CLERGY AND ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS BILL.

The council of the Church Association have
examined the provisions of the Clergy Discipline and
Ecclesiastical Courts Bill presented to the House of
Lords by the Archbishop of Canterlkury. They
recognise its merits, but give-the preference to the bill
recently presented by Lord Shaftesbury. They trust
that by mutual arrangement the country may secure
the benefits so much required. Some of the chief defects
in the proposal of the Archbishop are pointed out,
and it is said that certain provisions are of a retro-
grade character. The laity will be worse off than
they are now by the arrangements of this bill, and
in any case of unsound or erroneous doctrine great
difficulty will be found in taking proceedings. After
mentioning some other defects •in the scheme, the
council feel compelled to urge their friends to pre-
sent petitions in favour of Lord Shaftesbury's mea-
sure, as being the best calculated to secure the
interests they have at heart.

A ROYAL ELOPEMENT.

The Irish Times publishes the following story from
Queenstown :—" An elopement of a Bourbon prince with a
supposed Cuban lady has come to light here. On Wednes-
day, the 3d inst., there arrived in the train which brought
the American mails, two ladies and a young gentle-
man, as passengers by the outgoing steamer. They
were mentioned in the passage ticket which they had
provided themselves with as Mrs. and Miss Hamil,
and Louis Bourbon. In the tender, whilst on the
passage to the mail steamer, Palmyra, they attracted much
notice, especially the youngest of the ladies, owing to
her peculiar beauty ; and much speculation was put
forward as to who they were, one gentleman asserting
it was a runaway affair between a Fr,‘nch count ar.d a
Cuban lady. However, no further notice was taken of
the occurrence until a day or two ago, when searching
inquiries were set on foot by a gentleman acting as
consul for a South American Republic, and it now turns
out that the supposed count was no less a personage than
Prince Don Louis de Bourbon, but of the identity of tLe
lady there is nothing divulged at present.

ELEC7 lON IN7 ELL IGEN CE.

Five seats which had been declared vacant were
yesterday filled up, and the net result is a Tory gain
of one. At Blackburn, the two Coniervative can-
didates, Mr. E. K. Hornby and Mr. IL M. Feilden
were elected, though the numbers they polled were
smaller than those recorded in favour of Mr. W. H.
Hornby and Mr. J. Feilden in November last. At
the general election Mr. llornby obtained 4,907,
and Mr. Feilden 4,826 votes; while the highest
numbers polled yesterday were—Hornby, 4,738;
and Feilden, 4,697. The Liberal vote yesterday
was also considerably below that of November. In
this case the old members are succeeded by their
sons. At Hereford, also, Colonel Clive (L) suc-
ceeds his father—tLe second seat, from which Mr.
Wyllie (L) was ousted, being carried by Mr.
Chandos Wren Hoskyns, another supporter of
Mr. Gladstone. In Dumfriesshire, Sir Sydney
Waterlow has been beaten by a majority of 34,
the Liberal victory in Novewber being thus ra-
vened.

DYING DECLARATIONS.

Mr. Baron Cleasby, in a charge of murder against
a midwife, which was brought before him at the.
Sheffield Assizes, on Monday, decided an important
question. When the case was before the magistrates,
the principle evidence against the accused was the
statement of the deceased taken shortly before her
death ; but when it was attempted to put in the
examination at the assizes objection was taken to its
admission, on the ground that at the time it was
made the deceased was not impressed with the belief
that death was imminent, and, therefore, that her
statement was not of the nature of a dying declara-
tion. Baron Cleasby, considering the objection well
founded, excluded the evidence, and as upon it the
prosecution relied for a conviction, the case broke
down, and a verdict of acquittal was entered.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Mis Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTEMPT TO ROB A SOLICITOR.— Charles Sennet, a
thick-set young man, who gave his address Northampton-
street, Clerkenwoll, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with assaulting Mr. William Wells, solicitor, of Bradford,
Yorkshire, with intent to rob him.

Mr. Wells said that about one o'clock that. morning be
was walking from Leicester-square in the direction of
Trafalgar-square, and to make a near cut he went behind
the National Gallery, and when he kid proceeded a few
paces he saw twomen coming along. When they got near
him they crossed and recrossed in such a suspicious man-
ner that to avoid them he waltzed back to Hem-
ming's-row. Ho had only gone a few paces
when he felt some person spring behind him,
and take hold of his coat. Having passed two constables
some little distabca off, he turned Lack, and one of the
men sprang on him again, and took hold of his coat, and
one of the police-constables caught hold of the prisoner,
who was one of the mon.

The prisoner said that the prosecutor pushed apinst
him, and On his going back and asking him why hv: did
so, he made no answer.

Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prosecutor that be had been saved
from b,:ing garrotted.
Police-constable George Haffiil.on, G C, said that about
one o'clock that morning ho was on duty in CaAle-street,
Le!cester-square, near the corner of lienri:ings-row, when
he saw the prosecutor running and tho prisoner running
after him, and on the prisoner seizing the prosecutor by
the coat ho caught hold of him and took him into custody,
and to the station, where be was charged with assaulting
the prosecutor with intent to rob him.
Police-Constable Curtis, 57 0, gave similar evtdence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months
with hard labour.

