PUNISIT ED FOR STOPPING A T 7? 4 IN.

Mr. Joseph Judge Hayes, of llertingtoramy, Wen
summoned at the Hertford County Sessions on Saturday
by the Great Northern Railway Company for unlawfully
signalling a train to stop without reasonable or sufficient
excuse for so doing. The proceedings were taken
under the Act requiring means of communication
to be provided between passengers and guards
and drivers of all railway trains travelling twenty
miles without stopping. On the 12th inst. the
defendant left King's-cross by the 2.45 express to Man-
chester and Liverpool, which does not stop till it reaches
Peterborough. lie should have got into a "slip" car-
riage placed in the rear of the train, which is dropped at
ITatfield, at which place he wanted to stop ; but instead of
doing so he got into a carriage labelled " Eradford," placed
nearly in the centre of the t rain. Just after passing Hat-
field Mr. I [ayes pulled the cord of communication which runs
outside the carriages, and the driver and guard, hearing
the gong on tho engine sound, looked round, a.nd saw him
making signs to the cflect that he wanted tai get out
at the station just passed. The guard signalled hack
that the train could not be stopped for such a purpose,
and the defendant by a gesture intimated that
be was tatisfied. Shortly after the train passed Hitchin
the gong sounded again, and on its being
brought nearly to a standstill the defendant got
out. Dir. Hayes, in defence, said he could not find a
' carrlcge on at king's-cross, and got into the
Bradford carriage under the impression made upon
his mind by looking at time-table that the train
stoppel at Ilitchin. The magistrates found that Mr. Hayes
bad used the means of comnmni-cation without reasonable
and sufficient cause. It ought never, the chairman said,
to be used except in grave and important circumstances,
such as murderous violence, sudden illness, a carriage
being found on fire, or other serious circumstances of a
similar kind. As, however, this w: s the first case of the
kind that had come before the bench, they would only
inflict a penalty of ss. and costs.

THE ALBERT ASSURANCE COMPANY.

A circular addressed to the shareholders, policy
nolders, and annuitants of the klbert Company, calls
attention to the eager rapidity with which the final
disaster was consummated. On the 12th a private
meeting of some of the shareholders was held. The
manager, Mr. A. R. Kirby, made a statement
respecting the finances of the company, and
pointed out the sacrifices to which the share and
policy holders must submit. On the day pre-
vious to that meeting a petition to wind up
the company had been actually presented and on
the next day—the lfith—after five minutes'
talk with the Vice-Chancellor's chief clerk, an order
was made to appoint Mr. A. R. Kirby himself and
Mr. S. L. Price provisional liquidators until the hear-
ing of the petition on the 10th of September. The
circular points out that these hurried proceedings
were taken during the vacation, when the judges
were all out of town, and no public discussion could
take place in the shareholders' interests. Tile result
has been that the company is virtually remitted to
the care of its former manager, and against this act
a strong protest was entered :
" We are advised that the selection of Mr. Kirby is
highly objectionable, inasmuch as his father or himself has
had the chief control of the affairs of your company since
its formation in the year 1838, the deed of settlement pro-
viding that in addition to a substantial salary, the former
should receive £5 per cent. on the premium income of the
company, out of which he should have amassed a colossal
fortune. Apart from every other consideration, we are of
opinion that the gentleman who has been, to some extent,
instrumental in placing your company in its present disas-
trous condition should not be the person specially selected
to manage your affairs at this momentous crisis."

An appeal is therefore made to the shareholders and
others to co-operate in the appointment of an inde-
pendent liquidator.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

The Americans have a not unpromising novelty in
railway management under consideration. The Erie
Company promise to illuminate their line, at night
by the electric spark, at the ferries over rivers, in
the tunnels, on all dangerous curves, and on every
engine. Several important improvements have been
made, amongst which is an invention by which the
turning of the wheels of the engine shall collect
electricity for use in illumination. Even with the
diminution of light caused by the jarring of the
locomotive, it is calculated that the lights will show
the track to the engineer on a straight line for three
miles.

MINING ACCIDENTS.

The terrible colliery
,explosion in Saxony has
caused, as well it might, a profound sensation in the
German States. Such a disaster is comparatively a
new thing in the Vaterl:ind. The German papers
accordingly suggest proportionately drastic remedies.
The National Gazette, of Berlin, contends that the
owners of mines ought to be responsible for all acci-
dents which are not traceable to the victim's own
carelessness. They must support the miners who
are disabled, and the families of those who
are- killed by accident. The owners must be
protected 'against sudden and unavoidable loss by a
mutual assurance society, for which the statistical
basis already exists. In 1861, 167 miners were
killed in Prussian collieries, and 235,189,906 cwts. of
coals raised; a tax of one pfenning the cwt. for
insurance Would have made up a SUM of 553,000
eiders, or 3,000 thalers (about 585) for each

TIFE RECONSTRUCTION OF Tim IRISII CIIMICH.

Step by step thework of rescuing the Irish Church
from chaos proceeds. Tho letter of the two Arch-
bishops seems to settle the question as to the repre-
seutation of the laity in the future governing body
of the Church. Their right to have an equal voicewith
the clergy in determining the future regulations of the
Church has been recognised, and the Archbishops have
suggested that they ought to settle among themselves
the form of representation which they des:re to have
in the National Synod. But the question which
next presented itself was, how shall the laity be set
in motion to decide their mode of representation
Who shall convene them ? The Bishop of Down has
found a solution to this latter difficulty by calling a
preliminary conference of the clergy and whicir
was held last week at Belfast.

