POLICE IIVTIi,'LLIGEIVCE.-7his Day

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
INTERFXRING WITH THE POLICE. Thornae Lawrence, a
young man, was charged as follows : —Police• constable
Walter Vane, '29 0, said that morning, while on duty in
Cranbourne-street. he saw two men, who were quarrel-
linq. Ho persuaded them to go away, and
.one did so
but as the other refused, and would not leave, he was
about to take Lim into custody, when the prisoner said
that he was if he should, and caught hold of him
and he had to throw the prisoner and hold him down, and
while he was doing so some of the prisoner s companions
seized him by the hair and pulled it ; another bit his finger
and then pulled him about. Assistance came and he took
him to the station—the drunken man he was going to
take to the station getting away.
In answer to Mr. Newton, the constable said that he
believed the drunken man was a friend of the prisoner's.
A woman, who keeps a stall at the corner of Oran-
bourne-street, said she saw some of the prisoners com-
panions treating the constable shamefully, scratching his
face and pulling his hair. She never knew the prisoner
or his companions to do any work, and they have been in
the habit of standing at the corner of the street all day
and night, and robbed when they had a chance. She had
assisted the police, and because she had done so she was
called by the prisoner and his companions a "police spy."
The prisoner put some questions to the witness, and in
reply to one said she saw him strike the constable.
In answer to the charge, the prisoner said all he wanted
to do was to get the drunken man home, and not to have
him locked up.

Mr. Newt(); said the constable was only doing his duty
when the prisoner interfered with him. It way a serious
offence, and of all per6ons the police were to be protected
and not knocked about by men like the prisons. The pri-
soner would have to pay 20s. or 14 days.

WESTMINSTER.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH DISTRESS. —George Hall,
a tall, half-famished-looking man, was charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide by taking poison.
Patrick Mullay, a police-constable, saki that late last
night he was on duty near Hyde-park-corner when the
defendant called to him, and said he had taken laudanum.
Witness took him to St. George's Hospital, where the usual
course was pursued in such cases.

Mr. Arnold —What did the defendant say about the
laudanum ?

Constable—l questioned him, and he told me that he
had bought the laudanum and taken it to destroy himself.
Ile then gave me the bottle I produce which contained the
laudanum.

Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this ?
Defendant—]t is true that I took the laudanum. I was
driven to do it by distress. I have long been out of em-
ployment, can't get anything to do. I was driven to it
by want.
Remanded for a week.

ON A NEW PEINCIPLE.

The Owl' !ma is suitable for flue writing, and glides
over the paper in the most easy and graceful manner.
This is par excellence the lady's pen. The Pickwick,'
from its flexibility, is well adapted for business purposes.
The Waverley 'is sure to become a favourite ; its flexi
bi:ity is so great tt at it will entirely supersede the use of
gulls, and to professional men will be invaluable. The
Waverley Barrel Pen' possesses the same qualities as the

THE LIBERATION SOCIETY.

In spite of the Reform Bill, the Liberation Society
do not seem to have much influence in Parliament.
At the annual meeting, just held, there were but five
M.P.'s present—Mr. Aliall, Mr. Illingworth, Mr.
M'Laren, Mr. Dowse, and Mr. Richard. Remember-
ing the large number of M.P.'s there are in the House
who represent clerical ideas and interests, there does
not seem much reason at present for Churchmen to
fear this much-dreaded association. At the same
time, the influence of the association is not to
be measured solely by the number of its
members who sit in Parliament. Mr. Morley,
for instance, although he has withdrawn from
the society, approves for the most part of the
measures which it supports. So do many other
M.P's., including not a few who belong to the Church.
Mr. Bennett, of Frome, who has lately adopted Mr.
Bright's language, and stigmatised spiritual peers as
the offspring of an adulterous union, has not yet,
we believe, paid his subscription to Mr. Carvell
Williams. In the meanwhile, the association is very
jubilant at the rapid spread of its main principle—
the separation of the religious from the secular, of
the Church from the State, which is declared to be
gaining ground throughout all Europe.
The speech made by Mr. Henry Richard, M.P.,
and ex-Dissenting minister, was very animated and
vigorous. He referred to that period of suspended
political animation five years ago when, owing to the
influence of Lord Palmerston, no legislation was
proposed to arouse the enthusiasm of the nation.
The young politicians of the period affected, and
probably felt, a cynicism and indifferentism with regard
to public affairs that was most injurious. The middle
classes also became quite indifferent ; and so, when
Lord Palmerston went out and Lord Derby came in,
it was in their eyes merely the difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee. But as soon as Mr.
Gladstone succeeded to the leadership of the Liberal
party, all was changed, and such earnestness was
infused into the nation as it had not felt for
many years. The result was that, so far
as Wales was concerned, the Liberal party had
increased from 17 to 23 members, and the Conser-
vatives had decreased from 15 to 0. The landlords,
however, were taking vengeance upon the people,
especially upon the Nonconformists, and there was
at this moment a perfect reign of terror in some
parts of the principality. Mr. Richard concluded
his speech with an impassioned appeal to English
Nonconformists to support their Welsh brethren.
Sergeant Dowse followed in a very animated
speech, and avowed his wish that the experiment of
disestablishment in Ireland would be before long
applied to England. Mr. Miall had a very enthusiastic
reception, and moved a resolution expressing satis-
faction with the Irish Church Bill as a complete
fulfilment of the pledges made by Mr. Gladstone last
year.

