THIEVES ON BOARD SHlP.—Robert Neale, aged 41
years, a ship-keeper, and John Georgeson„ a seaman,
were brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing 16
yards of canvas and some new twine, the property of
the owners of the ship William Allen, lying off the patent
ship Limehouse.

A police constable named Robert Newstead, 41 K, met
the prisoners, each carrying a bag. That in the possession
of Neale contained a few rags of no value, the one Geor-
geson was carrying contained 16 yards of new canvas and
a ball of new twine. Georgeson said that Neale gave him
the canvas and twine to carry, which Neale admitted to be
true, and said he was going to take the rags up to a ma-
rine storeshop and sell them to obtain a drop of beer.
Captain James Wallace, the master of the ship William
Allen, said there were 20 yards of canvas, not 16 as stated
by the police-constable, in the bag carried by Georgson,
and it was worth 14d. per yard. He valued the twine at
ls. 6d. The ship's keeper, Neale, had no right whatever
to take away anything out of the ship.
Neale pleaded guilty, and the magistrate, after remark-
ing that the offence was really a very serious one, and
that the facility offered by a marine-store shop, as it was
falsely called, was no doubt the cause of the theft, sen-
tenced Neale to bur months' imprisonment and hard
labour.

George said he was guilty of carrying the bag contain-
ing the canvas and twice for Neale.

Mr. Benson said that was not a plea of guilty of steal-
ing, and the prisoner had a perfect right to refuse to plead
it if he thought proper. He committed Georgeson for trial.

SIR HENRY BuLwEn's SPEECH LAST EVENING—
in the house of Commms," on Mr. Leathatn's
motion about the Ballot--is thus described by the
Parliamentary summarist of the Daily Telegraph,
who says that —" Acting on the special stimulus
given by the noble lord [meaning Lord Claude
Hamilton] twenty members started up, from whom
at once the house selected Sir Bulwer, who, speak-
ing with a clear, but not powerful voice, with
a certain crispness of elocution, as a friend of the
ballot, pointed out that he wai placed in a difficulty
by the motion which involved an instruction to the
committee, and preferred a direct resolution in
favour of vote by ballot ; and on this suggestion
went on to deliver an argument, of great lucidity
and power, on the side of that mode of voting,
which was none the less effective because the speech
was brief."

CHANCERY DELAYS.

---
Another complaint has been made on the almost
hopeless subject of Chancery delays and expenses,
The victim• states that it has taken Min two years and
a half, and has cost him £3OO, to get out of Chancery
£BOO paid in by a defaulting trustee. In the suit
in which the payment was made the accounts
were waived, and the trustee ordered to pay
all costs, yet the plaintiff's solicitor tells him that he
has got very easily out of Chancery. He has alsc
registered some freehold building land, under the
Land Transfer Act of 1862 ; and now finds that
should a dispute arise the question may be carried
to the higher Courts of Chancery. The proceedinb
of the registry should, in the opinion of this gentleman.
be much simplified, and he hopes that Lord Romilly,
as chairman of the Land Transfer Commission, will
effect the same good work in England as he hat
done in Ireland, and establish a land court altogether
separate from the Court of Chancery.

MR. GLADSTONE ON THE SUNDAY
QUESTION.

Mr. Gladstone was on Tuesday called upon to
give his opinion on the Sunday question. Two
deputations waited upon him, the one from the
Lord's-day Rest Association and the other from the Sun-
flay League. The latter was a very numerous body. It
was composed of upwards of 150 tradesmen, artisans, and
others, who waited upon him, at the invitation of the
National Sunday League, for the purpose of urging
Government to support Mr. Gregory's motion for the
opening of the British Museum, National Gallery. and
other institutions on Sunday afternoons.
In reply to arguments iu favour of the proposed altera-
tion, Mr. GLADSTONE reminded the deputation that this
matter would be governed, not so much by the opinion of
the Administration of the day as by the current of public
opinion. He considered the function of the Government
in a matter of this kind to be much more limited
than in many subjects in connection with which they
had special means for acquiring the necessary informa-
tion. The Government had not yet entered upon
the consideration of the-particular part which they should
take with respect to the proposal now made, but it would
be their duty to consider it carefully and anxiously. He
hid given his concurrence to two points from which, as
far as he could gather, those present were not likely
to dissent. The first was, that, looking at the matter
from a religious point of view, the religious observance
of the Sunday was the principal mainstay of religion
in this country ; ,and the second was, that abstinence from
work on that day was of vital consequence. In connec-
tion with another point urged by the other deputation,
there was the question, to what degree would the labouring
population take advantage of the evening openings which
they (the deputation) thought was a secondary matter.
The opinion of their opponents was that the evening
openings would be largely taken advantage of, and
they referred, as a case in point, to the South London
Working Men's Exhibition. Mr. Murphy, who he had
reason to believe, was well acquainted with some of the
wishes of the working classes, had told him that there was an
average evening attendance at the exhibition of from
12,000 to 15,000 workil g men and their families, each
paying 2d., and that on last Saturday evening there were
no less than 4,000 persons present. Another point was
with regard to the Sunday question itself, and in refe-
rence to that, the Sabbatarians alleged that the general
feeling of the working classes was opposed to the views
of the National Sunday League. Their opponents
had stated that the return of Mr. Chambers for Mary, le-
bone was influenced to a considerable extent by the
Sunday question, and that the fact that the majority of
his supporters were opposed to the opening of museums on
Sunday might be taken as an index of the feeling enter-
tained by the people whom he represented.

