THE UNDER-SECDETARY FOR IRELAND.

A good deal of speculation exists as to who will
succeed Sir Edward Wetherall. Mr. Maguire is
thought to be the most likely man. He certainly
hasclaims upon the Government which it is surprising
have not been recognised already. It was through
him primarily that Mr. Gladstone regained office;
it was through his advice to the mad Mayor that
the Government was extricated from an
awkward predicament. Sir John Gray also
is mentioned, but he is supposed by many persons
to be too much the mouthpiece of Cardinal Cullen
to be suitable for this very important post. Should
either of these gentlemen be chosen, a vacancy in
the House of Commons will be caused. The Conser-
vative papers say, " It is rumoured that a Mr. Burke,
intimately connected with Cardinal Cullen, is to
succeed Colonel Wetherall at the Castle, Dublin."
They would like the appointment well, because it
would give them such a famous opportunity of
indulging ip the rhetoric of indignation.

CLOSE OF THE PRESTON STRIKE

The following report has been issued by the Preston
executive of the power-loom weavers, &c., to their fellow-
' opeptives in Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire, and Derby-
shire :—" Friends and Fellow-Operatives,—ln placing
before you this our seventh report, we beg to tender lur
warmest thanks to the Preston Trade Council, Darwen,
Chor'ey, I'adiham, Harwood, and other Fast Lancashire
diArlcts, for the noble and philanthropic mariner in which
they have tendered their support, notwithstanding the
distress so prevalent in their own homes. In consequence
of the cowardice of Blackburn; we can hold out no hopes
of Lringing this struggle to a successful issue, and we feel
it to be cur duty to advise the operatives of Preston to try
and make some amicable agreement with the employers;
and we hope that all districts will do all they possibly can
to raise subscriptions in their respective mills this week
in order that we may be able to pay the amount due to
our treasurer, and a little for the hundi ees of c pzratives
who will be denied employment in consequence of having
taken an active part in attending shop meetings and col-
lecting at the mill gates. And it is to Preston and the
East Lancashire districts, coupled with the Trade Council,
we have to depend on in meeting the deficiency we have
c.)ntracted in relieving, as far as possible, suffering humanity
in Preston, caused by the cperatives defending right against
might ; for not only has Blackburn withheld its support,
but rumour says that several hundred Blackburn operatives
have been working in Preston on the masters' terms—not
only has Blackburn neglected Preston, but has by its
apathy, in our opinion, caused the reduction to take place
in the East Lancashire districts. 'We hope the districts
will not be led away by the conduct of Blackburn, but
chew by your subscriptions on Saturday next that you
will still sympathise with those operatives who are com-
pelled to walk the streets in unwilling idleness, in conse-
quence of standing up for labour's rights—a fair day's
wage for a fair day's work. In conclusion, we hope each
district will do its duty this week. Hav'ng dine so, you
will be able to say, We have done all that lies in our
power, in this our day and generation, to rescue Labour
from the iron grasp of Capital.'"

Extracts from the Report of the Directors, presented at
the Annual General Meeting held on the 27th November,
1868 :

1. The snm of £112,345 was proposed for Assurance, of
which £307,395 was completed at Premiums pro-
ducing £10,067 per Annum.
2. The amount paid under Claims by death was .£100,853,
being the smallest since 1860, whilst the expenses of
management and all other outgoings were even less
than for many years past.
3. On the other hand, the Income was raised to £219,769,
notwithstanding that its increase was retarded by
abatements of premium which did not take effect in

the previous year, and by the cessation of interest on
the large sum paid as Bonus in 1867.
2. The Surplus income was very considerable. It
amounted to £93,152, a sum exceeding by more than

£B,OOO any previous Surplus during the forty-four
years of the Society's existence.
5. The Accumulated Fund was thereby increased to
£1,598,906.

The following are among the distinctive features of tho

ouineLy .
CREDIT SYSTEM.--On any Policy for the Iv'. ole of
Life, where the age does not exceed 60, one-half of the
Annual Premiums during the past five years may remain
on credit.

ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES may be effected,
without Profits, by which the Sum Assured becomes pay-
able on the attainment of a specified age, or at death,
whichever event shall first happen.
INVALID LIVES may be assured at rates proportioned
to the increased risk.

PROMPT SETTLEMENT OF CLAIMS.—Claims paid
thirty days after proof of death.
Tables of Rates and Forms of Proposal can be obtained
of any of the Society's Agents, or of

HAMMERSMITH BRIDGE.

Viscount BURY asked whether the Secretary for the
Hothe Department had taken any steps with a view of as-
certaining the condition of Hammersmith Bridge.

