DIBARKATION OF TROOPS.

Mr. E. MILLER asked the Secretary of State for War
whether it was true that the depot companies of the 98th
Regiment were ordered to embark at Tilbury Fort,
about the middle of April last, to proceed by sea for
Portsmouth, and were two days and nights on the voyage,
instead of proceeding by railway in six or seven
hours ; and, whether it was true that on board the
transport, though conveying two and three hundred
persons, there was . no medical man ; that one of
the 98th Regiment broke his leg during the voyage, and
remained with the limb unset till his arrival at Ports-
mouth ; and that the officers of the regiment on their arrival
were exposed to great inconv enhance from no quarters
having been provided for them ?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the question was founded on
very exaggerated statements. The number of troops only
amounted to 196, and they were at sea less than twenty
hours. The reason why there was no medical man on
board was that it was not usual to have the services of a
medical man for such a short passage. It was, unfortunately,
true that one of the men met with an accident, but the
limb was set within two hours after the mishap. It was
a mistake to say that no quarters were prepared for the
officers.

cially in England, before the opinions of the ruling
classes penetrate in some shape or other into the
body of the people. The growing, speculative
unbelief of the intellectual classes, and the practi-
cal heathenism of the lower orders in every city
and town of the country, are driving the mass
of the people, which lies between these two ex-
tremes, in the same fatal direction. Catholics have
a deeply-responsible part to take in such a national
emergency. They alone will have to hold the
standard of the Christian faith before the eyes of
the nation. They must be true to their trust.
Now is the time of preparation for the contest
and the inevitable divisions. Let, at least, all
Catholics be united in mind and heart in obedience
to the voice of authority, which is ever speaking,
and to the infallible guiding hand of the Vicar of
Christ. Let us firmly put aside all such as seek
to sow divisions for divisions' sake, to.create parties,
to compromise truth, to play the enemy's game—
mere party-men who take up grave questions with
unmeaning hands, and drop them again, as soon as
the purpose of the moment is served. When-
ever the contest really comes, such men, of waver-
ing minds and uncertain principles, will be blown
like chaff before the storm, and their dispersion
will leave the Catholics of these kingdoms, what
they now in reality are, strong in the unity of t heir
faith, loyal to their bishops, not in profession only,
but in deed, and joyfully obedient to the infallible
authority of the Pope, howsoever or wheresoever
expressed.

MURDER AT WHITECLIAPEL.

Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner,
received information last night of the murder o -a
carman, named Charles Crackett, aged 39 years.

It appears that the deceased was walking along
the Whitechapel-road, on Monday night, when he
was knocked down by two men, and stabbed
through the head with a large knife. The unfortu-
nate man's cries brought assistance to the spot,
when the deceased was found to be lying on the
pavement in an insensible state, and covered with
blood. He was at once picked up and was con-
veyed to the London Hospital, when Mr. Adams,
the house-surgeon, found that he had received a
severe stab wound on the scalp, in which was the
part of a blade of a steel knife, and before a magis-
trate could be sent for to take his deposition the
unfortunate man expired. An inquest is expected
to be held this evening.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN AND MIDLAND.
The following were the three alternative prouosi-
tions made by the London and North- Western Rail-
way Company with the view of inducing the Mid-
land Company to become occupiers jointly with
them of the Lancaster and Carlisle line, before the
Midland Company applied to Parliament for the
Settle and Carlisle Railway Act :
"1. That the Midland Company shall join the
London and North-Western Company on terms of
perfect equality in the responsibilities and profits of
the Lancaster and Carlisle lease, the line being
managed by a joint committee as previously pro-
posed, both companies having power to work
and use for all traffic without restriction, paying
into a joint fund the receipts on local traffic, and a
mileage proportion of the receipts on through
traffic, each of the companies being at liberty to
coarrrYsettalneyd
without compulsory division.

