fear Croker will shake," he wrote, " and heartily
sorry I should feel for that." The shaking, however,
only shook Croker more firmly into his place and
function. In 1828 he became a privy councillor ;
and he retained his Admiralty office till 1830. It
was the Reform Bill that destroyed him politically.

It need not have done so. There-was no more reason
for it in his case than in that of any of his com-
rades ; but he willed political suicide. He declared
that he would never sit in a reformed House of
Commons ; and he never did. He expected revo-
lution ; and he thought it prudent to retire while
be could yet save life and fortune. His view is
shown by his mournful account in the House of
the spectacle of a Montmorenci rising in the French
Constituent Assembly, to propose the extinction
of feudal rights and dignities, such as his ancestors
had earned and been ennobled by ; and he let fall
no word to show that he recognised any grandeur
in the act. He thought that pitiable which
to others appears the crown of the nobleness
of the Montmorencies. He proposed to grant no-
thing to any popular demand, because something
might at length be demanded which it would be im-
possible to grant; and before the shadows of the pos-
sible evils which he conjured up, he retired from
public life, leaving its actual difficulties to be dealt
with by men of a higher courage and t more disin-
terested patriotism. His political action, for the
rest of his life, consisted merely in the articles he
put forth in the Quarterly Review—articles which
(to say nothing of their temper) show such feeble-
ness of insight, such a total incapacity to compre-
hend the spirit and needs of the time, and such ut'er
recklessness abouttruthof both statement and prin-
ciple, that elderly readers are puzzled to account for
the expectations they once had of the writer. It
was the heart element that was amiss. A good
heart has wonderful efficacy in making moderate
talent available. Where heart is absent, the most
brilliant abilities fail, as is said in such cases, "un-
accountably." Where heart is not absent, but is
not good the consequences are still more obvious; t e
faculties waste and decline, and the life sinks to
,nothing before death comes to close the aceno. It
is' impossible to avoid such reflections as these
while contrasting the strength and goodness of
Croker's early work ou Ireland with his latsst judg-
ments on public affairs in the Quarterly Review, and
his correspondence with Lord J. Russell on the busi-
ness of the " Moore Diaries." It may be observed
by the way how such a spirit as his stirs up the
dregs of father people's tempers. Lord J. Russell's
no+e, in allusion to Mr. Croker, in "Moore's Life,"
appears to be unnecessary ; be was moved to it by
seeing Mrs. Moore stung by the review ; and he
met speedy retribution. Pain was inflicted all
round ; and Croker was the cause of it all.
He was the author, editor, arid translator of various
works, the chief of which is his edition of "Boswell's
Johnson," a book on which he spent much labour,
and which was regarded with high and trustfel fav-
our till Mr. Macaulay overthrew its reputation for
accuracy by an exposure of a singular series of mis-
takes, attributable to indolence, carelessness, or ig-
norance. That review (which is republished among
Mr. Macaulay's Essays) destroyed such reputation
for scholarship as Mr. Croker had previously en-
joyed, and a good deal impaired that of his industry.
His other works of bulk are the " Suffolk Papers,"
the " Military Events of the French Revolution of
1830," a translation of " Bassompierre's Embassy
to England," the " Letters of Lady Hervey," an I
" Lord Hervey's Memoirs of the Reign of George
II." Mr. Croker was an in'imate of the late Lord
Hertford ; and his social footing was not improved
by the choice of his friendships, and the revelations
made on the trial of Lord Hertford's valet. In brief,
his best place was his de•k at the Admiralty ; his
best action was in his office ; and the most painful
part of his life was the latter part, amidst anignoble
social reputation, and the political odium attached
to him by Mr. Disrael's delineation of bim in " Co-
ningsby." The virulent reviewer found in Ins old
age the truth of the Eastern proverb—" Curses are
like chickens, they always come home to roost."
He tried to. send them abroad again—tried
his utmost severity in attacks in the Quarterly on
Disraeli's Budget. But it was too-late, and the
painter of the portrait of Rigby remained master
of that field in which the complotest victory is the
least enviable.
Looking round for something pleasanter on which
to rest the eye in the career of the unhappy old
man who has just departed, we may point out that
his name stands honourably on our new maps and
globes. Ho was Secretary to the Admiralty during
the earlier of the Polar expeditions of this century ;
and it is understood that the most active and effi-
cient assistance was always given by him in the
work of Polar discovery. Long after political un-
scrupulousness and rancour are forgotten, those
higher landmarks of his voyage of life will remain,
and tell a future generation, to whom he will be
otherwise unknown, that there was one of his name
to whom our great navigators felt grateful for as-
sistance in the noble service they rendered to their
country and all future time.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH

Ilii DIA.

