70 THE EDITOR OF "7IIE SUN."

SIR,--As a writer whose pen has for many years
been more or less actively engaged in the cause of
charity, I may claim a corner in your paper to
recommend the following case to the kind and
Christian sympathies of a British public, not with-
out a hope that, as hitherto, my appeal will be pro-
ductive of the desired result.

The facts are few and simple. Three or four
years back an English lady, of the highest respecta-
bility, having experienced a reverse of fortune,
rented a house in a favourite Froneh watering-
place on the coast for the purpose of letting apart-
ments during the summer. The enterprise was in
a fair way of succeeding when the cholera broke
out in 1866, producing disastrous consequences, a
panic, the flight of the English visitors, and the
complete collapse of " the season."
Among the severest sufferers by this unlooked-
for calamity was the lady for whom I venture this,.,
appeal: her pecuniary resources depended prin-
cipally upon letting her house, and last year failing
in this, noth withstanding her prudence, economy,
and intelligent activity, she finds herself involved
in debt for arrears of rent and other expenses of
her establishment. For the liquidation of these
various claims, now imperiously demanded, no funds
are in hand or forthcoming, and in view of the
crushing embarrassment, the break-up of her estab-
lishment,. the scattering of her connection, and the
absolute loss of her home, a few friends, informed
of her position, and justly esteeming her character,
have suggested an appeal to the generosity of Eng
lishmen, in the sanguine belief that a country-
woman in distress shall not be permitted to succumb
for want of the few pounds that would extricate her
from difficulty, and reasonably enable her to count
on success in the coming season.
The need is urgent, admitting of no delay, if ruin
is to be averted; by the end of May the creditors
must be paid, and the assistance of Christian charity,
of the warm heart and the open hand, is most
earnestly entreated, to accomplish this end. Au
Englishwoman, a courageous and honourable-
minded lady, in declining health and preyed upon
by cruel auxi4ity as to her position and future, sees
no chance, humanly speaking, of maintaining her
ground but in the generous assistance of her com-
patriots ; and to that assistance, promptly aceordeol,
I commit in confidence her cause. Needless to add
that any help afforde,l in this hour of extremity will
be most gratefully acknowledged not only by the
recipient, but by her sympathising friends, among
whom I desire to be remembered.

Apologising for the length of this statement, and
thanking- you for its insertion in your valuable
columns, I am, Mr. Editor, your very obediens.

;servant,

logs, and body. In trying to save her face, she received
many kicks on her arms, which she exhibited. They
were contused and swollen. He continued to kick her
until she was quite insensible.

The prisoner, who was in a state of great excitement,
said that his wife was faithless to him, and had driven him
mad.

The wife denied that she had ever given cause to her
husband to be jealous of her.
The prisoner (loudly)—I caught her in bed with a Jew
now that's the truth.

Wife—Oh, you wicked man !
A police-constable said the prisoner was intoxicated
when he took him into custody yesterday, and was exceed-
ingly' violent.

The prisoner said he worked for Mr. IS urges, the en-
gineer, and that he was a hard working man. His wife
encouraged the visits of other men while he was from
home, and she visited them.
The magistrate sail inquiries must be made into the
truth or falsehood of the prisoner's allegations relating to
his wife. If what he said was true, his punishment
would be measured accordingly ; but if it was Ldse, h.•
was only aggravating the case. Ho remanded the
prisoner.

cap, the triangles, and the gibbet upon unoffending
bishops, priests, and people, as they then were—
would not the flame of insurrection be more widely
spread in 1868 than it was in 1798 ? Why, then,
we ask, keep such laws upon the statute book
of England? Why retain laws there that could
not possibly be enforced without producing univer-
sal insurrection, and, perhaps, in the present state
of Europe, successful revolution, in Ireland? The
grievances of that country are admitted by states-
men of all parties at the present day, and the
sooner England removes them the better for her-
self and the safety of the empire, as we hope to
demonstrate in another article on this subject.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Parts is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.15 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£3
113. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold 10
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a$
60 days' sight is about 1091 per cent. At this rate there ilk
no profit on the importation of gold from the United States,

THE REFORM BILL.

Mr. F. GOLDSMID asked the Chancellor of the Ex-
Chequer whether it would not be the effect of the third
clause of the Bill for Amending the Representation of the
People to enable any number of joint occupiers who may
be rattld and pay the rates in respect of any one house in a
Vw+."Ough to be registered as electors ; and whether this
bperation of the clause was in accordance with the inten-
tion of the Government ?

The CIIANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was
net intended by the bill to allow any number of joint oc-
eepiers to be registered as electors. That, he apprehended,
.was not the effect of the clause as it stood in the bill.
'ere was no habitation franchise, but a residential one,
the rates being paid by the master of the house. If the
hen. member thought otherwise it was quite competent for
• him to raise the question at the proper time.

YOUNG CHAMBERS AND BRIGHT.

