"Defiance,
a fair specimen of the rest. lie said that " a great
deal of tinkering was being attempted with the trade
of the licensed victuallers at the present time, from
one side or another ; and, inasmuch as the licensing
system was acknowledged on all hands not to be
perfect, they must make a bold front, and let the
Legislature know, by their presence in Parliament,
that the interests of the trade must be consulted
previous to any legislation taking place." He
declared that the origin of all the evils to which the
victuallers were now exposed was the power .of the
Excise to grant licenses to beerhouses, and that if this
power were taken away and the magistrates made
the only licensing authority, the victuallers would
be protected, and ills Sabbatarians and the
teetotalers would be pacified. The speaker
sheaved himself profoundly ignorant of the
question he was discussing. He did not know that
the teetotalers, at all events, distrust the magis-
trates more than anyane, and demand that the ques-
tion of licensing shall he decided by the rateorr6f3.
The secretary of the Defence Association gave figures
by way of shelving that there may be too much of a
good thing—too much beer even, and that something
ought to be done to stop the increase of becrshops
where beer is sold at any hour, day or
night, working days or Sundays. There were
for instance 2:36 of such houses in Sheffield alone, not
reckoning the grocers' and the provision shops.
Another speaker lamented that in the Staffordshire
colliery districts a man could sit down under the
hedgerow and drink beer ad libitum. It was generally
agreed that the licensed victuallers were the patterns
of society, and that they were most unfairly visited
with the sins of those low fellows the beershop men.
No doubt the stories about gin palaces where drunken
mothers pour liquid fire down their infants' throats
are all a delusion.

The Pall Mall Gazette declares that before we
put down intemperance we must put down temper-
ance advocates, because they cannot distinguish
between drinking and drunkenness. Unfortunately
they are not the only persons who are unable to
make this distinction. There are, as we learn from
the Alliance News, 450,000 paupers through drink
or drunkenness—we and they cannot tell which ;
there are 60,000 persons slain every year through
drink or drunkenness, 43,000 lunatics through
drink or drunkenness, and, say, 130,000 criminals
incited to crime through drink or drunkenness.
De minlinis non carat lex doubtless, only how about
this great army ? Surely that is worth the con-
sideration of the law and of lawgivers, and almost
of the Pall Mall Gazette.

RUSSIA.

An extraordinary sect, named the Skoptsii, which
adopts a barbarous mutilation as a portion of its rites, is
exciting much attention in Russia. The Government has
long been striving to exterminate this community, but its
great wealth, according to the Liberte, has hitherto enabled
it to escape. Its members seem to add their fortunes
together to form a common fund, which is intended to sub.
vert the present rule, establish a new kingdom in Russia,
and commence a new era in whia Skoptsii principles are
to prevail. This sesnas to be the immediate object of the
organisation. Several arrests have been made, and in the
vaults of the leader's house at St. Petersburg the sum of
£1,600,000 was found concealed.

TIIE METROPOLITAN RAILIVAY.

The most lamentable muddle into which our
railways got through paying dividends out of their
capital, has not restrained the directors of the
Metropolitan Railway from entering on the same
path. But happily shareholders—some of them at
least--are more watchful than they were years ago.
So the Metropolitan has been stopped at the outset
by an order from Vice-Chancellor James. The
result of this will be that the shareholders will have
to content themselves with 42 per cent. instead of 7.
But CI, with the knowledge that things are going
right, is better than 10 with bankruptcy ahead.

THE PAYMENT OP JURORS.
We are very fond of anomalies. If a jury have a
particularly hard case to discuss and settle, and can't
get over its difficulties, we shut them up without
meat or drink in order that the use of the digestive
organs may not impair the activity of the brain.
When a special jury has to take a verdict in about
two hours they have a guinea for their trouble;
when they have to sit day after clay to
investigate some such particularly delicate question
as that of the convent case, we pay them for their
services with the same coin. It may be very inadvis-
able to pay juries at all, it may be reckoned as part
of every man's duty as a citizen to " sit, hear, and
decide," when called upon; but if we do pay a man
for his trouble, why
.do we mock him by giving him
a guinea for a fortnight's work ? But then that is
one of the bulwarks of the British Constitution. •

CAPITAL PITNISIIMENT.

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.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The Marquis Cadorna has accepted the post of
Italian Minister in London, after it had been
refused by the Marquis Pepoli and Signor
Minghetti. Mr. Costa, the musical com-
poser, is to be knighted, by way of compensation,
we suppose, for ceasing to conduct the opera.—
The Albert Medal, of the second class, has
been conferred upon Mr. James Crowden,
one of the chief officers of Coastguard in
Scotland, for great gallantry displayed in saving life
on more than one occasion.—Mr. Wilfrid S. Blunt,
of the Legation at Berne, is to be married to Lady
Ann Noel, only daughter- of the Earl of Lovelace,
and granddaughter of Lord Byron ; and Mr. Hard-
castle, M.P., to the eldest daughter of the late Lord
Campbell.

open another house for this pitiable class.
The Society admitted to its homes last year 687 young
women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

never road a report of any charitable institution which so
entirely commended itself to my mind and awoke my

OFFICE-SEETIING IN AMERICA.