The public of England and India are deeply in-
terested in this question. Its importance, great
even in ordinary times, has become vital at this
crisis, when instantaneous communication would
prove a most powerful arm to aid the military ar-
rangements upon which alone our hold over India
depends. Under these circumstances we are all
concerned in knowing at whose door is to be laid
the blame that a telegraph to India has not been in
operation at least since the beginning of the year.
Prima facie one would imagine that a telegraph
to India would in the natural course of events pre-
cede a telegraph to America. Whether we regard
it in a political or a commercial point of view, the
Indian telegraph, connected as it is with the rapid
transmission of inf elligence from Sincapore, China,
and Australia, is at least equal in importance with
the American. its construction iseasier. The Ameri-
can telegraph bas to traverse 2,000 miles of ocean,
the Indian only 500 miles at one stretch; the feasi-
bility of the latter was therefore known several
year s back, and that again was a reason why it
should have had precedence. These are the broad
facts of the case. They suggest the question, how
comes it that the natural order of events has been
reversed, that the Atlantic cable is at this moment
being laid whilst the manufacture of the Indian
cable is not begun ? We unhesitatingly say that
the Treasury are alone in fault that we have not for
many months been in telegraphic communication
with India. More than two years ago the East
India Company gave their adhesion to the Red
Sea telegraph project. With that support the Com-
pany applied to the Treasury. The cold shoulder
was turned upon them ; they were, in short,
snubbed, and plainly told they must abandon all
hope of Government aid. The company then
broke up, or, to use the expression of the chairman,
remained in abeyance, after having despatched an
agent to Constantinople and Egypt to obtain the
necessary firmans. These he obtained with the sup-
port. of the Foreign-office and Lord Stratford de
Red cliffe.

The Treasury, however, were not to be thus
foi►ed. During the agent's absence the Euphrates
telegraph project was started, and was subsidised
by Government, the East India Company giving a
reluctant assent. This was done on the opinion of
Sir W. O'Shaughnessey, who condemned the Red
Sea line, alleging that the coral reefs would cut
the cable. It must be observed that though
Sir W.. O'Shaughnessey laid 4,000 miles of land_
wires in India in the short space of two years,
yet he knew nothing whatever about submarine
cables ; that an eminent firm of contractors for sub-
marine cables are, in spite of the coral, ready to lay
the Red Sea line at their own risk, and deliver it
over in perfect working order to the company at the
ordinary rate of charge ; that the Mediterranean
line to Corsica has been in permanent work fur
several years, though it crosses coral in more than
one place ; and that in- the Red Sea the coral is
confined to the shores, which the cable need only
approach twice, i.e., at Kossier and Jiddah, and by
taking careful soundings, it is expected that it can
be avoided even there.

We have frequently compared the two projected
lines by the Red Sea and the Euphrates. We shall
only state that the Turks, who may be supposed
to know their own country and their own power
over the inhabitants, have refused to sanction
'ho construction of the Euphrates I;ne, on
the ground that they have no power to
protect it, naturally also refusing to allow the
Company to do so, and thus by degrees become
master; of the country. -In fact common-Fenio at
once points out that isolated telegraph wires laid
batore the completion of the proposed railway, and
without the protection of any established transit
route, would never be safe, even in tmes of peac-,
and would inevitably be destroyed the first war that
occurred between any two tribes, or between any
gibe
and the Turks or Persians. The stations in

SUMME.R ASSIZES.

HOME CIRCIIIT.-CROYDON, Aug. 1?.

(Before the Lord Chief Baron and Special Juries,)
BECKWITH V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY

COMPANY.

Sergeant Shoe and Mr. F. J. Smith were for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Hankins ap-
peared for the company.

This was an action to recover damages for an in-
jury sustained by the plaintiff upon th occasion of
the explosion of the fog signals at Stratford on the
26th of February last. It appeared that the com-
pany had made an announcement of the intended
sale of a quantity of stores, and the plaintiff, who is
a smith and engineer, had gone to the station at
Stratford with his brother to inspect them, and they
happened to be near the factory at the time the ex-
plosion took place ; and the consequence was that
the plaintiff's brother was killed on the spot, and he
himself had his leg broken, and received other in-
juries from which, it was stated by the surgeons
who were examined, he was likely to suffer for the
remainder of his life.

