LAW AND POLICE.

A ScnooL DIFFICULTY.—A case was tried on Monday
in the Chanceiy Courts respecting the ownership of some
schools at Liverpool. They were established in two or
three houses by the incumbent, but a Mr. Lowe, the
honorary secretary, afterwards purchased the buildings.
In 1864 angry discussions arose between the school com-
mittee and their secretary, and Mr. Lowe was dismissed
from his office. Some months after he was called upon
to transfer the buildings to trustees for the benefit of the
schools, to which he gave no reply, but subsequently gave
the incumbent notice to quit. The Vice-Chancellor, on
referring to Mr. Lowe's communications with the Privy
Council, decided that he was owner as trustee.
AN OVEREND AND GURNEY CASE.—Mr. Maxted, a
gentleman living at Hull, has brought an action in the
Court of Exchequer to recover the sum of £6OO, the
amount of two calls in respect of thirty shares in Overend,
Gurney, and Co. The defendant was a member of the
London Stock Excliane, and the case turned upon the
question whether the name which he had given in as the
ultimate purchaser of the shares the plaintiff disposed of
at the time the firm stopped payment was the valid one.
Some complicated transactions in the share market were
detailed, and finally their lordships returned a verdict for
the plaintiff.

missioner Delano for the arrest of the assassinot
which Mayor Fox of Philadelphia supplemented
with another thousand. As Brooks was still alive,
his ante-mortem declaration was taken, and several
persons arrested thereon, Keenan, the proprietor of
the store, being one. The following was the evi-
dence elicited :—John Stockton, liquor dealer, was
heard, three weeks ago, to say that he knew when
and where Brooks would be shot. Thomas Aiken,
clitectly after the shooting affair, left his revolvers
directed to Stockton, in the store near by Keenan's/
where Brooks was shot, and be was heard to say lie
was glad Brooks had been shot. Robert Hamilton, of
notoriously bad character in the city, was partially
identified as the man who drove the assassins away
in the cab, and he was positively identified as
having been in that vicinity with a cab shortly be-
fore the shooting. It was also proved that be had
shaved off his moustache the previous morning..
This case excites a lively interest, as Brooks, wild°
in the exercise of his duty as a Revenue officer, was
murdered at mid-day, in the midst of a great and
orderly city, the assassins escaping.

seem ; tne large picitings twitted- irom -*. promotion
money," the sale of concessions, &c., having latterly
been summarily terminated, it is now found that
wrecking is the next best path to profits. Our contem-
porary points out that where an office can be
proved to be absolutely rotten, it is an act of
charity to expose its hollowness ; but it is well that
public opinion should b 3 aroused in condemnation of
vexatious proceedings, instigated for merely selfish
motives for winding up.

The directors of the-company have issued an adver-
tisement, earnestly requesting the policy and share-
holders not to be alarmed at any of the reports which
may appear at the present moment, "as they are
advisedly, and in full assurance of its sound position,
determined to oppose to the utmost the unwarrantable
attempts to ruin the society."

THE woniuma MEN'S CONGRESS.

The delegates who were sent from this country to
the International Working Men's Congress at Basle
have met their constituents, and given in their re-
ports. On the whole, they regard the Congress as a
success. The number of delegates was larger than
at any former ono, and the gathering was essentially
representative. The 'delegates • had freely mingled
with one another, and addressed each other as
representatives of labour, not as bearers of national
distinctions. One of the delegates complained that
too much time had been wasted in reading long
reports, and complained that some of the reporters
had incorrectly stated that the discussions sometimes
lapsed into noisy wrangles. It was agreed by all
that the moral influence of the Congress
.had been
great.

ANTI-FREE TRADE MOVEMENT.

The Trades of Great Britain Defence AssOciation
held a public meeting on Thursday night to take into
consideration the present critical state of the country,
the depression of trade, and the general want of
employment consequent on the importation of foreign
manufactured goods, and to agree to a petition to bo
presented to the next session of Parliament for a
commission of inquiry as to the working of our com-
mercial policy. The point chiefly sought to be esta-
blished by the various speakers was that the
result of the experience of Free Trade proved
that it was seriously damaging to the working
classes of this country. A. resolution was pro-
posed to the effect that Free Trade should
be based upon the equality of international exchanges;
that as other countries had not adopted the principle,
it had become injurious to England, and was the
cause of the present depression in trade, the want of
employment, and the increase of pauperism. Govern-
ment, therefore, ought to institute immediate inquiry
into the-working of our commercial policy, with the
view of ascertaining how far unreciprocated free
trade contributes towards producing this depression,
and to what extent it .may be limited, so as to pro-
duce an effective remedy. This resolution had,
however, to give way to an amendment which
enunciated the fact that the great distress and want
of employment existing among the working classes
require a more speedy remedy than an inquiry at the
hands of a committee of the House of Commons.

The claims were 335, amounting to the sum of £127,886

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 os. 4d.
Tho assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same. _ _

The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions, It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

Tun PRUSSO-BADEN QUESTION.