Mr. BRUCE said he had had an exatu.nation as to the
condition of the bridge, and the repo, t hu had received
was to tha effect that although the bridge in, the Hist
instance was not a very strong erection, yet it appeared to
be as strong as it ever had been, and therefore ho had not
thought it proper to prohibit its use on the occasion of the
great boat race to-morrow. Notices would be affixed and
police constables posted to confine the pedestrians entirely
to the footway, and thus the;carriage way would be left
open for vehicles. There doubtless wou:d be a very largo
attendance of the public, but he believed that, with the re-
gulations th,t were to be carried out, the bridge would be
quite able to bear all those who inigta go upon it to-

fewer than eleven seats vacant, viz., one each at
Norwich, Dublin, Sligo, Cashel, and Dumfriesshire.,
and two each for Bridgwater, Beverley, and Here-

OBITUARY,

A well-known politician has died within • the last
icw days, Sir William Clay, Bart. Ile was formeily
a merchant and shipowner. In 1832 he entered
Parliament as men.ber for the newly-formed borough
of the Tower Hamlets, having for his colleague Dr.
Lushington. In 1835 the same two members were
returned, the Conservative candidate polling only
about one-sigh of Sir William's votes. In 1837
there was no contest ; in 1841 Sir William was first
of five candidates. In 1847 Mr. George Thompson
polled 6;268 votes, Sir William Clay 3,839, and
General Fox 2,622. In 1852 Mr. Thompson lost his
seat. Sir William was at the head of the poll, with
Mr. Butler only ten votes behind him, and Mr.
Ayrton and Mr. Newton a long way in the rear. In
1857 Mr. Ayrton astonished everybody by coming to
the head of the poll, with Mr. Butler for second, and
Sir William Clay found himself out of Parliament
for the first time in fifteen years. He did not sit
again. During his Parliamentary career he
was one of the foremost holders of ad-
vanced Radical views. He advocated exten-
sion of the suffrage, the Ballot, triennial Par-
liaments, and the abolition of church rates. He was
the author of the Small Tenements Rating Act,
which led to so much discussion during the debates
on Mr. Disraeli's Reform Bill. He was Secretary to
the Board of Control from 1889 to 1841, and went
out of office with Lord Melbourne. He published a
book on joint-stock banking, and other works on
kindred subjects. He was born in 1791, created a
baronet in 1841. He is succeeded by his eldest son,
William Dickason, who was born in 1828, and was
married in 1855 to the daughter cf Mr. Leo Schust:.!r.
Sir Charles Christopher Parker,who has just died at
77 years of age, is the grandson of Sir Peter Parker,
Admiral of the Fleet, the first baronet. lie saw a
good deal of service in the Mediterranean, and was
lieutenant of the Malta at the siege of Tarragona.
He has been on the reserved list since 1863. In
1835 he succeed his brother in the baronetcy, and
was the fifth baronet. He leaves no issue, and the
baronetcy of Parker of Bassingbourn, Essex, there-
fore, becomes extinct, havinv been in existence 87
years.

Sir Joseph 011iffe, whose death has just occurred,
was well known to English 11 sidents in Paris. .Ile
was the son of Mr. Joseph 011iffe, of Cork, and was
born in 1808. He was a Fellow of the loyal College
of Physicians, physician to the English Embassy at
Paris, and an officer of the Legion of Honour. He
was knighted in 1853. He married the daughter of
the late Alderman Cubitt. He died at Brighton.
whither he had cone for chan,c of air.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1869.

If only for the good humour of the thing, we
ought to have the Ballot. It seems, somehow, to
have an inexhaustible power of exhilaration. Its ap-
parition, annually, before the House of Commons, is
very much like the appearance of a first-rate low
comedian before the footlights. The House no sooner
becomes conscious of the "presence," than there is
—incontinently—a burst of laughter. No matter
what the garb assumed for the occasion by the old
joker, or the old joke (which you :please) the laugh
comes readily enough, in recognition of it or of him.
There is no disguising it. 'Hitherto there has, for a
considerable number of years past, been uo possibility
of mistaking the droll identity—coming before us as it
has done in no "questionable shape," but with
evidence in the very manner of its coming that
responsive shouts of laughter were really looked for.
And it has been, thus, simply because the member for
Bristol has appeared, year by year, as its advocate,
with an aspect of jocularity so unmistakeable that it
has been, as one may say, quite LISTONIAN. He has
come before us sessionally heretofore as a sort of Pc -
Mica' PAUL Pity, with a " Hope I don't intrude !" so
manifest in 1):s very manner that one has almost
seemed to hear the familiar words aril actually to see,
upon the veteran come,lian, the hessian boots, and the
baggy nankeen breeches, and the verdant cut-away
coat, and the hat with-curly brims turnea up with
green, and the big umbrella—the umbrella being hip
annual motion on the adlot.

