TILE CAULISTS.

The Carlist movement is of great service to the Spanish
Government as a "bogey" which is constantly raised to
frighten the refractory sections of the Cortes. A great
show of force is kept in the North as a safeguard against
a Carlist inroad ; but the Duke of Madrid's followers
never make their appearance. According to the Madrid
correspondent of the Independence Beige, a large fleet of
Spanish ships is now watching the northern shores of
Spain. But so little are the inhabitants of the Basque
provinces disposed to rise in the interests of Don Carlos
that no less than 1,000 men in that district have just
volunteered for service in Cuba.

GOLD IN ALAeRA.

The Californian papers state that large deposits of gold
have been found in Alaska, the dismal region which Mr.
Seward purchased from Russia. Specimens were obtained
by a Russian engineer from the few Indians who inhabit
this desolate spot, and further examination revealed the
existence of rich mines. But the climate and the terribly
desolate character of the country will probably prevent
these gold deposits from being largely worked. Mining
would be practicable during only five months of the year.

THE BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY.

Exeter Hall was well attended on Wednesday, on the
occasion of the annual meeting of the British and Foreign
Bible Society. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided. The
report, which was one mass of statistics, stated that the
income of the society for the past year had been nearly
£200,000. Of this sum £98,160 was applied to the
general purposes of the society, whilst £78,328 was ex-
pended in the production of Bibles and Testaments.
There was upwards of £lO,OOO received for special
objects—.£l,soo for the China fund ; £3,645 for the
Spanish fund, and £6,317 for the building fund. The
total expenditure amounted to £187,537, nearly £lO,OOO
of that amount having been paid on account of the
rew premises. The total amount of the society's
liabilities on the date when the accounts were made up
was £98,651. The issues of books from the society's
depot during the past year had been over two millions.
The total issues from the society's commencement now
amount to the extraordinary figure of 57 millions. Through
its means chiefly the Scriptures are now circulated in 185
languages. The adoption of the report was moved by
the Archbishop of York, seconded by the Rev. Canon
Smith, and carried unanimously. The Bishop of Vic-
toria, the Rev. L. Vince, the Rev. Dr. Schaft, the Rev.
N. Muirhead, and others subsequently addressed the
meeting.

LONDOW, THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1869.

Nothing could well be more prompt or more ener-
getic than the action of the Government in regard to
the Mayor of Cork. " The O'Suulvax Disability
Bill" is the title of the measure suddenly prepared,
and yesterday submitted to the House of Commons,
with a view to the removal of that functionary forth-
with from the magisterial position he has so recently,
so very flagrantly, and so very disloyally brought into
disrepute. As to the offencc thus summarily to
punished, there is no doubt whatever about it. As
Mr. GATHORNE HARDY remarked yesterday " the
facts are known"—they are simply noto-
rious. According to Mr. DISRAELI tile Bill
is framed upon an ex parte statement—the
Legislature is asked to act upon the ipse dixit of an
Irish Attorney-General. Putting it thus pointedly,
almost personally, against that responible law
officer of the Crown, cannot of course be very agree-
able to him—cannot, indeed, but be wounding to the
amour-propre of that right hon. gentleman. Refer-
ring to the sneering allusion thus made to the Irish
Attorney-General, Mr. GLADSTONE could not refrain
from exclaiming, " Sir, I have rarely heard a
personal taunt delivered in this House that
was more entirely out of place." The Prime
Minister adding, thereupon —" The office of
Attorney-General for Ireland is a high and distin-
guished office, The Attorney-General for Ireland is

FOREIGN NOTES.

