Police-constable 27 B. R., said ha found defendant
drunk and incapable last night in the Marlborough-road,

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The charges against Mr. Beaumont, in Yorkshire, and
Mr. Hutton, at Northallerton, having signallyfailed, only
one petition is still in hearing.
At Hastings, on Thursday, several additional witnesses
were examined to prove that electors had been supplied
with drink, and driven to the poll, which closed the case
for the petitioners.—Mr. Serjeant Ballantine having
addressed his lordship on behalf of the respondents, Mrs.
Brassey, wife of one of them, underwent with much
patience and good temper a long examination and cross-
examination, and denied patron ising any tradesmen with
a view to influence their votes in the slightest degree, or
bribing witnesses who said she had done so. Her reason
for canvassing for her husband was that she understood
there had been an active canvass by ladies on the other
side. Mrs. Standen, the woman alleged to have been bribed
by the last witness, was called, and utterly denied that
any such transaction ever occurred at her house. She
did not know the witnesses Knight and Brissenden.
Mr. T. Brassey, jun., M.P., one of the respondents, was
then examined. When he entered upon the contest at
Hastings there was an honourable understanding between
him and his colleague, Mr. North, that the election should
be perfectly free from corrupt practices, and so far as he
was concerned he carried out that agreement in the letter i
and in the spirit.

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.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 170. per £1 sterling.
Oncomparing these rates with the English Mut price of
£3 cis. 104 d. per ounce for 'standard gold, it appws that
gold at the above price is of abut the same value in Lon
don and Paris.

DEEP SEA HERRING FISHING BUSSES.—Ditch
fishermen have been long known to excel all other fisher-
men for capturing, gutting, bleeding, and curing herring
on board of their vessels, called busses, at sea. The
further north that herrings are caught when on their
passage from the Arctic regions to our shores to deposit
their spawn, the fatter, firmer, and richer the fish are in
quality. The Dutch fishermen, being aware of that fact,
fit out large decked busses and equip them with fishermen,
fishcurers, coopers, barrel staves, and salt for curing fish.
They proceed to Shetland in the month of June, and there
they meet with the large shoals of herring that arrive every
autumn at our shores from the North Seas. The first im-
portations into the continental markets of these herrings,
caught and cured on board of Dutch busses at sea, fetch
not unfroquently .£2 per barrel. The Dutch eat this de-
scription of cured herrings raw as a luxury. Mr. H.
! Dempster, of deep-sea fishing notoriety, has been ern-,
ployed latterly interesting the Government with the true
importance of the deep-sea herring-fishing question, with
the view that they will take the matter up and recommend
to the country the building and equipiog depp-sea herring-
fishing busses, to prosecute that fishing upon principles
similar to the Dutch.
WILD OATS.—This horse, whose name has been so pro-
minently lx-fore the public in connection with the great
three-yr-old events, was yesterday driven to the extreme
outside division. In the course of the day the following
notice was posted at Newmarket :—" This horse's leg
having filled, it is, in the opinion of his trainer, almost
impossible to bring him to the post for the Two Thousand
Guineas. The Duke of 'Hamilton being abroad, and not
having given me any authority, I can take no further
steps until I receive Lis instructione.—(Signed) "NEW-

Mr. Jenkins applied on behalf of Mr. Tyrrell, fora rule
nisi calling upon an attorney to show cause why he should

application arose cut of the cause of Bryant v. Foote,
which had been so frequently before the courts, and in-
volved the right of the Rev. John Foote, rector of Horton,
in Buckinghamshire, to chtim a certain fee on the marriage
of a parishioner.—Rule granted.

STEALING A DIAMOND TING. Amelia Bailey was
charged before lar.K.uti-with -St-eiding a diamond ring,
.the prope: ty of Miss Arabella Goddard (Mrs. J. W. David-
son), aro well-known pianist, of No. 213, Upper Wimpolo-

street.
Pollee-constable .James Smith, 150 S, said ho wai called
to a pawnbroker's shop, No. 3 ), London-street, where lie
was told that the prisoner had offered the ring ror sale, and
the prisoner then said that she had found it.
Alcxander Donaldson, managar to Mr. Harding, of Lon-
don-street, said the prisoner offer the ring in pledge, and
on asking her if it belonged to her she said that it Wil3
presented to her three years ago by her husband before
she was married, and that her name was Ann Goddard,
of 15, Howland-street, not believing her story, he sent foi
a constable. _ _

Tho prosecutrix said the prisoner had been in her ser-
vice. The ring was her property, and of the value of
£l2, and she missed it on the 4th of March.
The prisoner was remanded, and on being brought up
to-day Smith said that since the last occasion he had
searched the prisoner's box, and found some linen and
other articles belonging to the prosecutris.

