BOILER EXPLOSIONS.

A Gateshead jury has been sitting for four hours
to inquire into the late boiler explosion at that
place, wmcn causea tne aeath of three men. Several
practical men were examined, and nothing could be
adduced from their evidence to shew the cause of the
explosion, or to lay the blame on anyone. The
coroner remarked that although he was able to call in a
medical man as to the cause of death, he was not
allowed to employ a scientific man to sit beside
him as an assessor in a case like the present. He
thought that a coroner should have some
assistance. An engineer who was examined con-
sidered that working boilers should be inspected
every month. In this case he could not state posi-
tively the cause of the explosion, as the outer plates
were lost. There was nothing therefore for the jury
but to return a verdict that the men died from the
explosion of the boiler of the steam wherry Eleanor.
An engine-wright has stated that a few days before
the explosion he had been told of a leakage in the
boiler, but as it was said to be of no import-
ance he did not remedy it. He had not
examined it in the inside, as no complaint
was made. If he had seen such a piece
of iron as that produced in court, he should,
have condemned it at once. He recommended inspec-
`ion every three months. It is high time that they
condition of boilers and their inspection were consti..
tuted into an exact science,

ROME.

Various indications go to prove that the French Govern-
ment harbours no intention of speedily withdrawing its
troops from Rome. Arms and ammunition are continually
arriving at Civita Vecchia. Contracts have been concluded
for the supply of provisions to the troops during the whole
of the coming year. It is likely that the French army
will occupy Rome during the sitting of the General
Council a year hence.

This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a largo number oi in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by their bankers, Messrs.
Brown, Hansom, and Co., Abchurch-lano ; also by Messrs.

THE SLIGHT TO MB. JOHNSON

A letter from Mr. Robert Coningsby appears in
the Times to explain the part he took in the recent
proposal to entertain the American Ambassador.
He originated the proposal, and everything was
arranged, when some leaders of the working men
said a mistake had been made in electing Mr.
Coningsby chairman, because of some letters which
appeared four years ago in the columns of the Times.
He then gave way for Mr. Odger. These men now caused
the meetings to be held at the Reform League
offices, and Mr. Beales'appeared upon the scene, and
made his celebrated speech about a " tainted
medium." A foreigner, calling himself " Citizen
something," also objected to Mr. Johnson. Every
decent man was disgusted, says Mr. Coningsby, and
the affair fell through. The only matter of the
slightest consequence is, that Mr. Johnson should
understand that these ill-mannered people represent
no one but themselves, and thus represent nothing
at all. Moreover, people who prefix " Citizen "to
their names, whether Englishmen or foreigners, have
nothing in common with the bulk of our countrymen.
The word is identified with events at which we
shudder.

FIRE 11V CLERKEN WELL-7 HIS DAY.

Shortly after 12 o'clock this (Saturday) morning
a fire, attended with a great loss of property and
wellnigh fatal results to at least a dozen persons,
happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Curties,
a wholesale and retail cheesemonger and ham mer-
chant, Myddleton-street, Clerkenwell. At the time
of the disaster the whole of the residents were in
their beds asleep, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that they could effect a safe retreat. En-
gines, land steam and manual, were:quickly in at-
tendance under the direction of Mr. Bridges,
the chief officer of the district, and the Lon-
don Salvage Corps, with Mr. Superintendent
Swanston. With the aid of one of Shand,
Mason, and Company's steam engines, and Beck
and Co.'s patent hydrants the flames were ex-
tinguished, but Mr. Curties's premises were nearly
destroyed, and those of Mr. Stead, grocer (No. 1),
and Mr. Nutford, beershop-keeper, were damaged
by water, &c. The losses will fall upon the Im-
perial and Guardian Fire Lffices so far as the in-
surances are concerned, but the principal sufferer
was not insured.

GOLD IN SIITIEERLAND.

A correspondent of the Times writes to corroborate
the statement that there is gold in Sutherland.
This was known to many elderly people in the neigh-
bourhood of Druness, and the reason alleged for the
non-working of these mines of the precious metal is
as follows :—From the time King Charles I. created
the great chief of the Mackays—Donald, son of
Hugh Mackay—Lord Reay, with the possession of
the tract of land known as the " Reay Country," the
family forbade any digging for gold or other metal
in the place mentioned, for fear that the Crown
would appropriate the land in question to itself.
How far this may be true perhaps some of the
representatives of the Reay family may be able to
explain.