The defence attemptel to be set up by the com-
pany was that the plaintiff was a trespasser, but it
altogether failed, and the jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff—Damages, 7501.

THE MARQUIS OF SALISBTRY V. THE GREAT NORTHERN

RAILWAY COMPANY.

Mr. Bovill, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q.C.,_ and Mr.
Watkin Williams were for the plaintiff ; and Mr.
Hawkins and Mr. Rochfort Clerk appeared for the
company.
This was an action of ejectment to recover pos-
session of a piece of land at Hatfield, in the county
of Hertford. The land in question was formerly a
portion of the old York-road, which had been di-
verted where it was crossed by the railway. There
were a variety of points of law raised, and eventu-
ally it was arranged that a special case should be
drawn up for the opinion of the Court.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Common Jury.)

attempts to induce him to leave, the prisoners de-
parted. He then went into the van, and feeling
about observed some bot'ltrs, Byett communicat-
ing these facts to the superintendent, a search was
made, and six bot les of wine were discovered in
tile van, and it was found that the door of the
truck had been raised, the hamper broken open,
and.seven bottles abstracted. It was further shown
that the prisoners' duty was to shunt trucks, and
could cause them to be at offices situated at some
considerable distance from the truck and van. It
was elicited on cross-examination that the shunter's
duty was to look into the van before passing is
down to the good station, but that this duty should
be performed at a spot far removed thence, and
whence the trucks ran down an incline of themselves
to the goods station. In addition, it appearedthat
more labourers wero at the passengers' station a
little way off._

Mr. Powell having addressed the jury for the
prisoners,
Mr. Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence.
The jury found the prisoners not; guilty..
This case concluded the criminal business of these
assizes.

Mr. Baron Bramwell thon stated that he would
be prepaied to assist this day in the trial of causes;
but the offer not having been accepted by counsel
in due time, his lordship has left.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-Aug. 12.

MANSION-HOUSE.— James Bannister, the
driver of an omnibus belonging to the Loudon Ge-
neral Omnibus Company, plying betwee❑ Putney
and the railway terminus of London-bridge, ap-
peared before Mr. Alderman Wire in answer to a
summons, which charged him with misbehaviour.
The court was densely crowded with omnibus
proprietors. _ . .

- Mr. Sleigh appeared for the complainants, the
Saloon Omnibus Company, and Mr. Robinson at-
tended on the part of the defendant.
Mr. Sleigh said that the summons against the de-
fendant was taken out under the 28th section of the
6th and 7th Vic., cap. 86, which enacted " that
every driver of a hackney carriage, or driver..or
conductor of a metropolitan stage carriage, who
shall be guilty of wanton or furious driving, or who
by carelessnes or wilful misbehaviour, shall cause
any hurt or damage to any person or property being
in any street or highway, or shall make use of any
insulting or abusive language, or shall be guilty of
any insulting gesture or misbehaviour," shall be
liable to fine or imprisonment. He should contend
that what the defendant had done amounted to mis-
behaviour within the meaning and spirit of the Act.
It would be proved that the defendant, who was
the driver of an omnibus belonging to the London
General Omnibus Company, had, on the day stated
in the summons, followed in the very closest proxi-
' mity, short of touching it, an omnibus belonging to
the Saloon Company, from the city to Putney-
bridge.
Joseph Sexton said—l am driver of a saloon om-
nibus from Putney to the London-bridge railway
terminus. On the 3d inst. I was in the city at five
minutes past 4 o'clock. I came over into King
William-street. I saw the defendant's omnibus on
London-bridge. It was behind me. He followed
me within five yards all the distance from London-
bridge, through the city, and ou to Putney-bridge.
He passed me at Walham-green. Through the city
I had one omnibus before me, and if I pulled up its
driver stopped, and the defendant also pulled up.
When I drove fast the defendant drove fast, and.
when I drove slow he drove slow. He did not in-
terfere by putting the pole to the door so as to pre-
vent me from getting passengers. He did not pre-
vent any passenger from getting in, but if a passen-
ger hailed me the conductor of the defendant's om-
nibus got down and tried to get that paQsenger.
This occurred once or twice—once in the city, but
I cannot say where. The defendant might have
passed at various places, if he had liked. I had a
time allotted by the company, but not by the Com-
missioner of Police.