THE HOUSE OF LORDS.

If " one black sheep infects the flock," one white
one certainly communicates a virtuous influence to
his fellows. It is many years since the Lords sheaved
themselves so .set upon business as they are at the
present time. Lord Salisbury has aroused them into
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.
London, England, 1869-03-17

THE RACE.

Oxford had the first grip of the water, rowing
at 36 strokes to Cambridge's 37, but the latter in
half a dozen pulls had assumed the lead, of which
they were not dispossessed for the next two
miles. Their stroke quickened then to 39 as
they passed the Duke's Head, leading by
a quarter of a length, and at the Point they bad
increased it to a third of a length. Here the Oxo-
nians came up a little, but the steerer keeping too
close in shore as they approached Dung-wharf gave
the Cantabs an advantage, and they again re-
sumed a lead of nearly half a length. The
Oxonians came at them again, as they
neared Rose Bank, where the Cantabs'
.steerer held a fine course, and as he steered over to
get fairly through the centre arch of Hammersmith
the Oxonian gave way, so that the old half length
was still to the credit of the light blue representa-
tives. Here, however, "a change came o'er the spirit
of the scene," the Cambridge crew thus early began to
break up, and gradually, although Goldie rowed
with great determination, they were collared, till,
at Hammersmith-bridge, a few feet was all they
had to their credit. After this Mr. Goldie made
almost superhuman efforts to turn the tide
in his favour, but the Oxonians evidently
held their own, and though at the bottom
of Chiswick Eyot they were dead level, at the centre
the Oxonians came clean away, and at the top led
by a clear length. The race was over, Oxford got

further away, and won by several lengths.
20 minutes 20 seconds.

Time

In the early part of the race a tug ran across the
bows of a steamer, which upset the former, and
some of her passengers were immersed ; she
righted, however, shortly after, but not it is to be
feared without loss of life.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM.

The railway dispute stands where it did. The assura-,ace
of a quiet termination has not, so far, been clisturbekbut
the means by which it is to be brought about appear still
undefined. England, says the Etendard, has proilosed to
submit the dispute to disinterested mediation, and this
suggestion has been very favourably received by the Prin.
elan Cabinet. The idea of having recourse to the assist:,
ance of a mixed commission has since been substituted
for the arbitration, which was at first favoured.
"This change appears well-advised, since If it bercartied
out, the local nature of the dispute will be preserved,
whilst the intervention of another sovereign, or even of an
international commission, would tend to give the dispute
a more extended character. We are surprised that this
evident danger was not counted upon either by England
or Prussia." In reply to this sage reflection, it may bek
observed that though it is admirable as a general rtqa
to "preserve the local character" of all disputes, yet when
one of the parties is a very small State and the other a
very large one, the non-intervention of neighbours is apt
to end in the intimidation of the weaker disputant. The
arbitration of an independent sovereign is a sure,gearantee
of:impartiality, which even a Franco-Belgian commission
may not afford.

The Prase states that Prince Joseph of Chimay has been
chosen by the Belgian Cabinet to conduct the negotia.
tions between the two Governments. He left Brussels
for Paris last Thursday. Prince Joseph belongs to the
Catholic party, and was employed in the difficult negotia.
tions between the Emperor Napoleon and King Leopold
after the coup d'etat in 1851. He is one of the lesuling Bel.
gian diplomatists, and has been ambassador at several
European Courts.

