MONSTER CRIMINALS.

A young girl, named Ronchart, has been accused of mur-
dering both her sisters by means of arsenic. It ap-
pears that she is further suspected of having killed her
father in the same way. The body of M. Rent:hart has been
exhumed and sent for examination to MM. Kupper, Schla-
ger, and Franck. A custom-house officer who was inti-

mate with the girl, was arrested for assisting in this
series of crimes, but it turned out that it was
the girl who accused him, and that she did so
for the purpose or being able to see him. The
parties are natives of Trognee, in Belgium. A man
named Bract, a native of Bruges, has been brutally murdered
by three Italians, named Bovo, aged 32; Lapitina, 19; and
Lapiti, 19. There were circumstances of a most revoltine
character connected with the murder.

HUSH BENEFICES.

Mr. Petrie writes to the Standard respecting the
199 Irish benefices, which, according to the census
returns of 1861, have a Church population of less
than forty. The writer states that he has made strict
inquiry, and finds that either the census returns must
be untrustworthy, or the Irish branch of the United
Church has made great progress. He gives the names
of all the benefices in question, with the Churchpopu,
lation according to the census, and according to his
own inquiries on the Ist of January last. The
second column shews a very decided augmentation of
the numbers, the great change being in Dallymas-
coulon which has in the ermsuß n 11137 "" the
1 return 225. Tho Church population of the
greater portion, however, is still far below 100, in
some instances numbering less than 20. The figures
do not include the Protestant Dissenters, who, for

THE REV. JAMES KELLY AGAIN.
The notorious Mr. Kelly, of St. George's, Liver-
pool, has come forward again, and in a long letter
falls foul of Mr. Gladstone, because, being the patron
of a small living in Liverpool, worth only £lOO a
year, he will not transfer his patronage to the
Crown, and thereby make it £3CO. I-Ie then goes
on to denounce Mr. Gladstone as " a second Pilate!'
consigning Christ to the tender mercies of the
wicked Jews—the Irish Church taking the place of
the victim, and the Rationalists, Romanists, and
Radicals of the persecutors.

A TALE TOIL TIIE MARINES.
A correspondent of the Rock, says that twefity
years ago a lady he knows was residing in Austria,
in a house belonging to some nuns. She paid the
rent regularly to a Jesuit priest, who, supposing her
to be a Roman Catholic, dilated on the great work
that was going on at Oxford, and said that some of
the Jesuits had got into the university, and
that the leading man there was a Jesuit. The
lady asked his name, and was told it was Pusey,
and that her informant and the doctor were
educated together at the same college in Rome.

went to max/4.,_as..hitiutd—neng_9lvencilltk She

THE PRESTON COTTON TRADE.

Another disastrous strike seems imminent. The
masers of Preston have determined to reduce the
w:lges of their workmen; the operatives will not
1. born- for less than they are at present getting.
There was a great meetiffg of operatic held at
Preston on Monday night, and the utmost determi-
nation was manifested to resist the proposed reduc-
tion in wages. A strike was not exactly resolved
upon, but only because it is judged wise to allow the
masters (as a local journal puts it) a place, for repen-
tance. That they will repent does not seem to be
believed, and it is improbable under present circum-
stances that the men will give in.
THE CONSERVATIVES OF STALYBRIDGE.
On Saturday a large political gathering took place
at Stalybridge to celebrate the return of~Mr. Mr. James
Sidebottom to Parliament as the first representative
of the borough. Mr. R. Bates presided, and
declared that they were met to do honour to
-S double victory in the return of Mr. Side-
bottom, and in his triumph over a vexatious
petition. Mr. Sidebottom, M.P., returned his
cordial thanks to the meeting, and rejoiced at the
success which the Conservative cause had met with
in that borough. He did not touch upon the leading
questions of politics, but declared that he should
never consider party interests where the good of the
country was concerned. As a proof of this he
referred to the recent vote he had given against what
would be called his own party.

period fur examination.
HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE.