Cross-examined by Mr. Robinson—My conductor
is in court. I was formerly in the service of the Lo-
ndon General Omnibus Company. That company
had a time at 8 o'clock. My omnibus was started
on the morning in question at 8 o'clock for the first
time. The General Omnibus Company's omnibuses
start from the private property of the company.
An extra omnibus went before and the defendant's
omnibus behind me. A few days ago I was ordered
out of the railway station for taking a wrong time.
George Foster, a superannuated police-officer,
said—l was employed by the Saloon Company, and
rode on the complainant's omnibus on the 3d inst.
We left the railway station about 4 o'clock, and on
coming through the city there was one omnibus in
front, the defendant's omnibus being in the rear.
We stopped in King William•street and took up
passengers. The other omnibus also stopped. The
defendant drove fast when we drove fast. We
took up about nine passengers between London-
' bridge and St. Paul's. I did not see the defen-
dant's conductor take any passengers away that
joarney. When the omnibus was hailed both con-
ductors alighted and spoke to the passengers who
appeared to me to bail the Saloon omnibus.

kr. Sleigh asked for a conviction upon this evi-
deuce.

Mr. Robinson submitted that no misconduct or
misbehaviour whatever had been proved against the
defendant, and that the Act of Parliament did 'not
touch the alleged grievance.
Alderman Wire—l am clearly of opinion that
this summons cannot be sustained. Ido not be-
lieve that the conduct imputed to the General Om-
nibus Company comes within the meaning of the
Act of Parliament, and therefore lam und to
dismiss the complaint.
Mr. Sleigh said there were summonses against
osher persons of a similar nature to the one just
disposed of, but that, after the construction which
the worthy Alderman had put upon the act of Par-
liament, be should not proceed with them.
Alderman Wire—The public is greatly advan-
taged, no doubt, by the omnibuses belonging to
both companies. I think it would be a great advan-
tage if au arranqement could be come to by the
two parties, so that they should not interfere with
each other's times. However, that is a matter for
their own consideration. I cannot enter into it.
The parties then left the court.

The annual meeting of the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company is called for the 3d September, at Liverpool.
REPORT ON THE CO ALWHIPPERS ACT. —The report
of the select committee of the House of Commons was
published yesterday. The committee consider that the
present state of the coal whippers, as a class, is deserving
of cons' deration, and that the grievaacus alleged are
susceptible of remedy, except so far R 3 relates to the in-
sufficiency of employment and a consequent depression
of wages. The committee do not recommend the re-
vival of the Act of 1343. The publichouse grievance is
considered worthy of the attention of the Legislature.
It is suggested, in fine, that each employer keep a
register of labour, giving the time and place where each
coalwhipper has been paid, with other details, which
shalt be open to the constant inspection of the Board of
Trade, or the magistrates of the district. Tne evidence
taken before the committee is appended.
LOLA MONTES.—The renowned Lola Montes is now
spending a few days at Niagara falls. She has appeared
at the Buffa;lo Theatre as a sort of interlude to her sea-
son of pleasure. On Friday morning Lola took the
train for Buffalo, and, without advice from any source,
she seated herself in the baggage car to quietly puff her
cigarette. While thus cosily throwing off from her lips
the curling smoke, she was discovered by the conductor
and informed that passengers were not permiged to ride
in the baggage cars. She paid no attention to the
intimation, but continued to smoke as if no one had ad-
dressed her. Assistant-Superintendent Callarner was at the
station, and was informed what Lela was doing. He said
she mustdo as other passengers did, and that she could not
be permitted to ride in the baggage-car. The conductor
called upon her, and politely told her that she must
take a seat in one of the cars designed for passengers.
Lela drew herself up into an attitude of defiance, and
told the conductor that she had travelled all over the
world, and had always rode where she had a mind to,
and proposed to do so in this case. The conductor
further expostulated with her, and assured her that
he was but executing the order of the superintendent
and the rules of the company. Lola replied that she had
"horsewhipped" bigger men than he." This settled the
matter. The conductor withdrew, and Lola was
not again disturbed. She rode to Buffalo in the baggage
car, and had no occasion to use the whip. The railroad
men did not care to Maher disturb the tigress.—Roeltes-
ter Union, July 20.
