THE NORWICH ELECTION PETITION.

The inquiry into this petition was resumed before Mr.
Baron Martin on Saturday. The last hour or two of
the proceedings on Friday were occupied with an episode
relating to the changing of a cheque for £2OO into 400
half-sovereigns, the alleged bribing of certain persons at
the Woolpack Inn, and the mysterious absence of Hardi-
ment, one of the alleged bribers. The cheque affair called
up as a witness Mr. Webster, landlord of the Maid's Head
Hotel. It appears that at two o'clock in the afternoon
of the polling-day Mr. Webster went to the bank of Messrs.
Harveys and nucleons, Norwich, and drew a cheque against
his own account for £2OO, receiving the amount iu 400 half-
sovereigns. This result, he states, was accidental ; but a
cashier at the bank expressly stated that Mr. Webster asked
to have the whole amount in half sovereigns, and that ho
went and got them for him, not having a sufficient number
of half sovereigns in his till. As to the absence of Hardi-
ment, the following evidence was given by his wife :—" I
saw my husband about three weeks since. I don't know
where he is gone. I did not ask him where he was going

I let him do as he likes. Ile was in Paris when I last heard
of him. Ho is a fellmonger by trade, and is often out. I
cannot say when he is coming back, and I don't know
where to write to him. I believe ho is staying with a
friend at Paris. lam not anxious about him. On my
oath, Ido not believe that my husband is away to avoid
this inquiry. I have heard something about his bribery.
I have not written to him. I cannot write. We have a
manager named Thirkettle, and ho can w, ite."
Thir-
kettle was called, and gave much the same sort
of evidence. As to the bribery at the Wool-
pack, the evidence—if it was to bs believed was
a miserable exhibition of ignorance and venality. Rliher
higher bribes were said to have been given at the Wool-
pack than at the Trumpet, but LI appolrs to have been the
maximum bribe in any case.

On the resumption on Saturday Mr. Baron Martin ex-
pressed his opinion that the agency of Hardin:lent, one of
the missing men, had been proved. Mr. lied well argued
that there was not ono word said in the petition about
bribery by agents. Bribery, troaing, and illegal prac ices
were charged against Sir Henry Stracey tither by himself or
other persons on his behalf. The learned counsel contended
that it must be proved that the act complained of was com-
mitted with the knowledge and consent of the principal.
There was a distinction between acts of an agent and the
acts of a person who did anything on behalf of another. Mr.
Baron Martin considered that the term " other persons
on his behalf" meant every person for whom Sir Henry
Stracey was responsible. Any person authorized to canvass
for Sir Henry Stracey must be regarded as s prson for
whose acts Sir Henry Stracey was responsible. From the
moment that the act of bribery by or on behalf of Sir
Henry Stracey was committed, Sir Henry Stracey's status as

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 18.
At a Chapter of the Knights of the Order of the
Black Eagle, his Royal Highness the Prince of
Wales received the chain of the Order, -which had
formerly been worn by the Prince Consort.

A general full-dress parade of the whole of
the officers and men of the Royal Engineers, at
head-quarters, Chatham, was held at Brompton
Barracks, on Saturday, to witness the presenta-
tion of a silver medal, which, with the annuity
of £lO, had been awarded by the Field-Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief to Sergeant-Major Kester
Knight, for long service and exemplary conduct.
The troops having been formed in square, Ser-
geant-Major Knight was called to the front and
presented with the medal by Col. T. L. J. Gallway
director of the Royal Engineer establishment, who,
in an appropriate address, congratulated him on re-
ceiving another well-earned decoration. Sergt-Major
Knight lauded with the allied forces in the Crimea,
and served throughout the campaign till the fall of
Sebastopol, receiving, in addition to the Crimean
medal, the French and Turkish war medals. In 1858 he
landed in China, and was present at the actions at
Sinho, Tangkoo, the attack and capture of the
Taku fort.F, and the capture of Pekin, receiving the
medal for China, with clasps for Teku and Pekin.
Sergeant-Major Knight has also been presented
with the silver medal and gratuity of £l5 for long
service and good conduct. Having completed his
full period of service he is now about to be dis-
charged on the usual pension, after being 20 years
a non-commissioned officer.

The arrival, " all well" at Alexandria, on the
morning of the 15th instant, of her Majesty's
Indian troopship Serapis, has been reported by
telegram.

Ulerk to the Uouneu, and (we mean no pun) autaor
of "Friends in Council."

