THE SHAM TIGHT.

The sham fight was of course the spectacle whiCh excited
the most enthusiasm. To describe it is to describe all
unreal, but interesting, scene. The fleet representing the
enemy opened fire upon the Castle, which soon surren-
dered, and was invested by the volunteers. Having
polished off this strong work in the brief space of fifteen
minutes, the victorious enemy pursued their career of
success forcing back the defenders in the
direction uk toeir works, while the flotilla, set free, by the
fall of -Southsea Castle, steamed along, hugging the shore,
covering the flanks of their friends, and firing with
admirable rapidity at the works of Portsmouth.
The sight of the day, for beautiful precision of
movement, was an advance in line by the Royal
Marine Artillery, who were warmly cheered as they passed
the grand stand in pursuit of the defenders. Having
forced back the reconnoitring party. to their works, theY
deployed at short range, and opened a tremendous fire of
rifles and artillery, backed by the fire of their fleet. T"
defenders, manning the long line of their ramparts, re-
turned the fire with interest, the volunteer artillery doing
splendid service at the guns on the seaward faces in rep!'"
to the flotilla. After a fiercely contested battle, the hi'
vaders succeeded in so far reducing the fire from the
works as to give the hope of a successful as'
sault. During the manoeuvres which attended the
advance and retreat the field-pieces were wheeled
about with much rapidity in the thick of the
crowd, and that there should have been no serious
accident seems almost incredible. The effect of men rand
boys and women mingling with, and in some cases leading
on, the attacking force, was ridiculous. The people were
so close to the volunteers engaged that had one of then'
by mistake fired away his ramrod it must have spitted
some of them like larks. It appeared to he :Tr)" good
fun, and did not much hinder the advance of the invaders,
although it did turn order into confusion. By and byc
the sham fight neared its end, and the tide of battle
gathered close tinder the walls of the town. The big guns
shook the air, the pit pat of the Sniders sounded like the
throbbing of a hundred engines, the bayonets gleamed
like lightning when the smoke lifted a little, and
the clear occasional note of the bugle v:3l
never drowned by the other sounds, however
combined and reverberating they might be. --61
the r garrison now- made an attempt to recover. -1
sortie was made, and for a while the fight was doubtful;
but the fury of the garrison daunted the invaders,
crushed by the overwhelming rapidity of the fire from the
breechloader, now fairly retreated.

. A I?7' UNIUN.- CI HIS DAY.)

The annual meeting of the ;;übseribers to the
Art Union was held today at the Royal Adelphi
Theatre.

The annual report of the dir-Jctors was read by
Mr. Lewis Pockcock, from which it appeared the
Art Union of London had now been in operation
thirty-two year,:, and, daring that time, had cA-
lecke' for the parposa of aiding in ths; advance-
ment of art, and thereby in the advance-
ment of civilization, a sum exceeding £376,000.
The premium of two hundred guineas for a series
of not less than twenty partially-shaded drawings
(size 12 in. by 8 in.), illustrating some poeticil or
historical work of a British author, or events in
British history, the selection being left to the di;,cre
Lion of the artists, brought 34 sets of designs, of vari-.
ous degrees of merit. After due consideration the coun-
cil selected as most deserving of the premium offered
a series illustrative of Charles Kingsley's well-
known story of " Hereward the Wake." These
drawings were afterwards found to be the work of
of 11. C. Mous, already known to the subscribers
for his admirable designs to the "Pilgrim's Pro-
gress." These designs are of a very high order of
merit, and, as they fulfil the stipulations of the ad-
vertisement in every particular, your council have
placed them in the hands of Mr. Charles Lewis to
be engraved, and a copy of the series will be pre-
sented to each subscriber in the ensuing year.
The amount available for the purchase of works of
art from the public galleries, viz., £4,922 10s., bas
been thus allotted :-22 works at £lO each ; 21 at
£l5 ; 12 at £2O ; 12 at £25 ; 12 at £3O ; £lO at
£35 ; 8 at £4O; 5 at /45 ; 6 at £5O ; 4 at £6O ;
4 at £75 ; 3 at £lOO ; 2 at £l5O ; and 1 at £2OO.
The report having been received, the drawing for
prizes was proceeded with.