SERIOUS OUTRAGE BY A POLICEMAN.

At the Birmingham Police-court, a policeman, named
'Samuel Mills, bas been summoned for a dastardly
assault on a night watchman named James Allen,
in the employment of Messrs. Shorthouse, of the chemical
works, Shadivell-street. On Tuesday last complainant
was charged with loitering about with intent to
commit a felony, but the case was dismissed. It appeared
that a very serious assault had been committed on All:eb,
by the policeman, by which the life of the latter ha ;'been
endangered. His statement was that he was ce:ming up
Snow-bill on the morning of the Bth instant, when he met
the officer and inquired his way home. He was the
worse for liquor, but did nothing to provoke the
treatment he received from Mills, who struck him
with his staff and knocked him down, rendering him
senseless. A woman residing in Shadwell-street deposed
to seeing the officer brutally beating a man, who was lying
on the ground. Allen was found by a man who took him
to the General Hospital, where it was found that
he had sustained three severe scalp wounds and other
injuries. Mills was committed for trial. The complainant
is in precarious state, and the indictment may yet be one
for manslaughter. Mills has been seven months in the
force. Bail was refused:

PROTRACTED CAUSES

Sir James Wilde gave counsel a useful hint the
other day, suggesting that they should condense their
observations as far as was consistent with the import-
ance of the action in which they were engaged. The
case was that of " Hunt and another v. Anderson."
The judge feared that with the materials counsel
had before them the trial might last over a fort-
night. It should be noted that the judge was
trying the case with a special jury. From what
we have lately seen, these long trials only serve to
bewilder the minds of ordinary jurymen, who
frequently fail to agree in their verdict. Counsel
have, of course, an excellent motive for prolonging
them, seniors and • juniors going over the same
ground, and their fees accumulating daily. The
interests of justice would not, however, suffer if there
was a little less talking, and a more careful sifting of
evidence, to the exclusion of matter totally irrelevant.

THE STATUTE OF " GOOD QUEEN ANNE."

Mr. Thorold Rogers, late Professor of Political
Economy at Oxford, writes to combat the arguments
which the Times has used in favour of abolishing
the statute of Queen Anne compelling members of
the House of Commons to seeke-election on taking
office under the Crown. Mr. Rogers is very bitter
against the Timest and declares that the interests of
its powerful organisation are, " with rare exceptions,
opposed to the public conscience and the public
good ;" so that Mr. Cobden was right when
he said, " Whenever I get the praise of the Times I
am afraid I have done something wrong." Mr.
Rogers considers that the statute of knne is a great
check upon political conspiracies. For instance, Lord
Derby in 1866 made overtures to the Adullamites.
Who can deny that the prospect of being defeated on
seeking re-election prevented men like Lord Elcho
and Lord Grosvenor from accepting the overtures ?
Further, it must be remembered that, inasmuch as
the enormous expense of a general election gives a
Ministry in a minority great power over the House
of Commons, any change which diminishes the
opportunities by which the country may make known
its sentiments and pass judgment upon its rulers
ought to be resisted. Mr. Rogers overlooks the fact
that the statute failed both to prevent the conspiracy
of 1866 and the maintenance of a minority Ministry
for two years.

LONDON, SA7 URDAY, DEC. 19, 1868,

The change of Ministry in France is opportune,
occuring as it has done immediately after the change
of Ministry in England. The two Governments
start afresh, start as it were abreast of each other.
They are in no way hampered by their predecessors.
They will have the advantage of being from the
outset contemporaneous. The one does not lap over
the other, so to speak, in the interchange of diplo-
matic communications for the development of a har-
monious policy between the two Governments. It ,
must be remembered, of course, at the same
time that, whereas amongst ourselves the trans-
formation of the Cabinet has been sweeping
and comprehensive it has been partial only, though
it must be allowed very considerable also, in re-
spect to the Cabinet of the neighbouring Sovereign.
Whereas Mr. GLADSTONE replaces Mr. DISRAELI
here in England, yonder in France the most vigo-
rous and gifted Statesman the Emperor NAPOLEON
111. has ever called to power at his right hand, as his
principal administrative adviser, is there still,
and, if possible, more than ever, pre lominant
over the Emperor's Government. M. ItotmEß
is still Minister of State. He, at any
rate, makes way for no successor. On
the contrary, his influence is confirmed, and ex-
panded, and intensified. It is understood now—by
reason of these changes which have within the last
few hours occurred at Paris—to be more than ever
the animating spirit of the imperial Administration.
Hitherto, but more particularly of late, there has been
a want of harmony, or at any rate a lack of complete
coincidence of ideas between M. ROUHER and two or

LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all

THE INDIAN TELEGRAPH.