Viscount BURY asked whether the Secretary for the
Home Department had taken any steps with a view of as-
certaining the condition of Hammersmith Bridge.
Mr. BRUCE said he had had an examination as to the
condition of the bridge, and the report he had received
was to the effect that although the bridge in the first
instance was not a very strong erection, yet it appeared to
be as strong as it ever had been, and therefore he had not
thought it proper to prohibit its use on the occasion of the
great boat race to-morrow. Notices would be affixed and
police constables posted to confine the pedestrians entirely
to the, footway, and thus the'icarriage way would be left
open for vehicles. There doubtless would be a very large
attendance of the public, but he believed that, with the re-
gulations that were to be carried out, the bridge would be
quite able to bear all those who might go upon it to-
morrow.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE UNITED STATES.

General Grant's silence on foreign affairs is very gene.
rally interpreted unfavourably to the chances of the
Alabama treaty. Ills inaugural address contained no
allusion to difficulties with England, and the attempts to
obtain any semi-official declaration of his policy on this
question have, as usual, resulted in contradictory state.
ments. The correspondent of the Telegraph has had
"precise information" that the President is opposed to
the Clarendon-Johnson Convention. The universal
opinion, according to this writer, is that the treaty will
not be ratified, and in all probability will be passed
over without a vote. The hostility of the
Tribune to some extent supports this belief, for
though this journal adopts a blustering, insolent style, in
no way characteristic of Grant, yet it is thought to most
nearly represent the views of the President. On the
other hand, the New York Times, which has throughout
adopted a very moderate tone, says that General Grant's
policy of peace applies to all relations of the Government.
He is not satisfied with this Convention, but it is not
to be supposed that two Liberal Administrations are
incapable of arriving at a satisfactory settlement.

TIIE SPANISH TURONE.

An important telegram -is sent from Lisbon, where
the Duke of Montpeusier resides, to the Paris
journals. On indisputable authority it is declared that the
Duke of Montpensier will not accept the Crown of Spain
unless chosen by a respectable majority. "He desires
that his elect:on may not serve as a pretext for civil war,
but rather that it may ivagurate an era of prosperity and
peace." If the Duke be elected at all, in all probability
the majority will be very" respectable" indeed, for the
Monarchists form three-fourths of the Assembly. This
declaration, therefore, is chiefly noticeable as being
formal and open announcement of the Duke's pretensions
to the throne. He still remains without a competitor.

THE IRISH CHURCH.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr Mzia.ou, sail he did
not think it was a fact that Archbishop Bramhall was in:
strumental in purchasing tithes from lay impropriators in
Ireland amounting to £30,000, neither did he think that
there whs positive Froof that the purchase money was
raised by public subscription ; by the clauses of the bill
the tithes would not be retained.

THE TRADES UNION COMMISSION.

We have very unwelcome news on the Trades
Union Commission. Instead of a unanimous report,
on which legislation could be taken without doubt,
we are told—and who expected other—of divisions
and subdivisions. Those who had hoped that Mr.
Roebuck and Mr. Harrison would be found to agree
on such a subject must certainly have been very
sanguine indeed. The Manchester Guardian- says
that one report, signed by seven- members, recom-
mends various changes in the combination laws, and
suggests recourse to arbitration. A sacond report,
to which the names of Lord Lichfield, Mr. T. Hughes,
and Mr. F. Harrison are attached, proposes the repeal
of the combination laws; while a third report, signed
only by Mr. Hughes and Mr—Harrison goes still
further. "At present, however, we arc unable to state
the details of the changes—' sweeping changes,' as a
correspondent describes them—which the member
for Frome and Mr. Harrison desire to see established
in the relations between labour and capital."

THE BALLOT.

