. A man named Walker, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of housebreaking, was shewn to
have been sentenced to sixty-five years' penal servitude
during his career. In 184 he was sentenced to twelve
months' imprisonment for housebreaking. Two
years afterwards he was condemned to fifteen years'
penal servitude for felony ; but in the course of
time he obtained his ticket-of-leave, and in 1852 a
second sentence of fifteen years was passed upon him
for housebreaking. Once more a portion of his
punishment was remitted, and in 1859 the burglar
was at his old work, and was for the third time
sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude. Another
ticket-of-leave afforded him the opportunity of
renewing his war upon society, and he pleaded
guilty, a day or two back, to a charge
of housebreaking. The Lord Chief Justice, before
whom the case, came sentenced Mr. Walker to twenty
years penal servitude, remarking, as he did so, " I
shall take care to communicate to the Home Office
the effect which the leniency and mercy shown to
you on former occasions have had, and that you
have gone on in the same way as before."

THE ANTRIM ELECTION.

It is satisfactory to learn that there will be, ac-
cording to all appearances, no division iu the
Conservative camp at the first Irish election after
the Irish Church Act. The important battle for
Antrim county will be fought out evenly, Sir Shafto
Adair representing the Liberals, and Mr. Seymour
the Conservatives. The former has already expounded
his views on the land question, pronouncing in favour
of full and fair compensation to the tenant, though
he has not favoured us with his definition of "full
and fair compensation," which is the turning point
of the question. Sir Shafto Adair advocates tlio
establishment of a land court to settle all differences
that may arise. The landlords of Antrim have met,
and, of course, have resolved to support Mr. Seymour,
but one of them, Lord Arthur Edwin Hill Trevor,
has publicly renounced the "screw." His tenants
may vote as they please.

AUSTRALIA.

H.M.S. Rosario has seized the Australian schooner
Daphne, at Leoreka, Fiji. She was found to have on
board 100 natives from Tanna huddled together, and un-
able to make themselves understood. These natives
had been engaged as labourers for the planta.
tious in Queensland, but were taken to Fiji to
find a better market. The Daphne has arrived
in Sydney for adjudication, and the captain has been
committed. It is believed that a wholesale system
of slave-tratEc has been going on in these islands,

MIPERIAL _EARL I A EN

HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST EVENING.
ROYAL COMMISSION.

The Royal Assent was given to the Telegraph Bill,
the Bankruptcy Bill, Public Schools Bill, Imprisonment
for Debt Bill, Savings Bank Bill, Jamaica Loan Bill,
Contagious Diseases (Auimals Bill), and several other
public and private acts.
The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor,
Lord De Tabley, and the Duke of St. Albans.
The amendments made in the Commons to the Phar-
macy Bill, the Millbank Prisons Bill, Bishop's Resigna-
tion Bill, Contagious Diseases Bill, the Government of
India Act Amendment Bill were considered and agreed to.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL.
The Duke of ARGYLL moved that the Commons'
amendments to this bill be considered to-morrow.
Lord REDESDALE asked the noble duke whether he
intended to ask the house to consider th i amendments to
this bill. Ile had much rather the withdrawal of the bill
of the Government should be a voluntary act.
Earl MELVILLE, who was of opinion that there was
not time ta properly consider, the numerous amendments
which, in fact, had made it altogether a different bill.
Lord REDESDALE then moved that the amendments
be considered that day three months.

The Duke of ARGYLL hoped, after the great amount
of consideration that had been given to the bill, their
lordships would not consent to throw it out. There had
been no time actually lost, but the time had been con-
sumed in considering the bill. He hoped the house would
not consent to the motion of the noble lord.
On a division, Lord REDESDALE'S amendment was
carried by 55 to 43. The bill is therefore at an end for
his session.

Lord GRANVILLE, in reply to Lord Stratheden, ex-
pressed an opinion favourable to the present site of the
Canning statue.

Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMNIONS.--LAsT EVENING.
The SPRAWFB. took the chair at three o'clock.
MINE EXPLOSIONS.