The second step to which we have referred is the
letter from Mr. Mackonochie, in which he points out
that the recent judgment involves breaking off from
Catholic tradition, which he considers to be the only
foundation for the Reformation, and urges Church-
men to insist first upon a reform of the Court of
Appeal, and then to agitate for the dissolution of the
union between Church and State. This union he
considers an anachronism, inasmuch as the Church
and State are no longer coextensive, and injurious to
both parties. There is no doubt that this letter will
give rise to a great deal of discussion.

THE WILLENITAM POLICE CASE.

Mr. Hudson, of 'Wolverhampton, writes to the
7'inrcs on a case which has already attrteted some
attention—that of the little lads who were com-
mitted for a week's imprisonment in Stafford Gaol
for " tossing " and obstructing the thoroughfare.
They were " fined " 6d. each, and ordered to pay the
costs, or suffer the term of imprisonment. These costs
amounted to 775., or lls. each. The parents could have
paid the fines, but the costs were far beyond their means,
and the unfortunate youths would have been dragged
to prison had it not been for the interference of some
gentlemen. Four :out of the seven lads were but
thirteen years of age, and their homes were so poor
that the penalties might as well have been pounds as
shillings, since in every case it was impossible for
the inmates to pay them.
The Rev. Mr. Fisher has written to the Birmingham
Post explain some particulars of this affair. He
states that the facts of the case were not exactly
reported. Some of the boys had been convicted
before, and none were under fourteen years of age.
He adds _that well-grounded complaints have been
made for some time past upon the obstruction of the
footpaths by idle youths, and that the lads in ques-
tion were charged with a similar offence, added to
which their language to passers-by was insulting
and disgusting. Under these circumstances, the
magistrates imposed a small fine with the security
for payment provided by the statute.

THE CHIVALRY OF THE " YOUNG MAN OF THE
PERIOD."

We live in a matter-of-fact age, and look upon
Chivalry as in most part a splendid dream; but we
still hold in theory the creed, as to the protection of
the weaker sex, which in later romances, if not in
reality, marks the knightly character. But the
practice in many respects differs from the creed. The
Daily i'Vezes very forcibly complains that in the
metropolis it is a thing quite impossible for a
pretty girl to take a walk alone. Is it that
the teaching of some of the theatres and certain
"fast " periodicals is bearing fruit in this way ; or
what is it that has created this evil ? For it un-
doubtedly exists, and men who call themselves
" gentlemen" do not think it beneath them to demon-
stratively stare at, follow, and accost a girl who dares
to walk alone in the public parks. There is, perhaps,
something to be said for the fact that very few
respectable young ladies do walk alone. But to what
a state matters must have come to have brought
about this consummation !

THE NEW CANON.

Mr. Gladstone is to be congratulated upon his first
important ecclesiastical appointment. Mr. Mozley,
who is to be the new Canon of Worcester, is one of
the ablest writers in the Church. He was educated
at Oriel College, Oxford, took his B.A. degree in
183,1, was appointed by Magdalen College Vicar of
Old Shoreham, wrote in 1855 a " Treatise on the
Augustinian Doctrine of Predestination," and
in 1856 on " The Primitive Doctrine of
Baptismal Regeneration ;" but he is best
known by his Bampton Lectures. One of
the most hopeful signs of the times is the contrast
Which there is between the Church dignitaries now
dying out and those who take their places. Between the
epoch of the late Dean Howard, of Lichfield,and that
of the present Dean Champneys, between the epoch of
the late Canon Fortescue and that of the new Canon
Mozley, there is all the difference between a Church
whose preferments were given to the scions of great
Whig families and a Church whose preferments are
given to learned theologians. In the one case,
Church preferment was bestowed to secure political
support ; in the other, it is bestowed to reward eccle-
siastical research.

NEWS FROM AMERICA.

" Shakspere wrote good plays," poor Artemus
Ward used to say, " but he would never have
succeded as a Washington correspondent of a New
York daily paper. lle lacked the requisite imagina-
tion and fancy." And. certainly our friends across
the great lake do fall upon some most extraordinary
canards. A story went the round of the press the other
day which made many of Mr. Charles Dickens's admirers
murmur a little. ylt was to the effect that his
brother's wife had just died in Chicago in great want
and privation. This, so soon after the announcement
of Mr. Dickens's arrangements as to his readings,
and, considering the character of such readings, rather
outraged our idea of propriety. Mr. Dickens, how-
ever, writes to say that the whole thing is a hoax ;
his sister-in-law is still living, and is a frequent guest
at his house.

SCHOOLS FOR THE MIDDLE CLASSES.