The race between Robert Chambers'of Wallsend and
Bright of Newcastle, for £lOO, in open boats, came off on
the Tyne yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. The course was
from the High Level Bridge to the Meadows [louse, a dis-
tance of about a mile and three-quarters. The liver was
not so smooth as on Monday. The men were in their
boats at six o'clock, but another hour and aquarter elapsed
before a start was made, during which time the tide had
turned, thus adding to the work before the men. At last
an even start was effected, and with the first few strokes
Chambers got a little advance, both keeping close to the
quay, and fears were entertained of a foul. Bright here
began to work right earnestly, and came quickly up to his
opponent, and obtained a lead which off Skinner's Burn
had become one of fully a length. Both continued to ruw
well, but Bright increased his advantage at every stroke,
and eventually won by fire or six lengths. Up to Tues-
day morning Bright was favourite, but at the start Cham-
bers became the favourite at 6 to 4 offered on him, there
being few takers on him at that.

Ifonora.

The complainant, who was in a deplorable condition,
with her mouth cut, her file() contused, and her eyes
blackened, said she had been warned to the prisoner only
three months, and that iu the course of that time he had
frequently ill-used her, and she did not know what for,
except that he was very jealous of her. He came home
on Monday night very tipsy, and after abusing her
dragged her out of bed, and beat her. lie also
pulled her along the floor, kicked her on the mouth
and knocked three of her teeth out. Yesterday (Toes-
day) afternoon he again came home intoxicated and
again dragged her out of bed, which she had never left
since the preceding night, and kicked her about the head?

SALE OF BLOOD STOCK AT YORK.

Mr. R. Johnson offered several lots for sale yesterday
(Tuesday) at Nelson's yard, but the only one actually dis-

yearlings and brood mares of the late Mr. C. Peck were
put up, but there was no offer for them, and a pair of two-
year-olds in training met with a similar fate. Some of the
yearlings are very good-looking, particularly a colt by
Carnival out of Berezina, and Ampleforth, a colt by Thor-
manby out of Saxony. Altisidora, by Blair Athol, out of
Flours des Champs, is also a smart, racing-like filly. The
following was the only one sold :

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £5O.

Yesterday afternoon a scullers' race of a somewhat novel
character took place on the Thames, from Putney to Mort-
lake, between two watermen, named Deal and Baker, both
of Bermondsey, the conditions being that neither man
should exceed Bst 71b the day before the race. On Monday
morning, accordingly, the men weighed at the Star and
Garter, Putney, and neither exceeded the weight. Deal
is a waterman, and is 37 years of age ; he first appeared in
public 15 years ago, and has rowed some very fine races,
among his opponents being the celebrated Tom White, and
H. White, his brother. Baker is twelve years younger,
and his performances are very few. Two steamers accom-
panied the race, Mr. Charles Nevrnham having been ap-
pointed referee by the stakeholder, Bell's Life. Betting-
-6 to 4 on Deal, and 3 to 1 soon after they had ro wed half a
mile. Baker took the lead, and rowing a long, swinging
stroke, held it for half a mile, when Deal began to over-
haul him, and in spite of his determined efforts became
level at the Point. They kept together to the Dung
Wharf, where they slightly fouled, and then Deal, getting
away, led by two lengths at Hammersmith-bridge, and
ultimately won very easily.

at the instance of the recently-formed Railway

presided. Mr. Shepherd, a shareholder in the Mid-
land Company, submitted a statement in opposition
to the policy of the directors, condemning the pro-
posed amalgamation with the Glasgow and South-

ditional liability which would be incurred. Ile pro-
posed a resolution disapproving the scheme as un-
sound and likely to be disastrous, which was se-
conded by Mr. Winkworth, and carried unani-
mously. A committee, it was proposed, should be

in new lines, control the officers of the company, &c.
A resolution to this effect was carried.

The fine weather has imparted a quieter feeling to the
corn trade. Millers have supplied themselves so well of
late that they have declined making further purchases for
the present. Holders of wheat, however, were not at all
sanguine as to abundant supplies coming in for some time,
and therefore former prices wore asked. Barley and other
articles quite as dear, but little doing.

YOUNG CHAMBERS AND BRIGHT,

The race between Robert Chambers of Wallsend and
Bright of Newcastle, for £lOO, in open boats, came off on
the Tyne yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. The course was
from the High Level Bridge to the Meadows House, a dis-
tance of aboutirktnile and three-quarters. The river was
not so smooth as On Monday. The men were in their
bouts at six o'clock, but another hour and a quarter-elapsed
before a start was made, during which time the tide had
turned, thus adding to the work before the men. At lest
an even start was effected, and with the first few strokes
Chambers get a little advance, both keeping close to the
quay, and fears were entertained of a fora. Bright here
began to work right earnestly, and came quickly up to his
opponent, and obtained a lead which off Skinner's Burn
had become one of fully a length. Both continued to row
well, but Bright increased his advantage at every stroke,
and eventually won by five or six lengths. Up to Tues-
day morning Bright was favourite, but at the start Cham-
bers became the favourite at 6 to 4 offered on him, there
being few takers on him at that.

