CHARGE OF ROBBING A PARTNICH.—Mr. John Gladivin
was re-examined, charged with stealing £270, the moneys
of a copartnership entered into between hint and John
Edward Turbell.
Mr. James Lewis prosecuted ; Mr. Ribton, instructed by
Mr. W. D. Smyth of Rochester, defended.
On the 4th of December the partnership commenced in
the Fulham-road, the business being that of auctioneers
and estate agents; they put £250 each into the concern,
and the money was banked at the London and Suburban,
Fulham-road ; the cheques were to be initialed by the
partner who did not draw them, and several were so drawn,
tut on February 2 the prisoner drew.one f0r..£270 without
initialing, and then absconded, living under an assumed
name in the country. Turbell had brought an action, and
recovered half the amount from the bank, and there was
still a balance of over £lOO in the bank belonging to the
partnership.
Tho evidence was conflicting about the countersigning,
the clerk stating that if it were so it should have been en-
tered in their books.

Prosecutor was cross-examined by Mr. Ribton at great
length to show that they had quarrelled and prisoner had
wished to determine the partnership and agreement, but
nothing was elicited.
Prisoner was again remanded, bail in £lOO being re-
quired.

LI MUJTII Y,

On Thursday Mr. Murphy again attended at the Bir•
mingham Police-court, to prosecute the two young men
who had been-taken into custody on the previous day for
threatening and endeavouring to assault him. The pri-
soners were William Gilbert, a zinc-worker, and Thomas
Mannion, a bricklayer, and the magistrates on the bench
were Mr. Kynnersky (stipendiary) and Lieutenant-Colonel
Ratcliff. It was proved that the prisoner Gilbert, as
soon as Murphy left the police-court on the previous
day, threw a stone at Murphy's bead with great force.
The stone missed Murphy, but struck a man who was
close beside him. Gilbert was ccnvicted, and required
to pay a fine of ss. and costs, or go to prison for seven
days. As regarded Mannion, it vas proved that he
went up to Murphy with clenched fists and threatened
to strike him. Murphy Limstlf gave evidence against
the prisoner, and raid that he had threatened to "do "
for Lim. Mannion, it appeared, bad a very bad
character, aul had been several times convicted of a
similar offence. He was ordered to be sent to prison for
six weeks. At the close of the case, Mr. Murphy's
solicitor, Mr. Parry, app:ied to the magistrates for protec-
tion to Mr. Murphy whilst Le returned to his own house;
and Superintendent Sheppard was instructed to accom-
pany him home. The superintendent accordingly, with a
number of police constables, escorted him to the Bull
Ring, where he got into a cab, in which he reached his
chapel, in Wrottesley-street, without molestation.
Mr. Murphy has addressed a letter to the Lord Chan-
llor in reply to recent strictures in the House of Lords.
He explains his vocation—that of a public lecturer against
Popery, preaching loyalty to the throne, and obedience to
the laws. He declares that he has been systematically mis-
represented by the press. He does not remonstrate with
Roman Catholics. " But for the purpose of warning I read
to adult Protestant men extracts from Romish text-books,
that they may know what sort of teaching their wives and
children are exposed to, if they should come under the
influence of the priesthood ; and for the same good purpose
my wife reads to English Protestant women the like
examples. Irish Roman Catholics I do net invite, leo
not address them, I do not desire that they should come W
my lectures." In such a work he considers he has a special
claim for protection from a "Liberal Government." He
points out how differently violent politicians, such
as Finlen and Bradlaugh, have been treated. He is not
the only sufferer in this cause. " Mr. Flynn, Mr. Hous-
ton, and others—all more loyal subjects than Drs. Man-
ning, Ullathorne, or Cullen—lave been in the same way
put down by provincial magistrates at the instigation of
priests. One, Mr. Mackey, is now in prison." The letter
was accompanied by various documentary proofs. Its
receipt by the Lord Chancellor has been acknowledged.

THE SAN JUAN BOUNDARY.