A LOVE AFFAlR.—Jobannah Ciaroy, 15, residing in the
Fulham-bridgo-road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
with attempting to destroy herself by drowning in the
Serpentine.

It appeared that the girl had formed an acquaintance
with a lad about her own age, and on her mother remon-
strating with her and slapping her face, bho left home in
an excited manner, and went to the Serpentine and
threw herself in, but she was fortunately rescued by Geo.
Walker, residing in Doyle-street, Sloane-street, who
handed her over to Police-constable Ambrose, 3G7 A,
when she said that she wishedshe had done it and that it
had been dark at the time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who, on being
asked by her mother if she was not sorry for what she
bad done, said she did not know so much about that.

THAMES.

Elizabeth Brown, aged 4G years, and Jar e Bennett, 3
were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a
purse containing 7s. 6d., the property of John Bennett,
who is not related to either prisoner.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

ATTEMPT TO ROB A SOLICITOR.— Charles Sennet, a
thick-set young man, who gave his address Northampton-
street, Clerkenwoll, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with assaulting Mr. William Wells, solicitor, of Bradford,
Yorkshire, with intent to rob him.

Mr. Wells said that about one o'clock that morning he
was walking from Leicester-square in the direction of
Trafalgar-square, and to make a near cut he went behind
the National Gallery, and when he had proceeded a few
paces he saw twomen coming along. When they got near
him they crossed and recrossed in such a suspicious man-
ner that to avoid them he ;calked back to Hem-
ming's-row. He had only gone a few paces
when he felt some person spring behind him,
and take hold •f his coat. Having passed two constables
some little distance off, he turned back, and one of the
men sprang on him again, and took hold of his coat, and
one of the police-constables caught hold of the prisoner,
who was one of the mon.

The prisoner said that the prosecutor pushed against
him, and on his going back and asking him why he did
so, he made no answer. •

Mr. Tyrwhitt told the prosecutor that he had been saved
from being garrotted.
Poli;e•constable George Hamilton, 56 C, said that about
one o'clock that morning he was on duty in Castle-street,
Leicester-square, near the corner of Hemmings-row, when
he saw the prosecutor running and the prisoner running
after him, and on the prisoner seizing the prosecutor by
the coat he caught hold of him and took him into custody,
and to the station, where he was charged with assaulting
the prosecutor with intent to rob him.
Police-Constable Curtis, 57 0, gave similar evidence.

Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for two months
with hard labour.

A LOVE AFFAlR.—Johannah Clarey, 15, residing in the
Fulham-bridge-road, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt,
with attempting to destroy herself by drowning in the
Serpentine.

It appeared that the girl had formed an acquaintance
with a lad about her own ago, and on her mother remon-
strating with her and slapping her face, she left home in
an excited manner, and went to the Serpentine and
threw herself in, but she was fortunately rescued by Geo.
Walker, residing in Doyle-street, Sloane-street, who
handed her over to Police-constable Ambrose, 367 A,
when she said that shewishedshe had done it and that it
had been dark at the time.

Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, who, on being
asked by her mother if she was not sorry for what sho
had done, said she did not know so much about that.

THAMES.

Elizabeth Brown, aged 46 years, and Tare Bennett, 3t,
were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with stealing a
purse containing 7s. 6d., the property of John Bennett,
who is not related to either prisoner.
Mr. Benson committed them for trial.

THE WEATHER.

Mr. E. J. Lowe, writing from Highfield House
Observatory, near Nottifigham, calls attention to the
extraordinary fall of snow. which occurred on Easter
Sunday. It continued, without ceasing, from 7 a.m.
till 2.55 p.m., and fell with. great violence from
10 a.m. till noon. The thickness on the ground was,
at 8- a.m., lin. ;at 11 a.m., 61-in. ; noon, qin. ; 12.30
p.m., 7in. The water on the lake was covered
deep with half-melted snow, through which the
waterfowl moved with difficulty. The snow fell in a
calm, and the trees were laden four and five inches
deep, and some redcedars (18 feet high) were so bent
as to touch the ground. The wire wheel of Mr.
Lowe's electrometer, which has withstood the snows
and storms of 20 years, was broken by the weight of
the snow. 'The temperature varied from 32 deg. to
30 deg.

THE PEN.LIN CONSUL FOR LEEDS.

