PROFESSIONAL DEGGARS.—A t Westminster Police-court,
on Wednesday, a sturdy-looking man was charged with
begging. The magistrate took the opportunity of referring
to a recent letter in the Times, in which it was stated no
constable could interfere with a beggar unless given into
his charge by a civilian. Mr. Arnold took occasion to
correct that impression. If a policeman saw a vagrant
in the act of begging, it was his duty to arrest him, and,
as a rule, such cases were dealt with in the absence of
corroborative evidence.

A FATAL ACCIDENT. - At Clerkenwell, on Wednesday,
a carman, named Stephen Ford, was charged with causing
:he death of a solicitor, named Ware, of Chard, Somerset-
shire, and Arthur-street, London Bridge. It appeared
from the evidence that the accident was not due to the

prisoner, as the deceased fell under the wheels of his cart
while in a state of intoxication. Ford was accordingly
discharged.

THE ELECTION PETITIONS.

Three petitions are now in hearing, and in all a certain
amount of progress is being made. Mr. Justice Black-
burn is at Hastings, Mr. Baron Martin in the South-West
Riding of Yorkshire, and Mr. Justice Willes at North-
allerton.

CAPITAL PUNISIBIENT.

The first session of the Householders' Parliament is
not to pass without an attempt to procure the aboli-
tion of capital punishment. Mr. Gilpin, Mr. Had-
field, Mr. M.Laren, and Sir John Gray have prepared
a bill on the subject, which seeks to substitute a life
sentence for the one of death. The case of Wilt-
shire. who, while in prospect of death a week thence,
attempted to murder his warder, is not likely
materially to aid these reformers.

THE STRIKE IN BELGIUM.

The great strike at Seraing, near Liege, still continues.
The men employed on some of the minor works
have resumed their duties, but those engaged in
the Messrs. Cockerell's establishment still hold out. Bands
of workmen hang about the village, but no further dis-
turbances have taken place. A strong military force,
under the command of a general, is on the ground. The
Indipendance Beige says that symptoms of a settlement
present themselves. When the affair is at end, we may,
perhaps, learn the cause of it, for at present it is a mys-
tery. The reports of men killed seem to be incorrect, for
hitherto but one man has died of his wounds.
ENGLISHMEN IN PARAGIT44.T.
Mr. Lowe's amusing allusion in his Budget speech to a
possible "war with Paraguay" must have been half serious.
At all events it seems that some British subjects are
detained by Lopez against their will, and an attempt ie
to he made to rescue them. According to the latest
intelligence, Lopez had fled to the Cordilleras mountains,
and a column of Brazilians was preparing to follow
him. Captain Parsons, of the gunboat Beacon, with
a strong body of marines, intended to accompany this
expedition in order to rescue the captive Englishmen.
It is probable that an eminent Paraguayan citizen will
assume the Presidency of the vanquished Republic.
Nobody knows what has become of General MacMahon,
the American representative in Paraguay.

The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management aro less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing
of the two the company. The whole two officeslast absorbed
expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 51i-
per cent. on the total income.

THE IRISH CHURCH FUNDS.
Mr. WHALLEY gave notice of his intention to move that
any surplus that might remain of the revenue of the Irish.
Church after compensation had been made should be ap-
plied to the reduction of the national debt. (Hear, hear,
and laughter.)
The Marquis of HA.RTINGTON said it Was the desire
to protect as far as possible the health of the persons en-
gaged in the transmission of mails, and with that vi.-w it
was about to try the experiment of sorting the mails be-
tween Plymouth and Bristol instead of as was now done
at sea. lie did not say that the arrangement fur sorting
the letters was completed.
RESTORATION OF COMPOUNDING.