FOREIGN NOTES.

COUNT BISMARCK.

Tame increases by geometrical progression. Let a
public man once fairly turn public admiration upon him-
self and he is likely to have the exclusive enjoy-
ment of it. Count Bismarck was generally
reviled, if not despised, previous to the Danish
war, but ho has now gained a standing reputation for
omnipotence. We are now told that his emissaries
are everywhere engaged in France working the elections
in favour of Democratic and anti-Napoleonic opposition,
The Nenager, oil Munich, suspects that Budaille, the
well-known speaker at the Paris public meetings, is
nothing more than the satellite of the Prussian Jupiter.
The Paris correspondent of the Era], a Cracow paper,
has more precise and astonishing information. He, too,
says that France swarms with the agents of Count Bis-
marck. Each receives his instructior.s from the Chancellor
himself. Their operations are on the largest scale. "The
greatest success of the Prussian intrigues is to have Won
over even agents of the French secret police, who are now
devoted to Prussia. By means of their mysterious con-
nivance agitation is maintained in Paris, and plots are
being organised against the Government. The hand of
Count de Bismarck is everywhere in France, and if care
is not taken his secret acts will suddenly burst one day
with terrible effect." A Saxon ,paper asserts that a
secret treaty has been signed between Count Bismarck and
the Orleanist family. Montpcnsier is to have Spain ; the
Count de Paris, France ; the Duc d'Aumale is to rule
Hungary; Austria will cease to exist, and Germany will
become Prussia I

Some further amendments to the clause having been

On clause 59 being proposed,
Sir F. HEYGATE moved an amendment, the effect of
which was to include lunatic asylums sad I:TEI*113f): pour

cipate in the surplus funds of the Church Biter all the pre-
visions of the Act had been complied with in exoneration

THE MAY MEETING,

The Earl of Shaftesbury seems to be as popular as ever
for chairman at these May meetings. He is engaged
nearly every day either at larger or smaller assemblies,
and no one seems to please the public so well as himself.

CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.
This society had the noble lord for their chairman
at St. James's Hall on Thursday. The report stated
that during the past year the total receipts had been
£51,845 19s. 11d. ; the donations and subscriptions
being £6,526 17s. 9d. ; the association returns and
sermons, £31,801 4s. 3d. ; the legacies, £11,237 16s. ;
the immediate annuities, £1,486 'Ts. 6d. ; and interest,
£793 7s. 6d. This was less than last year by £5,324 6s. 9d. in
legacies, and more in donations, &c., by £l5O 10s. Id.,
making a total decrease of £5,173 16s. Bd. The expendi-
ture which would be greatly increased by new grants
which had been made, had been £49,110115. id. The
total receipts since the formation of the society
had been £1,110,822 9s. 7d. There were forty-six
grants more than last year. To sustain all these grants
an income of £61,443 was required. The society pro-
vides 730 additional public services on the Sunday, 497 on
the week day, 740 schoolroom and cottage lectures, and
734 Bible classes. Its grants bad led to the erection,
opening, or keeping open of 28G churches or chapels ; and
in districts at present receiving aid 258 rooms were licensed
for the celebration of Divine service. Additional and
more systematic pastoral visitation was also provided for
a population amounting to upwards of four millions and
a quarter. The meeting was addressed by several
ministers and gentlemen, and resolutions were passed
approving the aim of the society.