TIM ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The vote upon the Clarendon-Johnson Treaty in tfte
United States Senate—E4 to I—fairly represents the cur-
rent of American opinion. Scarcely any two Americans
agree as to the precise nature of the claims to be made
upon England, but almost all concur that the terms of Mr.
Reverdy Johnson's treaty are thoroughly unsatisfactory.
But the new number of the Nara American Ileviera
contains an article by Mr. Ilertry._l3. _Adams, son
of the late United States Minister to this country, and,
if report speaks correctly, Mr. Adams utterly condemns
the rejection of the Alabama Treaty. He regards the
vote of the Senate as the reckless abandonment of the
greatest victory ever achieved by American diplomacy.
England made very great concessions to bring about this
settlement. America conceded nothing but the principle
of arbitration. Could the United States, asks Mr. Adams,
concede less without taking the law into its own hands?
The only conclusion that foreigners can come to is elat
the Senate desires to reserve these claims as a pretext for
territorial agrandisement at some future time. Mr.
Adarea is of opinion, indeed, that British North America
should fall to the United States—that such a result would
be to the interest of England ; but he apparently holds
that the Alabama claims ought not to be made the hinge
on which this transfer of territory is to turn. Similarly
moderate writing may be found in the New York Times
and the Nation, but the balance of popularsentiment is all
on the other side.

DIFFICULTIES ABOUT CUBA.

General Dulce, Captain-General of Cuba, recently pub-
lished a proclamation ordering the immediate execution of
persons carrying contraband of war. The Owl thinks that
this determination menaced the friendly relations between
England and Spain, and is glad to hear that the Madrid
Government does not intend to justify it. The fact is,
that the proclamation was a mere feint. The Spaniards
have been guilty of cruelties towards the insurgent
Cubans, but it is hardly likely that they would dare to
execute the crew of a blockade runner. Another state-
ment is equally inexplicable. If it be proved that the
Mary Lowell was illegally captured by the Spaniards in
British waters, the Americans mean to claim of us damages
for her detention, because, it is to be presumed, we
did not prevent the capture! This is simply sheer non-
sense.

HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—Jane Faithful was
charged with assaulting her little step-daughter, Ellen, six
years of age. _

Mr. Motum, secretary of the Society for the Protection
of Women and Children, prosecuted, and Mr. W. D. Smyth,
solicitor, of Rochester-row, defenaed.
The defendant was tefore Mr. Mansfield at this court
ff:x weeks ago, and it appeared that for a length of time
the child had been beaten and ill-used, and so ill and badly
fed that at so early an age it was suffering from what is
termed mesenteric disease, similar to diabetes in the
grown up subject. It was taken care of by the Marquis
'Townsend, and is improving in health. Mr. Mansfield
commented in the strongest terms on the horrible cruelty
that had boon subsequently practised on the poor infant,
but as the defendant's solicitor stated her to be in the last
stage's of consumption and her appearance fully bore that
out, the case was adjourned in order that the police might
report on the defendant's conduct. _ _

The child has since been in the custody of the Marquis
and progresses favourably.
Defendant's health was reported to be worse.
Mr. Arnold ordered her to find £2O bail for her good
behaviour for 12 mouths.

The surety was forthcoming and defendant was re-
leased.

The child was again taken back to the 'Marquis's home

THE COLONIAL EPISCOPATE.

Dr. Beckles intends to resign his bishopric on
account of ill health. Nine years of episcopacy in
Sierra Leone is enough for any man, and no doubt
Dr. Beckles will get rewarded by easy but lucrative
preferment at home. It is not stated why Dr.
Alford, Bishop of Victoria, has returned home from
lying Kong, after having given his diocese only a
little more than a year of episcopal supervision. It
will be remembered that great difficulty was found
in filling up this see when it became vacant. Lord
Granville is likely to find some difficulty in filling
up that of Sierra Leone.

THE MAYOR OF CORK.

That the Government are bringing in a bill to
remove Mr. O'Sullivan from his mayoralty at Cork,
and to deprive him of his other offices under the
Crown, will cause general satisfaction on this side of
the water. The feeling that a Ministry with Mr.
Gladstone at its head paid with Mr. Bright as a
member would not have the moral courage to adopt
restrictive measures, is shewn to be unfounded, and
the malcontents on the other side of the water are
plainly told that they may carry their conduct too
far. The Mayor is, we are glad to see, meeting
with the just consequence of his extravagance among
his own countrymen also. As long as they gave him
encouragement the Government would find their
task a hard one. But the Yacht Club of Cork has
been taking means to expel him, and he saved them
the trouble by sending in his resignation. lie has
left Cork and the other magistrates in peace for a
while, and is now probably in Dublin.