Mr. GOSOHEN, in reply to Lord Henley, said it was
the intention of the Government to proceed with the
Assessment Bill, but he might say that it was his inten-
tion to move the introduction of clauses to enable the
owners of small properties to make arrangements for the
payment of the rates levied thereon. He would lay upon
the table the clauses he proposed to introduce as soon as
possible; care would also have to be taken that the rights
conferred by the Reform Act of last session were not
interfered with. (Hear, hear.)
'WOOLWICH 'DOCKYARD.

Mr. CHILDERS informed—the house, in reply to a
question from Mr. Mills, that Mr. Barnes was not entitled
to a pension for his 25 years' duties as Admiralty pilot, as
he had received full pilotage, which was considered quite
sufficient for the services rendered. No eligible offer had
yet been made for the premises at Woolwich, and at the
present moment he could nut say what would be done
with it.

BAT EIING—BATTERSEA PARK.
Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. Peek, said it would be
inconvenient to allow persons to bathe in the concreted
water in Battersea-park until a bathing house was erected.
The water was very shallow, and he doubted whether, if
the use of the water was allowed, the bathers would de-
rive any great benefit from the privilege.
LANDLORDS' TAXES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to
Mr. Greville, said tenants called upon in January next
to pay their landlords' assessed taxes would be entitled to
deduct them from the rent dile in March. The tenant, he
did not think, would suppose it any great hardship in
being called upon to pay the charges before the ordinary
time.

THE CONTEST AT BRECON.

Lord Hyde, the eldest son of the Earl of Clarendon, has
issued his address to the electors of Brecon. lie
promises to give his unflinching support to the
Government upon the Irish Church question ; to sup-
port a broad system of education ; Mr. Coleridge's system
for opening universities, and other Liberal measures.
At a public meeting his lordship explained his views on
the various questions of the day, which were considered
satisfactory, and a resolution was adopted pledging the
meeting to support Lord Hyde to the utmost of its power.
The noble lord has since prosecuted an energetic and
vigorous can:•ass of the constituency.
Lord Claude John Hamilton, the former member
for Londonderry, who has come forward in the
Conservative interest, addressed a meeting of his
party on Tuesday. He believed our institutions required
reforming as education increased in the country,
and the people became more enlightened. It was neces-
sary not to overthrow, but to improve our institutions
according to the necessities of the times, and he was
opposed to violent changes. Alluding to the Irish
Church question, lie charged Mr. Gladstone with break-
ing faith with the country for giving £360,000 to the
Maynooth College, when he now said that more of
the revenues of the Irish Church should be applied
to other religions. He avowed himself in favour
of opening the universities to Dissenters, but
thought, for the present, the governing body should
be confined to Churchmen. lie also stated he was op- )
posed to the Ballot as un-English, and then proceeded to
endeavour to chew that the Conservatives were the work-
ing man's friendsoy referring to measures affecting them
which had been introduced by the Conservatives, and
opposed by the Liberals.
Mr. Noel has given notice that he will move for the
new writ on Friday evening.

THE ST. JAMES'S HALL MEETING.