The complainant, who was in a deplorable condition,
with her mouth cut, her face contused, and her eyes
blackened, said she had been married to the prisoner only
three months, and that in the course of that time he had
frequently ill-used her, and she did not know what for,
except that he was very jealous of her. He came home
on Monday night very tipsy, and after abusing her
dragged her out of bed, and beat her. He also
pulled her along the floor, kicked her on the mouth
and knocCed three of her teeth out. Yegtorday (Tutus-

JIAMMERSMITH AND CITY.

A special general meeting of this company was
held yesterday at the Paddington station, Mr.
Foakes in the chair, to consider a bill for conferring
further powers:on the Great Western Railway Com-
pany in relation to their own underiaking and the
undertakings of other companies.
The bill which was submitted to the meeting con-
tained 156 clauses. The 98th clause provided that on
the passing of the Act the Hammersmith and City
Railway Company should be dissolved. The Great
Western and Metropolitan Company were to pay to
the shareholders of the Hammersmith and City the
following dividends :—At the rate of £5 per cent.
on the Hammersmith Companies £5 per cent. pre-
ferential capital of £60,000 (1863) ; £5 per cent.
Hammersmith Company's 5 per cent. preferential
capital of £lOO,OOO (Act 1865) ; and dividends at
the rate of £5 ss. per cent. per annum for the half-
year ending December, 1867 ; and of £5 7s. 6d.
per cent. for 1868 ; and of £5 10s. for the year
1860, and for every year thereafter on the Ham-
mersmith Company's ordinary stock of £lBB,OOO.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution approving the
bill. He said its object was to secure to the com-
pany the divfends agreed to be paid to them by the
Great Western an 1 the Metropolitan Companies.
The Hammersmith Company had in the first place
a charge on the railway itself now paying 5 per
cent., and the traffi3 of the line had greatly in-
creased during-the last year. They had beside 3 the
joint and several guarantees of the two important
companies mentioned for the payment of all the
prefererice and other dividends of the Hammersmith
Company, and in addition they would have the
power and take possession of the rents and profits of
the company in the event of the non-payment of
the rent and dividends. The agreement between
the two companies had been sealed, and would have
to be submitted pro forma to the shareholders, and
he believed at the end of three weeks from the pre-
sent time the Hammersmith Company would cease
to exist.
The bill was approved, and the meeting separated.

TILE FENIAN SENTENCES.

➢lr. GILPIN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if
his attentio❑ had been called to the revolting character of
the sentence on the Fenian convicts, that in addition to
the penalty of death by hanging, they are sentenced to be
dragged on a hurdle to the place of execution, to be deca-
pitated, and to have their bodies divided into four quarters
and placed at the disposal of her Majesty and her advisers ;
and if the law required the passing of such a sentence ;
and, if so, he would take an early opportunity of amend-
ing the law in this respect ?
Lord NAAS said the sentence for treason in the words
pronounced by judges at the recent trials of the Fenians
was set down in the 21th of Geo 111., chap. 126. The
Court had no option but to pass the sentence in the terms
of the act. It was open to the Crown to mitigate the sen-
tence; and as no Government would order the execution
of those found guilty of high treason in any way different
from that of ordinary criminals, he did not think there was
any necessity for any alteration of the law on that
subject.

yearlings and brood mares of the late Mr. C. Peck were
put up, but there was no offer for them, and a pair of two-
year-olds in training met with a similar fate. Some of the
yearlings are very good-looking, particularly a colt by
Carnival out of Berezina, and Ampleforth, a colt by Thor-
manby out of Saxony. Altisidora, by Blair Athol, out of
Flours des Champs, is also a smart, racing-like filly. The
following was tho only one sold :

SCULLERS' RACE FOR .£5O.

Yesterday afternoon a smilers' race of a somewhat novel
character took place on the Thames, from Putney to Mort-
lake, between two watermen, named Deal and Baker, both
of Bermondsey, the conditions being that neither man
should exceed Bet 71b the day before the race. On Monday
morning, accordingly, the men weighed at the Star and
Garter, Putney, and neither exceeded the weight. Deal
is a waterman, and is 37 years of age ; ho first appeared in
public 15 years ago, and has rowed some very fine races,
among his opponents being the celebrated Torn White, and
H. White, his brother. Baker is twelve years younger,
and his performances are very few. Two steamers accom-
panied the race, Mr. Charles Newnhain having been ap-
pointed referee by the stakeholder, Bell's Life. Betting-
-6 to 4 on Deal, and 3 to 1 soon after they had ro wed half a
mile. Baker took the lead, and rowing a long, swinging
stroke, held it for half a mile, when Deal began to over-
haul him, and in spite of his determined efforts became
level at the Point. They kept together to the Dung
Wharf, where they slightly fouled, and then Deal, getting
away, led by two lengths at Hammersmith-bridge, and
ultimately won very easily.

(3.) The form of claim shall have printed thereon

(6.) Where the occupier of any premises that have
been let to him free from rate has claimed to be
rated and to pay the rates, for the purpose of ac-
quiring the franchise under this act, he may deduct
