LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1866.

The grand banquet to be given to the Chance
o
of the Exchequer by the good citizens of Liverpo
has been for some time looked forward to with in.
terest. Especial curiosity was felt to bear wbai
Mr. GLADSTONE might say on the occasion, seeing
that the Ministerial Reform Bill was naturally cer-
tain to occupy a promising place in his discourse.
The festivities have passed off with great éclat and
success. Mr. GLADSTONE is still sufficiently a new
member to make his political addresses somewhat
of an event in South Lancashire, although
he has so long been known by the as-
sociations of his name with the locality, no
less than honoured for his brilliant abilities
and respected for his sympathies with the popular
sentiments. Accordingly, when the South Lan-
cashire Liberal Legislation Society determined to
hold a banquet in honour of their new representa-
tive they Were certain to obtain plenty of support,
and the large and brilliant assembly who gathered
together last evening, in the Philharmonic Hall,
gave ample testimony to the popularity of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer in his native county.
The audience were not at all likely to be disappointed
in what they were to hear. No speech of Mr.
GLADSTONE'S could fail to be, worth listening to,
and On this occasion, though he did not rise
Into his customary eloquence, be touched

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

STABBING BY A VOCALIST.—SamueI Mockford, a young
man, described as a vocalist, living in Warren-street, Fitz-
roy-square, was charged before Mr. Knox with violently
assaulting Mrs. Emma Foster, of 9, Charlton-street, Fitz-
roy-square, by stabbing her in the arm with a dinner-
knife. . _

The prosecutrix said—While out with my husband
last night, we called at the Marquis Cornwallis, Warren-
street, to have some refreshment. The prisoner came in
and called for a glass of soda-water. The landlord served
the prisoner, and left a knife on the counter. The prisoner
abused the landlord, and took up the knife from the
counter to stab at the landlord. A person came out of the
parlour and tried to prevent the prisoner using the knife,
and the prisoner then stabbed her right through the arm,
and threw the knife across the bar.

Mr. Knox—Was the prisoner drunk ?
Prosecutrix—lie was tipsy, sir. The knife went through
my shawl and dress. I went to the hospital last night and
bad my arm attended to, acid I ado co go there again wnen
I leave here. My arm is cut right through. The prisoner
is a stranger to me.
The Prisoner—l have no questions to ask. I was tipsy,
and had been out all day, and went into the public-house
to get a glass of soda-water.
_ ..

Mr. Wm. Harding, landlord of the Marquis Cornwallis,
Warren-street, said—The prisoner, about ton o'clock last
night, came into my house and called for a bottle of soda-
water, and I served him. I loft the knife on the counter,
and directly after the prisoner called me a fool. I asked
him why he did so, and he replied, " You are not only a
fool, but a fool," and he took up the knife and stabbed
over the counter at my face. A person came out of the
parlour and tried to take the knife from him, but the pri-
soner jerked his arm, and stabbed the prosecutrix in the
arm, and then threw the knife over the counter, it just
missing my daughter. The prisoner was then given into
custody.

Mr. Knox—Was he drunk or sober ?
Witness— He was a little the worse for drink, but no
so much but that he knew what he was about.

Police-constable J. Strickland, 91 E, said—About half-
past tou last night I was called to the Marquis Cornwallis
in Warren-street, and the prosecutrix gave the prisoner in
charge for stabbing her. The prisoner, who had been
drinking but was not drank, said he would fall on his knees
for mercy.

The Prisoner—l think I must have boon drunk. I have
ved in the neighbourhood four years, some time opposite

the witness's publichouso. I have no recollection of having
committed the offence. I do not know the prosecutrix, and
I have no animosity towards any one. I will make the
prosecutrix any recompense I can while her arm is bad.
Do not send me to a prison.
Mr. Knox—lt is a serious charge, and I must see the
prosecutrix out of danger before I decide in the case. I
shall remand you for a few days, and the doctor can then
rep ort in the case.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
I• leet-street, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of ARTIFICIAL TEETH. fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so 'Perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

THE SERPENTINE.

Mr. U. LEWIS asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether his attention had been called to the practice of
permitting
sheep to be washed in the Serpentine in the
same spot where bathing was allowed ; and whether it
was true that last year an express promise was given that
the pollution of the water from such improper practice
should not be again sanctioned ?
Mr. COWPER said such a practice was contrary to the
regulations, and had taken place without permission.