The French papers are much interested in the discussion
of the Baden question, and speculate upon the probability
of that province being joine Ito Prussia. Despatches from
Berlin state that great astonishment has been produced in
that city by the rumours that prevailed in Paris respecting
the annexation of the grand duchy. The Cons! itutio2znel
declares that the Prussian journals themselves began the
controversy by intimating that some inhabitants of
Carlsruhe intended to effect the entry of Baden
into the Northern Confederation In reality there
is little difference between annexation and union,
but one sounds better than the other. The French
journals naturally made some comments on the affair, and
hence the subject assumed an undue importance. It is
worthy of notice that the Prussian Government does not
deny the truth of the statements of the Gazette de Magde-
burg and the Gazette Nationale de Berlin concerning the
entrance of Baden into the Northern Confederation. Had
such a contradiction been given, it would have disposed of
the question far more effectually than the partial denial
which has appeared in official quarters,
London, England, 1869-09-25

THE TIDAL WAVE.

The apprehension which the coming high tide
awakens seems difficult to allay, notwithstanding the
statement of the Astronomer Royal that there is
really nothing to fear. The highest tides this
year, a contemporary states, have been at the
end of February, at the beginning and end of
March, and on the Bth of the present month;
and the maximum height, which occurred on March
29th, was 21ft. 9in. The calculated rise on the
7th October next is one inch greater than that on
March 29 ; and this, it should be observed, implies
only half an inch greater absolute height, as the level
of the water when low will sink half an inch under
the low water mark of that day. So far as the flood
of the 7th depends on the proximity of the moon to
the equator, there is not the smallest cause for anxiety.

IFDREIGN NOTES.

EDUCATION IN PIZANCR.

The Prefet of the Department of Calvadoi his Malt* a
report on the subject of elementary education, and chews
the obstacles that exist in the way of steady attendance at
the elementary schools. The parents dislike to send their
children to those schools where boys and girls are taught
together, but it would entail extra expense to have them in
separate schools. The French Government is very nig-
gardly in the matter of education, and has been accused of
wishing to cut a farthing into quarters for the purpose of
making money go farther in this respect. The Prefet
also considers that the gratuitous system militates
against the success of these schools. The population of
the country would be more energetic if they had to pay
for the education of their children, and might estimate the
value of instruction more highly. The teachers of theie
schools are miserably paid, and- after a service of thirty or
forty years they sometimes receive a pension not exceed-
ing fifty francs a year.

RETURN OF THE FRENCH NATIONAL GUARDS
The detachment of the French National Guards, whiob
has been so well received by the people of Liege, has been
recalled to Paris, and has thus been unable to accept the
King's invitation to Brussels. The Guards passed throughthe Belgian capital on their return to Paris, and were most
cordially received. The burgomaster and the civic autho
thorities awaited their arrival at the Hotel de Ville,
and expressed the satisfaction they felt in meeting
them on that occasion. The French Commander
returned a suitable reply, and the greatest enthusiasm pre-
vailed among the spectators. In tho evening the French
Ambassador gave a grand dinner in honour of the occasion;
the Belgian Ministers were present, and the officers of the
French National Guard. The Guards' band performed
during the repast ; at eleven o'clock the French National
Guard took its departure amid enthusiastic cheers.

is known as the Spout of Buchanty. The pool in

clutched, with his hands covered with blood, an
overhanging branch a he fell into the water.

THE VOLUNTEERS OF LIBERTY IN MADRID.

The volunteers in Madrid aro in a very matisfactory
condition. They are irritated at the affair of their expul-
sion from the Principal, and they are displeased with their
commander, Senor Rivero. Many ofh.lers have resigned,
and the Igiculdad contains some severe criticisms on his
conduct. Senor Rivero has given great offence by directing
his subordinates to study the penal code; as if they did
not comprehend their duties as citizens; and the journal
in question reminds him that ho is a popular authority,
invested with transitory power, and that he has abused
the power entrusted to him.
London, England, 1869-09-25

LAY HELP.

The subject of lay help in the Church has been dis-
cussed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and a num-
ber of clerics assembled at Sittingbourne. His grace
pointed out how important a branch of the subject it
was to know ho'i to deal with those who were not
decided members of the Church of England.
The clergy had been very much in the habit
of ignoring the existence of any but themselves;
and to some extent the whole Legislature had done
this. But now the existence of others was very dis-
tinctly recognised by the Legislature in a thousand
ways. The Archbishop would, he said, be extremely
sorry if the idea were to get abroad, that
they were to take their position like other sects
in the country and that they were to receive
only those who distinctly declared that, after weighing
the matte; they preferred the Church of England
above any other body.. No doubt these were the
persons who were their real strength ; but he should
be sorry to exclude persons who hang loose to the
Church, and who might by any action of the clergy
be sent off into any other body. It would be well to
cast their lines as broadly as possible and take in all
they possibly could.