LONDON CITY MISSION.

The report of the London City Mission, read at
Exeter Hall, sheaved the number of missionaries for
the past year as 361. The receipts for the general
fund amounted to £40,288 12s. Bd., and for the disabled
missionaries' fund £496 4s. 10d., spewing an increase
over the preceding year of six missionaries, and in
the receipts of £3,823 15s. 4d., while in the disabled mis-
sionaries' fund there is a decrease of £217 12s. sd. The
chairman congratulated the meeting on having, for the
I first time for some years, a sufficient balance to carry them
through the coming year without anxiety; but this was
mainly due to an anonymous donation of £2,000.
In order to give this sum a somewhat permanent form,
it bad been decided to invest about £2,500 in annuities, so
as to provide some five or six additional missionaries.
The disabled fund was a source of great anxiety, for it was
not right to leave their servants who had grown old in
their service perfectly destitute ; but in order to keep up
their allowances during the past year it had been found
necessary to withdraw £4OO from the general fund. He
(the chairman) hoped that subscribers to the society would
supplement their subscriptions with donations to this fund,
and so obviate the necessity of withdrawing fnm the
general fund for the future.

Tli XUES.

A WARNING TO SUICIDES.—Louisa Cowell, IL young
woman, and Jaim Davidson, an elderly woman, wero
brought before Mr. Benson charged wits attempting to
commit suicide.

Cowell swallowed a quantity of laudanum while she was
intoxicated, and the poison was with groat difficulty
"pumped out" of her stomach. She was saved with diffi -
culty. Davidson threw herself into the water at that
modern Tarperian Rock, New Gravel-lane bridge, Shad-
well, and immediate assistance being very fortunately
at hand she was got out alive. It was stated that great
numbers had committed suicide at the same spot, and also
at the Old Gravel-lane-bridge. Both aro easy of access,
and are a• continuation of two important thoroughfares.
The prisoners expressed their deep regret at what they
had done, and Cowell said she was in liquor when she
bought the stuff.

Mr. Denson said if any medical man, chemist, or drug-
gist sold to the prisoners laudanum while either were in-
toxicated ho ought to be prosecuted. Ho, however, dis-
charged tho prisoners with a caution.

THE IRISH caukca BILL.

The house then went into committee on this 1411; and
commenced the discussion on the 58th clause.

Mr. CLIARLEY moved an amendment for the purpose
of enabling Irish prelates after the disestablishment of the
Church to retain their scats in the louse of Lords, and that
all prelates appointed before the tint.) fixed for the bill
coming into operation be entitled to the same privilege.
Mr. GLADSTONE said it Lad already appeared to the
house -when discussing the 13th clause that the sessation
of certain priviledges would result as a necessary conse-
quence of the passing of the bill to the Spiritual peers of
the Irish Church then in existence. JIo did not think

PARTIES IN SPAIN.

The 2nd of May is called the Great Day in Spain. It
is the anniversary of that memorable morning in 1803
when the people of Madrid made a desperate effort to
throw off the yoke of foreign despot rulers ; an effort
which failed indeed, but which led to the war of indepen-
dence, in which the name of England figures so
triumphantly. The 2nd of May is not a joyous anniver-
sary. The civil and military authorities head a proces-
sion to the spot at the north-west end of Madrid
where two Spanish artillery officers first opened fire on
the enemy, and were executed. Here an anthem is sung,
volleys are fired, music is played, and then the assemblage
disperses.

This year the celebration seems to have been more.
solemn than usual. The Spaniards arc under the influence
of great a'arm. The Revolution has weathered many
dangers, but its results are now jeopardised more
seriously than ever by party dissension. Prim and
Serrano cannot come to an agreement, übilst
the parties which they respectively head—the Progressists
and the Unionists—have decidedly conic to disagreement.
" Symptoms of decided ill-will," says the Times corre-
spondent, "if not between Prim and Serrano, at least
between their respective partisans, are too evident to be
any longer overlooked or dissembled. Mutual charges,
recriminations, and even threats, are openly bandied
about. It is the opinion of well-informed men that the
present month will not pass without some decisive ---
outbreak." Evil days have been put off hitherto.
Men of divers politics have united for the common. good,
and their anion, though the Times correspondent thinks
lightly of it, is most creditable to them. But they cannot
devise a solution of the great difficulty which will prove
equally acceptable to both sides. This state of
uncertainty cannot last much longer. The Unionistsbegin
to see that their only chance is in the enthronement of
3.lontpensier ; the Progressists are gravitating towards
a Republic. This is the issue which willehortly be brought
to a crisis.