THE FEN lAN CONSPIRACY.
Lord DUNSANY asked her Majesty's Ministers whe-
ther they had received any information of the circumstances
under which a man named Cryar or Bryar was, on the 7th
ult., sentenced to two months' imprisonment, for the seri-
ous offence of endeavouring too
s
two soldiers
from their allegiance, and engage them in the Fenian
conspiracy. Ile drew attention to the importance of any
matter connected with the movement of disaffection which
had sprung up in Ireland amongst a portion of the deluded
people of that country. Re did not attach any blame to
the Irish Executive in reference to this subject. He be-
lieved there was no barrack in Ireland in which attempts
had not been made to seduce soldiers from their alle-
giance, and the matter became on 3 of a very serious cha-
racter. He contended that in the present case the pu nis h rnent
was far too lenient for the grave nature of the offerce
which had been committed. He referred to an act of
George 111., by which the offence of endeavouring to wean
soldiers or sailors from their allegiance was punishable by
death without benefit of clergy. The offence was after-
wards made a felony and severely punished. He under-
stood that the attempts on the soldiery by the Fenians were
very extensive. He considered therefore that it would be
most impolitic, under these circumstances, to relax the
stringency of the law in regard to those convicted of such
an offence.
Lord DUFFERIN said he concurred in many of the ob-
servations of the noble lord, and he thought the punish-
ment in the case in question was by no means sufficiently
severe. Bat the Irish Government were not to be made
answerable for the acts of magistrates at petty sessions.
When the case was reported by the inspector of con-
stabulary at the Castle, instructions were sent to the place
where the prisoner was confined directing that he should
be sent to Dublin for trial, but the magistrates had already
passed their sentence.
The Landed Improvement (Ireland) Bill and the Drain-
age Maintenance (Ireland) Bill were severally read a second
time.

CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. G. LANGTON asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the Government had deter-
mined what compensation should be given to owners of
stock for loss on cattle slaughtered by order of inspectors
previous to the passing of the Cattle Plague Act ?
Sir G. GREY said that 300 papers had been sent out to
different places to obtain information relative to the value
of the cattle slaughtered. Only about half of those papers
had been returned, while only one-seventh of those sent to
Scotland had been received, and therefore he was not in a
position at present to answer the question.
Mr. BEACH asked the Secretary of State for War whe-
ther it was true that large quantities of hay had been pur-
chased from infected districts in Cheshire, and sent to Al-
dershot and to other places ?
Mr. HEADLAM said the contractors, like all other
persons,were liable for any infringement of the act of Par-
Eminent. The Government had no knowledge of the cir-
cumstance to which the right hon. gentleman had alluded.
Sir J. PAKINGTO/51 said he had given no notice of the
question he was about to put, so that if the right hon. gen-
tleman was not prepared to give him an answer he
would not at present press it. He wished to know, con-
sidering the extraordinary loss that occurred in Chester by
the cattle plague, whether GOvernment intended to take
any particular step with respect to that part of the
country ?

Sir G. GREY said he had received numerous represen-
tations from Chester, and a loan, spread over a period of
30 years, was asked for on the security of the county rate.
In the event of the Government being satisfied that the
instalments would be paid, he intended to submit such a
proposal for the sanction of the house.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

In reply to Mr. 0. STANLEY,

Mr. C. FORTESCUE said only seven cases of cattle
plague had occurred in Ireland, and they had been on three
farms in the county Down. Lung disease had, it was
true, prevailed, and whore any cases had been reported to
the Government properly qualified persons were sent to
examine into the matter. No fresh cases of cattle plague have
taken place. It was to be hoped that the disease would
not extend to Ireland.

ARRIVAL OF THE CHINA.
(Via Roche's Point.)
NEW YORK, May 22 (Evening).
Mr. Seward has delivered p speech at Auburn, in
which he defended the course of the President re-
specting the recent vetoes. His plan of reconstruc-
tion was the only practical one yet suggested.
Congress indiscriminately grouped loyal and dis-
loyal by excluding loyal Southern representatives.
The differences between the Executive Congress
were, he said, less serious than was supposed, and
need not cause the disruption of the Republican
party. The general tone of Mr. Seward's speech
was mediatorial.
The President and the members of the Cabinet
were serenaded last night by the National Union
Club. The President responded briefly, thanking
the club for this demonstration of approval of his
conduct as a public servant ; the day was not dis-
tant when the people would be satisfied that they
were right. Mr. Stanton delivered a long speech,
in which he said the President was cordially sup-
ported by the Cabinet. The plan of reconstruction
proposed by the Committee in Congress was unwise
and impolitic. Mr. M'Culloch also warmly approved
the President's policy, and said he would eagerly
embrace any plan of reconstruction better than his
own whenever presented.
The House of Representatives has passed the
Bankrupt Bill.
The Connecticut Legislature has elected General
Perry (Republican) as Senator.
The Arew York herald states that Chili, Peru,
Bolivia, and Ecuador are endeavouring to effect an
alliance with Venezuela, in order to secure a base
of operations from which they could invade
Cuba.
The China takes out $3,000,000 in gold.
The Collector of Customs at Rouse's Point seized
1,700 muskets on Friday last supposed to belong to
the Fenians. Eighty-seven cases of arms belonging
to the Senate faction have been seized at Erie,
Pennsylvania.
The report that the Fenian circles at Washington
had resolved to support Stephens is denied. Stephens
is said to be receiving subscriptions from numerous
circles.

THE BOMBARDMENT OF CALLIO.—RE-
PULSE OF THE SPANISH FLEET.
NEw YORK, May 24 (Evening.)
Advices received here from Callao announce
that the Spanish 'fleet, on the 2d inst., attempted to
bombard Callao, but were repulsed, after a fight of
four hours by the shore batteries. Two ironclads
were disabled, and Admiral Nunez was wounded.
The Peruvians lost 60 men killed, including the
Secretary of War, and 120 wounded.

