ILLNESS OF MR. CHARLES KEAN.

(From the Liverpool Daily Courier.)
It is with sincere regret that we have to announce
the serious illness of Mr. Charles Kean. The ce:
currence—at any time a matter calculated to elicit
general sympathy—has happened at an especial
inopportune moment. By dint of great perseverance,
under failing strength, Mr. Kean has succeeded in
almost completing a brilliant farewell engagement
in this town, and just as it was being brought
to a triumphant climax, he is struck down by 3
serious, we almost fear dangerous, illness. ll°
was unable to appear at the Prince of Wales's
Theatre last night in " King Lear," and a large
audience, was therefore disappointed in the per-
formance ; but the regret at the cause of the
disappointment was much more keenly felt than
the deprivation itself. The anxious inquiries
made regarding his position, and the earnest
wishes expressed for his recovery, show the
estimation in which he is held by the
and must afford a melancholy satisfaction to his
wife and family. Mr. Kean's illness has brought
the engagement to an abrupt termination, and a 8
we have said, it has occurred at a peculiarly We.
portune time. On Friday evening, announced a 8
his last appearance in Liverpool, he was to have
taken his benefit, and that it would have been a Ivor;
thy close to a long public career we have undoubten,
proof. The farewell would have been affecting and
cordial, and every one must regret that it is nor
prevented by such an untoward event. The Per;
formance was to consist of " Richard 11. " and
" The Jealous Wife," and we have an earnest c',
the interest with which the fare well was regarded
by the public in the fact that every seat in the
house had been secured. Even the band were to
be turned out of their accustomed place, and the
orchestra devoted to stall seats. Now, however'
this affectionate leave-taking has been spoil!
and Mr. Kean, instead of _receiving the valedle-
tory plaudits of his admirers, is prostrated on 3
bed of sickness. The change is most unfortunate'

HALL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES.

Sympathising with our gracious Queen, we are
disposed to support any project for preserving the
memory of him whose less she steadfastly deplores,
but the proposed Hall of Arts and Sciences seems
to be a preposterous undertaking. " Hall of
Science" the edifice will never be, except in name ;
" Hall of Arts," in the South Kensington sense, it
it maybe; Hall of Public Entertainment it assuredly
will be. We surmise that the result of the semi-
commercial speculation which her Majesty has
been induced to patronise will be nothing more
than a chartered Crystal Palace, where possibly
a scientific Blondin may ono day lecture on
unstable equilibrium, and a scientific pyrotechnist
display before an enlightened audience the striking
effects produced by the combustion of certain ele-
ments combined in definite proportions. Com-
mercial enterprise will not be slow to provide such
light fare when the pnblic mind rejects more sub-
stantial food. The building will be admirably
adapted for shows of an attractive character, but
for purely scientific purposes it will be utterly
useless. An ordinary lecture could not be heard in
this South Kensington Coliseum, and such experi-
ments as we are accustomed to see at the Royal
Institution would be invisible to nine-tenths of the
people for whom seats will be providel—Laboratory.

ely indifferent. The lack of sufficient
parativ
dwell- ing room for our labouring population is ono
of tl le most crying evils of the day, and it is an
evil which is a very difficult one to deal with.
Wee can, however, surely do something to modify
the water grievance, and the attention of Parliament
sbc 'uld be directed to it before the session is over.
It s hould be made incumbent on every landlord to
,ormidg a receptacle for a supply of water propor-
' donate to the size of the house. In waiting for
larger reforms and a supply of better quality this
would greatly mitigate the grievances suffered from