The prosecutrix said the value of all the property was
about .£l4, and that groat confidence was placed in the
prisoner.
The prisoner asked that leniency might be shown her,
and that if the magistrate was going ,to punish her at all
to do so at once.
Mr. Knox said the prisoner had not committed a single
theft, but several, and that groat trust had been placed in
her. Her conduct had been base and treacherous, and
she would be committed for six months with hard labour.

THAMES.

TEE WIDOW AND TUE PORK. —Margaret Butterworth, a
large red-faced grog-blossomed widow, aged bO, of Beau-
ford-road, Stratford, was charged with stealing one pound
of pork chops, the property of Mr. Thomas Humphreys,
choesemonger, 127, Salmon-lane, and it hand of pork, the
property of another tradesman.

Mr. Humphreys saw the prieoner come into his shop
while he was very busy, and she. looked at a hock of
hacon and then handled some pork chops on a board.
She took up the whole lot, put them under her shawl,land
walked out of the shop. Mr. Humphreys followed her,
and intimated to her that she had taken some pork chops
and concealed thorn undcr her dress. "Oh dear, no," said
the widow. "Oh dour, yes," replied Mr. Humphreys,
who relieved her of the chops, and at the same time took
from her a largo hand of pork, which she had stolen from
the shop of a neighbouring butcher, who received it and
took it home.

The widow said she was a poor lone woman, anl could
not make out what induced her to remove the pork chops;
she was ♦ery sorry, indeed, very sorry ; it was quite a
mistake.

The Magistrate—You are very fond of pork, Margaret
Butterworth. You steal a large hand of pork from one
shop and pork chops from another—two mistakes in a few
minutes—and you had more than 7s. about you. This is
not a case of distress.

A police-eonstable—Three shillings and a penny was a
he money she had.

The Magistrato —On the police-skeet it is written,
money found on the prisoner Gs. 6,1. in silver and 9!d. it
copper. This is another mistake to which you will call
the inspector's attention. As for you, Margaret Butter-
worth, for the mistakes you have committed, you must
undergo the discipline of the House of Correction at West-
minster for two mouths, there to be kept to hard labour.

ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

The Earl SHAFTESBURY moved 1;;;e- -ond reading
of this bill, the object of which was to cheapen and ex-
pedite the mode of procedure in the Ecclesiastical Court.
After a short discnssion the bill was read a second time,
and referred to a select committee.

The Clergy Discipline and Ecclesiastical Courts Bill
was also read a second time, and sent to the same

committee.

Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COSINIONS.—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
TIIE IRISH CHURCII 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 HARTINGTON 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 view 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 for 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 bo taken that the rights
conferred by the Reform Act of last session were not
interfered with. (Hear, hear.)

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA.

It is expected that the scheme for establishing ovevand
telegraphic communication between England and India
will be completed this year. Wires are already laid along a
great part of the route. The line goes from London by
way of Thorn, on the Prussian frontier of Russia. Thence
it passes through Warsaw to Odessa, through the Crimea
to Tiflis, and thence to Teheran, in Persia, where it will
join existing lines. Great difficulties, arising from the
nature of the territory through which much of
the telegraph passes, have been encountered. The prospect
of such a speedy termination to the work is both surprising
and satisfactory.
London, England, 1869-04-16

CIVIL WAR IN JAPAN.

The " settlement " in Japan has been of the most tem•
porary character. The civil war, which was reported as
terminated, has bioken out again. On the day that the
Mikado, the successful prince, was married with great
pomp, some disturbances took place between the partisans
of two rival magnates. The outbreak spread. An ad-
miral, a partisan of the fallen Tycoon, took possession cf
one of the largest Japan islands, and established a Provi-
sional Government. The party of the North, favourable
to the Tycoon, seem to have taken arms agan, and to have
made some progress.