The place-hunters have laid President Grant up. The
American ruler has had four weeks of " power," and he
has found, indeed, that " uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown." His Cabinet has been rudely assaulted, the
Senate has maintained a disagreeable contest about the
tenure of Office Law, and members of Congress have con-
tinually badgered the unfortunate general. But worse
than all this is the plague of office-seekers. A vast
crowd of parasites of every station in life, and candidates
for every gradation of place, besiege the President
and all his Cabinet. There are seekers for private
secretaryships, and negro women applying for
clerkships. In one day the collector at New York
received 13,191 applications. 715 were for one post.
The aid of the police was called in to protect this unhappy
man from the mob. The President was unwell for three
days, but some of the office-seekers forced their way
through all barriers, and laid their appeals before the man
who vows he will never again pass through the first month
of Presidency.

Mr. BBUCE said he intended that evening to move for
leave to introduce a bill to consolidate the law with regard
to coal mines.
THE TELEGRAPHS BILL.
The Marquis of HAR CING TON, in reply to Mr.
Baines, said he was afraid he could not give any further
information on the subject than that he communicated the
other evening. The arbitration of the sums to b 3 paid to
some of the companies if the Government took the lines had
been completed, but the greater part yet remained to be ar-
ranged. When the arbitration had further advanced, so as
to give an idea of the gross sum required he would at
once state the course proposed by the Government. He
might, however, say that he should in a few days move,
in accordance with notice given iu the Gazette, for leave
to bring in a bill, while the bill of last session was carried
into operation, to give the Government the monopoly
of transmitting telegraphic messages.

MADAME RACHEL AND HER, BAIL,

(THIS DAY.)
To-day, the application to admit Madame Rachel to bail,
came before the Judge at Chambers. It will be recollected
that Mr Lewis, on the part of the prosecution, objected to
one of the parties tendered, Mr. West, optician, of Coventry_
street, and an adjournment was directed in order that
certain inquiries might bo made.

His Lordship, after hearing the parties, refused to ac-
cept the bail tendered. Thu result of the present applica-
tion will doubtless prevent an, further steps being taken
to procure the release of Aldme. Rachel, who will thus
remain at Nowgate until the result of the application for a
writ of error is known.

that he was sent into the world to be the scourge of
Mr. Gladstone, writes to the:Telegraph explaining the
policy of the Conservative party with reference to
disestablishment. Our sanguine contemporary
thought that the Tories had accepted disestablish-
ment. By no means, writes the agent of righteous
vengeance • if they had, the party would be deserving
of political annihilation. We will not, nor do we
intend, to accept the principle of the bill. The
rejection of the second clause, the very root of the
bill, Mr. Disraeli proposes to omit altogether.

THE CORN DUTIES.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
intended to collect the corn duties until the 4th June. after
which, if the house sanctioned the proposals he had sub-
mitted to it, it would altogether cease. He could not altor
the answer he had given the other day, that it was pro-
posed to allow any drawback.

THE DURATION OF FUTURE WARS.

Colonel Hamley's letter denying that future wars
will be short, has attracted some attention, and has
been much criticised. Those who deny his conclu-
sions point to the great preparations which have
been made of late for battle both on land and sea,
call attention to the various improvements and the
wonderful inventions which will in future
make war so very terrible, and ask if the blow
when struck will not be one of such tremendous
impact that the nation which receives it must
inevitably collapse. To this Colonel Hamley replies
that it will be absurd to deny that a strong Power
will be able to subdue a weak one more speedily ;
but he did not refer to an unequal contest in saying
that wars would still be long ones. Ile illus-
trated his meaning by speaking of France
and Prussia. If either of them endea-
voured to give the tremendous blow, the other
would be ready to ward it off, and to strike back
again with more effect on the exhausted adversary.
What, then, is the use of these great improvements ?
The answer is obvious. -War cannot be controlled
beforehand by agreement as to what weapons may
be used. Each belligerent must obtain and use the
best it can get ; otherwise it would be better perhaps
to have less destroying arms. Or it would be as well
to have the question fought out by a duel, by the
most expert swordsman on each side.

THE CORN DUTY.

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 tonsumer. 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.

THE CASE OF SHE WARD.

(THIS DAY.)
At the close of the arguments last night the Attorney-
General postponed giving his decision on the application
for his fiat for a writ of error iu this case until to-day. At
one o'clock it was announced to Mr. Poland, who appeared
last night for the prisoner, that the Attorney-General re-
fused to give his fiat. The result of which is that, with-
out other steps are taken to obtain a remission of the
sentence, Sheward will be executed on the day already
fixed.
NORWICH, Thursday.—It is reported this morning, on
good authority, that Sheward has made some statement
since his conviction, the precise nature of which has not
been divulged. Another anonymous letter has been re-
ceived by the magistrates' clerk.