Mr. LEATHAM then rose to call the attention of the
house to the expediency of taking votes by ballot at Par-
liamentary elections. He said the necessity for the ballot
was now more apparent than ever, and Le thought that
no set of gentlemen would sit on the Government
benches for the next twelvemonths that did not adopt
the ballot as a Government question. The ballot was
neither an experiment nor innovation, and it had been
adopted by all free nations, the exception being that it was
still objected to by Russia, Turkey, and England, and
the, titne had now come that it became actually urgent
that the ballot should be adopted in this country. He
should be met, doubtlesQ, with the objection that the
ballot was un-English, but he had turned up a caso in
which in times gone by a member had been returned by
the ballot. The right hon. gentleman then reid the ex-
tract in question, and contended that he could not under-
stand t .e great objection that was made to the ballot.
That corruption existed was unfortunately too true, and
they were continually trying, up stairs, to washtheir hands
clean,' yet that they never succeeded in doing, and never
would as long as they set their faces against the
adoption of the ballot. In one of the committees that had
sat, one of the witnesses, a most important one, said that
in places where the ballot was ad,,pted elections had be-
come as quiet as funerals. (Laughter.) The bon. gentle-
man concluded by moving, "That it be an instruction
to the select committee appointed to inquire into the pre-
sent mode of conducting elections, to take into considera-

tion the various methods of taking votes by ballot, which
are at present in use in portions of the British empire, and
in other countries, togetl.•er with any modification thereof
which might be suggested, and to report upon the most
efficient and convenient system of balloting."
After criticisms from Sir H. Bulwer, Mr. Scourfield, Mr.
C. Weguelin, Lord F. Cavendish, Mr. Chadwick, Sir F.
Cressley, and Mr. Gladstone, the motion was withdrawn.
Leave was given to Mr. GOSCHEN to introduce a bill to
amend the Metropolitan Poor Act, 1867.
On the motion of Mr. Secretary BRUCE, the Committee
on Parliamentary and Municipal Elections was nominated.
The Party Processions Bill, which stood for second read-
ing, was briefly discussed, and adjourned until Wednes-
day (to-day), on division, by 113 to 70 votes.
The house then adjourned.

INGRATITIME.—Ann Conner, a respectable-looking
woman, was charged with stealing 25., the monies of Mr.
S. S. Danwiks, cowkeeper, Fulham-road.
This morning the prisoner went into the shop of the
prosecutor, and, in the absence of the shopwoman, stole a
2s. piece. She was followed, and admitted the theft, giving
the money up. The prosecutor, it appeared had been at
different times very kind to the prisoner, giving her pecu-
niary relief.
Mr. Mansfield, after reprimanding the prisoner for
her ungrateful conduct, sentenced her to one month's
hard labour.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
TI'S ALL OWING TO TUE BOAT RACE .—Anne Stan-
more, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt
with annoying gentlemen in Lower Regent-street.
Windobank, a plain clothes officer of the C division,
said that about one o'clock in the morning he saw the
prisoner annoying gentlemen. She was dressed in light
blue, and was shouting at the top of her voice, "Cam
bridge forever," and was far from being sober.
Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great
Marlborough-street, who appeared for the prisoner, said
that he wa3 instructed that she was a Cambridge woman,
and her enthusiasm on behalf of her county had led her
into the difficulty she was in.
Mr. Tyrwiitt fined her 20s.
The prisoner said it was all owing to the boat race.

Ur. GLA DSTONE, in reply to Mr MELLoR, said he did
not think it was a fact that Archbishop Brawhall was in=

Irelaud amounting to 230,000, neither did he think that
there was positive proof that the purchase money was
raised by public subscription ; by the clauses of the bill
the tithes would not be retained.

THE SPANISH THRONE.

An important telegram is sent from Lisbon, where
the Duke of Montpcusier resides, to the Paris
journals. On indisputable authority it is declared that the
Duke of Montpensier will not accept the Crown of Spain
unless chosen by a respectable majority. "He desires
that his election may not serve as a pretext for civil war,
but rather that it may inagurate an era of prosperity and
peace." If the Duke be elected at all, in all probability
the majority will be very" respectable" indeed, for the
Monarchists form three-fourths of the Assembly. This
declaration, therefore, is chiefly noticeable as being A
formal and open announcement of the Duke's pretensions
to the throne. He still remains without a competitor. _

THIS DAY.

