DEA7II OF LORD DUNKELLIN, 31. P.

It is with sincere regret that we announce the
death of Lord Dunkellin, M.P. for Galway, which
occurred at an early hour yesterday morning at the
residence of his father the Marquis of Clanricarde,
in Stratton-street, Piccadilly. Lord Dunkellin had
long been in ill health, but it was only for the last
few days that he was known to be in danger.
He was the eldest son of the Marquis of Clanri-
carde by the Hon. Herriet Canning, only daughter
of the late Right Hon. George Canning, the dis-
tinguished statesman. He was born on the 12th of
July, 1827, and had, therefore, just entered his
41st year. In March, 1846, he entered the army
as ensign in the Coldstream Guards. Ile served
with his regiment in the Crimean campaign of
1854, and was present at the battle of the Alma
and the siege of Sebastopol, where he was taken
prisoner in front of the trenches before daylight on
the morning of the 22d of October. By command
of the Emperor Nicholas Lord Dunkellin was re-
moved to St. Petersburg, and as liberated before
the termination of the warty his father, Lord
Clanricarde, being well known to the Emperor from
having been several years British Ambassador at the
Imperial Court. From 1846 to 1852 Lord
-de-cam to the Lord Lieutenant
Dunkellin was aide p
of Ireland, and in January, 1853, was appointed
State Steward of the Lord-Lieutenant's household.
In 1856 he proceeded to Calcutta to fill the ap-
pointment of Military Secretary to his uncle, Lorduring
Canning, then GovernoGeneral of India. D
his sojourn in India he served on the staff of Gen.
Sir James Outram during the Persian expedition
he was
of
1856-7. On his return to England in 1857
elected member for Galway, which borough he had
successfully contested in 1852, and at the last
general election in 1865 he was elected for
county of Galway. Lord Dunkellin's course in Par-
liament was remarkable for one extraordinary
achievement. In committee on Lord Russell's mea-
sure of Parliamentary Reform in June, 1866,
ro he
moved his memorable amendment to clause 5, p-
viding that the rating instead of the rental value
should be considered in estimating the amount re-
quired for the franchise, which he carried by a
majority of 11 against the Government. The re-
sult of this division was the resignation of the Rus-
sell Government. Lord Dunkellin was unmarried,
and his brother, Lord Hubert de Burgh Canning,
is now heir to the title and estates of the Marquis
of Clanricarde. In his regiment, in Parliament, in
Ireland, in India, and in society Lord Dunkellin wAS
universally popular ; his abilities wer rear above
and
the
average, and, being embellished by a y wit
a keen sense of humour, would probably have led
him to high distinction had not his career been
constant ill
crippled and ultimately cut short by
health.
London, England, 1867-08-17

ful must be the disturbing influence of the future
constituencies on the filling up of casual vacan-
cies. On the other hand, parties must be restored
to some semblance of their former organised con-
dition, and the candidates whose political dis-
crimination is confined to saying that they would,
if elected, support the leader of the Ministry or of
the Opposition may be spared the difficulty conse-
quent upon being asked to explain what measures
they mean to promote. At present elections are
matters of chance. Some trifling element, ordina-
rily powerless to influence the result, decides the
day. It is anybody's victory. The best qualifica-
tion for success is probably the possession of local
connections, and we observe that all the five candi-
dates named and unnamed for Stroud are said to
belong to local families. It is desirable that this
element should weigh in the judgment of electors,
but it is easy to overrate its importance. IVG
would prefer a proclamation of principles on the
hustings, but we are conscious that to secure it we
must have clear principles enunciated by the leaders
of Parliament.

The Stanton imbroglio is the topic of the day.
The President on the sth instant, according to the
New 1. )rk Times, addressed Mr. Stanton as fol-
lows:
" Considerations of public interest will persuade
me to accept your resignation if tendered." To
which Stanton replied :—" Considerations of public
interest have prevailed with me to hold this office
for months past, and considerations of public in-
terest will prevail with me to hold it till the
assembling of Congress."
The Herald's version of the correspondence is
substantially the same, excepting that it makes the
President actually request Mr. Stanton to resign.
The affair causes great excitement in political
circles, and it appears to be generally apprehended

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—WiIIiam Davis, a boy
only eight years of age, was charged with stealing
2s. 3d. from a till in the shop of Mr. Arliss, grocer
and provision dealer, of No. 1, Prospect-place,
Stepney-green.