THE STATE OF IRELA D

The unsettled state of Ireland just now is again
illustrated by an example. What one of the Fenian
journals recently described as the " agrarian war in
the South," seems to be vigorously conducted. A
magistrate and a landlord has fallen as the latest
victim to it. Mr. W. J. Bradshaw, of Philipstown
House, Cappawhite, was shot dead on Saturday
morning at teno'clock,at a short distancefrom his own
house. It appears that Mr. Bradshaw left home about
half-past seven o'clock to give directions toll's workmen
in the fields. lle seemed low-spirited and restless.
Ile left to return by a sequestered path, with a stream
on one side and trees on the other.. In a few minutes
two shots were heard, but no attention was paid to
them. About nine o'clock some constables came on
magisterial business, and Mrs. Bradshaw, thinking it
time her husband should bc, at home to breakfast,
sent an old man to look for him. He went to the
fields and heard the deceased had left, and, following
the path, found him lying in the stream. Six feet
from it was a pool of blood. The injuries
were horrible—ten pellet and ten bullet wounds in
the head. The police and the magistrates were soon
on the spot. Suspicion fell on a young man named
All.s, the son of a small tenant. He could not be
found, but List evening. he walked boldly into
Philipstown Horse, and gave himself up to the
police, making statements of where he had been
which they knew to be false.

STEALING BEEF FOR A DINNER PARTY.—Martha Tibbs,
aged 23 years, a remarkable-looking, dissipated woman,'
with a red face, and a nose covered with grog blossoms,
who said she came from Flower and Dean-street, a thieves
colony in Spitalfields, was charged with stealing 221 b. of
prime beef, value 16s. 6d.,, from the shop of Mr. James
Parfitt., No. 160, White Horse-street, Limehouse.
The prisoner was seen to take the piece of beef off the
prosecutor's shop board and conceal it under her shawl.
When taken into custody she had the impudence to say
she intended to cook the beef for her dinner, and had in-
vited a party with the intention of giving them a good
feed of roast beef. The intended dinner party were
doomed to disappointment. She pleaded guilty, and
being unknown to the police, was sentenced to 10 days'
imprisonment and hard labour.

POLICE LVTE'LLIGENCE.-71tis Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

GOUGING A MAN'S EYE.—John Symes, coffeehouse-
keeper, of No. 44, Fish-street hill, was charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with assaulting Dennis Coleman, a coachman, of
Anglesea.-yard, Haymarket, and Mr. Laws, a warehouse-
man, of No. 27, Hanover-street, Walworth-row, was
charged with attempting to rescue Symes from the custody

was leaving his master's yard, h.) saw the prisoner Symes
committing a nuisance and requested him to leave, as his
wife was coming out, upon which Sytm-s struck him twice
on the hat with
.a stick, and then rushed after him and
knocked him down and put his thumb into his (corn-
plainant's) eye and pushed it out, causing him great pain,
and he had to push his eye back into its proper place.
Mr. Tyrwhitt sentenced Symes to six weeks' with hard
labour, and Laws to pay a fine of 10s., or seven days.

North has triumphed over the man of many
defeats, and has added another to the list of failures
already so large. The Great Western has giver
in at last, and, in the place of the expensive
broad gauge, they are laying down the more con-
venient narrow gauge. As regards the Midland dis-
tricts of England, the broad gauge is already a thing
of the pre. Since the Ist inst. the Great Western-Rail-
way Company have eei.sed to run any broad gauge
pu,•senger trains between London and Birmingham on
Wolverhampton. Travellers between London and
Shrewsbury or the North have no longer to change
carriages either at Wolverhampton or Birmingham
the trains now running between Padd7ngton and
Birkenhead on the narrow gauge without any
change whatever. Already,too, on the branch between
Reading and Basingstoke, the third rail has been re-
moved, thus converting that line from a mixed gauge
into an entirely narrow gauge line, and connecting
the Great Western system with the London and
South-Western Railway and the South of England
In addition to this, the whole of the broad gauge
lines north of Oxford will immediately be taken up,
removing in the Midland counties the last trace of
the system.

and others, respondents, was taken by the Lord Chan-

Solicitor-General (appearing for Miss Shedden) applied
that the case might be postponed till after a motion had
been made to Lord Penzance in the Matrimonial Causes
Court relative to the alleged mutilated documents and
other matters. The learned counsel stated that Miss
Shedden was in a very weak state of health, and that the
present case was one of life or death to her. He trusted
that the case might be postponed till after 'Whitsuntide.
Their lordships, having consulted together, refused the
application.

with having a very valuable meerschaum pipe mounted in
silver in his possession.
Mr. Edwin Soames, pawnbroker, ulham-road, said that
a man offered the pipo in pawn last night. Seeing it was
a very valuable one, and the min not giving a
satisfactory account about it, kept the pipe.
Seeing the man when ho left speak to the
prisoner, witness inquired of him respecting the
pipe, when ho said he found it in a dust-hole at 16,

PROPERTY IN ADVOWSONS.

