MR. GLADSTONE'S DEFEAT IN LANCASHIRE.

Speaking at a dinner held in honour of the Libeial
candidates for the Eastern Division of the West
Riding—the polling in which takes place to-day--Sir
Francis Crossley alluded to the great disappoint-
ment which had been expressed at the result
of the contest in South-West Lancashire.
But he believed that, though it looked like
a defeat, it would eventually prove to the Liberal
party a blessing in disomise. He declared that it was
much better that Mr.'Gladstone should be returned
for Greenwich by a large majority than be
re-elected for Lancashire by a narrow one ; because
he would, when he came into office, have to
go through the same process again. Mr. Forster,
the member for Bradford, also addressed the
assembly, and stated his belief that although Lan-.
cashiro had fallen back from the ranks of Liberalism,
the county of 'York-shire would still prove that the
principles of the Liberal party were in tbr-
ascendant.

Such a wholesale begging of questions is almost unpre-

men in the Church who are strongly of opinion that
both Low Churchmen and Ritualists may find room
in the Church of England. If one party must go, it
will not be the Protestants—(the meaning (lithe word

NEW PEERS.

; The air is thick with rumours. Every man buttoi,
holes his neighbour at the street-corner, with the
determination of telling him the newest wonder. To
his great disappointment his friend extinguishes him
with a tale more wonderful still. The Times gives
currency to a report that the Premier intends to
create ten or twelve new peers. Our contemporary is
cautious enough to remark that it may be as baseless
as any other rumour, but at t!le same time it
points out the impolicy of such a course.
'We can hardly give Mr. Disraeli credit for such a
step. Even now Lord Derby's power in the
Upper House is enormous. It is so Conservative as
to be Lt total variance with the representatives of the
people, and these creations would only exasperate the
enemies of the peerage. Should Mr. Gladstone con-
template creating a number strong enough to carry
his bill through the Lords, he would have to make
ten or a dozen more new peers, and deluge the House
with novi homines.

THE GREENOCK STOWAWAYS.

The trial of the captain and the mate of the ship
Arran for their barbarous treatment of the Greenock
" stowaways " has ended in the former being found
guilty of culpable homicide and sentenced to eighteen
months' imprisonment, and in the latter being found
guilty of the minor offence of assault, and sentenced
to four months' imprisonment. The evidence in this
long trial la 3 been of the most painful cha-
racter, revealing a protracted system of cruelty. The
boys were severely beaten, and at last compelled to
make a perilous journey on unsafe ice to get
to land, during which they were drowned. The
jury actually recommended the captain to mercy,
on the plea that hg; received the highest testimony as
to his character. When thicrientence upon him was
pronounced by the Lord Justice Clerk, in a crowded
and excited court, it was received with hisses, which
were continued while the prisoner was being removed,
and protracted, for the benefit of his lordship, until
he left the bench. Such expressions of feeling are
not allowable in a court of law, but it is at
least a healthy sign of public opinion, that it will
not allow the dying cries of these poor boys to be
drowned in the chorus of voices raised in commenda-
tion of the captain's respectability. The Lord Jus-
tice Clerk relieved the jury from serving again for
two years, in consideration of their services. His
lordship did well ; and .when the oppressor is next
brought to justice, may the judge be some other than
the Lord Justice Clerk.

A PEACEFUL ELECTION.

The Border burghs have set a good example. They
appointed a joint committee of fifty-two. Each of the
three towns, Hawick, Galashiels, and Selkirk, held a
meeting to hear the candidates, the Hon. George
Elliott, and Mr. Trevelyan. Each burgh also held a
meeting, and Mr. Trevelyan was chosen. Mr.
Elliott did not at first accept the decision,
but when the contest began and he found
himself in a hopeless minority he retired.
Meanwhile, guided by the wish of his supporters,
nineteen-twentieths of whom were working men,
Mr. Trevelyan engaged no legal agent, did not make
a single visit to any elector, and did not ask for a single
vote; either by letter or voice. All the election work
was done after the hours of labour, by the men
themselves. Employers were not allowed to urge
Mr. Trevelyan's claims on their servants or depen-
dants, but in every case working people were can-
vassed by working people, tradesmen by tradesmen.
The contest of three months cost £7O. Here is a
model constituency. It is almost too perfect ; the
example it sets is so far removed from the brutal
ways of some of our elections, that we may well
lespair of seeing it generally imit ded. Meanwhile,
it is not too much to expect that when the voice of
the people is next taken Parliament will have done
something to provide against a repetition of the
w,nea of the election of 1808.