Respecting this question, the Berlin Corrapondence,
Count Bismarck's organ, has the following:—' The offer
of mediation by the English Cabinet, after having been
denied, now appears to be confirmed. English interests
also suffer from the perpetual variation of the political
barometer of Europe, and we understand that the opinion
is gaining ground at London that it is necessary for
England to be much less indifferent to the general affair%
of the Continent.

The Independance Beige mentions a rumour that the
Queen of England has addressed an autograph letter to
the Emperor Napoleon relative to this railway complica-
tion. Why not determine the importance of the affair
at once by getting up a congress? The lease of a few
miles of railway seems a small matter, but great wars have
sprung out of less important causes.

EXTRADITION.

Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Tvrrens, said it was the
intention of the Government to introduce a bill with re-
spect to extradition.

BANDA PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. G. DUFF, in reply to Col. No...tb, said the money
had all been paid, and the papers relative to it he thought
had lost their interest, however, he would have great
plersure in affording ho hon. member every information
on the subject possible.
COMMUNICATION WITH AMERICA.

The Marquis of HARTINGTON said he had not
thought it necessary to make any provision on the suppo-
sition that the contract now under consideration,would
not be carridd out, as the contract with the North Gor-
man T.103-(1.3 would provide fur a weekly despatch of
letters to America.

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the heal, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases 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 down 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
druggists, in bottles, 13i-d., and three quantities in one,

IRISH BENEFICES.

Mr. Petrie writes to the Standard respecting the
109 Irish benefices, which, according to the census
returns of 1861, have a Church population of less
than forty. The writer states that he has made stria
inquiry, and finds that either the census returns must
be untrustworthy, or the Irish branch of the United
Church has made great progress. He gives the names
of all the benefices in question, with the Church popu-
lation according to the census, and according to his
own inquiries on the Ist of January last. The
second column shews a very decided augmentation of
the numbers, the great change being in Ballymas-
coulon, which has in the census only 31, and in the
last return 225. The Church population of the
greater portion, however, is still far below 100, in
some instances numbering less than 20. The figures
do not include the Protestant Dissenters, who, for
want of their own local ministers, usually attend the
parish church. The revenues of the benefices are
often very small, and the rectors act as curates in
neighbouring parishes of more importance. The
inquiries are not complete, and a further list will be
issued in a few days.

THE REV. JAMES KELLY AGAIN.
The notorious Mr. Kelly, of St. George's, Liver-
pool, has come forward again, -end in a long letter
falls foul of Mr. Gladstone, because, being the patron
of a small living in Liverpool, worth only £lOO a
year, he will not transfer his patronage to the
Crown, and thereby make it i'3oo. Tie then goes
on to denounce Mr. Gladstone as " a second Pilate:"
consigning Christ to the tender mercies of the
wicked Jews—the Irish Church taking the place of
the victim, and the Rationalists, R.omanists, and
Radicals of the persecutors.

ONDO.N, 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
(which you 'ipleasc,) the laugh
joker, or the old joke
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 no 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 u sessionally heretofore as a sort of Pc
PAUL PRY, with a " [lope I don', intrude so
manifest in his very manner that one has almost
seemed to hear the familiar words an I actualiy to see,
upon the veteran comedian, tho hessian boots, and the
baggy nankeen breeches, and the verdant cut-away
coat, and the hat with curly brims turned up with
green, and the big umbrella—the umbrela being bi,
annual motion on the Ballot.

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

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Great

that he was instructed that she was a Cambridge woman,
and her enthusiasm on behalf of her county had led her
into the difficulty she was in.
Mr. Tyrwhitt fined her 20s.

THE CONFEDERATE LOAN.

A curious feature marked the business of Friday on
the London Stock Exchange. There was a revived demand
for the Confederate Loan, which was quoted at £9los.
The id-a that some recognition of these bonds may be
given by the Anglo-American Commission has brought
about this renewed speculation. The chance would be
adequately paid for by a much smaller sum.

ASTOR HOUSE, NEW YORK, Jan. 7.

I have for some time been contemplating a letter
to yon, and as IL know STOar correspondent is now
having his holiday, I take on myself for this week
to supply his place. We have bad very severe and
inclement weather. During New Year's-day "it
snowed and blowe i" in a way very discouraging to
the visitors, and suggestive of much refreshment
wherever they did make good their entry. Since
then we have had fogs, and all manner of disagree-
able varieties.