The amendment to the Irish Church Bill proposed
by Captain Archdall on Friday night, providing that
compensation for advowsons should be paid not to
the owners of livings, but to the Irish Church body,
raised a neat point of equity. Sir Stafford North-
cote, in stating the whole case, left his hearers in
doubt as to what his opinion was. He pointed out
that a living was public property, vested by accident
in one person. He shewed that, according to his
opinion, this person—the landlord—was being com-
pensated for all his losses by the provisions of the bill.
And yet he declared he would not vote against this
person being compensated again. The Times stated his
argument as that adowsons were not private pro-
perty . Sir Stafford, however, writes correcting this,
and, so far as we can gather from his letter, what the
member for North Devon really does hold is
that, theoretically, a living is public property. In
its commencement it was such ; but practically—the
sale of adowsons having become a recognised trans-
action—it has vested is and become the private pro-
perty of the one who holds it. So though he speaks
on abstract principles, Sir Stafford votes without
them.

militia, yeomanry, and volunteers from serving on grand
. . -

juries.

The bill was read a first time.

Their lordships then proceeded to further consider the
bill for the improvement of tho tenure of land in Ireland.

Earl GRAN VILLE complained of the speech delivered
by Lord Grey on the second reading, as calculated to pro-
duce an erroneous impression.

I (Earl GREY expressed his belief that the passingof Lord
Clanecardo's bill would produce a beneficial effect in Ire-
land, and regretted that the Government were not pre-
part d to give it their support.
After some further discussion tho Marquis of CLANRI-
GARDE postponed the further consideration of the bill till
the 25th of May.
Their lordships ttien:adjiurned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
THE MURDER AT DOVER.

Mr. CARDWELL, in reply to a question from Mr. I'.
Taylor, said it was quite true that Corporal Barnes had
been suspected of insanity, and had been 53 days in the
h9spitbl and then discharged, ou.the surgeon pronouncing
him not insane, and that ho continued to perform his
duties properly and well. He was, however, of opinion
that neglect did not attach to the surgeon, and the Di-
rector:General was about to communicate officially with
him.

DOVER HOUSE.

Mr PARDWELL, in reply to Mr. Shaw, said it was
not true that Government had purchased the lease of
Dover liouso. The best mode of conducting the business
of the Horse Guards and War-office would be by having
the two departments under one roof, and that matter was
now under consideration.
IRISH RAILWAYS.

Mr. GLADSTONE, in reply to Mr. 0. Gore, NIA that
Government were aware of the strong wish of the Irish
represe►,ta:ives and other prsons of great influence that
a measure wi!h respect to the Government taking the Irish
railways in hand, end that a bill to that effect might be
form( d on the second report of the commissionersappointed
to inquire into the subject, but Government thought other
methods might be thought of, and therefore he could pro-
mise that the subject should receive that respectful consi.
iteration to which it was entitled. It would b.) wrong for
hint, at the present moment, to give any at.swer that
►night lead to any anticipation as to what that measure
would be..

CRISIS IN PORTUGAL

The news from Portugal is vague, mysterious, and dis-
turbing. " Fresh insurrections," we are told, "quickly re-
pressed, break out every day in the army." Nothing is said
as to the nature or extent of these outbreaks, but it is
clear that the country is in a very unsettled state. The
King has called the Duke of Saldanha to take the Presi-
dency of the Council, with the portfolio of foreign affairs.
But this state.smtn declines to face tLe situation. Ile
excuses himself on the ground that he is too old, and that
the difficulties which await the Government require prompt
and energetic measures.

TIIE SPANISH THRONE. •

At a recent sitting of the Cortes, Sefior Zorilla told the
Republican minority that the refusal of Dom Fernando
had not left the Government without resource. They
still had a candidate. This is believed to be Prince
Leopold, of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, elder brother of
Prince Charles of Roumania, and brother-in-law of the
King of Portugal. In no way is he connected with the
Bourbon family.

DRUNKENNEES IN THE ARMY.