•
A curious tale is told of Mr. Edward Stephens, the
sejected American Consul for Leeds. kfe is the son 01
Nirs. A. Stephens, the authoress, who it was said possessed
:onsiderable influence in the distribution of the Wade
ander President Johnson. Binckley, Solicitor of the
Treasury, went to New York to discover the "whisky
sings " there, and got into difficulties with Rollins, then
Internal Revenue Commissioner, and Courtney, United
3tatcs District Attorney. After his return to IVashington,
Lsourtney had a person of the name of Fitch arrested and
mprisoned for certain charges on the whisky business he.
sad made against him, and when in gaol Fitch confessed
shat he had been induced to make these charge's
Binehley and Mrs. Stephens, the object being to g"
Courtney and Rollins out of office, and General Burbidge
Ippointed as Internal Revenue Commissioner. I‘ll-9:
Stephens declared that the story of Fitch was untrue, but
some doubts were entertained respecting her feelings to;
wards Rollins. Meantime Mr. E. Stephens was nominal"
by Mr. Johnson as consul to Manchester, but the nosnina•
;ion fell through. Rollins contrived to procure front
President President Grant the dismissal of Binekley as Solicitor of
the Treasury, and the latter has given an account Of the
strong measures to which he resorted in consequence'
It seemed surprising that after all this Mr. E. StePilees
should have secured from General Grant the nomination
of Consul to Leeds. It is said that it was through the
signing of papers by half a dozen senators who could lot
refuse the request of a lady in so trivial a matter'
Rumour attributes the rejection by the Senate of tlsis
nomination to the curious stories that were afloat con'
cerning the several individuals mentioned. Besides this,
General Burbidge has lately been arrested in Washington,
and bound over to answer a charge of bribery in receivinl
money from distilleries engaged in defrauding Govern:
ment. The conclusion to be drawn from all this is that
the lady has been deceived by her friends, and that she
has now a fair opportunity of producing a more OOP
tional romance than any she has yet written, if she rePre.
cents faithfully the proceedings in the lobby at Washing'
ton, and the influences which the wirepullers bring t°

THE O'FARRELL TRIAL.

Mr. lIONSELL, in reply to Mr. Newlegato, said no
direction was given by the Home Government to the Go-
vernment in the colony to suppress any of the evichnce
taken at the trill of O'Farrell ; and with respect to the re-
port and evidence ho did not think it would be advisable
to put the country to the expense of printing the volumi-
nous floater.

Mr.IIAtiLTIRE said ho hoped it would be borne in mind
that the act of O'Farrell was an isolated one, and that ho
was quite unconnected with any body of persons, that in
fact his crime was the result of delirium tremens, or in
fact he might say of a lunatic. It was just that this fact
should be clearly made known. (Hear, hear.)

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.

In spite of Sir Francis Grant's assertion at the
Royal Academy dinner that every " accepted" picture
this year has been placed, there is more than usual
dissatisfaction among artists on account of the rejec-
tions which have taken place. It is not merely that
artists little known to fame have had pictures
sent back which not merely " partial friends,"
but good critics, thought safe to be exhi-
bited, but that some artists well known
in every way have been among the excluded.
Altogether nearly I,ICO pictures have been turned
away, many of them of far greater merit than some
of those exhibited. So strong is the feeling of
resentment that it has been determined to start
another academy, and it is stated that £5,C00 was
subscribed on Saturday among well-known patrons
of the fine arts on the Stock Exchange, although
May I is a dies awn SD far rs 'Change is concerned.
It is hoped that the movement thts vigorously
begun will, next year, result in a formidable rival to
the Royal Academy.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Col. French, said the

ing from what had alleady boon done, ho thought
it might he possible t hat the committee would close with

of it on the Thursday following, and then move that the

THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.

The French Government seems to have made up its
mind to lose all the eight circumscriptions of Paris again
at the general election. At least the Public, a Ministerial
organ, has published an article, in which is expressed the
opinion that it is hopeless to expect the benighted Pari-
sians to vote for an Imperialist. But one fact
mentioned by the Parisian correspondent of the 2'imes
is worthy of note. The Government has made and is
making, the most desperate efforts to oust M. Tillers. The
speeches of this statesman are so damaging that he must
be got out at any price. But the Government cannot
persuade the Paris workmen to vote for anybod3- else. It
has, therefore, adopted another expedient. The boun-
daries of the eight circumscriptions—answering to the
" boroughs" of London—have been remodelled, and

the division returning M. Thiers has been
distorted in the most extraordinary naunr. In-
stead of forming a compact quarter of Paris, like the
City of London is of the metropolis, it has been dragge-1
out into a narrow channel, so as to include the Palace of

the Tuileries, a barrack full of gendarmes who are enlisted
as electors, and the Prefecture of Police with its voting
officials of all kinds. The map of Paris looks ridiculous,
but the Government gets the votes of the prefecture and
the barrack against M. 'Tiers.

RECONSTRUCTION.

The new Reconstruction Bill, allowing Virginia, Texas,
and Mississippi to return to the Union, has become law.
As a condition, however, the Legislatures of these States
must ratify the Fifteenth Amendment to the Consti-
tution. But this will doubtless be done, for the amend-
ment simply establishes negro suffrage all over the Union,
and the negro is already a voter in the South. The three
Legislatures will thus only be imposing in the North a
condition of things which already exists in the South.