Lord ELCHO presented a petition from 120 delegates
representing 30,000 minors in Lancashire praying that a
Royal Commission might be appointed to inquire into the
causes of mine explositions.
REVISING BARRISTERS.
Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Col. French, said he had to
thank the hon. and gallant gentleman for putting the
question relative to a statement that had appeared in one
of the daily papers with respect to the appointment of re-
vising barristers, in which it was stated the Lord Chief
Baron had said that the sons ..of judges were to have
priority of appointment to such office. He had to say that
the learned judge denied rwsitively that such a statement
had ever been made—a statement, if true, which would
reflect discredit upon him. The learned judge, in his
letter, said the statement alluded to must be founded upon
some unaccountable mistake, or else was a mere fiction.
He had never informed the revising barristers that the
appointments were but temporary; the judges had no
power to make the appointments temporary or permanent.
He had, however, appointed ten revising barristers—one
was the son of a judge, another the son of a former Lord
Chancellor, and the other eight had formally filled the ap-
pointment, and were all competent persons.
London, England, 1869-08-10

the palace for the cathedral at half-past eleven. The pro-
cessien entered the cloisters at the door between the
chapter house and the south transept,. gassing
along the north side of the cloisters into the close,
and entering the cathedral by the great western porch.
The cathedral clergy having assembled in the vestry a
quarter of an hour earlier, and the diocesan clergy in the
chapter-house, the latter ranged themselves in order on
the north side of the cloisters. The mayor and corpora-
tion assembled near the entrance to the Chancellor's
Court on the west side of the cloisters, and placed them-
selves at the head of the procession as it moved towards
the cathedral. The Dean and Chapter, the prebendaries,
and other cathedral clergy, met the body at
the entrance to the nave. The choral service then
commenced, and, the procession having entered the choir,
the prebendaries and mayor and corporation took their
seats in the stalls, the clergy occupying the space to the
east of the pulpit. The remaining seats in the choir were
reserved for the relatives and friends in the procession.
Upon the procession entering the cathedral, "I am the
Resurrection and the Life," &c., &c., was sung ;
the choir then chanted Psalm xxxix. and Psalm
xc. After the Lesson the anthem was sung,
"Happy and blest are they who have endured: for
though the body dies, the soul shall live for ever" (Men-
delssohn). As the procession was leaving the• choir, a
voluntary was played on the organ, and at the grave was
sung, "Man that is born of a woman," &c., &c., and "I
heard a voice from heaven," &c., &c. At the conclusion
of the service the Hymn 98, Salisbury Hymn Book,
"The foe behind, the deep before," &c., was
sung to the tune Troyte. On the conclusion of
the service the procession returned in the same order
through the south transept to the cloisters, and proceeded
thence to the place of burial. The coffin bore the inscrip.
tion:—" Gualterus Kerr Hamilton, S.T.P. Episcopus
Sarisburiensis. Obiit die 1 Aug., 1869. }Et. GO.
Requiescat in pace." Over this inscription was a mitre
of the fourteenth century.

THE ESMONDE TV ILL CA SE.

The Esmonde will case, which excited so much interest,
is (as we have already stated) again being tried, not now
at the Dublin Probate Court as last year, but at the Car-
low Assizes. The facts may again be stated. The
plaintiffs are the executors of the will of Lady Esmonde,
and the defendants are the executors of the late Sir
Thomas Esmonde, Lord and Lady G ranard, and the Hon.
Mrs. Deane Morgan. The issues are whether the will of
Lady Esmonde was duly executed, or whether
it had been procured by the undue influences
or fraud of Mrs. Morgan and the Rev. E.
Hughes. Lady Esmonde left two daughters by her first
marriage with Mr. Morgan, one of whom married Mr.
Deane and the other the Earl of Granard. Lady
Granard, in 18M, became a Roman Catholic, a
change which much displeased her mother, who
announced her intention of leaving her property to
a Protestant Institution. The will in question leaves the
property, amounting to £21,000, to Trinity College. She
had previously divided her estates between her two
daughters, and the will referred to the personal property
only. A good deal of evidence has been taken to ehew the
state of Lady Esmonde's mind during her illness, her
medical attendants and Mr. Browne, one of the executors,
being called. Mrs. Deane Morgan, whose name was
formally on the record, did not plead. The case is not
vet concluded.