The lay meeting for protesting against the Irish
Church Bill promises to be nearly as influential as
the famous clerical demonstration of last year. In
the place of the archbishop, bishops, and deans, on
May 3, we are to have dukes, earls, viscounts, M.P.'s,
and notable laymen. The Earl of Harrowby takes
the chair, and is to be supported by the Duke of
Marlborough, the Duke of Abercorn, the Marquis
of lliimilton,"Viscount Sandon, M.P. for Liverpool;
Sir Joseph Napier, the Hon. D. Plunkett, and Mr.
J. C. Colquhoun. But though the attendants of the
meeting stand so high, in raison d'etre it is very far
below the meeting over which the late Archbishop
had to exercise his control. Then the question had
hardly been discussed to the full ; now the very name
is weariness. Then the opinion of the country had
not been tested, washardly, perhaps, properly formed;
now a House of Commons sits elected almost solely
to deal with the Irish Church.
THE KNIGHT OF KERRY ON THE HUSH CHURCH.
The Knight of Kerry writes a very ingenious
letter to the Times on the Irish Church question,
referring generally to the disendowment scheme, and
particularly to the question of tithes. He protests
against the tax being used for other than religious
purposes ; laying down as an incontrovertible propo-
sition " that if on any particular description of pro-
perty the State shall impose a special charge for a
special purpose, so soon as the State shall decide
that the special purpose shall no longer
be maintained, the charge should in justice
cease also." Sir P. Fitzgerald points out that
in return for the charge the Protestant was pro-
vided with religious instruction. It was evidently
unfair for the Roman Catholic to have to pay it
because he could not attend the ministrations pro-
vided by it. But it is now equally unfair to require
the Protestant to pay his money, and give him no
adequate return. The hon. knight proposes instead
that the tithes as such shall, after a manner,
cease, but that provision shall be made for the pay-
ment by Roman Catholics to their Church, of Pro-
testants to theirs, of Dissenters to theirs. In effect
the scheme is one for equal endowment, the plan
propounded by Dean Stanley and definitely accepted
by no party in the State.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA.

Mr. Berger, the honorary director of the Inland China
Mission, furnishes the Times with a detailed account of
the missionary outrage at Yangchow. But though
the particulars are given at greater length by Mr. Berger,
he has nothing substantially new to report. He argues
that the missionaries were not responsible for the dis-
turbances. The Chinese population are hostile to
foreigners, but not to the extent of violence. It is
when excited by priests and others in superior stations of
life that they become excited, and give vent to their feel-
ings. The outrage at Yangchow was wholly caused by
he Chinese literati and military officials. From the time
that the missionaries entered Yangchow up to the date
of the disturbances—about a month—the missionaries bad
not commenced any public efforts, nor had they preached
against the religion of the people, nor renderedthemselves
obnoxious. The "literati," who fear that if Christianity
spreads in China the religion of Confucius will be de-
stroyed, excited the people to the " siege " of the mis-
sionaries' house. It is unnecessary to repeat the rest of
the story. Mr. Berger's narrative is in no respect likely
to influence public opinion. It is quite natural that the
literati, and the governing classes in China generally,
should be jealous of the introduction of a faith which they
think likely to weaken their authority. It is natural
VIA they should enlist the people on their side. These
I),*t indices should not be violently thrust aside--indeed,
they cannot be—but gradually overcome. Hence it would
be wise if the missionaries followed in the track of trade
and civilisation. But if they decline to do this, they must
not expect armed intervention.

This Hospital, founded iu 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
benevolent, 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.

TEE CORN DITTY.

Mr. Frederick S. Corrance, the hon. member tor
East Suffolk, is very angry with Mr. Lowe for seeking
to repeal the duty on corn. After claiming to be the
promoters of free trade, the Conservatives could not
in all conscience raise again the cry of " Protection.'
Mr. Corrance does not do so, but argues that the
proposed repeal will not benefit the consumer. If it
simply goes to increase the incomes of corn dealers,
Mr. Lowe is legislating for a class, and doing harm
lo the community. This, Mr. Corrance says, he is doing ;
and, writing to the Times, calls upon the payers of
income tax to protest against it.
London, England, 1869-04-15

THE ST. JAMES'S HALL MEETING.