•
THE STAFFORD ELECTION PETITIONS.
We can hardly congratulate Mr. Justice Black-
burn on having to try the Stafford election petitions.
If both of them are proceeded with to the issue his
lordship will have by no means a lively time. The
return of both Mr. Alderman Pochin (Liberal) and
Colonel Mellor (Conservative) is petitioned against
on the ground of bribery, treating, and undue
influence. But the most tedious part of the business
is the scrutiny. Nine hundred and twelve of the
Colonel's votes are objected to by Mr. Chawner, the
defeated Liberal candidate. In return, 497 of Mr.
Chawner's votes are opposed. The statement of the
petition against the return of Colonel Mellor makes
the case against that gentleman very dark. If it
can only be borne out in evidence, his seat is worth-
less. There would seem to have been a most elabo-
rate system of treating carried on, for which the
electors paid ostensibly, by mock collections and
absurdly-inadequate instalments, but for which the
Colonel really paid.

THE LATE CIIIEF JUSTICE LEFROY.

The announcement of the death of ex-Chief-
Justice Lefroy, in his 06th year, reminds us that it
is not only bishops who cling to their places when
they are past work. The late Chief Justice of
Ireland positively refused to resign, in spite
of the fact that he was so deaf that he often
missed the points in an argument, and frequently
dozed while counsel were pleading. When
the public began to cry out, the Conservatives
supported the judge, declared that though he was
upwards of 90 years old he was in full possession of
his faculties, and denounced, as scandalous and
ungenerous, the assumption that a nonagenarian was
not as capable of administering justice as a man half
his age. But the Russell-Gladstone Administration
went out, and it was then discovered that justice
might be better served by having a more
vigorous man in the chief judgment seat. Those
few weeks wrought a rapid change in the opinions
of the Conservative party on this matter. Fortu-
nately for them, the Chief Justice was not troubled
with " conscientious" scruples about resignation.
He did not consider that to resign would be to
commit sin against the Iloly Ghost; but being a
good party man, he did what his party wanted, and
made way, as soon as his friends came into office,
as they all along intended that he should, for another
party man, Mr. Whiteside. The legal Nestor was
destined to see his party out again, but he had the
consolation of knowing that the seat he had so long
occupied was filled by one of the most pronounced
Tories in all Ireland.

POLICE LYTELLIGENCE.-7his Day.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—Gocrgo Hoff-
man, who has become notorious for his attacks on the
police and others, was brought before Mr. Benson, on re-
mand, charged with violently assaulting and wounding
George Checkley, a police-constable, No. 216 11.
It appeared that the prisoner and another man were
fighting, at the Western end of the Commercial-road, and
the policeman separated them, and requested both to leave
and go home. One man did so. The prisoner resented
the constable's interference, and one of his Lrutal com-
panions, knowing his cowardly and murderous-like pro-
pensities said " Give the - one,
George, he is all alone."
The prisoner too earnestly followed this advice, and hit
the policeman, who fell. Checkley was soon up again,
and collared Hoffman, who knocked him down
again. B‘ th fell, and a fierce struggle took place
on the ground. They both got up again, and
the prisoner kicked Checkley on the legs until
he disabled him. The constable again fell, and while he
was on the ground one of the prisoner's savage confede-
rates actually jumped upon him. Another equally mur-
d!rous in his designs endeavoured to drive a horse and
cart stopping in the road over the senseless form of the
constable, and was only prevented doing so by Mr. Alfred
Jacobs, a tailor and outfitter in the road, who saw the
whole occurrence, and but for whose interference, assisted
by Mr. Walter Hayward, a traveller, the constable would
have been murdered. Mr. Hayward added that while the
constable was lying senseless on the ground the prisoner
beat Checkley's head against the stones. A large force of
police succeeded in arresting the prisoner and conveying
him to the station-house.

The prisoner said ho would reserve his defence.
211 r. Benson committed him for trial.
