EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL.

Mr. DENMAN moved the second reading of this bill.
Mr. S. HILL moved as an amendment that the bill be
read a second time on that day six months.
Sir R. P. COLLIER thought that au unanswerable case
had been made out, and believed that the bill would have
a beneficial effect iu obtaining evidence of truth.

Sergeant Dowse, Mr Vernon Harcourt, and Dir. Amphett
supported the bill, and the amendment was negatived
without a division, and the bill was read a re;ond time.
HOSPITALS, ac., RATING EXEMPTION BILL.
Mr. WHEELHOUSE moved the second reading of this
bill.
Mr. GOSCIIEN opposed the amenchnent,oe the ground
that if the hospita s were to be exempted from rates they
would be asked to exempt schools, working men's insti-
tutor, ttc. Very many of the hospitals had considerable
estates, and if they were exempted the effect would be

serious.
lir. SW-ATER-BOOTIE agreed with the objections
raised by the right hon. gentleman (Dlr. Goseheu), ftn.l
referred to the ease of St. Thomas's Respite), Which WRP
very important and rich institution.
After a few observations from 'lift.. CAWLEY,
Sir M. BEACH expressed his di termination to opliasso,
he second reading of the bill, and spoke until a qusrter to
x, wen by the rules of the house, the debate was
postponed.
The house adjourned at 12 minutes to six.

CROSS-CUPPING IN THE ARMY.

-Some correspondents of the Telegraph continue
the discussion on the subject of cross-cupping in the
army. One of them declares that he has himself
performed the " barbarous operation " by order in
cases where it was not only unnecessary, but posi-
tively injurious. That this operation is done chiefly
as a mark is known to the men themselves, and some
objected to it strongly on that score. An excellent
suggestion is made by one writer, that a member of
Parliament should move for a return of the number of
soldiers discharged from the army during the Ltst live
years who had previously undergone the operation of
cross-cupping. It is useless asking questions on thesub-
j ect, as equivocation in replying is too often res-Jrted
to. "A Pensioner" proposes that Mr. Cardwell
should attend a pension office any pension day. and
improve his knowledge- by ocular demonstration.
Some details are given by one who was stationed in
Ireland many years ago. The damp atmosphere
affected his health, and the doctor subjected. him to
cross-cupping to cure him of his supposed partiality
for the hospital.

SHEBE ALI AT IT3IDALLA.

The Times correspondent has carefully studied the per-
sonage who is now playing such a conspicuous part in the
policy of British India. He believes that the countenance
of Shere Ali betrays signs of incipient insanity. But the
ruler of Affghanistan at present displays no small amount
of knowledge, and is by no means deficient in acuteness.
He was equal to a conversation on spherical geometry, and
was sagacious enough to see that the arms which the
Indian Government had given him were not equal to the
Snider& He expressed his delight with the "terrific"
dress of the Highlanders, but remarked on its indecency.
He has been charmed, like a true mountaineer, with the
bagpipes of the " Sketch " as he calls the Scotch, and con-
eiders them the finest of soldiers. But the Irish seem even
more to his taste, for, when told that that people are so
fond of fighting they will fight with each other when they
can get no other enemy, he shouted, "That is capital;
that is like my people ; that is after my own heart."

THE CASE OF MD. EMIUNDS.—In the action brougnt
by Mr. Leonard Edmunds against Mr. Greenwood, for
alleged libellous statements made in a report to the Com-
missioners of Patents, the Court of Common Pleas on
Tuesday made an order of reference, embodying the terms
upon which it was originally agreed that the mattershould
be disposed of by arbitration. Should any difference arise,
it is to be settled by one of her Majesty's judges.
RESCUE BY A Doo.—At Marylebone Police-court
Robert Andrews, Lamb's Conduit-street, was charged
with attempting to commit suicide. The groom of,
Captain Talbot said that he was out with the captain's
dog, and going along the bank he saw a man plunging
about in the water. He told the dog to fetch him out,
and it dived down and got hold of the prisoner's collar.
The dog pulled him up and brought him to the side, where
witness dragged him on shore. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked if
any cause had been assigned for the rash act, and was
informed that the prisoner had had a quarrel with his
parents, and thought he would commit suicide. Andrews
was remanded.

TILE SCOTTISH PEEILA(P.