➢IR. CHARLEY ON DISESTABLISHMENT.

Mr. Charley, who told his constituents at Salford
that he was sent into the world to be the seburge of
Mr. Gladstone, writes to the:Telegraph explaining the
policy of the Conservative party with reference to
dises tablishm en t. Our sanguine contemporary
thought that the Tories had accepted disestablish-
inent. By no means, writes the agent of righteous
vengeance; if they had, the party would be deserving
of political annihilation. We will not, nor do we
intend, to accept the principle of the bill. The
rejection of the second clause, the very root of the
bill, Mr. Disraeli proposes to omit altogether.
RELIGIOUS SELFISHNESS.

Some of the Low Church party in London are

very angry because grants are made from the Bishop
of London's Fund to all parties. The Low Church-
men think that they alone ought to receive the
money. They forget that it is contributed to by
High Churchmen as well, and that if these got
nothing, they would give nothing. The loss of their
gifts would be all but fatal to the existence of the

fund, if we are to judge from the disgracefully small
collection made in behalf of the fund last Sunday at
a very well-known fashionable West-end church,
whereof one of the most popular preachers of the
Low Church party is incumbent.

ARCHBISHOP MANNING AND THE FENIAN PRISONERS.

On Tuesday a deputation from the English
Amnesty Committee waited on Archbishop Manning
to ask him to reconsider his decision not to allow
petitions on behalf of the Fenian prisoners to lie
for signature at the doors of the Catholic churches
and chapels throughout London. The Archbishop,
after hearing their arguments, said that his feelings
and sympathies were strongly in their favour. Ile
distinguished political offences from all other forms
of offence, and on the ground of profound sympathy
with Ireland no one would be ready to go farther on
behalf of those poor men than himself. He was only
limited in that by his duty and his conscience. He
promised to reconsider his decision, and to communi-
cate it to them in writing. If his reply should prove
adverse to their wishes, he begged they would under-
stand that it was not in the end to be gained
that they differed, but in the means which
ought to be used. In the course of his address
Dr. Manning said that when two years ago
he had been asked to permit the same thing on
behalf of two condemned prisoners he had told the
applicants that they would do more wisely to dis-
engage themselves from the Catholic Church, and
place themselves upon a much wider, because
national, sympathy. In the present case he had
expressed nis sentiments in his letter to Lord Grey
on..tue subject, and he . had spoken in the same
manner to the leading statesmen of the day.

EMIGRATION.

do Tuesday a remarkable scene took place at the
St. Pancras Station of the Midland Railway, when a
body of artisans and labourers took their departure
for Canada. This movement was in continuation
of -an experiment made last year, when
some artisans from the East-end were despatched to
America. In consequence of a favourable report
from Mr.Dixon,the emigration agent to the Canadian
Government, the committee appointed for the purpose
resolved to further the work this year. Great care
was taken in the selection of the emigrants, the can-
didates being greatly in excess of the means of the
committee. It was satisfactory to find that all the
travellers were delighted at the prospect before
them, and seemed full of confidence. As many
as 327 persons started on Tuesday for the New
World under the auspices of the committee. As
the train left the station, a ringing cheer burst forth
from the emigrants, which was returned from the
crowd on the platform. A second party is expected
to follow very speedily.

'Wednesday being the twelfth anniversary of the

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 he 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
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
t ►hey should enlist the people on their side. These
p judiees should not be violently thrust aside—indeed,
th y cannot be—but gradually overcome. Hence it would
be wise if the missionaries followed in the hack of trade
and c:vilisation. But if they decline to du this, they must—
not expect armed intervention.

THE 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 Without the
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 havebeen bound in a magnificent volume.

COMMENCEMEN7 OF TERM—This Day,

Easter Term commenced to-day, on which occasion her
Majesty's Judges breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor,
and afterwards proceeded in procession to their respective
courts at Westminster, &c.
On the arrival of the Judges at Westminster a large
number of persons assembled to witness the ceremony of
the Judges opening the respective courts. The applica-
tions made to their lordships to-day consisted of motions
of no great importance.

MADAME RACHEL AND HER BAIL.

(THIS DAY.)

To-day, the application to admit Madame Rachel to bail,
came before the Judge at Chambers. It will be recollected
that Mr Lewis, on the part of the prosecution, objected to
one of the parties tendered, Mr. West, optician, of Coventry_
street, and an adjournment was directed in order that
certain inquiries might be made.

His Lordship, after hearing the parties, refused to ac-
cept the bail tendered. Thu result of the present applica-
tion will doubtless prevent an, further steps being taken
to procure the release of Aldine. Rachel, who will thus
remain at Newgate until the result of the application for a
writ of error is known.