but
"2. That the Midland Company take upon them-
selves the entire working of the Ingleton branch of
the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, paying for the
same, by way of rent, a sum equal to 5 per cent.
upon the cost, the London and North-Western
Company giving running powers between the Junc-
tion near Low Gill and Carlisle, on payment of a
mileage proportion of the receipts to be agreed on, or
settled by arbitration in case of difference, less 20
per cent. for working expenses, with access to and
use (as far as the London and North-Western Com-
pany can give it) of the Carlisle Joint Station, on
terms to be agreed upon or settled by arbitration.
" 3. That the Carlisle line should be used in the
same way as the Great Western and London and
North-Western use the Shrewsbury and Hereford
line,—viz., that each company pay a moiety of the
rent, local receipts going in reduction thereof, and
each company using the line free and without any
restriction."
With regard to the controversy in respect to this
matter, it was alleged by the Midland Company
that the Act for making the line from Settle to
Carlisle was applied for by them in consequence of
1 " the London and North-Western Company having
I refused to concede the necessary facilities for the
use of their Lancaster and Carlisle line ;" while the
London and North-Western Company stated that
the negotiation went off solely in consequence of the
Midland Company's refusal to submit to arbitra-
tion any difference that might arise about the rates
to be charged upon competitive traffic to and from
Carlisle.

BRAZIL.

RIO DE JANEIRO, April 23.
Dates from the seat of war are to the 12th inst.
Active operations had not yet commenced, and
much sickness had prevailed in the army, espe-
cially intermittent fevers. At one time there
were no less than 11,000 men in the hospitals.
As the season advanced, however, the declining
and many of the sick were returning to the camp.
The diplomatic notes exchanged between the
Argentine Government and the American Minis-
ter respecting the proffered mediation of the latter
have been publishel at Buenos Ayres. It now
appears that the proposals of the United States
Government were not of the nature asserted by the
Paraguayans ; the Cabinet at Washington did no-
thing more than offer its good offices in case the
belligerents should think proper to ask for then).
The offer was refused by the Argentine Govern-
went, in a note written in concert with the allies, in
which their grievances were clearly and fully set
forth, and declared to be of such a nature that they
would only be settled by force of arms, which was
the only means of expelling the dictator from
Paraguay.
The Imperial Government }oafs not yet given their

answer, but it will undoubtedly be couched more or

Less in the same terms.

The first preliminary sitting of the House of
Deputies took place on the 15th inst. The validity
of the elections of some districts is contested.

Mr. Scully, the editor of the Anglo-Brazilian
Times:who had been condemned to three months' im-
prisonment for a verbal libel on the chief of police,
has been pardoned by the Crown.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO.
Yesterday afternoon a scullers' race for the above amount
took place from Putney to Mortlake, in outriggers, the
competitors being Thomas King, the ex-pugilist, and Frank
Kilsby, a waterraan. Of King and his doings as a pugilist
and a rowing man the public need no reminding, while of
Kilsby alilhat can be said is that he has rowed several
scullers' races, with varied success, against indifferent per-
formers. He trained at Putney, King being trained at
Barnes. Two steamers accompanied the race, with large
parties on board, betting opening at 5 to 2 on King, and
closing at 7 to 4; but the layers of the odds were miserably
deceived, for Kilsby, who won the station, came right
away from the start, cleared his man in 100 yards, and
King, rowing very indifferently, never had a chance, be-
ing beaten by six or eight lengths. Mr. J. Ireland was re-
feree, and the pilots were Drewitt for King, and Kelley for
Kilsby.

We have authority to cmtradict the statement,
which appeared in a telegram supplied by ➢ir. neuter,
that their Royal Highnesses the Priuco of Wales and the
Duke of Ediaburgh Were present at the Chantilly Races
on Sunday last.

A SZRIOUS Or FENDER.—John Smith, a labouring man,
was charged with a series of offences committed in suc-

Mr. Dollonson, a cab proprietor, said that 1..4t. List night
he wee passing home tu rough Rochester -row, Westmin-
ster, when the defendant suddenly came in front of him
and struck him in the mouth.
Mr. Safe—What for ?

Complainant—l am sure I can't tell you. Ho is a per-
fect stranger to me, and nothing was said—no provocation
was given of any description. He had two more men with
him, and, thinking they might have other intentions, I
walked across, directly I was sti tick, to the station. When

„ ..
I got there I found other pooplo laying complaints against
him.

Defendant—I am very sorry.
Mr. Selfe—There are no less than ten charges against
you. Six different people have signed the sheet.
Complainant—l was about the last ;he had struck the
others the same as me.
Defendant—Did 1 strike you ?