That the House of Lords must soon- be reformed
is becoming ever-,,7 day more apparent. The exclu-
sisystem of the English peerage 'is
hardly hereditarydlylike to • survive many years. The hybrid
hereditary-repreientative plan . of the Irish and
Scotch peerages, , with its -anomaly-. of.. onesided
representation, can hardly hold its own much longer.
And if these blots are not speedily wiped out, the
larger one of whether. it is expedient that Men who
" spend their days in riot most uncouth" should because
of an accident of birth have the power of controlling
legislation be fully discussed. " II." who is evi-
dently an enthusiastic Scotchman, complains of another
anomaly. 't The Scottish nobility," he says, " are
now, probably, as a body, the oldest in respect to
title, and the greatest in . respect to wealth in the
country, yet do they not sit as peers of the
realm in it very invidious way? The Duke of
Buccleuch sits there as Earl of Doncaster; the Duke
of Argyll as Baron Sundridge, and others in a similar
way; their great historic names ignbred in Parliament
in favozi of English baronies (given them to secure
an entrance): fames such as the Earls of Morton,
of Moray, of Home, of Airlie, with which the whole
history of our land is illustrated, sit but by occa-
sional representation. Those whore deeds have
ennobled their country, so to speak, are not them-
selves counted noble, or have no 'permanent place
among our senators, while those who have
.lyat,
achieved a personal success in law, in commerce; or
political 'Service of a secondary order, are freely
:"adnaitted and perManently enrolled."

DISEASED SHEEP.

Mr. C. FOSTER, in reply to Mr. Corran, said it was true
that on the arrival of a cargo of sheep from Hamburgh the
custom-house officers found that some of the animals were
diseased, and they were at onee killed, and steps wore at
once taken to disinfect both the ship and the wharf. Only
a few, however, of the sheep comprising the cargo
were found in a diseased state, and a doubt
arose as to whether the disease was sheep-
pox, or another disease not of so fatal a character,
but it was thought that if any doubt existed it was
best to err on the side of precaution, so the sheep were
killed, although he (Mr. Forster) believed the disease Irge
not what it was supposed to be. With respect to another
cargo arriving from Antwerp, comprising 1,800 sheep,
only five were found to be diseased, and these five came
from a portion of the cargo, viz., 219 shipped
by one of the parties sending the animals to Lon-
don. The whole of that portion of the cargo
was, however, killed, and in another cargo coming
from Hamburgh only fuur out of 351 sheep were found to
be suffering from disease, yet all were killed. Lord,
Defrey had the whole of the circumstances fully consi
dered, and it was not thought necessary to re-enact the
order with respect to the slaughtering sheep on their ar-
rival from any foreign countries. The effect of re-enact-
ing the order would most materially affect the consumers
of mutton in this country, as a very large per tentage of
the mutton consumed was foreign. He thought it would
be a great hardship to the metropolis to re-enact the order,
the more so as it had been proved that sheep-pox could be
quickly and efficiently crushed out without the necessity
for such extreme measures as were required to stop the
cattle plague. With respect to the question as to whether
the Government were aware that sheep-pox prevailed ex'
tensively at Holstein, be bad to say that he had received
information from Antwerp that sheep-pox did not prevail
in Belgium; from Rotterdam information had been receivd
that the disease did not prevail either in South Holland or
Zealand; and from Hamburg it was stated that no case of
such disease had been reported in Holstein.

THE BISHOP OF SALISBURY.

The Rev. 11. P: Liddon writes to .the Times to
correct the statement of the Pall gall Gazette that
the Bishop of Salisbury has " broken down both in
mind and body." 'Mr. Liddon says that throughout
his long and painful illness the Bishop's mind has
been perfectly clear, although he has not been
allowed to attend to business. It is also untrue, so
far as Bishop Hamilton is concerned, that " persua-
sion- and remonstrance have been exhausted in a
fruitless effort to induce " the Bishop and three other
prelates " to resign in order that. efficient successors
may be appointed." No such' remonstrance from any
quarter has reached the Bishop or those about him.
Mr. Liddon adds :

"The simple fact is that the Bishop of Salisbury is a
man in the prime of life who has been struck down in the
midst of his work by a fatal illness. In resisting its
ravages his lordship's constitution has discovered a strength
and resources for which his mediCal advisers were unpre-
pared. More than three months ago it seemed as if the
struggle could only last a few days at ..most ; and if the
Bishop had not insisted upon continuing to work in his
diocese in the autumn of last year, when he ought to have
been in bed or at the seaside, it is, humanly speaking, at
least possible that his life Might have been spared for
many years to come."