A general order has just been issued from the
Horse Guards, dealing with drunk ennts3 in the army.
The offence is to be punished by fines increasing in
amount according to the frequency of the offence.
There is a right of appeal to a court martial. TI e
following is the scale of fines :—" First and second
acts, admonition or confinement to barracks, at
the discretion of the commanding officer.
For every subsequent act of drunkenness, if within
three months of a former act, 7s. 6d.; if over three
and within six months, es.; if over six and within
nine months, 2s. 6d. ; if over nine and within twelve
months, company entry ; if over twelve monWis, to
be treated as the first act; when the four preceding
acts have been committed in twelve months, 2s. ed.
to be added to the foregoing scale. The fines to be
levied in colonial corps (the Royal Canadian Rifle
Regiment excepted) will in each case be one-half the
amounts above specified. and the maximum daily
stoppage is to be 2d." In one part of the order the
curious provision occurs that " all defaulm.elstineanrsgniodinsareruyseitliill.itonc,
be permitted to enter the canteen during certain

the l ihrse Gur.rj.s, to be exposed to temptation a
second time.

FOREIGN NOTES.

THE CONSPIRACY AT lIILAN.

The plot discovered at Milan was got up by Mazzinians.
According to the rersercranza, it was very skilfully
arranged. The conspirators had been divided into sections
and subdivisions, Milan being only one of the principal
centres. Revolvers and Orsini bombs had been dis-
tributed. It was agreed that at dawn on a certain day
the discharge of a number of bombs should be the
signal for the rising at Milan to commence ; all the
principal civil functionaries and military authorities
were to be arrested as the first step, in the hope that the
police and soldiers would be powerless without leaders.
A considerable number of the conspirators have been
captured, including not a few army officers of the lower
grades. Letters by Mazzini have been found on
some of these individuals. What chance of success the
Mazzinians anticipated it is not easy to divine ; but it is
evident that, at all events, a serious attempt was
meditated.

The Italian papers express much dissatisfaction at the
conduct of the Swiss Government in harbouring Mazzini
and his accomplices within its territory. According to one
letter, General Menabrea had addressed an " energetic
note" to the Government at Berne demanding the expul-
sion of the Mazzinians from the canton of Ticino. 'I he
Italian Government, it is said, will even blockade the
canton if satisfaction be not given.

THE PREACHING SEASON.

The London preaching season is now in full force.
Bishops, being mortals, have a lively appreciation
of the amenities of the metropolis during the
spring, and probably more than half of the
bishops who are not impotent are now in
town. They make good use of their Sundays by
preaching in behalf of various charities, or for
their friends who have not yet advanced beyond the
second clerical order. On Sunday three archbishops
and a large number of bishops held forth at various
churches. The Bishop of Derry, the foremost orator
of the Irish Church, preached at Westminster
Abbey, to an enormous congregation ; but though
there were eloquent passages in the sermon, it did
not come up to the high expectations which Bishop
Alexander's fame had excited. At the Temple
Church the Bishop of Peterborough preached to a
congregation which contained a large number of
notabilities, including the Speaker, Lord Granville,
Mr. Hardy, and Mr. Cardwell. The Bishop of Oxford
preached at Aldermanbury, on the excellencies of the
Church Liturgy.

TURNING ME TABLES.
The harvest festival of the. Rev. Alan Greenwell.

of the appearance of a pig's head among the offerings.
Great was the outcry excited by that unlucky gift of. the peasant who in the fullness of his heart gave of
his substance, and never dreamed of the notoriety
that his act would bring upon his village. Mr
Greenwell shortly afterwards resigned h's cure
and was succeeded by a Mr. Slier Lek.
gentleman has given great offence to his
parishioners because he has abandoned some of
tha Ritual practised by his predecessor. One of the
churchwardens has presented his vicar to the Arch.
deacon on the grOund that the vicar would not weal
the " legal eucharistic vestments." Archdeacor
Jones declined to give the required admonition. Ar
appeal is now being made to the Bishop of Chester
and the churchwarden declares that he will, if neces-
sary, carry the matter into the Court of Arches.
Clearly it is the Church militant which we have here
on earth.

MR. ACLAND, M.P., ON TIIE FRIENDS OP TIIP

CIIUIICH.

Acland was one of the guests at the festival ol
St. Mark's Training College, Chelsea. In the course
of his remarks the member for North Devon said
" they had heard that these were times full of danger
and difficulty—times in which the Church had tc
encounter (as they were often told) hostility me
treachery ; but he would say to the young mer
before him, Do not believe that the cause of the
Church depends upon any particular party in the
country. Use your common sense and eommor
judgment, and eo not believe that these who appe
he stile to the Church, and are perhaps compelled tc
ta!:e a course which wears that aspect, may not, aftei
all, be some of the warmest-hearted and most earnest
of Churchmen.'" Wise words these, and particu•
larly needed just now.