Complainant—Of course you did, or I should not have
charged you.
_. _

Defendant—Well, I am very sorry some of them who
complained wero women.
Mr. Selfo—That makes it all the worse.
Alfred Lover, 55 B—One of the females was smothered
in blood. People came to the station to complain, and
while they were doing so I heard a cry of "Police," and
found the complainant coming to the station. Defendant
was very drunk, and gave no explanation. None of the
other complainants aro present hero this morning.
Defendant—Well, I was drunk, and don't know any-
thing about it, that's all.
Mr. Selfe—You seem to think it a trifle to assault ten
people, but I can tell you it is not. You are fined 205., or
ten days.

MELBOURNE, April 27

The Legislature and tho public of Victoria una-
nimously condemn the arrangements agreed upon at
the Inter-colonial Postal Conference.
A considerable increase is shown in the gold

returns.

The shipments of gold to England during the
month amount to 80,5000 z.
The Postal Conference of the Australian Colonies
has proposed that the three routes, via Gallo,
Panama, and Torres Straits, be maintained. That
the Imperial Government should terminate the pre-
sent contract with the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, and pay half the subsidy for the other
routes. This subsidy is placed at £400,000, and
is allotted as follows :

... 50,000
... 24,000

This proposal is supported by the returns of the
various custom-houses. The imports into the six
Colonies during the year 1865, as valued at the
different ports of entry, amounted to thirty-five
millions sterling, by far the greater portion of which
went to support the manufactures of the Uuite
Kingdom. The exports, principally gold and wool,
during the same period exceeded 30 millions.

TILL, NEW .eI2IIPIHTIIEATRE INIIOLBORLV.

On Saturday next the new Royal Amphitheatre
erected in llolborn, on the site of the Metropolitan
Horse Bazaar, opposite the Inns of Court Hotel,
will be thrown open to the public. London has
long been without an Equestrian Establishment,
properly so-called, of any kind whatever. The
successors of Duero w and Batty have deserted the
scene of their triumphs ; and Astley's, as a Na-
tional Amphitheatre, has, for some considerable pe-
riod, ceased to exist. That no attempt has been
made to supply its place is a peculiarity to a city
whose enterprise is world-renowned. And this 10
the more remarkable when the inclinations of
the people for equine amusements are considered,
for in no country are they held in higher esteem.
The interior of the new amphitheatre exceeds
anything of the kind hitherto seen in the metropolis,
and while it will vie with any building in London
for the beauty and elegance of its decoration, its
arrangements for the comfort and safety of the
public exceeds that of almost every other place of
amusement open. The entire span of theatre is 76ft.
in the clear ; the whole length is 130 ft. The width
from box to box is 60ft., length from proscenium to
box is 68ft. The Royal box is situated in the centre
of the house, facing the stage, and the retiring
room for same is immediately behind. There are
no stage boxes whatever, and the dress circle 1s
arranged at the side where the private boxes are
usually placed, putting the private boxes in front of
the house. There is, in addition, one row of stalls
in front of the private boxes entirely round the
house ; these stalls hold 200 people, the seats for
which are so managed that as persons rise t°
allow others to pass, the seats fold against the back
self -acting, so giving an additional space of lft. 6in•
for passing room. There are 26 private boxes. The
pit is divided off into 550 numbered seats, with
ample standing room for over 200 persons ; the am -
phitheatre stalls amuunt to 700, and 500 ordinary
sittings ; altogether, when full, the house will com-
fortably accommodate about 2,000 persons. The
auditorium is lighted by a magnificent crystal son
light, containing 960 burners, furnished by the cele-
brated firm of Defries and Sons, the effect of which
is brilliant in the extreme. The ventilation of the
entire building is completely provided for by large
air-shafts in different parts of the theatre ; the
staircases are of iron and stone, and hydrants are
fixed on every floor as a protection against
fire. The arena is 120 feet in circumference,
and although the depth of the stage is not
very large, yet it will be found amply sufficient for
L the style of entertainments proposed to be given
prior to the horsemanship. Every arrangement
has been carried out in the most liberal manner,
and the enterprising proprietors have our best wishes
for the success of their large venture. With the,
, artists engaged and other matters of detail we shall
deal with on another opportunity.