SIR SAMUEL BAKER'S EXPEDITION.
Sir Samuel Baker's expedition to the region around the
sources of the Nile is an idea of considerable magnitude.
The Viceroy of Egypt is prepared to furnish any material,
troops, and supplies that may be necessary. Sir S. Baker
is empowered to occupy the whole of the district lying
between the fourth degree of north and the second
degree of south latitude. The primary object of
the undertaking is to put a stop to the slave
trade. Khartoum, situated at the junction of the
two great branches of the Nile, is the great
emporium for slaves at present. Through this
town they are sent to Egypt and the Red Sea. Sir Samuel
Baker will stop the departure of any vessels from
Khartoum. Steamers will cruise from this emporium,
and military posts will be established at proper intervals,
thus closing the only northern outlet of the Central
African slave trade. These posts will extend from
Khartoum to the Albert Nyanza lake, two degrees south
of the Equator. The whole of the intervening territory is
to be subjugated, the wars between the native chieftains
will be forbidden, and thus the supply of slaves will be
cut off. The undertaking is clearly neither trifline nor
easy.

THE MASTERSHIP OF THE TEMPLE.
The Guardian believes that there is some mistake
as to Archdeacon Robinson's resignation of the Mas-
tership of the Temple. Ile will shortly complete
the term which will entitle him to a pension; but in
the meanwhile he is not likely to resign. Dr. Miller,
Mr. Plumptrc, and Mr. Liddon have been mentioned
in ecclesiastical circles as the Archdeacon's suc-
cessor.

TIVO MEN BURNED TO DEATH.

A shocking fatality occurred at Clverstone on Tues-
day morning. At a public-house, which overlooks More-
combe Bay, John Proctor, boatbuilder, aged forty-fivo years,
and James Tyson, quarryman, fifty-two, both single men,
lodged. On Monday night, the two went to bed drunk. At
seven o'clock on the following morning two lodgers per-
ceived a smell as of something burning, and they went
to the room in which Proctor and Tyson were.
Upon their opening the door the bedclothes burst
into flames, and it was then found that the men
were dead. Tyson's right hand was burned off to the wrist,
and one side of his head was entirely gone. Proctor was
only slightly burned, and his death had apparently been
caused by suffocation. The latter was fully dressed, and in
his pockets were matches and pipes.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET,

STEALING A DIAMOND RING. - Amelia Bailey was
charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a diamond ring,
the property of Miss Arabella Goddard (Mrs. J. W. DaTid-
son), ea() well-known pianist, of No. 26, Upper Wimpole-
street.

Police-constable James Smith, 130 5, said he wai called
to a pawnbroker's shop, No. 30, London-street, where he
was told that the prisoner had offered the ring ror sale, and
the prisoner then said that she had found it.

Alexander Donaldson, manngar to Mr. Harding. of Lon-
don-street, said the prisoner offer the ring in pledge, and
on asking her if it belonged to her sho said that it WM
presented to her three years ago by her husband before
she was married, and that her name was Ann Goddard,
of 15, Howland-street, not believing her story, ho sent for
a constable.

The prosecutrix said the prisoner had been in her ser-
vice. The ring was her property, and of the value of
£1.2, and she missed it on the 4th of March.
The prisoner was remanded, and on being brought up
to-day Smith said that since the last occasion he had
searched the prisoner's box, and found some linen and
other articles belonging to the prosecutrix.

The prosecutrix said the value of all the property was
about £l4, and that great confidence was placed in the
prisoner.

The prisoner asked that leniency might be shown her,
and that if tho magistrate was going to punish her at all
to do so at once.

Mr. Knox said the prisoner had not committed a single
theft, but several, and tint great trust had been placed in
her. Her conduct had been base and treacherous, and
she would be committed for six months with hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7 his Day.

a-
T HAM ES.
THE WIDOW AND TILE PORK. —Margaret Butterworth, a
large red-faced grog-blossomed widow, aged 50, of Beau-
ford-road, Stratford, was charged with stealing one pound
of pork chops, the property of Mr. Thomas Humphreys,
cheesemonger, 127, S.l.non-lano, And a hand of pork, the
property of another tradesman.
Mr. Humphreys saw the prisoner COM" into his shop
while he was very busy, and she looked at a hock of
bacon and then handled some pork chops on a board.
She took up the whole lot, put them under her shawl,land
walked out of the shop. Mr. Humphreys followed her,
and intimated to her that she had taken some pork chops
and concealed thorn under her dress. "Oh dear, no," said
the widow. "Oh dear, yes," replied Mr. Humphreys,
who relieved her of the chops, and at the same time took
from her a large hand of pork, which she bad stolen from
the shbp of a neighbouring butcher, whO received it and
took it home.
The widow said she was a poor lone womn, and could
not make out what induced her to remove the pork chops;
she was very sorry, indeed, very sorry ; it was quite a
mistake.