The Low Church party in the Church of England
have desired to establish schools and colleges in
various places for the purpose of promoting the
education of the children of the middle classes. A
committee was appointed last May, and it decided
that an association should be formed in London, and
a paper has been circulated to ascertain if the plan
would be supported. Offers have been made that
exceed £l,OOO. A meeting was held on the 13th
January, which was well attended. Letters of
approval were read from the Archbishops of Can-
terbury and York and others. An association has
been formed and a committee appointed to carry out
the original scheme of promoting the establishment
of middle-class schools in connection with the Church
of England.

THE ENCROACHMENTS OP THE SEA.

Byron, in one of the most magnificent of Ins
poems, recounts how man's control stops with the sea-
shore—and apostrophising the." dark blue ocean," he
invites it to " Roll on." But for the people of Hythe
and Folkestone, the sea has been rolling on at rather
too tremendous a pace, and they have begun to cry
" Hold." Indeed, Father Neptune lzas not been
content with his own dominion, and -those who
live near the land he has acquired by
force of conquest have held a meeting to
protest against his tyrannical proceedings.
True, while he is taking away between Sandgate and
Hy the, he is giving some land to those who live at
Romney. But what he is taking away is good land,
and what he gives is low-lying sandbank and shoals,
to which we might almost say he is welcome. But,
at any rate, the people of Ilythe have determined
that they will stand him no longer, and that they
"will take measures to resist his encroachments.
Seeing that he has been carrying away large masses
of rocks, which slide off as " a ship launched on
tallow planks," the people who live in Kent will have
their work to do.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

It is generally believed that the news of the overthrow
If Lopez is substantially true. It comes, indeed, from Rio
Yaneiro, and Brazil has been so much in the habit of
recording great victories just as the mail was steaming out
for Europe that a liberal discount is always needful. But
there is one great reason why this last intelligence should
be correct. It had become absolutely necessary that
Brazil should finish the war, or the war would finish

Brazil. The burden had become intolerable, and the Allies
were utterly weary of the contest. It is likely, therefore,
that Caxias has struck a great blow, and has succeeded.

THE RED RIVER SETTLEMENT.

Later advices from the Red River do not report any
improvement. 'Up to the end of November the weather
bad been favourable, and the roads, upon which the pre-
servation of the colonists depends, had been pretty good.
Unless they could be kept open throughout the winter, so
that relief from without should not fail, the entire settle-
ment would be in danger of starvation. Even with the
aid of good roads the distress was deplorable. 433 families,
representing 2,342 persons, required assistance at the end
of November, and were likely to require it tbroughout the
winter. Many have eaten their horses, and one family
killed and ate a domestic cat.

GIBRALTAR OR CEUTA.

Those who advocate the exchange of Gibraltar for
Ceuta have some serious questions put to them by
Rear-Admiral Ommaney, in a letter to the Times.
Starting with the premise that it would be impolitic to
give up Gibraltar without some equivalent, he points
out that at great expense we raised Gibraltar from a
mere rock to a fortress; and he asks shall we give it up
for a fort whose fortifications are behind the age ?
Or should we give up at all such a strong fortress as
Gibraltar, which might be used against us in
case of war ? As to Spain fortifying Ceuta, the
whole revenue of a year would be required to do it.
Is it likely that they would expend it ? " Moreover,"
exclaims the Admiral, " what a base of operations
woad Gibraltar be for civil war in the hands of the
factious Spaniard." The Admiral puts down the argu-
ment as to justice as " weak " and " sentimental,"
and concludes by asking whether France will let us
take Ceuta. The objection to giving up Gibraltar
on the ground that the "factious Spaniard" might
use it in case of civil war implies that this strong-
hold is like a knife to a young child.

ORDNANCE. SURVEY OF SINAI.

Captains Wilson and Palmer have forwarded further
communications respecting the progress of the Ord-
nance Survey of Sinai. Captain Wilson reports that the
observations of the survey are completed, and the
computation will be finished by the 12th of December.
He expects shortly to send a diagram of the points
and traverses. He adds that the " poling " and
observing have been very hard work, and he and
Captain Palmer have had much to undergo in making
their observations. Roughly speaking, he should say
that the special survey will be completed by
the end of April. He hopes that the money
in the fund will soon reach the estimate, which
will not be too large for the work to be done.
Captain Palmer's letter was written for the purpose
of filling up gaps, and he declares that during the
survey their habits have been more like those of goats
and ibexes than anything else. The observing
for triangulation was finished when he wrote.
He trusts that Serbal will not prove so serious an
undertaking as Jebel Musa, but at any rate they will
go to their work with the experience they have gained,
and in good training for the mountains.