The case of the Bishop of Salisbury has always,
except by the Pall Mall Gazette, been treated diffe-
rently from that of the other southern bishops—
Exeter, Winchester, and Chichester. It does not
follow that because a man has been struck down by
a severe illness that he ought to resign his post,
whatever it be. If there is hope of recovery within
a reasonable time, no one would ask him to resign
or blame him for not resigning. But what does Mr.
Liddon mean by a-"- fatal " illness ? If the case is
hopeless, surely the BiShop of Salisbury ought to be
included in the same list at his other incapable brethren.
The Morning Herald asserts that the Bishop is so
much better within the last few days that it
is hoped he will soon be able to resume
his clerical duties, but Mr. Liddon, who is
the Bishop's examining chaplain, ought to know.
What, too, about the Bishop of Carlisle, who seems
to be quite incapacitated for work ? Is this only tem-
porary, or is this northern diocese to be added to the
list of southern dioceses, which are without "respon-
sible episcopal government," whose people are in the
condition of sheep without a shepherd ?

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The speech made by Mr. Sumner in the Washington
Senate on thel3th against the ratification of the Alabama
treaty has been published. It does not contain anything
new on this dreary question ; but it is a sort of official
declaration that the chief grievance of the Americans
belongs to the class of grievances•termed "sentimental,"
and it is, moreover, a sort of official declaration
that at present a settlement of the dispute is not
to be hoped for. The material injury, Mr. Sumner
declared, was not the greatest obstacle to recon-
ciliation. England had done America a great
wrong, and yet had never acknowledged it. This is the
one great sonrco of contention between the two States.
Let England begin by confession and contrition, and all
will yet be will. "Such a generous expression would be
the beginning of a just settlement, and the best assurance
of that harmony between two great and kindred nations
which all must desire." Mr. Sumner regretted the
necessity for these strictures upon a Power with whom he
would wish to be on the best of terms. This, at all events,
serves to prove, if any proof were needed, how effectually
Mr. Reverdy Johnson has sold us. It is clear that if we
must begin by an acknowledgment of wrong, arbitration
is entirely useless. All that would remain would be to
assess the damages.

Mr. Sumner's speech occupied two hours in delivery.
The Senate was in Executive Session, but the injunction
of secrecy was removed by special order. Theone Senator
who voted in favour of the ratification was Mr. M'Creery,
a Democrat of Kentucky. Mr. Sumner estimated the
total loss for which England is answerable at twenty.,
five millions sterling.

THE REPRIEVE OF CHARLES WILTSHIRE.

Sir George Senkinson opens a letter to the Times
with the complaint that the forms of the House
prevented him from speaking in reply to Mr. Bruce
in the matter of the reprieve of Charles Wiltshire.
Seeing that the member for North Wilts has spoken
during his brief Parliamentary life more than older
members do in several sessions, it may be looked
upon as rather good than evil that an accident of
form should shut his mouth, even though he be
never so eloquent. But Sir George will
not be cheated out of an opportunity of
laying his opinions before the country. If his
name cannot be found under the head " House of
Commons," it shall be seen in the correspondence
column. We are, therefore, treated to a letter from
the hon. baronet. He charges Mr. Bruce with hav-
ing altogether avoided the most important part of
the question put to him, whether Wiltshire
endeavoured to murder his warder, and hints that
this circumstance ought to have prevented a
reprieve. "It may be right," he says, " that
women are never hung for the murder of
their children, but I doubt the wisdom of such an
' announcement being made in Parliament by the
Home Secretary. It may be right that juries
should convict pro forma and say' Guilty' in public,
but ' Not Guilty' privately. It may be right that
judges should sentence convicted murderers to.be
lung in the same way—with a private reservation;
and it may be right that, out of eleven mur-
derers so convicted and so sentenced, six should
be hung and five reprieved, some being
alleged to be innocent and some insane, though
not so found at the- trial, and on no subsequent
evidence that anyone has ever heard of. It may be
right that Sheward should be hung on his own sole
confession, unsupported, for a murder done, as he
says, eighteen years ago, and that this nice man, C.
Wiltshire, convicted of rape, a murder, and
attempted murder since, should not be hung. But
all this, if right, should not depend solely on the
private decision of any one man, be he Home Secre-
tary or anyone else, but should be decided by some
tr.banal, on some evidence which should be made
public, and which could bear the test of examina-
tion."

which is safely and certainly cured by a course of this
purifying soothing and tonic medicine without fear

LAW AND POLICE.

THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS.—In the action brought
by Mr. Leonard Edmunds against Mr. Greenwood, for
alleged libellous statements made in a report to the Com-
missioners of Patents, the Court of Common Pleas on
Tuesday made an order of reference, embodying the terms
upon which it was originally agreed that the mattershould
be disposed of by arbitration. Should any difference arise,
it is to be settled by one of her Majesty's judges.
RESCUE BY A DOG.—At Marylebone Police-court
Robert Andrews, Lamb's Conduit-street, was charged
with attempting to commit suicide. The groom of,
Captain Talbot said that he was out with the captain's
dog, and going along the bank he saw a man plunging
about in the water. He told the dog to fetch him out,
and it dived down and got hold of the prisoner's collar.
The dog pulled him up and brought him to the side, where
witness dragged him on shore. Mr. D'Eyncourt asked if
any cause had been assigned for the rash act, and was
informed that the prisoner had had a quarrel with his
parents, and thought he would commit suicide. Andrews
was remanded.

A RO.IIA2iCE .1-YD A TRAGEDY.

The Memphis Avalanche of the Sth inst. says : "At
some distance from Grand Gulf reside two respectable
families, those of Cushing and Andrews. Miss Andrews
was a lovely girl of 17, well accomplished, and of un-
usually fascinating manners. Mr. Cushing's son, a youth
of 20, had been attached to her from their early childhood,
and as he grew older his affection became an ardent
absorbing passion. A short time ago he made a formal
offer of hia hand, when, to his intense disappointment and
mortification, his offer was firmly though courteously
refused. He brooded over his ill-rewarded passion ane
became a prey to jealousy, and at length left the
neighbourhood, vowing madly that he would come back
and take his revenge. On Sunday last he returned, and
riding up to Mr. Andrews's house he begged to see Miss
Andrews at the doer without alighting. She came out,
when he suddenly produced a pistol, fired, shooting her
through the body, and she fell on her face and died
without a struggle. The murderer rode frantically away,
but Miss Andrews's brother, breathing fury toward the
murderer of his sister, sprang on a horse and followed.
He came up with Cushing as the latter was crossing a
creek and fired at him. Cushing jumped from his horse,
and took shelter in the bush. Andrews did the same.
A parley ensued, and the two yotmg men agreed to fight
according to the code—to leave the cover, fire, advance,
and fire, and again advance, firing until one of them should
fall. At the first fire Cushing received a mortal wound in
the left shoulder, but the men continued to near each
other and fire until their revolvers were empty. When
assistance arrived Gushing lay dead, with four bullets in
his body. Andrews had received three shots in his breast.
He was able to tell how the fight had taken place, when
be also expired."

BENJAMIN HIGGS AND THE GREAT

London, England, 1869-04-28

clearly' his scheme for the rerorm Oi ofZ 07-fincca, CY
military enlistment and service. His idea,' like Sir
Charles Trevelyan's, is that of a popular army, with
advantages to the soldier, a certain amount of free-
dom, and short service. But in giving, his
opinion of enlistment to the House of Lords, he
appears to have been misunderstood. His proposal is
to have the regular army and the militia brought as
far as possible into connection. He would have tha
same period and mode of enlistment in both, would
train the. soldier. apart from either, and then give.
him the choice of which he would serve in, the one
being a home army and the other intewled for
foreign service.

THE BOTAL VISIT TO THE CRIMEA.

Never before, perhaps, has any scene of conflict preserved
its distinctive features so long as the theatre of war
round Sebastopol. The bleached bones of some warrior
turned up by the plough, bullet marks on surrounding
objects, the rusty material of war lingering in obscure
nooks, are the only traces to be found on the scene of most
great battles. But the ruins round Sebastopol remain
almost as the Allies left them. On their arrival on the
10th, the Prince and the Princess of Wales found that time
had ?tine very little for Sebastopol. The town still pre-
serves the same shattered appearance. The marks of
projectiles are visible on every band. But a small portion
of the town has been restored, and that only in a patch-
work sort of way. The docks and fortifications are in the
same dismantled condition. The Redan, the Malakoff,
the long line of Russian redoubts and of British and
French trenches, crumbled by time and weather, are
untouched by the hand of man. The royal party remained
in the Crimea until Thursday. On Monday, the 12th,
they inspected the north side, and visited the Alma,
returning to Sebastopol by sea. On Tuesday they went
over the ruins on the south side, thence to the trenches,
next to the most melancholy relic of the contest, the
English cemeteries, and a ride down the slopes of Inker
mann to the Tchernaya completed the round. Balaclava
and the more distant places occupied the remaining
days.