RUMOURED NEW PEERS.

A telegram from Ottawa, published by the New York
Times, says : " It is believed in well-informed circles that
Sir George E. Cartier, Sir John A. McDonald, and the
Hon. Messrs. Howe and Tilley will be made lords, under
the bill introduced by Earl Russell, creating life
peerages."

The Liverpool Courier has been requested by Mr. John
Pemberton Heywood, of Norris Green, to contradict the
rumour which has been published in the Manchester and
other newspapers that he was about to be made a peer.
Mr. Heywood says there is no foundation whatever for
such a statement.

DIPLOMATIC DISCLOSULISS.

The career of the admirable Mr. Benjamin Higgs is not
the only case which may serve to point the moral that
nothing is so damaging to success as too close inquiry into
the means by which it is attained. The Prussian war
of 1866 was a striking triumph, but unfortunately for the
credit of Count Bismarck and his royal master, all their
fine schemes are now being detailed to the world in black
and white. A few months ago the publication of the
famous Usedom despatch, in which Count Bismarck
laid down a scheme by which Prussia and Italy were to
achieve the utter ruin of Austria, was the source of
infinite annoyance to the Prussian statesmen. Count
Bismarck was obliged, for decency's eake, to disavow the
document—a task to which he address,d himself under
the pleasing consciousness that nobody would believe him.
A still more mortifying disclosure has just been made.
The other day we gave the substance of a despatch ad-
dressed by Count Bismarck to the Prussian Ambassador at
Paris. This creditable communication was sent by telegraph
in cypher,
_but the Austrians " milked" the wires, and
discovered the key to the cypher. The despatch is to be
published in tl:e fourth volume of the great work on the
war by the Austrian staff, but it has bten given in advance
by the New Free Pros. In it Count Lien rtrck informs the
Ambassador that King Wiliiam cared little or nothing
about a North German Confederation. What he wanted
was annexation—Conquest in the good old style. Tie would
not consent to make peace without substantial additions
to Prussian territory. And yet King William had re-
peatedly assured the world, at Wiesbaden and in ITanover,
that he never intended to deprive his brother German
sovereigns of their crowns. He followed these sincere
protests by the declaration that he would rather abdicate
than return from the campaign without conquest. NVell
might the French journals copy this despatch with openly.
manifested glee ; well may the Prussian papers protest
against its publication. The assurance that the unity of
Germany means, in King William's phraseology, unity
under Prussia, is not likely to gratify the Southern States.

TEE BROAD AND NARLOW GAUGES.

The battle of the gauges is over. In the fighl
between Stephenson and Brunel, the genies of the
North lies triumphed over the man of many
defeats, and has added another to the list of failures
already so large. The Oreat 'Western has p;:ver
in at last, and, in the place of the expensive
broad gauge, they are laying down the more con-
venient narrow gauge. As regards the Midland ds-
triets of England, the broad gauge is already a thin!:
of the pest. Since the lst inst. the G rent Western 11 is if-
way Compnny have ceased to run any broad gauge
passenger trains between London and Birmingham oi
Wolverhampton. Travellers between London and'
Shrewsbury or the North have no longer to change
carri3ges either at Wolverhampton or Binning-11pm
the trains now running between Paddington and
Birkenhead on the narrow gauge without any
change whatever. Already, too, on the branch betweer
Reading and Basingstoke, the third rail has been re-
moved, thus converting that line from a mixed gauge
info an entirely narrow gauge line, and connecting
the Great Western system with the London and
South-Western Railway and the South of England
In addition to this, the whole of the broad. gauge
lines north of Oxford will immediately be taken up,
removing in the Midland counties the last trace of
the system.

IlonAcE GREELEY that no one ever thinksof putting
" Mr." before his nmic. " Shake hands IIoRACIt',.
writes GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, " and do not do it
again." The truth is, that Americans, notwilb"
s!auding their Republican principles, perhaps more
covet individual distinction than any other people.
If they cannot bear titles (by the way, wherever
they can they do, either of army or navy rank, or
the degrees conferred by universities) they seek to
make their names known among their fellow'
citizens, and some do astonishing things for the
sake of a momentary notoriety. There is a prying
curiosity too in American journalism which drags
forth everything into the light of day. Like pawn;
brokers in the
.North of China, while airing
turning their old clothes, they are shouting then'
for inspection and sale; there is no washing of that
linen at home, nor anywhere else but ill the
thronged market place. Although English jour'