The idea of deciding by arbitration the difficulty
respecting the boundary line between the United States
and British North America at the island of San Juan was
proposed by the British Government as far back as 1860.
A despatch from Earl (then Lord John) Russell
to Lord Lyons, dated November 22nd, 1860,
has just been published. Lord John makes a forma:
proposal that the boundary question should be submitted
to the arbitration of some sovereign—the King of Holland,
the King of Sweden, or the President of the Swiss Repub-
lic. Our Foreign Minister likewise suggested that the
arbiter should have full power to finally settle the
difficulty.

Science is constantly adapting new discoveries to
promote domestic comfort. The primeval needle
of bone or thorn was long since displaced by the
beautiful lance-like needle of steel, and that instru-
ment is, in turn, rapidly yielding to one infinitely
superior under feminine direction. As the 7 Imes
recently declared, in one of its leaders, the
Sewing Machine is inevitable, and, what
is more, it will ultimately prove a great
advantage to possess a Sewing Machine,
and to know how to use it is to possess a mine of
wealth. This truth is LOW being universally ad-
mitted, and the question is no longer whether wo
shall purchase a sewing machine, but which of
these indispensable liouscho!d Drticles is best
adapted to family use. Ilaving examined most of
the machines invented, many of which are admir-
able, our prefereuce has fallen to those of Grover
and Baker as capable of performing more varied
operations than any other, as being more simply
in use ; as making the firmest and most elastic
stitch ; as remaininglongest in order ; and as being
readily converted into an elegant piece of furnitur.

THE LATEST CASE OF ABDUCTION.

The Marquis Townshend has an open car for any
complaints, and he gets plenty of grievances told to
him. It is not surprising that he often finds himself
on the wrong side, as his remedy for all wrongs
is to tell them to the nearest police magi-
strate as soon as possible, even before
investigation has been made. He got hold
of an alarming story a day or two back. A
young girl had been forcibly taken away from
Protestant mother by a Roman Catholic priest, and
when demand was made for the child it was refused.
The priest even declined to say where it was. The
mother fled to the Marquis, the Marquis went with
her to the Marylebone Police-court, and there
unfolded the sad talc. But the magistrate
wanted to hear the other side. On Wednesday the
priest and others attended, and it was discovered that
the mother was an abandoned woman, that she was
trying to teach her child to steal, but, falling ill, was
visited by a Roman Catholic priest, to whom she
.was known. He—thinking her to be dying—
administered the sacraments to her, and by her request
took charge of the child. The mother recovered, at
first thanked the priest, but afterwards wanted her
child again,
having returned to her old mode of life.
The child was refused her. Hence the proceed-
ings before the magistrate. The Marquis himself
declared that he thought the priest did right.

THE TONIC SOL-FA METHOD OF TEACHING SINGING.

Of all the various methods of teaching singing in
public schools none has become more popular than the
Tonic Sol-fa. Whatever may be said about its smell-
?the accuracy, it has undoubtedly. recommended
itself to teachers, and in the largest proportion
of
British schools, where any attempt to teach
children to read music is made, the system is
its members of the
progress. Especial) ydo the
used. Naturally enough, those who promote
it are anxious that every facility should be allowed
for
Tonic Sol-Fa College wish the committee of the
Council on Education to recognise their system.
Under the 54th article of the Revised Educational
Code teachers are allowed a considerable addition to
their incomes for teaching to read music from notes.
But " notes " here are taken to mean according to
the established notations. A deputation has waited
on Mr. Forster urging that this should be altered,
that the Tonic Sol-Fa system being found to answer
admirably in schools should be recognised by the
Council. Mr. Forster, though not musical himself,
said he had availed himself of opportunities of test-
ing the result of teaching on the Tonic Sol-Fa
system,
and .he considered that the results were
grand, and shelved that the system was eminently
adapted for the teaching of music. He promised to
bring the views of the deputation under the nothe of
Earl do Grey, and to recommend strongly that the
desired change should be made in the Revised Code.

Our Florence correspondent states that several non-

valent in the army. A serious outbreak is not appre-
hended, but it is well known that the Republican leaders
are actively working, and waiting their opportunity.

THE SPANISH CROWN.