The Magistrate—You are very fond of pork, Margaret
Butterworth. You steal a large hand of pork from one
shop and pork chops from another—two mistakes in a few
minutes—and you had more than is. about you. This is
not a case of distress.

A police-constable—Three shillings and a penny was al
• the money she bad. .

The Magistrate —On the police-skeet it is written,
money found on the prisoner Gs. 6d. in silver and 91d. in
copper. This is another mistake to which you will call
the inspector's attention. As for you, Margaret Butter-
worth, for the mistakes you have committed, you must
undergo the discipline of the House of Correction at West-
minster for two months, there to be kept to hard labour.

SPAIN.

MADRID, April 15 (Evening.)
In to-day's sitting of the Cortes, Senor Balaguer
asked the Government whether it were true that
France had taken the Carlist movement under her
protection.

General Prim replied in the negative, adding
that the movement would certainly be suppressed.
The debate on the Constitution was then re-
sumed. An amendment of Senor Orense to the
preliminary article of the Constitution, prejudging
the question of the form of Government, was re-
jected. The first Article was agreed to after re-
placing the word " monarchy " by the word
" nation." The Directive Committee of the ma-
jority has resolved to postpone the decision on the
question of the form of Government until a more
opportune time.

EL ECTION P ETITIONS.

The charges against Mr. Beaumont, in Yorkshire, and
Mr. Hutton, at Northallerton, having signally failed, only
one petition is still in hearing.

At Hastings, on Thursday, several additional witnesses
were examined to prove that electors had been supplied
with drink, and driven to the poll, which closed the case
for the petitioners.—Mr. Serjeant Ballantine having
addressed his lordship on behalf of the respondents, Mrs.
Brassey, wife of one of them, underwent with much
patience and good temper a long examination and cross-
examination, and denied patron icing any tradesmen with
a view to influence their votes in the slightest degree, or
bribing witnesses who said she had done so. Her reason
for canvassing for her husband was that she understood
there had been an active canvass by ladies on the other
side. Mrs. Standen, the woman alleged to have been bribed
by the last witness, was called, and utterly denied that
any such transaction ever occurred at her house. She
did not know the witnesses Knight and Brissenden.
Mr. T. Brassey, jun., M.P., one of the respondents, was
then examined. When he entered upon the contest at
Hastings there was an honourable understanding between
him and his colleague, Mr. North, that the election should
be perfectly free from corrupt practices, and so far as he
was concerned he carried out that agreement in the letter
and in the spirit.

TWO MEN" BURYED TO DEATH.

- o

A shockirg fatality occurred at Cr'version° on Tues-
day morning. At a public-house, which overlooks More-
combe Bay, John Proctor, boatbuilder, aged forty-five years,
and James Tyson, quarryman, fifty-two, both single men,
lodged. On Monday night, the two went to bed drunk. At
seven o'clock on the following morning two lodgers per-
ceived a smell as of something burning, and they went
to the room in which Proctor and Tyson were.
Upon their opening the door the bedclothes burst
into flames, and it was then found that the men
were dead. Tyson's right hand was burned off to the wrist,
and one side of his head was entirely gone. Proctor was
only slightly burned, and his death had apparently been
caused by suffocation. The latter was fully dressed, and in
his pockets were matches and pipes.

Mr. LAYARD, in reply to Mr. Peek, said it would be

LEGAL TECHNICALITIES.

Lord Campbell, in his " Life of Lord Brougham,"

to defend several criminal cases. There was that of a

or wether, arguing that if the indictment had
simply said " animal," it would not have been
sufficient. We are told the legal mind of
the judge was at first much exercised until
the prosecuting counsel pointed out the words of the
statute. Then a man was charged with stealing
" boots," and it turned out that he had purloined
" half-boots." The then Mr. Brougham made the
obvious objection, and persisted
in it until the
judge, finding out that he was being played with,
put down the counsel with much assumed dignity.
Something of the kind has just taken place at Bir-
mingham. Two prisoners were charged with steal-
ing " deal boards fixed to a building." That they
had stolen certain boards was proved ; but the
Recorder, who was trying the case, discovered that
what they had taken was " woodwork belonging t 9 a
building." And so the prisoners were letloose. What