in hot weather. Also the water companies
should be bound to furnish the usual quantity
oil Sunday, since domestic necessities are not
lit ble to equal intermission. If they do not do this
tE ey should at least give a second supply on
Se turday evening, else so far from the poor people
being able to carry out the traditional " cleaning"
of place and person, and clothes for the Sunday,
they are reduced to the necessity of being dirtier
than on any other day in the week ! We
may be spared any return of the old enemy
this year, but that is no reason why we should relax
our precautionary measures. The recent outbreak
of the Cattle Plague should teach us that there is
either some deficiency in our arrangements or some
unfavourable conditions in the atmosphere. But
whatever the aspect of affairs as regards cholera,
or any other special complaint, we know that
typhus and its kindred are always too busy among
our courts and alleys. Every case of preventible
death is a reproach to the humanity and the justice
of the whole community, and it is very much to be
desired that some earnest and persevering reformer
would take up the grievances of the thousands of
hardworking people who are struggling to pay a
heavy rent for rooms or tenements, which they oc-
cupy under conditions irreconcileable with health,
decency, or comfort.

On the consideration of the repoet the following amen

viz. ; whether shareholders holding stock or shares
late of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company,
ordinary or preferential, ought to be heard

yielding income, would be absorbed by pre-preference
shareholders under this bill to the prejudice and exclusion

and a select number of hunters and jumpers of °al
class, to parade and then jump. There had bee,.,
but two sets of hurdles set up, but at the Prince;
request a third was acklefl, which tam=ed some nft

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings in Banco before Lord Chief Justice Cock-

GOLDBERRY V. BUACK.

In this case, which was tried before Mr. Justice
Lush and a common jury yesterday, a verdict was
returned for the plaintiff for over £l9. It appeared
that the plaintiff had purchased some goods, and
according to the statement of the defendant,
she, not having the entire money to pay fo►
them, she applied to her to make her an advance,
and that she lent her £2O, taking some of the goods
as a security. The plaintiff alleged that the goods
were sold to her, and the action was brought to
recover the difference between the account given
her and their value.
The defendant, who is a lady, and spoke with a
foreign accent, applied to the court in person this
morning for a new trial, on the ground that shy
had a person who could give material evidence in
her behalf.
The Lord Chief-Justice explained to her that she
must have an affidavit to that effect, and that the
court would most probably grant her rule.
Mr. Justice Lush, who was present, stated that
an attorney had entered an appearance for the lady,
bat refused to proceed farther with the case, as she
did not supply him with the necessary funds.

The Empeior Maximilian.

A letter has just reached us from a private source
dated Tampico, the 27th April. In it the writer
says :—" We know here that Escobedo was defeated
before Queretaro ; that he lost ten thousand men
after a sanguinary combat never recorded as yet in
our internal wars. Juarez has sent, one after
another five special couriers, ordering the troops to
join him ; but • his orders have been unattended to,
the commander here being a partisan of Ortega,
though as yet he has not announced it publicly,
because there are four American gunboats authored
opposite the town, with the commanders of which
the governor has had the most violent and dis-
agreeable questions."
_ _ _

Now if Escobedo was, as this letter and former
communications assert, so much in want of rein-
forcements, and the troops he counted on refused
to join him, how can he possibly have taken Quere-
taro? Porifirio Diaz, it has always been said, was
besieging the capital itself, therefore Escobedo
could not be reinforced by him. But the strongest
ground for disbelief in the news of the capture of
Maximilian, and fall of the Empire, is the fact that
the Liberals stop all correspondence that is not
written by themselves or in their interests. They
must have good reason for not allowing the truth
to be known.

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1867.

Another good day's work was done yesterday, and
the Reform Bill has made more progress, and that
of a substantial character. Although the conclu-
sion that the Committee ultimately arrived at was
satisfactory, it was not come to without a good '
deal of discussion, and some decided opposition from
various quarters. The first thing that came on
was the question of the disfranchisement of the
corrupt boroughs, and among those who were
against the proposition being carried out was
Mr. BRIGHT. Extremes meet in the politicians of
the present day, fur Mr. LOWE was also opposed to
the scheme, which he characterised as one only
applicable to the old system. The arguments of
the hon. member for Birmingham were quite in-
conclusive, and, indeed, it seems strange that he
should so confuse himself as not to see the fallacy
of supporting the claims of boroughs which have
proved themselves so totally unworthy of trust.
Mr. GLADSTONE came to the rescue, and showed
that there was nothing inconsistent in the proposed
plan, and indeed it was one that recommended
itself to the attention of hon. members on account
of its comprehensiveness. It was, he truly said, no
more a bill of pains and penalties than Schedule A
of the Reform Act, which had effected the dis-
franchisement of several small boroughs. We
think the right bon. gentleman was perfectly cor-
rect in his reading of the case when he said
that communities must be held responsible
br the course pursued by a large number of
their individual members, and summed up by saying
that "sometimes a real public right is sacrificed to
an imaginary private right." Since the schemes
hitherto tried in the cases of individuals have been
found to be so very incompetent to deal with the

MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Anthony Christian, a
tall, black sailor, was brought before Mr. Paget,
charged with violently assaulting Esther Bevis,
the landlady of a house, No. 6, Philip-street, St.
G eorge-in -the-East.
The complainant, an old woman of colour, of a
much lighter hue than the prisoner, stated that the
prisoner came to lodge with her a week ago, and
gave her two sovereigns, one for his week's board,
the other to pay his passage to Scotland where
he said he intended to join a ship. Re said he

had previously remitted £6 to Scotland. Yesterday
evening he sent his daughter for drink, and after he
had partaken of a good deal of liquor he began
quarrelling, and an argument took place about
publichouses. She said all that was given to eat
came from above and publichouses and drink from
below. lie then swore at her, and took up a chair,
with which he struck her a tremendous blow on the
head, inflicting a deep wound, from which the blood
flowed copiously, and breaking the chair. She was

The Thames Embankment.

COMMITTEE THIS DAY.

This morning the question as to the farther
extension of the approaches of the Thames
embankment, on the northern side of the
river (to the East of Westminster Bridge), and also
the embankment which extends along that portion
of the river known as! Chelsea Reach, came before
the Referees on Private Bills for consideration, as
to the interests of a very large number of holders
of property (real, copy, and leasehold), in
the districts through which they would ultimately

pass. The different parties appeared, and state-
ments were made to the effect that arrangements
had been entered into which would completely
satisfy the interests of all concerned. The ques-
tion haying been generally discussed, it was
ultimato!y arranged that all opposition to the
bill should be withdrawn.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court of Common Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor presided.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN THE METROPOLIS.
Mr. E. DRESSER ROGERS said that, having seen
various statements in the public press in reference

to a fresh outbreak of the cattle plague in the me-

tropolis, he should be glad if the chairman of the

Cattle Market Committee would inform him whe-

,her he was in a position to make any state-

meat to the court, for the information of the public,
upon the subject. He should also be glad to know
whether th ere had been any diminution in the
quantity of dead meat sent to the Metropolitan
Cattle Market. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. RUDKIN, the. chairman of the committee
referred to, said he was sorry to be obliged to state

,hat there was no doubt that the cattle plague had

reappeared in almost every part of the metropolis,
with the exception of the City of London, in a most
virulent form ; and the committee had only that
morning met for the purpose of reappointing the
inspectors for the market. Certain Orders in

Council had been issued, some of which would come
into effect in a short time, which would throw a

good deal of trouble and responsibility upon the
committee, but they would most readily do every-
thing in tteir power to carry out the intentions of
the Government with reference to putting a stop to
this terrible disease ; and he might state that one

of the regulitions that were to be enforced, and the

necessity fo! which he had forshadowed last year
when the suiject was before under discussion, was to
put an entie stop to the passing foreign cattle
through the streets of the metropolis to the market,
and they would be conveyed there direct by railway.
He considered that this was a most important

regulation, and he believed that it would be
attended with very good effect. (Hear, hear.)
With regaxl to the other question, az to whether
there had been any diminution in the supply of dead
meat to tle Metropolitan Cattle Market he could
state that Here had been no diminution in such
supply. (Hear, bear.)