The New York bar entertained Senator Casserly
last Saturday. The city has been unusually gay.
On Thursday, August Daley, the dramatist, mar-
ried a daughter of Mr. Duff, manager of the
Olympic, at the church of St. Xavier, and many
other marriages are on the lapis. Capt. James
Funck, once very popular in the passenger trade,
as for forty years he commanded a packet ship
between this port and Havre, died on Wednes-
day last, at his residence in East Twenty-seventh-
street. Mr. Grattan, assassinated at Louisville,
Kentucky, is the brother of John W. Grattan, a
well• known New York lawyer, who telegraphed a
reward of $5,000 for the arrest of the murderer.
William Wood 'committed suicide on Wednesday
by .hooting himself through the head. For several
days before his death he had been drinking to
excess, and he bad been annoyed at a vessel be-
ing robbed over which he had been placed as
night watchman. Brook and Orme, who con-
fes,ed the murder of Mr. Brodhead, pleading self-
defence, Lave been sentenced to death. A box, con-
taining $56,000 in United States bonds and other
securities, was stolen from the office of Rierwith
and Rocholl, in New York, on Saturday afternoon.
Four men were blown up on Sunday by the igni-
tion of the gunpowder used for removing the wreck
of the Scotland off Sandy Hook. They bad placed

place there was a wire connecting with the nub-

IRISH RAILWAYS.

Two correspondents of the Times express some
irritation at the tone of Lord Clanricarde's letter on
Irish railways. One of them, Mr. Lawson, reminds
the public that, according to Irish statistics, only
£12,000,000 of the whole amount expended on Irish
railways was raised in Ireland, the bulk of the
money spent coming from England. Moreover,
those lines which do pay have borrowed largely from
the English Government. In 1861 £2,000,000
remained unpaid, with £lO,OOO arrears of interest,
and yet at the same time Lord Naas, now Earl of
Mayo, obtained from the House of Commons the
sum of 1:4';00,000 to assist the Irish railway
companies. " A Railway Shareholder," taking
much the same view, a& s in which of
our colonies the British Government has subsidised
the railways. The Government has merely treated
Ireland as an integral part of the United kingdom,
allowing railways to be promoted there by private
enterprise, as in England. It is only bec use the
speculators in them have been unsuccessful that they
raise a cry for the purch-.se of railways by the state.
If this be justice to Ireland, argues the " Railway
Shareholder," a similar measure must, in justice to
England, be adopted in this country. Perhaps so ;
but then a good many persons are perfectly willing
to accept this reductio ad absurdum,as the Times con-
siders it.

FATHER IGNATIUS ON DISSENTERS.

Father Ignatius on monasticism was alarming.
Father Ignatius rebuking the sins of the City men
was edifying. Father Ignatius on Christian unity is
comforting. In his latter capacity we find that, after
all that has been said, the Rev. F. Lyne has not given
up the " traditions of his father; " for, though he
" practises" ritualism, and was thought to be of all
"Iligh " men one of the highest, he now comes forth
with preaching which the " broadest " would hardly
cavil at. The keynote of a lecture on Dissenters,
given a day or two back, was that everyone was
Christian who believed in the divinity of Our Lord.
All beyond that was matter of opinion ; on that doc-
trine High Church, Low Church, Wesleyan, Bap-
tists, Congregationalists could meet.

EARL RUSSELL AND DR. SANDWITH.

------- ---
A correspondence has taken place between Lord
Russell and Dr. Sandwith on the subject of a letter
witten by the latter gentleman in the Star. In
this Dr. Sandwith declared that " we acted, if reports
be true, a very scandalous part in aiding the Turks
against the Montenegrins in 1863.' Further
on he said that "Earl Russell had employed British
men-of-war to cruise in the Adriatic with orders
to seek any Garibaldian sympathisers who might
cross," Sze. The noble earl declares that he has
made inquiries at the Foreign Office, and has found
that no orders were given on the subject referred to
in 1663, but that in 1862 he heard it reported that a
Ciaribaldian expedition was likely to invade the
territories of 'turkey, Austria, or (Treece. nu viicrc-
fore caused instructions to be given that the Com-
nialier-in-Chief in the Mediterranean should send
any information of this kind to the authorities of
those countries which were in peril from the attack.
Later on in the same year he expressed an opinion
that if any of her Majesty's cruisers should fall in
with Garibaldi's squadron information should be
communicated to the British authorities according to
the direction in which that squadron was steering. To
this 1)r. Sandwith replies that he disclaims the
slightest intention of being personal in his attack,
but that he adheres to his opinion, which every Eng-
lishman has a right to publish, that" we " as a nation
have acted in a " scandalously" partial manner in
behalf of the Turks, - • ' '