The Madrid correspondent of the Independance Belge
states that previous to making inquiry whether Dom
Fernando would accept the crown, the Spanish Ministers
sought to learn the opinion of the National Chamber.
Each Minister assembled twenty or thirty deputies at his
residence and laid the situation before them. The con-
dition of Spain necessitated an immedite solution of the
candidature problem : would they vote for Dom Fernando'
The canvass, it seems, was not remarkably successful.
In spite of this personal application, seconded by the
efforts of Senor Olozaga, no more than 111 members of the
Cortes were found favourable to the Portuguese Prince.
Eight only pronounced for Espartero. Add to these
the fifty-seven Republicans, and the total is 176, which
leaves 154 who support the Duke of Montpansier's claims.
It is thought that the Cuban deputies will also be parti-
sans of the Duke. The Spectator stigmatises the new Con-
stitution as a fraud. it is contrived for the express pur-
pose of giving the King. of Spain a position similar to the
King of Prussia.

AN UNTOWARD ACCIDENT.

An amusing incident is told of the voyage of the Prince
and the Princess of Wales from Port Said. The journey
was mad in the Khedive's yacht Mohrussa. We are told
that when the royal party come off in a state barge to
their floating palace, they found everything in order—
yards manned, guards of honour of marines on deck, the
officers headed by Cassim Pasha, the Vice-Admiral in
command of the yacht, with Jackson Bey, the English
engineer, drawn up on the gangways, a gorgeous valetaille,
a dinner spread in a saloon resplendent with silver lamps
(one of the party took the trouble to count, and reckoned
220 wax candles), damask walls, and ormolu and papier
inachd panels, gilt furniture, flowers, silver columns and
stanchions, and so on. It was intended that the Khe-
dive's yacht, attended by the Pysche, should put out to
sea at once, but her departure was delayed for more than
an hour by fouling the chain of a mooring. At a little
before 7.40 p.m. the great vessel began to steam down
between the jetties out to sea, and all went well till she
arrived at the end of the breakwater, when she stopped
for a moment to land the pilot. The royal party were
seated at dinner, the band of the yacht was playing out-
side, servants were handing round chefs a'a'arres of Euro-
pean cookery, when the sea suddenly took it into its head
to give a gentle tilt and to raise the counter of the
Muhl-us:la a little as she slowed her engines.
No. 1 sent a thrall through the glasses, and set them
quivering slightly. No. 2, from the other side of the
ship, caused one or two to skip towards the side of
the table, and numerous bottles placed on the carpet
against the gilt bulkcnd to rattle discordantly. No, 3_
W hish ! There was a thundering crash ! A pile of most
exquisite SiNres plates on a scagliola side-table flew with
a prolonged grating clatter on the floor, and were dashed
to atoms ; decanters of the most costly cut glass, cande-
labra, and glasses leaped off the dinner table, and there
arose from the company that hard-to-be-described ejacu-
lation well known to those who go down to the sea in
ships when a rude wave breaks in on society for the first
time as each grasped at some volatile object or at the
table ; but the mischief was done in a minute, and the
Mohrussa rolled nothing more into wreck and ruin,
though she could not resist the force of the seas during
the night.

women and girls. It was compelled to refuse 524 appli-
cants, whose histories are recorded in the applicant's book.

AIR. LOWE'S BUDGET SPEECHd

The London correspondent of the Manchester Agri
says that, as a speech, Mr. Lowe's budget effusion was the
worst ho has ever delivered. It was indescribably roil°
and spoilt, says the writer, "By the mist:11011
ascribable to his defective sight. The reports ill
the morning papers give no idea of the extent to
which the details of his varied calculations were CO
rooted as ho went along by the interjaculationa of bit
attentive audience. I can liken it to nothing but the reading,
of an uncommonly bad proof, which entails the necessity of
endless emendations as you go on. There is something
ineffably painful and pitiable in the spectacle of an effort
marred by the consequences of mere physical impoterici'
People go about saying that the ideas of the plan Wer6,
supplied by Mr. Gladstone ; and some words that fell
from Mr. Lowe in the course of his peroration seem to Wet'
rant the belief that ho did not until very late in the day see
Low anything effective or popular could be done. We 011
probably not soon, if we ever, know the real history of the
plan. The question is of more interest in a party sense than in
a national one. If the Budget which already may (be
treated as a great success, should really be the result of
Mr. Lowe's individual powers of invention, there would el
once be established a third alternative for the office of
Financo Minister. Whereas, since tho death of Sir George
Cornowall Lewis there were but two, one eminent Whig,
and one eminent Tory. In any case the prestige of finsw
cial ability now acquired by Mr. Lowe must be regarded
as a new quantity in the game of power, and ho is at
the man to suffer the fact to be forgotten. So little wne
the eventful and striking character of the present Budget
anticipated, that, contrary to all precedent on occasions of
the kind, many scats in the Speaker's gallery wore unclaimed
during the evening; and there was not the slightest syMr
torn of excitement in the lobby and the avenues leading to
the house, beyond that which takes place whenever an
portant dobato is anticipated."
London, England, 1869-04-12

POLLING PLACES.