The lay meeting for protesting against the Irish
Church Bill promises to be nearly as influential as
the famous clerical demonstration of last year. In
the place of the archbishop, bishops, and deans, on
May 3, we are to have dukes, earls, viscounts, M.P.'s,
and notable laymen. The Earl of Harrowby takes
the chair, and is to be supported by the Duke of
Marlborough, the Duke of Abercorn, the Marquis
of Mimilton, Viscount Sandon, M.P. for Liverpool;
Sir Joseph Napier, the Hon. D. Plunkett, and Mr.
J. C. Colquhoun. But though the attendants of the
meeting stand so high, in raison d'être it is very far
below the meeting over which the late Archbishop
had to exercise his control. Then the question had
hardly been discussed to the full ; now the very name
is weariness. Then the opinion of the country had
not been tested, was hardly, perhaps, properly formed;
now a House of Commons sits elected almost solely
to deal with the Irish Church.
THE KNIGHT OF KERRY ON THE HUSH CHURCH.
The Knight of Kerry writes a very ingenious
letter to the Times on the Irish Church question,
referring generally to the disendowment scheme, and
particularly to the question of tithes. He protests
against the tax being used for other than religious
purposes ; laying down as an incontrovertible propo-
sition " that if on any particular description of pro-
perty the State shall impose a special charge for a
special purpose, so soon as the State shall decide
that the special purpose shall no longer
be maintained, the charge should in justice
cease also." Sir P. Fitzgerald points out that
in return for the charge the Protestant was pro-
vided with religious instruction. It was evidently
unfair for the Roman Catholic to have to pay it
because he could not attend the ministrations pro-

vided by it. But it is now equally unfair to require
the Protestant to pay his money, and give him no
adequate return. The hon. knight proposes instead
that the tithes as such shall, after a manner,
cease, but that provision shall be made for the pay-
ment by Roman Catholics to their Church, of Pro-
testants to theirs, of Dissenters to theirs. In effect
the scheme is one for equal endowment, the plan
propounded by Dean Stanley and definitely accepted
by no party in the State.

THE OVERLAND ROUTE.

The French Government has outwitted itself. By its
interposing vexatious delays in the way of passengers
travelling over Mont Cenis, and so seeking to check
the rivalries between Brindisi and Marseilles as ports
for travellers on the overland route, other Govern-
ments have been induced to offer facilities. Arrange-
ments are complete, and the requisite conventions
have been signed for running a through train,
without a change of canines, from Qstenito IRM-

TEE POPE'S JUBILEE.

The Queen of England, the Emperor of Russia, and the
King of Prussia were amongst the non-Catholic sovereigns
who sent messages of congratulation to the Pope on the
occasion of his jubilee. In the list of Catholic sovereigns
occurs the name of the " Empress of Mexico." On
Monday his Holiness received more than fifty
telegrams of congratulation from the principal
dioceses, convents, or Catholic committees abroad. The
Nuncio at Madrid forwarded the compliments of the
chiefs of the Spanish Government. In the morning
the Pope visited the hospice of Santa Anna, and prayed
in the church where he celebrated his first mass; then he
received several of the older pensioners of the establishment.
In the evening his Holiness went to St. Agnes Withoutthe
Walls, where a memorable accident occurred on the 12th
April, 1855. In returning, the Pope passed through the
city, which was splendidly illuminated in commemoration
of his return from Gaeta on the same date in 1850. The
Osserratore says that enthusiastic ovations greet his Holi-
ness everywhere. He is in excellent health.
The German Catholics have been conspicuous in their
demonstrations of respect on this occasion. 'Very large
donations of money have come from Germany. An
address has likewise been sent. This monster testimonial
is signed by the King of Saxony and his family, fourteen
other princes, 150 nobles, and about one million names of
lesser note. The sheets on which these signatures are
written have been bound in a magnificent volume.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.

The little bill of the Bombay Government against
our own for managing the Abyssinian expedition
amounts to to 8600. Of this modest sum
£3,250,000 is charged for the hire and fitting up of
transports, and £850,000 for coals, commissariat. and
stores.

FOREIGN NOTES.
SUCCSSS OP THE CUBAN INSURRECTION.

In the Spanish Cortes, on Monday, Marshal Serrano, in
reply to a question, acknowledged that the Government
had received unfavourable news from Cuba. The situa-
tion was becoming worse. The great distance of the
island from Spain, the emptiness of the Spanish Treasury,
the rugged nature of the country, and the aid given by
the Americans, are doing their work. The Spanish
Government is evidently preparing to part with the pearl
of the Antilles.