The Late Defeat of Ministers.

(From the Law Times of to-day)

A majority of ten instructed the committee on the
Reform Bill to make provision for the better pre-
vention of bribery and corruption. The Govern-
ment bad the best of the argument, that the subjects
of bribery and franchise have never yet been treated
as one, and that it would be better for both to deal
with them separately. But it marks the disposition
of the House towards the bill, that it accepted even
so irrational a proposition because it was likely to
delay, if not to destroy, a measure which the great
majority of the House detest and dread even while
they vote for it.

But the motion gave rise to a short debate on
bribery and its remedies, which will at once
interest and amuse our readers who are behind the
scenes and know the truth of the matter. Mr.
Gladstone affected to doubt its prevalence, and de-
sired the further evidence to be procured by the
commissioners that are about to inquire into the
convicted boroughs. But more proof is not needed.
The plain fact is that bribery has grown enormously
of late years ; that it is rapidly extending ; that it
prevails more or less in every borough in England
where there is not some predominant interest, or
the combined resistance of the honest electors for-
bids resort to it by making its object unattainable.

Mr. Staniland stated that he knew a constituency
in which 750 out of 1,000 would not vote without a
fee, and that the price was £35 per vote. The case is
by no means uncommon. The alarming part of it
is the tendency to spread. Wheresoever it is once
planted it thrives apace, and cannot be rooted out.
He who has cnce taken a bribe looks for it ever
after ; and his neighbours soon follow the example.
Even if the voter has a conscience and is reluctant
to sell himself, a wife or a daughter will crave for
a new dress like that which neighbour Smith's wife
or daughter was well known to have bought with
the sovereigns received in exchange for his vote.

But how is this formidable mischief to be put
down ? An extended franchise will but extend
it. Penalties are not enforced ; and contrivances
for evasion will keep pace with any stringency of
statutes. Mr. Staniland makes a good suggestion.
I-Ie says, let disfranchisement for life follow a con-
viction for bribery. But more effective yet would
be the further provision that when a member is con-
victed for bribery the petitioner shall take the seat,
provided he polls a certain small proportion of the
constituency. We agree with Sir George Grey
that severity of penalties has gone as far as it would
be practicable to carry it. We should now try to
make it the interest of candidates not to bribe.

The subject is of great and pressing importance ;
but it demands separate discussion, and distinct
legislation. It cannot properly form a part of a
Reform Bill.

THE GOOD-lUTURED MISBAND.—The Belgian' Vice-
Consul made a very singular application to Mr. Paget, on
behalf of a respectable man, a native of Belgium, who ac-
companied him,- and who wanted his wife.
gr. Paget—Where is she ?

The Vice-Consul.—ln your district, sir. The man,
who is a subject .of my King, was married 19 years ago,
and his wife eloped from him five years ago, and has been
living with another man ever since. The husband has
made a long and diligent search for his guilty wife, and
and has just discovered her. He wantsher to return with
him to Belgium. He asks your worship's interference.
Mr. Paget said he had no power to interfere in the
matter. He was not a ittle surprised to hear of a man
disposed to receive his wife again after she had been living
in a stato of adultery with another man for five yearn
The Vice-Consul said the man loved not wisely, but
too well, and was very fond of his wife.. .
Mr. Paget--So it appears, and the affection is not mutual,
for she is fond of another man. I think the husband bad
better try and forget her. She is not worth the trouble he
is taking for her.

The Vice-Consul asked if the police could interfere and
take the woman away from the man she was living with.
Mr. Paget—No ; the police had no jurisdiction over frail
wives. The only remedy here is an action in the Court of
Probate and Divorce for a restitution of conjugal rights. It,
is a roundabout mode of proceeding, but there is no other
course open to the injured husband.
The Vice-Consul thanked the Magistrate, and retired
with the good-natured Benedict.

, WESTMINSTER.
SUPPOSRD CONVICTION Or AN INNOCENT MAN AND
FREE PARDON.-Mr. Selfe, on taking his seat upon the
bench, this morning, drew attention to the following
matter, which exhibits extraordinary peculiarities :
Months ago Dominique Carroll, a youth, was charged
with three others with sacrilege at St. Jude's Church,
Chelsea, and Committed for trial, protesting his innocence.
A witness on his behalf, whose evidence was most mate-
rial, was not called upon the trial, and Dominique Carroll
was convicted and sentenced to 7 years' transportation, as
ho was at that time on a ticket of leave. About
a month ago ono of the real culprits in the
sacrilege, believing himself at the point of death, de-
clared he could not leave the earth in peace without con-
fessing that Carroll was innocent. This was immediately
communicated to his friends, and it was stated that Carroll
was working hard to obtain an honest living when falsely
accused with this offence. Mr. Selfe, hearing of the mat-
ter, wrote to the governor of the prison (not that where
Carroll was confined), and he procuring the dying delara-
tion of the deceased, it was forwarded forthwith to the
Home Secretary, and the worthy magistzate was desired
that it should be immediately communicated to C arroll's
friends that her Majesty, by the advice of Sir Geo. Grey,
had granted him a free pardon.