Another rupture in the telegraph between England
and India suggests with renewed force the often-
askect question how long this country will rest con-
tent with the means of communication between this
country and her Eastern Empire. It has been
stated that there would be no insurmountable diffi-
culties in laying down a submarine cablb from
Falmouth to Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria,
thence by land to Suez, and another submarine line
by Persia, Aden, Point de Gallo, and thence to Port
Essington in Australia ; altogether a distance of
about 10,000 miles. If Government would but gua-
rantee the interest, the capital would be found at
once. Within the last three months England has
subscribed £20,000,000 for the construction of railways
in the Russian Empire—works which will greatly
facilitate an attack upon India. In the meanwhile
nothing is being done towards the construction of a
railway through the Euphrates Valley, or a trust-
worthy Anglo-Indian telegraph, either of which
works would help us to resist such an attack.

SPAIN.

The Independence Beige thinks the appearance of the
Duke of Montpensier at Cordova again brings him promi-
nently forward as a candidate for the throne of Spain.
It is remembered that he has very many partisans in Anda-
lusia, and that several of the journals of Madrid have pro-
nounced in his favour. "B is chances seem all the greater
since it has become evident that the rumours of Italian candi-
dates are unfounded. Prince de Carignan, put forward by the
Liberty, has categorically denied that he has any aspira-
tion to the Spanish throne. General Cialdini goes to
Madrid on private business only. He is not charged with
any mission relative to the throne." In support of the
theory put forward by the Belgian paper, it may be added
that the Correspondencia of Madrid, the most widely circu-
lated of the prints which in Spain are dignified with the
title of newspapers, recently published a long article in
support of the claims of the Duke of 11.Iontpensier. The
cavalier manner in which the Provisional Government
sent the Orleanist prince back to Lisbon upon his offer of
assistance in repressing the Cadiz insurrection looks un-
favourable to his prospect of becoming King. But even
this is explained by some papers on the ground that it is a
dust-throwing manoeuvre. The principal personage whom
the dust would be intended to blind—the Emperor
Napoleon—is not, however, likely to be deceived by this
device.

The Provisional Government is at present greatly occu-
pied by a question even more immediately important than
the disposal of the throne. Though it has restored peace
in the south, its existence is menaced in other parts of the
kingdom. A Carlist band has made its appearance near
Burgos, and a well-organised Carlist conspiracy has been
unearthed at Pampeluna. These two towns are both in
the north, and as far remote as possible from the scene of
the late revolt. The Provisional Government is said to
be much alarmed at the prospect of a union between the
Carlists and the Republicans. All this is in favour of at
least one result—the dictatorship of Prim, who even now
has everything in his power by his command of the
army.

rient; are mild in their operation, safe under any cir-
cumstances, and thousands of persons can now bear testi-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.
Several persons were brought before Mr. Knox
this morning, charged with being drunk and dis-
orderly. 'Where the charge was simply that of
drunkenness these persons were discharged, but in
other cases Mr. Knox, taking into consideration
that it was Christmas time, imposed lenient fines.
DISTURBING A CONGREGATION.—James M'Cann,
a groom, was charged as follows :—Police-constable
George Hamilton, 56 C, said that on Christmas-
eve the prisoner, who was drunk, was put out of
the Farm-street chapel by the doorkeeper. The
prisoner rushed in again and became very disor-
derly, and he was compelled to take him into cus-
tody as he was disturbing the congregation, and it
was with some difficulty that he was got to the
station.

In answer to Mr.. Knox, the constable said that
the prisoner was in the practice of going to the
chapel to beg.
Mr. Knox said it wou!d not do to have a man
going drunk to a chapA and disturbing a congreg,a-
tion, and fined the prisoner 203. or 14 days.

Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals 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 painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
oation.