Mr. D'Eyneourt asked the prisoner what be had
to, say.

The prisoner said he did not deny begging, but
he had no option. He went to the police-station
and asked for an order for the workhouse, but could
not get one.

Mr. D'Eyncourt said he would commit the pri-
soner for ten days, and the prisoner seemed quite
contented with the decision.

_IA EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

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.

Arthur James Williamson, described as a jockey,
was charged with stealing two sets of harness, value
£7, the property of John Roth, cab proprietor,
Strutton-ground. He was also charged with steal-
ing another set, the property of some perscn un-
known.

Police-constable 313 said he saw the prisoner
about half .past two this morning in theHorseferry-
road, carrying a large bag upon his back. Prisoner,
upon seeing witness, turned down a yard. Witness
followed him and met him in the yard coming back
without the bag. He asked him what he done with
the bag. Prisoner said, " You have got the wrong
address; what do you mean?" Witness took him
into custody; and upon going back to the yard,
after he had taken prisoner to the station, with a
lamp, he found the bag, in which was a set of har-
ness. He found two other sets of harness in diffe-
rent yards close by.
Mr. Roth and another witness in his employ
identified two sets of harness, and stated that the
prisoner lived next the stable. Prosecutor had of
late lost a great deal of property from his stable,
and for some time had suspected the prisoner.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, in order that
the police might find the owner of the third set.

THAMES.

IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Mary Mooney, an Irish
woman, aged 32 years, was charged with stealing
two pairs of boots, value 9s. the property of Mrs
Frederick Reeves, a shopkeeper in the Commercial-
road.

Alexander Gregory, shop-boy, stated that at five
o'clock yesterday afternoon the prisoner came into
the shop under the pretence of buying a pair of
boots, and while his back was turned for a few se-
conds she took a pair of boots and put them in her
pocket. She then turned round again and took
another pair of boots, which she put up her back.
She then said the boots she had examined did not
suit her, and left the shop. He followed her and
gave her into custody.
Joseph Soaper, a police constable, No. 310 11,
said that he took the prisoner in charge and found
a pair of boots under her shawl and another pair
of boots in her pocket. He searched her lodgings
in Rutland-street, Stepney, and then discovered a
large number of pawnbrokers' duplicates, relating to
every description of property.
The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to three months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—John Hazel-
grove, aged 28 years, a labourer, of 8, Wentworth-
street, Whitechapel, was charged with stealing a
coat and other property from an office in the Lon-
don Dock.

The prosecutor in this case was Mr. Joseph
Ewell, a contactor for the supply of labour in the
London Dock. Last night he threw his coat on to
a setae in his office in the dock. There was a
pocketbook containing duplicates, a handkerchief,
and gloves in one of the pockets. Those produced
were his property. He missed the coat the same
afternoon. From information received, he went to
a pawnbroker's shop and saw his coat, which had
been pawned there.
His pocketbook and gloves
had been found in the prisoner's lodgings. The
prisoner was in his employ.

James James Floyd, 199 11, said that he arrested the

Dock. The prisoner denied the charge, but soon
afterwards admitted that he took the coat and
pawned it with Mr. Jones, a pawnbroker. He
afterwards went to the prisoner's lodgings where he
found the prosecutor's pocketbook, gloves, and a
pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the coat, which
was restored by the pawnbroker.

The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced
to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

Two MEN SUFFOCATED IN A WELL—TWO men,
named Child and Spencer, were suffocated by foul air in a
well at Messrs Taylor and Hartley's sanitary tube manu-
factory, Whitwood-mere, near Castleford, on Saturday.
Child was the first victim, and Spencer lost his life in en-
deavouring to rescue his fellow workman. A third man
named Briggs narrowly escaped sharing the fate of the
outer two unfortunate men.

THE EDUCATION BILL.