AFFAIRS IN JAPAN,

Accounts received respecting the late outbreak in Japan
state that the insurgents were abetted by several French
officers, who were captured at ITA dadi and delivered up
to the French Admiral. The rebels fought bravely, and
when they found their case hopeless, they ran their ships
ashore and set fire to them. The authority of the GOvern-
ment is now re-established throughout the whole of the
Mikado's dominions. The war is said to have been
owing to the anger of the Tokugawa clan at the
displacement of their chief, Stotsbashi, the 'Tycoon.
The - Tycoon was the representative of the Daimios,
and when our vessels first visited Japan, he was
believed to be the head authority of the State. In reality
he was only the delegate of the Daimics or great princes,
such as Satsuma, whose name was once familiar to English
readers in connection with the bombardment of his strong-
hold by English men-of-war. These Daimios, becoming
jealous of the Tycoon, combined and overthrew him, a
manoeuvre which greatly irritated the Tokugawa clan, of
which he was chief. Their disaffection was fostered by
some French officers, and last year they attempted
to proclaim the independence of the Island of Yesso,
which belongs to Stotsbashi. The French officers
took up their abode in Yesso, which was strongly fortified,
and during the winter the rebels retained possession. The
Mikado's forces have now carried all the strongholds, some
of which, such as Hakodadi, were sufficiently formidable.
The Frenchmen were captured, and the French Admird
could only obtain their release by a threat of bombard-
ment. Stotsbashi, the late Tycoon, did not, strange to say,
take part with his clan, and has been recalled from his
retirement.

EUROPEAN EMIGRATION.

Professor Goldwin Smith calls attention in the
columns of the Beehive to a guide-book for emigrants
which the American Social Science Association has
undertaken to prepare. Compiled by competent
members of the Association, the work will contain in
concise form all desirable information in regard to
the cost and *best time and mode of crossing the
Atlantic ; the relative advantages of landing in dif-
ferent ports ; the organic and statute laws of the
Union and the several States; the philanthropic pro-
visions in America for the benefit of emigrants;
the cost of living ; the chances of finding employ-
ment and the rate of wages in the States ; the
expense of reaching the interior ; the material and
other inducementsleld out to the various classes of
emigrants in the different sections of the
country—in short, whatever may serve best to
instruct and guide those who visit the States
to better their fortunes. The plan of the association
will first be carried out in reference to emigration
.
from Great Britain ; will then be extended to emi-
gration froth other European countries, particularly
Germany. The work in question, Professor Goldwin
Smith believes, will be well executed, and it will
possess the great advantage of being entirely neutral
and impartial in its character. It will not attempt to
any particular direction, but

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed Without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour 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-

THE UNITED STATES.

General Grant's first, and, so ear, ins only message to
Congress, was simply a request that the Act of 1789,
which forbids any person engaged in trade from taking
office at the Treasury, be repealed by Congress, or, at
least, that Mr. Stewart, who had been chosen as Sec-
retary to the Treasury, should be exempted from its
provisions. The message was received by the Senate, and
Senator Sherman presented a bill modifying the law, by
striking out the section referring to the Secretary, so as to
enable Mr. Stewart to assume the dutie3 of his new posi-
tion. But the majority were averse to any hasty change,
and so Mr. Stewart has resigned, and a successor has
been appointed. One cause of the Senate's refusal to
modify the law is very clear : Mr. Stewart is a free-
trader, and the Senate has not yet learned to love politi-
cians of this stamp.

A distressing instance of the horrible mishap of burying
alive is reported from Alleghany. Some years ago a
beautiful young lady residing in that neighbourhood was
supposed to have died, and was buried. A few weeks
back the corpse was exhumed, when it was discovered
that she had been buried alive. Her body was turned in
the coffin, the clothing torn in shreds, and her hair pulled
out by handfuls. The mother, who had idolised her
daughter, was so r,ffected by the discovery that she has
since become a hopeless maniac.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

As usual, it is necessary to strike the balance between
two entirely different reports from South America. One
account states that Lopez is entrenching himself with
4,000 men at a distance of twenty-one leagues from Asun-
cion, that the Allies are quarrelling, and that the Argentine
Republic, at least, desires a peace. From the Argentine
Legation comes the statement that Lopez is hiding in the
mountains with a few followers, having massacred all who
would not join him. It seems rather strange that the
Paraguayans should tolerate this ruler, if, as his
enemies allege, his power is utterly broken, and yet he
, murder§ bio tiubiecta indiscriminately.

THE REPORTED SCANDAL IN HIGH LIFE.

The Army and Navy Gazette says that a few
months ago, when a gentleman wished to let his
friends know that he was alive and well, he used to
become a candidate for Athlone. Now such persons
put themselves forward as army reformers. As
every man can drive a gig and edit a newspaper, so
he can reform the army. Sir Charles Tre-
velyan set the example, and, says our contemporary,
with evident reference to a very sensational para-
graph which lately appeared in a Belfast paper, " his
followers, down to Cole, C. 8., have been nearly as
afflicting as London correspondents, who manufac-
ture fresh news out of the exploded scandals of a
dozen years ago." The Gazette goes on to make
special fun of Mr. Anderson, the new M.P. for
Glasgow, who lately gave notice of a question
respecting the appointment of the Duke of Cam-
bridge to the colonelcy of the COth Rifles, evidently
thinking that his Royal Ilighners was a fearful
pluralist. The question has disappeared from the
notice paper, and no doubt the hon. member has
learnt that of all the colonelcies which the Duke of
Cambridge holds, only one has pay attached to it.