Just now, however, the matter would seem to be past
a joke—now, when Cabinet Ministers are becoming
converts to secret voting, when the Home Secretary
openly avows his conversion to it, and when he and
his colleagues evidence their readiness to commit the

PENSIONS TO MINISIERS.

Yesterday morning the text of a bill was published
having for its object the amendment of the law which
enables her Majesty to grant pensions to persons who have
held, under the Crown, certain high civil offices, hence-
forth to be designated " political offices," and which are
usually held by members of the House of Lords or the
House of Commons. For the purposes of this measure
such offices are to be divided into three classes, the first
containing the office of First Lord of the Admiralty, and
all other political offices remunerated with a yearly salary
of not less than £5,000 ; the second those for which the
salary is less than £5,000, and not less than £2,000 ; and
the third, those for which thesalary is not less than £2,000 and
more than £l,OOO. In the first class the pension,
which is not to exceed.£2,ooo a year, will be paid in respect
of a service of not less than four years or its equivalent in
an office of the first class. The second class pension is
not to exceed £1,200 and the third, £BOO a year, the
term qualifying the recipients in both cases being not less
than five years' service. The mode of calculating
the term of service is prescribed as follows :—Two years'
service in any office of the third class shall count as one
year's service in an office of the second class, and two
years in the second shall count as one year in the first ;
but no person shall be entitled to a first class pension who
has not actually served two years in the first class, nor to
a second class pension unless he has actually served
three years in that class. The service may be continuous
or at different times and in different offices of these classes,
but no pension under the Act shall be granted in any class
while four pensions of that class are subsisting. It is also
provided that no person receiving a pension under this
Act shall be entitled to hold any superannuation allow-
ance granted under any other Act, or any compensation or
allowance in respect of offices abolished or regulated under
any public Act of Parliament. The bill is endorsed by
Mr. Dodson, Mr. Gladstone, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed eases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying glow u for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all

If " one black sheep infects the flock," one white

action, and within a month from the assembling of
Parliament they have passed through committee a
measure of such first-class importance as the
Habitual Criminals Bill. They sat till nearly ten
o'clock to accomplish this. They are now about to
make arrangements with the Commons for doing still
more work, and a committee of both Houses has
been appointed with this object in view. Lord
Russell, however, is not satisfied, and means to try
his hand at life •peerages.

tho natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colonr or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

EXTRAORDINARY ESC_4I3E OF THE EARL
OF BANTRY'S .DAUGHTERS.

_~___

The other day three ladies, the daughters of the Earl of
Bantry, had a singularly narrow escape from fearful in-
jury, if not from death. They had driven out on a side-
car, from 31nel-corn Castle, the vehicle being drawn by
a young and spirited horse, driven by the family coach-
man. When crossing the bridge to the east of the
town, near Mr. Harding's mill, the horse became restive
and, swerving violently, attempted to leap the parapet.
This ho would inevitably have done and borne his
burthens with him but for the skill and firmness
with which the coachman held him in. As it was,
he half accomplished his object, end lay balanced on the
parapet, his fore legs dangling over the river. In this
position the horse remained until some persons, who had
witnessed the occurrence from the mill, hastened to the
spot, and by cutting the traces, released the animal from
the car and his dangerous position at once. The ladies
were, of course, very much terrified. Had the horse
cleared the parapet of the bridge the vehicle and its oc-
cupants would iu all probability Lave followed, and the
height front the bed of the t iv,r (very Ehallow at that part)
being considerable, the fall would, almost to a certainty,
have involved destruction to all or some of the party.

ACCIEEXT TO THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.

• The Lord Chief Justice of England has, we regret to
announce, met with an accident, though it is hoped not a
very serious one. It appears from inquiries that were
made that his lordship was riding from the Hayward's
Heath Station, on Monday afternoon, accompanied by his
marshal, across the Downs to Lewes, and as they were
crossing Lewes racecourse, across a portion of which
chains are fixed to keep off trespassers from the course,
the horse the Chief Justice was riding stumbled at the
chain and threw him. He was unable to remount,
but did not consider that he was much injured,
and he was able to walk to the judge's lodgings at Lewes,
where a medical man was sent for, who expressed an
opinion that the learned judge had received more injury
than he imagined, and he advised him at all events not to
leave the house for a day or two. The commission was
consequently opened by Baron Bramwell, and business
was proceeded with yesterday morning, Mr. Hawkins,
Q.C., presiding in the Crown Court, and Baron Bramwell
on the Civil side. There are twenty-four prisoners for
tried in the Crown Court, and ten causes are entered on
the Civil side, six of which are marked to be tried by
•
special juries.