THE RITUAL QUESTION.

Two fresh steps have been taken in the contro-
versy which is now distracting the Church, and is
likely before long to vex the State. An Order in
Council was made on Thursday by the Queen at
'Windsor—the Lord Chancellor (Lord Ilatherley),
the Lord President (Earl de Grey), the Lord
Chamberlain (Lord Sydney), and -Mr. Goschen
being present—by which order the Queen expresses
her approval of the late judgment. The document,
after setting forth at length, and in technical
language, the circumstances of the suit
of Martin v. Mackonochie, thus concludes :
" Her Majesty, having taken the said re-
port into consideration, was pleased, by and with
the adviceof her Privy Council, to approve thereof and
of what is therein recommended, and to order, as it
is hereby ordered, that the same be duly and punc-
tually observed, complied with, and carried into
execution. Whereof all persons whom it may con-
cern are to take notice and govern themselves 'accord-

REMARKS.

Yesterday morning there had been a slight decrease of pressure on
our north-eastern coast, whilst on our other coasts the increase re-
ported on Saturday afternoon had continued. This morning a still
further increase has been general, especially in the east ; but since
last evening a fresh slight decrease is perceptible at some of our
western stations. Readings are now high, and rather uniform—the
lowest (at Greencastle) being only o'23in. below that at Portsmouth.
Temperature yesterday had risen in S.E. England and the west of
France, decreased elsewhere : this morning a decrease is shewn in
these districts, but a fresh rise has set in on our west coasts. Mode-
rate to fresh south-westerly winds blew on the English coasts on
Sunday, accompaaied by northerly breezes in Ireland. To-day light
winds from W. to N. are reported from the Channel, but fresh south-
westerly winds have again commenced in Ireland. Rain and fog
have been very general ; and this morning fog and mist are observed
at most stations. The weather does not look settled.

GERMANY.

The Temps says that great activity has prevailed during
the last fifteen days in the Prussian military departments.
Great quantities of munitions of war and supp lies of food
have been collected at Magdeburg, Hanover, and Minden.
rt is expected that in several co7ps d'arntle a part of the
reserve is about to be called up. It is to be presumed that
the state of affairs at Paris induces the Prussian Govern-
ment, without, perhaps, any immediate expectation of
war, to make ready for eventualities. It is not a little
odd that the astute Count Bismarck should have first pro-
posed the Conference, and then, after the ambassadors
have blundered for a week, set to work to get his corns
d'armie in order.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

WE STAID+ STE R.

DESPERATE ASSAULT UPON A MOTHER-IN-LAW.
—James Randall, a bricklayer, was charged with
assaulting and wounding Sarah Blackley, bis
mother-in-law, by striking her on the head with an
earthenware pitcher.

On the case being called on, there was no pro-
secutrix.

Mr. Selfe —Has anybody seen the prosecutrix ?
Police-sergeant Gazee Lewis, B—l saw her this
morning. She was going to the hospital. She said
she shouldn't come against prisoner, as he was her
son-in-law.

Mr. Selfe—ls the injury serious ?
Police Sergeant—Yes, your worship, it is.

Mr. Selfe—Let me bear the particulars.

Sergeant Lewis—At half-past nine on Saturday
night I was called to 4, Franklin's-row, where I saw
Sarah Blackley sitting on a chair with her head cut
very severely across the forehead. She was bleed-
ing very much. I asked her how it was done, when
she told me in the prisoner's presence that he had
taken up the pitcher full of water, thrown the water
over her daughter, and hit her across the head with
the pitcher.
Mr. Selfe—Was it his wife he threw the water
over?

Witness—No, her sister. Prosecutrix came to
the station in a cab, and was then taken to St.
George's Hospital.
Mr. Selfe—And he has been the cause of this ?
Witness—Prisoner was ill-using his wife, and her
mother interfered.

Prisoner—Me and my wife had a few words, and
the pitcher slipped out of my hand.
Mr. Selfe—l cannot allow a serious case like this
to be withdrawn. Prisoner is remanded.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