John Stokes, manager to the prosecutor, stated
that yesterday afternoon the prisoner came into the
shop and asked for a pennyworth of German pud-
ding. He was serving a lady, and he saw the pri-
soner put his arm through a crack under the counter.
He had marked 3s. 4d., and put it into the till,
which he opened, and missed 2s. 3d. He detained
the prisoner until a neighbour came in, and then
carried him to the station-house.

Edward Blanks, 696 A, said the prisoner was
brought to the station-house, and ho found upon
him 2s. 3d., all marked as the shopman had stated.
Mr. Paget asked Stokes why he marked the
money in the till.

Stokes said that a good deal of money had been
stolen through the crack, and he was afraid his
master would suspect him if he did not take mea-
sures to detect the thief who was continually
robbing the till.

The police-constable, Blanks, said that he found
a money-box in the prisoner's room containing
three sixpences for which the boy could not account.
Mr. Paget said it was most extraordinary that
the crack in the counter was suffered to exist. He
would look at it before he decided the case. Ile
remanded the prisoner for a week.

WESTMINSTER.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BAKER'S ASSISTANT.—
William Hammond, about 19 years of age, was
charged with embezzling three sums of 2s. lid.,
2s. 10d., and 6s. 6d., the monies of Francis Rad-
ford, his master.

Mr. Radford, a baker, carrying on business at
207, Ebury-street, said the prisoner had been in his
service since the middle of May last, and it was his
duty to take out the bread, receive payment for it,
and account for the sums received in the evening.
He had received three separate sums that he at
present knew of, and had not accounted for the
money.

Mrs. Cole, of 50, Westmoreland-street, said sh•
dealt with Mr. Radford, and the prisoner served
her. On August 3d she paid him 2s. lid., and on
August 10th 2s. 10d. Both of these sums he had
given the receipts for (produced.)
Mrs. Tomes, 25, Effingham-street, Pimlico, said
the prisoner received 6s. 6d. from her on August
7th. It was only in part payment of a bill, and
the prisoner put cash 6s. 6d. on the bill.
Prisoner denied receiving this sum of money,
and examined the witness to that effect, but she
was unshaken, and pointed to the prisoner's writing
on the bill.

John Clark, 144 B, who took the prisoner this
morning at half-past one at his master's, proved
that when told the charge he said nothing. On
searching him 7d. in coppers was found, and some
music-hall tickets.

Prisoner, after being duly cautioned and asked if
he had anything to say, persisted in what he had
formerly stated about not having received the
Gs. 6d.

The depositions were read over, and he was fully
committed for trial.

The Cretan Insurrection.

(Front a Correspondent of the Times.)
ATHENS, Aug. 8.
The bad success of the insurreaion in Crete
having destroyed the prospect of an immediate
union of that island with the Greek kingdom, a
deep gloom hae fallen over Greece. All the plans
and dreams of the political leaders at Athens have
been dissipated. There will be no garrisons to send
out, no rich staff appointments to bestow, and no
places with which to reward hosts of hungry em-
ployes. Yet in one important point the manoeuvres
of the Greek Government have been attended with
complete success. The cry for foreign intervention
on the ground of humanity has been listened to by
the Cabinets of the Continent, and France, Russia,
and Italy, persuaded that humanity ought to pre-
vail over every political consideration, have sent
ships to Crete to carry off all the Christian families
in Sphakia who may desire to leave the island. At
first Omar Pasha objected to this act of intervention,
as tending to injure the cause of humanity by pro-
longing
hostilities ; but he subsequently accorded a
tacit consent to the measures adopted by the French
Admiral.

ought to have been served, not with one summons,
but three summonses. lie did not think the objec-

Mr. Knox promised to do so.