The experiment proved very 91leCCFSrld. A large
number of laymen. itn-luding several M.P.'s and the
magistrates at:cnded, :Aid all political colours Wi re
blended for the time in peaceful Larmony. The ashop,
who Frcsied, thought that numerical strength should
decide the representation in the Dioceasan Synods.
Taking the divisions of his own distrit t
Ls an example, he luoposed that one out
of every five clergymen should be elected,
to whom he would add a few officials—namely, the
deans and arehde.icons of the three dioceses and the
Vicar-General— seven altogcter. This mode of
selection would give Down 12 clerical delegates,
Connor, 21 ; Dromore, S ; making, with the seven
"extras," 48in all. Then as to lay representation :—ln
Down there are 28,865' men:hers of the Established
Church ; in Connor, 80,125 ; and in Dromore, 4.4,174.
lie prop:-. sed that thy should elect one delegate for
each 44;00 members. (hi that priueiple Down would
have S delegates, Connor 20, and D-ronmore 12,
making altogether 40 lay delegatt,s. To this he
Would add the Parliamentary members for the
counties of Down and Antrim, and the b -,roughs of
I.isliurn, and Do titpatrick, and the Mayor
of Ilel:ast. lie oCo 1 1 ex.--ln.le on, of t!le resi.ootel

number of lay represelitat;y,s woula thus lie inereJsea
to .19. jufit one above the eli•r:e:11 re; %r, a,utativta.
Finally, I.or,'s-Lieutenant of the eonniy
A. long disemsion fell wcd the silt:ng fort.i u. ;Ws
plan, and eventually three resolutions were i.ssed.
One stipula'ed that it I):ocusm i.7!ynol of the clergy
and laity of 1 'own, Connor. antl 1 ronr)re be formed,
for the purpose of com,iilering the questii as Con-
nected with the interests of the Church. The seeon
propos:Al that tlw synod should be formed of equ:d
numbers of clergy and laity, the latter to be commu-
nicants of at lent,t one year's standing... The third
provided for meetings in individual parishes for the
purpose of electing representatives. The Diocesan
Synod will meet for the first time on the 7th of
September. Thus one great step has been made
towards the formation of a governing body. Wizen
the diocesan synods are complete, the National, or
General, Synod will, it is hoped, soon follow.

EPAIN.

The Spanish Government having heard the report- that
the Regent is favourable to the candidature of the Duke
of Montpensier, and that he will propose him to the Cortes,
Alenics the truth of it in the most formal manner. The
Regent is in favour of no candidature, and desires to take
no initiative in the matter, either officially or privately.
Tie leaves the question entirely to the decision of the
-Cortes, which has the exclusive right to decide.
The French authoritieshave arrested and imprisoned seve-
ral Carlist chiefs who were found on the frontiers, and str:ct,
surveillance is being kept up to discover any others who
are in the vicinity. The remainder of the faction of
the chief Polo have submitted to the authorities at
,'Almagro. A Carlist band at Valencia has been routed by
the volunteers at Uriel, and another band is been pursued
in the direction of Benasal. Some of the Culla followers
have been made prisoners, and others have surrendered.

PRUSSIA.

The Proviacial Correspondence, the Ministerial paper
of Berlin, has just published an az ticle on the pacific state
Hof Europe. This has been copied by the official press of
'Prussia, and has produced a great sensation in Cet many.
It declares that the great Powers are interested in the
maintenance of peace, and that even Austria
must admit the imperious necessity of avoiding war.
M. Bismarck's organ does not nse very complimentary
language towards the Cabinet of Vienna, but it is much
more respectful than the other Berlin journals have been.
It is supposed that the conciliatory nature of M. Beust's
reply to M. Thilc has already produced a favourable
impression. According to the Provincial Correspondence
the policy of Prussia has been irreproachable on all points
of international importance.

LOST LOYALTY.

Her Majesty has evidently Jost the loyalty of
many worthy snb;ects because she did not frustrate
the Ministry by declining to sign the Irish Church
Bill. No more will " The Queen " appear at the
head of all truly Protestant toast-lists. Genuine
Protestants cannot pray for a sovereign who has
allied herself with Antichrist. Ono faithful and
indignant servant of the 'Church always puts
the Queen's head upside down whenever he has
occasion to use a postage-stamp. One ought to be
truly thankful that this gentleman so far honours
the Queen as to use .pliztage stamps at all. Certain
clergymen have .applied to the Bishop of Meath
asking for instructions in face of strong representa-
tionsfrom their congregations demanding that the
prayers for the Queen be discontinued. It seem,
then, that a new religious doctrine is gaining ground.
St. Paul's exhortations Gn the subject of charity-are
in future not to apply to obnoxious Acts of Parlia-
ment. We may look for the speedy introduction of
the bell, book, and candle.

GENERAL THOMAS'S REPORT ON ALASKA.

General Thomas has made a thorough inspection of
Alaska, and forwarded his report to the War Department.
His opinion is very different from that of Mr. Seward with
respect to the purchase. He only values the new
territory because he believes that it will loosen the hold
which England has on British Columbia. There is no pro-
bability of any emigration in that direction, and it has no
value whatever as an agricultural region. The superabund-
ance of rain and the great lack of sun preclude the idea of
any profitable cultivation of the soil. Grain cannot be
grown, and stock-raising cannot be carried on.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par. and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 l'is.load. per ounce for standard gold. it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in
London.