The Liberals have not only drawn first bl'ood in the
nY rues now being held into our election purity,
but have followed up their victory by another in
Scotland. The petition presented against Sir
Sydney Waterlow, who won Dumfriesshire from
Major Walker, the old Conservative member, has
fallen through. Sir Sydney was first charged
with bribery and intimidation, and the seat was
claimed by his opponent. About a fortnight ago,
however, the petitioner applied to the Clerk of Court
in Scotland, to withdraw the pleas of bribery and
intimidation, but persisted in claiming the seat,
on the ground that the London alderman was a
partner in a firm which held a Government contract
at the time of his election. It appears that the
gallant major has made a terrible blunder some-
where, for it is now announced that notice has been
lodged of an application for leave to withdraw the
whole of the petition. The ground alleged for the
withdrawal is that the petitioner is now satisfied that
it would serve no public purpose to go on further
with the inquiry. It is not yet known whether
Sir Sydney was eligible for election, but in
the event of his resigning he would probably be
elected again by a larger majority.
The Western Morning Xetvs states that it should not
be surprised if one or both of the Cornish petitions fell
through, "as the result of second thoughts as to the
question of expense." The two petitions presented
from Cornwall are—Bodmin,where Mr.Wyld is endea-
vouring to get the seat now occupied by Mr. L. Gower;
and Falmouth, where, in consequence of the Liberals
being too sanguine of the result of the elections, the
Conservatives (Messrs. Fowler and Eastwick) won an
unexpected victory. From Falmouth the security of
£l,OOO has been deposited; but from Bodmin the
.defeated candidate himself has been obliged to become
surety for 1-?.50 in order to make up the amount.
London, England, 1869-01-18

SPAIN.

The relations between the Provisional Government ana
the Tuileries have become somewhat unfriendly. The
intention of the Spanish Ministry to send a corps d'armee
to the northern frontier, to hold in check the Carlists and
Isabellists, is said to have given offence to the Emperor.
It is certain that the Emperor has given offence to the
Provisional Government. After the Madrid loan had been
,ffered for some time in Paris, an order was suddenly
riven to remove all announcements from the Exchanges,
and all possible obstacles have been thrown in the way of
the sale of the bonds as contrary to law. Senor Olozaga
is much offended at this proceeding, which he attributes
to the influence of Isabella.
The Madrid correspondent of the Constitutionnel gives an
amusing account of the result of the municipal elections
g Cadiz. This great triumph of Republicanism secured
the return of seven councillors who have fallen, at some
period of their career, under the jurisdiction of the criminal
iaw, three who are neither electors nor eligible for election,
Due foreigner, and nine who will not accept the greatness
which has been thrust upon them. The remainder are
not sufficient to form a council, and there must be another
election.

NEWS FROM AMERICA.

" Shalcspere wrote good plays," poor Artemus
Ward used to say, " but he would never have
succeded as a "Washington correspondent of a New
York daily paper. Ile lacked the requisite imagina-
tion and fancy." And certainly our friends acrogs
the great lake do fall upon some most extraordinary
canard& A.story went the round of the press the other
clay which made many of Mr. Charles Dickens's admirers
murmur a little. It was to the effect that his
brother's wife had just died in Chicago in great want
and privation. This, so soon after the announcement
of Mr. Dickens's arrangements as to his readings,
and, considering the character of such readings, rather
outraged our idea of propriety. Mr. Dickens, how-
ever, writes to say that the whole thing is a hoax ;
his sister-in-law is still living, and is a frequent guest
at his house.

THE NEW CANON.

Mr. Gladstone is to be congratulated upon his first
important ecclesiastical appointment. Mr. Mozley,
who is to be the new Canon of Worcester, is one of
the ablest writers in the Church. He was educated
at Oriel College, Oxford. took his B.A. degree in
1834, was appointed by Magdalen College Vicar of
Old Shoreham, wrote in 1855 a " Treatise on the
Augustinian Doctrine of Predestination," and
in 1850 on " The Primitive Doctrine of
Baptismal Regeneration ;" but he is best
known by his Bampton Lectures. One of
the most hopeful signs of the times is the contrast
which there is between the Church dignitaries now
dying out and those who take their places. Petwecn the
epoch of the late Dean lloward, of Lichfield,and that
of the present Dean Champneys, between the epoch of
the late Canon Fortescue and that of the new Canon
Mozley, there is all the difference between a Church
whose preferments were given to the scions of great
Whig families and a Church whose preferments are
given to learned theologians. In the one case,
Church preferment was bestowed to secure political
support ; in the other, it is bestowed to reward eccle-
siastical research.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

It is generally believed that the news of the overthrow
if Lopez is substantially true. It comes, indeed, from Rio
Janeiro, and Brazil has been so much in the habit of
recording great victories just as the mail was steaming out
for Europe that a liberal discount is always needful. But
there' is one great reason why this last intelligence should.
be correct. It had become absolutely necessary that
Brazil should finish the war, or the war would finish
Brazil. The burden had become intolerable, and the Allies
were utterly weary of the contest. It is likely, therefore,
that Caxias has struck a great blow, and has succeeded.