The Lord President's bill has been printed. It does not
copy the Code article by article, but puts the regulations
under which the grant is administered i.• to a new and, we
think, simpler form, and soMits various matters of detail,
leaving them to be the subject of rules to be issued by the
Secretary of State. Before stating the conditions on
which grants are to be made, the bill declares that the
Parliamentary vote is to be expended by the new Secre-
tary of State in making, in his discretion, building grants
and annual grants, and in paying the salaries and expenses
of inspectors and of the office, and other expenses of the
administration of the grant. The bill deals first with
building grants, and stipulates that the deed must contain
one of the management clauses set out in the schedule,
which contains forms for Church of England schools,
Boman Catholic, Wesleyan,, British, Jewish, and secu-
lar schools. The proviso requiring a conscience clause
comes in this part of the bill, and the bill requires a con-
science clause in the cases only where building grants are
made ; the clause was fully described in the latter part of
the Duke of Marlborough's speech on the 24th of March.
Clauses as to teachers follow. In the Code this subject
occupies some pages, but the bill disposes of it more
briefly, and provides that the Secretary of State may make
regulations from time to time as to admission, probation,
and the grant of certificates. Proceeding then to annual
grants to elementary schools, the bill again omits some
matters of detail, and, instead of giving the standards,
provides that scholars shall be examined according to stan-
dards and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of
State. A certificated teacher is not to be required in schools
held in the evening only, nor in schools having an annual
average attendance of less than sixty-five day scholars; the
maximum grant in these small day schools without certi- •
ficated teachers to be 2s. Bd. for each of the three elementary
subjects. Where grants are diminished for faults or de-
fects or continued insufficient provision of apparatus, the
Secretary of State may require that either the amount of
the deduction or the amount granted be applied towards
remedying the deficiencies. If the school income from an
endowment and the annual grant together exceeds 15s. per
scholar of the average number in attendance throughout
the year, the amount of such excess is to be deducted from,
the grant. The clauses relating to normal schools follow,
and then the clauses authorising au educational census to
be taken by house-to-house schedules (in houses under a
certain rateable value) in districts where there is reason to
believe the means of elementary education of the children
of the poor to be inadequate. The bill is to come into
operation on the Ist of October.

that if the bill becomes law the revenue for the

terest on the public debt and the current expenses
of the Government.

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MISR

CHURCIL

The Government, if possible, wish to bring the
debate on the Irish Church to a close to-morrow
evening, and the division therefore will be
taken upon the Government amendment first,
which it is fully expected will be rejected
by a majority of over 30. The intention
of the Government, in the event of the
House going into committee, is a secret which will
not be disclosed until Friday, when the Premier
will state the course of the Government previous
to the house going into committee.

at the increase of marriage, and, consequently,
population, fearing it would overtake the means
of subsistence. Now, the reverse is the complaint.
It is not the number, but the character of people
that determines the worth of a country. The world
is benefited not by the quantity, but the quality of
its inhabitants. Prudent hesitation is to be praised,
and precipitancy, which so often causes poverty-
stricken children to rush into the sacred responsi-
bilities of parents, is to be censured. But the Nation
sees another gain. The evaporation of the higher
orders, who, in the truest sense of the word, are
civilized off the face of the earth, creates a vacuum
for a steady rise from the lower into the higher
scale. This is a decided advantage over the reverse
by which he surplus in the upper would be crowded
down into the lower grades—the current becoming
ascending instead of descending.—Anglo-American
Times.

THE ROYAL VISIT TO IRELAND.

The announcement that the Princess of Wales will visit
Ireland along with the Prince gives the highest satisfac-
tion to all classes. It is considered that the Princess is
coming over from an earnest desire to see the country, and
this will cause her reception to be peculiarly enthusiastic ;
it is indeed such a compliment to their native land as
Irishmen cannot resist. The statement to the effect that
the visit of the Princess is now no longer a matter of
doubt, is borne out by certain arrangements that are in
progress here. The weather has suddenly become like
what might be expected two months hence, and there
seems every prospect of a long continuance of it. The
city, too, is putting on a holiday aspect. The fronts of all
the public buildings and of many private ones are being
thoroughly cleansed ; the decorative artists are over-
whelmed with orders, and on her Royal Highness's first
appearance in our streets they will present as gay an
appearance as bright bunting and floral wreaths can impart
to stone walls. The general public, however--- I mean that
large class of her Majesty's lieges who cannot pretend to
the entrée of the cathedral--will be greatly disappointed at
the very small part of the installation pageant which they
are to be permitted to witness. It was understood that
the ceremonial would be a reproduction, on a grander
scale, of that which took place in 1821, when a foot pro-
cession of the knights to the cathedral toek place ; and
all along the route from the Castle to the cathedral
windows have been hired at, in some instances, exorbitant
prices. An official note, issued from the Office of Arms,
now announces that, on account of the uncertainty of the
climate, there will be no foot procession, but that the
Prince of Wales, the Lord-Lieutenant, and the Duke of
Cambridge will proceed in their State equipages, tscorted
by a brilliant military cavalcade, from the Castle to St.
Patrick's, where they will join the other knights of the
order, who will have previously assembled in the venerable
pile. A hasty glimpse of these exalted personages is
therefore, according to present arrangements, all that will
be afforded to the great majority of the citizens. Post