A correspondent of the Morning Post hopes that
the committee now sitting to inquire into the mode
of conducting elections will direct its attention to
the need which exists for a greater number of
polling places. Voters in boroughs have always a
polling place within easy reach, while voters
in rural districts have perhaps six or eight
miles to travel. The carrying of voters is prohibited
in boroughs, and ought not to be allowed in counties.
This reformer thinks that every parish should have a
polling place, and he suggests that the largest school-
room might be used for the day. The carrying of
voters exposes all parties to suspicion, and the con-
gregation of men from different localities at one
place leads to riot and disorder. Those who live at
a great distance, and who now come by rail, might
have voting papers sent to them. By these means
some of the evils of the present system might be
modified, if not altogether removed.

THE CONSERVATIVE MEETING.

There is much speculation about the Conservative
meeting which takes place to-day at Lord Lons-
dale's. The John Bull says that many of the party are
in favour of opposing the Irish Church Dill clause by
clause ; but probably the most serious division will
be on the glebe lands. Another account states that
Mr. Disraeli and other members of the party
have taken up the line laid down by
Sir Roundell Palmer, and that these enter-
tain the faint hope that with the help of some of
the Liberals "they may embarrass the progress of
the measure through committee, although they
cannot hope to strike seriously at Mr. Gladstone.
Mr. Hardy has been definitely sounded as to taking
the leadership of the No Surrender ' faction in the
event of a rupture, but he has maintained a discreet
silence as to his future intentions." •

ANOTHER STRIKE IN THE COTTON TRADE.

The depression in the cotton trade is bearing most
disastrous fruit. Not only are masters being put
into straits, but the operatives, by striking, are
impoverishing themselves. The strike is spreading
beyond Preston. The masters of Chorley and
the surrounding neighbourhood have given notice
of a reduction of from 21 to 20 per cent. on
different kinds of work, and the men have determined
to resist. The masters were prevailed upon to so
modify their original announcement as to make it a
5 per cent. reduction all round, but the men will
agree only to 21. Nearly 1,000 people are likely to
be thrown out of employment.

THAMES.

PARLOUR 11013BERTES.—Frederic Rising, Johann Krue-
ter, and George Fatt, three Germans, for whom an inter-
preter named Wintgen, was provided, were charged with
stealing furniture and other effects from the parlours of
houses in Whitechapel and Mile-end Old-town.
During the last few weeks several parlours have been
entered and stripped of a great part of their furniture in the
day time. Among others the front parlour of gr. Matthew
Thompson, bricklayer, of 8, Lion-square, Mile-end. On
the 30th of last month he locked up his parlours as usual
and went out. In his absence his parlour window was
opened, and two new mahogany chairs, worth 325., and
an artificial vase flower in a glass case were stolen. Seve-
ral things in the parlour were broken. The parlour win-
dow looking into the street was open whe❑ Thompson re-
turned. A police-constable named Sheppard, 42 H,
subsequently found the prosecutor's chairs on the
premises of Fatt, who keeps a common lodging-
house in a narrow court, called Plough-street, White-
chapel. Sheppard found another stolen chair in Fatt's
house. It had been stolen from the parlour of the dwell-
ing of Samuel Green, No. 5, Penton-street, Whitechapel.
it was stolen about seven o'clock in the evening of
the 23d of March. It was proved that Rising and
Krueter were concerned in both robberies. When
Rising was arrested he said he was an upholsterer, and
made all the chairs. Three more chairs, stolen from an-
other parlour, were traced to Fatt's house. He said he
received them all from Rising and Krueter. Sheppard said
there would be other cases against the prisoners, and they
were remanded until Wednesday.