WESTMINSTER.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BAKER'S ASSISTANT.—
William Hammond, about 19 years of age, was
charged with embezzling three sums of 2s. lid.,
2s. 10d., and Gs. Gd., the monies of Francis Rad-
ford, his master.

Mr. Radford, a baker, carrying on business at
207, Ebury-street, said the prisoner had been in his
service since the middle of May last, and it was his
duty to take out the bread, receive payment for it,
and account for the sums received in the evening.
He had received three separate sums that he at
present knew of, and had not accounted for the
money.

Mrs. Cole, of 50, Westmoreland-street, said she
dealt with Mr. Radford, and the prisoner served
her. On August 3d she paid him 2s. Id., and on
August 10th 2s. 10d. Both of these sums he had
given the receipts for (produced.)
Mrs. Tomes, 25, Effingham-street, Pimlico, said
the prisoner received Gs. Gd. from her on August
7th. It was only in part payment of a bill, and
the prisoner put cash Gs. Gd. on the bill.
Prisoner denied receiving this sum of money,
and examined the witness to that effect, but she
was unshaken, and pointed to the prisoner's writing
on the bill.

John Clark, 144 B, who took the prisoner this
morning at half-past one at his master's, proved
that when told the charge he said nothing. On
searching him 7d. in coppers was found, and some
music-hall tickets.

Prisoner, after being duly cautioned and asked if
he had anything to say, persisted in what he had
formerly stated about not having received the
Gs. 6d.

The depositions were read over, and he was fully
committed for trial.

Deducting the sums payable on demand, or at an early
maturity, it will be found that thorealised assets above set
forth amount to £2,897,856 10s. 3d., and the Proprietors
will observe that of this amount £177,680, their paid-up
capital, is set apart exclusively for them; .E 1,738,661 16s. 6d.
exclusively for the policyholders, and £981,514 135.91. for
both. This last item forms the provision for the present
bonus, and the accumulating fund for future bonuses and
expenses, and it is recommended accordingly that £208,774
be now appropriated for immediate distribution, leaving
£772,740 13s 9d. to accumulate, and also to meet the reduc-
tions of premium in respect of the policies transferred by
the National Mercantile Assurance Society, the first of
which reductions, it may be remembered, is to take place
in 1868.
The share of the present distribution pertaining to the
proprietors will be paid to them, with the dividend, early
in October. The portion to be allotted to the policyholders
will be determined as quickly as possible, and notices of
the addition made in each case despatched to them ; but
this process will necessarily occupy considerable time.
Meanwhile some idea may be formed of the amount of these
reversionary additions by an examination of the subjoined
table, which exhibits them in the instance of assurances
twenty years old, effected on lives of various ages at com-
mencement of the risk.

ment the mass of misery and the amount of demo-
ralisation which this emigration will render both
intolerable and irremediable unless wise measures be
taken while there is yet time.
Reports are spread whenever the Austrian
steamer arrives from Crete of victories gained by
the insurgents in order to keep up the hopes of the
Greeks. But the feeling that the insurrection has
failed and that, for the present at least, the hope of
union must be abandoned, is spreading in spite of
the endeavours of the Government to prevent it,
and this feeling is causing dissatisfaction among the
people and alarm to the present Ministry. It would,
however, be very unjust to render the Cabinet of
Mr. Koumoundouros responsible for evils which
have resulted from pursuing a line of policy im-
posed on the Government by the people. A discon-
tented people, however, which made success a
necessity in the course it dictated, may now prove
very unjust to a Ministry which has been unable to
command, and, it may safely be said, even to deserve
success. The dilemma caused by the expenditure
of money, overstraining political force, and sur-
exciting national hopes in Crete, Thessaly, and
Epirus, is now said in every coffeehouse in Athens
to be internal ruin or war with Turkey. Ruin
seems to mean an empty treasury, which, consider-
ing the manner iu which the Greek Government
has been employing its resources for the last
two years, might turn out to be a blessing to the
country. With regard to war with Turkey. It is
only supposed that such a war would save Greece
from worse than financial ruin by rendering foreign
intervention an immediate necessity. Foreign in-
terference would, in the opinion of many, efface the
black spots, moral, financial, administrative, and
military, which now deface the political prospects of
Greece. The Ministry is accused by some and
praised by others for having made some demon-
strations of an intention to revive movements on
the Thessalian frontier ; but the resources of Go-
vernment are exhausted, the confidence of the
nation in its military and political leaders is shaken,
and the Turks have already taken the alarm, and
are ready for any event.