The Coratitutionnel repeats the statement, often made
before, that a Directory is about to be formed. It will
consist of four members, who are to be Prim, Serrano,
River°, and Olozaga.

they were called upon to reopen the matter with respect
to those who might be appointed.
The amendment was negatived.

Some further amendments to the clause having been
moved, and after a short debate withdrawn, the clause
was agreed to, and ordered to stand part of the bill.
On clause 59 being prbposed,

Sir F. lIEYGATE moved an amendment, the effect of
wbich was to include lunatic, asylums and asylums fDr poor
persons of weak intellect as institutions that might parti-
cipate in the surplus funds of the Church after all the pro-
visions of the Act had been complied with in exoneration
of the grand jury cess.
Mr. GLADSTONE thought there was no necessity for
the amendment, as the bill provided for:hospitals, which
he believed included incurables as well as ettrables,
The amendment was withdrawn,.

the last or " saving" c7ausas of the bill, which esc.,:up'•ed

DEMONSTRATING AGAINST THE CHURCH DIL!

The battle in the Commons is fought out. The
hope of the opponents of the Church Bill is now in
the Lords. To encourage them in rejecting the bill
a series of demonstrations—commencing with the
one at St. James's Hall—is being held throughout
the country. Two were held in London on Wednes-
day. At one of these Mr. Morgan Howard, the late
candidate for Lambeth, moved the adoption of a
petition praying the Lords to throw out the bill,
and the meeting passed his resolution. Do they
really mean to counsel that the Lords should put
themselves in opposition to the nation?

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The Prose Libre, of Paris, has a special telegram from
New York, denying the report that Mr. Motley
would negotiate for the settlement of the Alabals
claims on the basis of Mr. Sumner's absur
pretensions. The despatch further announces that " Mr.
Motley has received from President Grant the most cot.•
dilatory instructions, and there is scarcely any doubt that
this Alabama question will be settled in the most will.:
manner. The President has expressly declared that he
considers Mr. Sumner's pretensions exaggerated." The
Prase Libre has not been famed hitherto as an authority
on American affairs, but it is quite possible that it may be
well informed this time. In any case a special cabl3
telegram in a French journal is a refreshing and, we
believe, unprecedented novelty, and, as such, is deserving
of every respect.

The Americans, though fully sympathising with Mr.
Sumner's speech on the Alabama treaty, appear to be
ashamed of Senator Chandler's insolent proposition touch- •
ing the cession of Canada by England. Mr. Sumner was
thought to hint at the surrender of British North
America as satisfaction for the Alabama claims,
but Mr. Chandler openly and unblushingly proposed it.
He has been rather roughly treated in consequence. The
New York Times stigmatises the idea that Great Britain
can be bullied or coaxed into yielding Canada as " pre-
posterous and absurd." The Nation treats the proposi-
tion with contempt. The Tribune naively remarks that
the English " are of the same blood as ourselves, and, be-
cause they are, they must not be bullied ;" which, con-
sidering that the Tribune itself .has done a very fair
amount of bullying, must be deemed a large admis-
sion. We shall probably not hear much more about the •
cession of Canada.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE THROUGH DISTRESS. —George Hall,
a tall, half-famished-looking..man, was charged with at-
tempting to commit suicide by taking poison.
Patrick Mullay, a police-constable, said that late last
night he was on duty near Hyde-park-corner when the
defendant called to him, and said he had taken laudanum.
Witness took him to St. George's Hospital, where the usual
course was pursued in such cases.

Mr. Arnold—What did the defendant say about the
laudanum ?

Constable—l questioned him, and be told me that he
had bought the laudanum and taken it to destroy himself.
He then gave me the bottle I produce which contained the
laudanum.

Mr. Arnold—What have you to say to this ?

Defendant—lt is true that I took the laudanum. I was
driven to do it by distress. I have long been out of em-
ployment, can't get anything to do. I was driven to it
by want.
Remanded for a week.