INGRATITUDE.—Ann Conner, a respectable-looking
woman, was charged with stealing 25., the monies of Mr.
S. S. Danwiks, cowkeeper, Fulham-road.
This morning the prisoner went into the shop of the
pro-ecutor, and, in the absence of the shopwoman, stole a
2s. piece. She was followed, and admitted the theft, giving
the money up. The prosecutor, it appeared had been at
different times very kind to the prisoner, giving her pecu-
niary relief.
Mr. Mansfield, after reprimanding the prisoner for
her ungrateful conduct, sentenced her to one month's
hard labour.

ItOWNER's QtrEST LAW.

- -
A book detailing some of the more remarkable
incidents connected with coroners' inquests would
make very pleasant reading if one
could get over the
grimness of the humour. A singular story of a
jury comes from the West Riding of Yorkshire.
They were called to inquire into the death of a man
named Never. It appeared
that he was riding on
the' shafts of a waggon, and driving it on the high-
v,-ay, the wheels of the cart came in contact with
some large stones on the road, and the man was
jcead from his teat and fell under the wheels, and
was killed. It appears that the stones were placed
on the roar by a man named Taylor, under the
direction of the road surveyors, to prevent the road
from being worn out. The jury, in the first instance,
found that the man's death " had been caused as
stated,", and recommended the surveyors to mercy.
The coroner said that he could not accept such a
recommendation, but the jury must find whether the
deceased came by his death through not using due
caution, or whether through the conduct of the sur-
veyors. The foreman of the jury proposed to decide
this point at once, but the coroner told him he must
consult his colleagues, and the jury, having retired
again, brought in a verdict of accidental death,
caused by the carelessness of the deceased. Then a
juror took upon limsclf to state that they did not
want to get- the man Taylor into trouble, or they
would else have brought iu manslaughter. - *4—

PENSIONS TO MINISIERS.

Yesterday morning. the text of a bill was published
having for its object the amendment of the law which
enables her Majesty to grant pensions to persons who have
held, under the Crown, certain high civil offices, hence-
forth to be designated "political offices," and which are
usually held by members of the House of Lords or the
House of Commons. For the purposes of this measure
such offices are to be divided into three classes, the first
containing the office of First Lord of the Admiralty, and
all other political offices remunerated with a yearly salary
of not less than £a,000; the second those for which the
salary is less than £5,000, and not less than £2,000; and
the third, those for which the salary isnot less than .£2,000 and
more than £l,OOO. In the first class the pension,
which is not to exceed.£2,ooo a year, will be paid in respect
of a service of not less than four years or its equivalent in
an office of the first class. The second class pension is
not to exceed £1,200 and the third, £BOO a year, the
term qualifying the recipients in both cases being not less
than five years' service. The mode of calculating
the term of service is prescribed as follows :—Two years'
service in any office of the third class shall count as one
year's service in an office of the second cla'ss, and two
years in the second shall count as one year in the first ;
but no person shall be entitled to a first class pension who
has not actually served two years in the first class, nor to
a second class pension unless he has actually served
three years in that class. The service may be continuous
or at different times and in different offices of these classes,
but no pension under the Act shall be granted in any class
while four pensions of that class are subsisting. It is also
provided that no person receiving a pension under this
Act shall be entitled to hold any superannuation allow-
ance granted under any other Act, or any compensation or
allowance in respect of offices abolished or regulated under
any public Act of Parliament. The bill is endorsed by
Mr. Dodson, Mr. Gladstone, and the Chancellor of the
Exchequer.

A TALE FOIL THE MARINES.

A correspondent of the .RGcl says that twenty
years ago a lady he knows was residing in Austria,
in a house belonging to some nuns. She paid the
rent regularly to a Jesuit priest, who, supposing her
to be a Roman Catholic, dilated on the great work
that was going on at Oxford,! and said that some of
the Jesuits had got into the university, and
that the leading man there was a Jesuit. The
lady asked his name, and was told it was Pusey,
and that her informant and the doctor were
educated together at the same college in Rome.
" Some days after the Jesuit asked her where she
went to mass. as he_ had never observed her. She