PARK-LANE.

Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the First Commis-
sioner of Works whether, in order to give greater facilities
for the circulation of traffic and relieve the present over-
crowded thoroughfare of Park-lane, ho would endeavour
to obtain her Majesty's consent for cabs to cross the corner
of Hyde Park from the gate at Hyde Park-corner to Stan-
hope-gate, in a similar manner as cabs are now per-
mitted to cross Hyde Park from Victoria-gate to
Prince's-gate.
Lord J. MANNERS said ho had received no represen-
tations that there was too little traffic at the Stanhope-
gate. The traffic was too great in the other direction, and
he did not think it would be advisable to interfere with
the existing arrangements. Her Majesty had given her
assent to the proposal for the widening of Park-lane,
which would give much greater facilities to the carriage
traffic in that neighbourhood, and it was only the unfor-
tunate difference that had sprung up between the Metro-
politan Board of Works and the Corporation of the City
of London which prevented the improvements being com-
menced.
Mr. AYRTON asked whether the very rich but very
much under-assessed parish of St. George, Hanover-
square, had been applied to to contribute to the cost of the
improvement.
Lord J. MANNERS replied in the negative, as the cost
of making the improvement WAS to bo
tinuation of the coal tax. paid for by a con

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—WiIIiam Davis, a boy
only eight years of age, was charged with stealing
2s. 3d. from a till in the shop of Mr. Arliss, grocer
and provision dealer, of No. 1, Prospect-place,
Stepney-green.

John Stokes, manager to the prosecutor, stated
that yesterday afternoon the prisoner came into the
shop and asked for a pennyworth of German pud-
ding. He was serving a lady, and he saw the pri-
soner put his arm through a crack under the counter.
He had marked 3s. 4d., and put it into the till,
which he opened, and missed 2s. 3d. He detained
the prisoner until a neighbour came in, and then
carried him to the station-house.

Edward Blanks, 696 A, said the prisoner was
brought to the station-house, and he found upon
him 2s. 3d., all marked as the shopman had stated.
Mr. Paget asked Stokes why he marked the
money in the till.

Stokes said that a good deal of money had been
stolen through the crack, and he was afraid his
master would suspect him if he did not take mea-
sures to detect the thief who was continually
robbing the till.

The police-constable, Blanks, said that he found
a money-box in the prisoner's room containing
three sixpences for which the boy could not account.
Mr. Paget said it was most extraordinary that
the crack in the counter was suffered to exist. He
would look at it before he decided the case. He
remanded the prisoner for a week.

Intelligence received here from Athens to the
10th of August states that the Cretan Insurrec-

Consuls of its intention to issue letters of marque
for the equipment of privateers. The Cretan pri-
vateers were to carry a white flag, with a red raven,
and the motto " Crete." The removal of the Cretan
families from the island by French, Russian, and
Italian vessels continued. The insurgents still held
out, and the Turks had withdrawn front Sphakia.
Omar Pacha was greatly dissatisfied at the removal
of the Cretan families, and had asked permission to
leave the island and return to Constantinople.

METROPOLITAN DISTRICT.

The half-yearly general meeting was held yester-
day, at the Westminster Palace llotel—the Earl of
Devon in the chair.
The CIIAIMIAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that there had been no serious interrup-
tion to the works in consequence of the difficulties
which had attended the placing the debentures and
securities of the company, owing to the depression in
the money market, and the delay in getting posses-
sion of the land. Every confidence was entertained
by the directors in the success of the railway, and
their opinions were based on the very large and
increasing traffic of the Metropolitan Railway Com-
pany. The paucity of funds had caused difficulties
between the directors and the contract s, but they
had received the advice and co-operation of Mr.
Parson, the chairman of the Metropolitan Railway,