taken to the London Hospital, and the wound was
dressed.
The broken chair was produced, and Mr. Living-
ston, the chief usher of the court, said the medical
certificate stated that the woman's scalp W 33 lace-
rated.
Isaac Pawsay, a police constable, No. 485 K,
stated that he found the old woman on the floor
weltering in her blood. The prisoner was seated on
a chair only partially dressed, and said the old
woman aggravated him.
The prisoner, who treated the matter very lightly,
said the prosecutrix abused him.
Mr. Paget said the prisoner had committed a.
most savage and brutal assault on the old woman,
and sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and
hard labour, and to find bail to keep the peace for
four months longer. The sureties were to be pro-
vided after the imprisonment expinid, and if the
frisoner could not find bail, he would be detained in
prison in all for eight mon hs.

()a the cons. -leration of the report the following ftmen-l-
ment was move.:—" That the consideration of this re-
port be referred to a select committee to report as follows,
viz. ; whether shareholders holding stuck or shares
late of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company,
ordinary or preferential, ought to be heard
against the alleged confiscation of their pro-
perty if this bill be allowed to pass; whether the
ann.l4amation of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company
with the North British Company in 1865 was procured by
means of false accounts and representations ; whether the
property late of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company,
yielding income, would be absorbed by pre-preference
shareholders under this bill to the prejudice and exclusion
of shareholders under the late company ; and that all fur-
ther proceedings relating to this bill be delayed until the
committee report."
The amendment, however,, was negatived without a
division, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time.

ILLNESS OF MR. CHARLES KEAN.

(From the Liverpool Daily Courier.)
It is with sincere regret that we have to announce
the serious illness of Mr. Charles Kean. The 00'
currence—at any time a matter calculated to elicit
general sympathy—has happened at an especial
inopportune moment. By dint of great perseverance,
under failing strength, Mr. Kean has succeeded in
almost completing a brilliant farewell engagement
in this town, and just as it was being brought
to a triumphant climax, ho is struck down by
serious, we almost fear dangerous, illness. He
was unable to appear at the Prince of Wales's
Theatre last night in " King Lear," and a large
audience was therefore disappointed in the Per-
formance ; but the regret at the cause of the
disappointment was much more keenly felt then
the deprivation itself. The anxious inquiries
made regarding his position, and the earnest
wishes expressed for his recovery, show the
estimation in which he is held by the public,
and must afford a melancholy satisfaction to 11'5
wife and family. Mr. Kean's illness has brought
the engagement to an abrupt termination, and 35
we have said, it has occurred at a peculiarly inoP"
portune time. On Friday evening, announced 35
his last appearance in Liverpool, ho was to have
taken his benefit, and that it would have been a w°r,
thy close to a long public career we have undoubted
proof. The farewell would have been affecting and
cordial, and every one must regret that it is OW'
prevented by such an untoward event. The Per;
formance was to consist of " Richard 11. " and
" The Jealous Wife," and we have an earnest 0.;
the interest with which the farewell_ was regarded
by the public in the fact that every seat in the
house had been secured. Even the band were t°
be turned out of their accustomed place, and the
orchestra devoted to stall seats. Now, however'
this affectionate leave-taking has been spcidec
and Mr. Kean, instead of receiving the valedie:
tory plaudits of his admirers, is prostrated 00
bed of sickness. The change is most unfortunate'

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold et Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London i5:25.17i per .CI sterling. On
comparinf, these rates with the English Mint price of Li
tie. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that gold is
about the same price in Paris and London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
110 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there is
scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the
United States,

declining health, the public are about to lost) the services

Mr. FINLAY asked the Secretary of State for War if
he was aware that several volunteer corps had not yet
received any part of the capitation money voted to them
by the house for the years 1866 and 1865, and only a por-
tion of the money voted for the year 1861 ; and whether
he could state the cause of the delay, and when these corps
might expect to r!ceive the sums due to them.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he was informed that all the
money due in 1861 had been paid. .£ A) of that due
in 1865 was to be paid to-morrow, but with respect to that
for 1666 none hat been paid, bee arse none had been ap-