The brutal and barbarous recreations of bygone
days with their demoralising intluences have passed
away, and, with the march of civilisation, have been
succeeded by those of a more healthful and innocent
character. In the rapid progress of manly and
athletic sports which has taken place during the
last few years, none may claim to greater advance-
ment than rowing. B9ating has of late years so
considerably enlarged its limits that it is really
difficult to say where it will end, a circumstance
readily accounted for by the maritime supremacy
of our country. As it has in war " held the mastery
over the flood," BJ has its sons in puce cultivated
the sports in which its noble rivers have invited
them to indulge, until there is hardly a canal or
basin but can boast of its rowing club, while the
increasing popularity of aquatic sports powerfully
conduces to foster them. Time was when they
were few in number ; time is when by their yearly
multiplication the sedentary and the laborious, the
rich and poor alike seek refreshment of mind and
body in this vigorous and healthful pastime.

We are led to these remarks as an introduction
to the Oxford and Cambridge boat race, its early
rise and rapid advancement in popular apprecia-
tion. So celebrated, and at the same time so
eminently aristocratic, this race has attained a
popularity and importance commensurable with the
condition of the competitors ; it ushers in the sea-
son with its powerful attraction, and exercises a
marked influence over the forthcoming aquatic
year. The interest and anxiety which it occasions
is shared in common by all classes, who anticipate
its approach with pride and admiration, and up to
the hour of deciding the hopes and fears that have
so long prevailed it increases in intensity. The
prestige belonging to it is only equalled by that of
a Derby ; and it not only basks in the sunshine of
popular favour, but has twice within the last five
years been honoured by the presence of Royalty.
Up to 1860 there were three races in favour of
Cambridge, and then came a sad reverse,
"Sic transit gloria mundi ;"
from that time to the present they have yearly been
worsted ; change in trainers, change somewhat in
style, and change of boats have produced no change
in their fortunes ; they have been annually de-
feated, and yet with indomitable courage have they
annually made another effort to retrieve their lost
laurels. They have again and again nearly gained
the palm, but the cup has been dashed from their
lips at the very moment they had anticipated a
taste of its sweetness ; and last year was the sorest
discomfiture of their manifold reverses. 'They were
beaten easily, and though so vanquished came for-
ward again, and undismayed threw down the
gauntlet, which, we need hardly say, was rapidly
accepted, and the following crews represented the
respective Universities :

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an • entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth 'hat aro loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

To expatiate upon the exertions of the president,
in the task of selecting the above, or to follow them
through the maizes of training would be to occupy
space too precious to this season to be bestowed un-
necessarily, and to inflict upon the reader details in
which he would take but little interest. Fashion in
everything bears sovereign sway, and it has been
the fashion of late years to back Oxford to win, at
odds, even before their crew had been determined
on, and this fashion was not departed from in the
present instance. With the advance of training
speculation gradually became more important and
significant. Investments on the race were, as usual,
very considerable. The Oxonians were the favou-
rites, the price varying from 6 to 4 up to 2 to 1,
according to the confidence of the backers.
Since the afternoon of the 4th inst., both crews
have been at Putney, and have been daily visited
by old University friends, and the public in general
who like the crews have experienced very change-
able weather; four days ago, too, a change oc-
curred in the Cambridge boat, but for the better.
Mr. J. Still, late president, took the place of Mr.
Mellor, who fell sick and went home. The time at
length arrives; the Thames Conservancy and police
have made such arrangements as are calculated
to tend to the general comfort and convenience to
the public. Although the price of a steamboat for
the occasion was monstrously high, yet there were
about the usual number, and tugs innumerable
filled with company, besides the usual legion of
small row boats.

The start is fixed for half-past 3, but it is very
doubtful whether tho crew will actually get orf be-
fore 4. A strong force of police is posted at Ham-
mersmith, and no persons or carriages are allowed
to stop on the roadway of the Suspension Bridge.
The attendance of the public on the banks of the
river, the different bridges, and other well-known
points of view are as great as on any former occa-
sion.

The morning was threatening, and rain fell about
noon ; but as the time for the race wore on it
brightened up, and a vast assemblage was at Put-
ney and every spot where a view could be ob-
tained.

There were 11 steamboats and 12 tugs present.
Mr. J. W. Chitty, of Exeter College, was the
umpire ; Mr. Edward Searle, starter and John
Phelps, waterman, judge at Mortlake.
The Oxford crew won the toss and chose the
Middlesex station, and both crews were heartily
cheered by all, including Prince Arthur, who was
present, and Prince Hassan of Egypt.
