LAW AND POLICE.

TEE STIRCHLEY MURDER.—At the Shrewsbury Assizes
the trial of George Harris for the wilfulyaurder of Bernhard
Zusman has been concluded. The learned judge, in sum-
ming up, pointed to the fact that a large number of
persons knew that the deceased was coming from Birming-
ham with a large quantity of valuables in his possession.
Another point touched on by the learned judge was the
discrepancies in the evidence as to the identification of
the 'watches found in the prisoner's possession, which his
lordship thought very weak. After an absence of two
hours, the jury acquitted the accused.

OBTAINING SHAREHOLDERS UNDER FALSE REPRESEN-
TATIONS.-At the Guildford Assizes the cause of Tato v.
Marshall was heard. It was an action for fraudulent
representations in the prospectus of a joint-stock company,
by which the plaintiff alleged that he had been induced to
take shares, and so lost his money. The company in
question was the Glamorgan Iron and Coal Company,
whose prospectus stated that a mine had been obtained
capable of producing 7,000,000 tons of coal, at the
rate of 93,000 tuns a year, or 103 tons a day.
It was said also to contain iron, and a dividend
of 10 per cent. was said to be guaranteed for
some years. The " plant " alone was stated to be worth
£43,000. The case for the plaintiff was that these repre-
sentations were all as delusive as they were seductive ; that
the " plant " cost the projector only £S2O; that the
mine never pro'ucel 100 tons a day, and had no such
capabrity as repres ntel ; and that the statements of
profits were entirely deceptive, and, according to the
_ _

plaintiff's story, he had taken shares on the faith of these
representations. The defendant was one of the principal
promoters of the company ; but at the end of the plaintiff's
cace 13a.ron Martin thought that the action could not be
sustained, and directed a nonsuit.
AN UNFAITHFUL LADY.—At the Wells AS3'.Z :s the case
of Freeman v. G,wer, which was an action to recover L'7s,
was heard. It appeared that the plaintiff was a soldier,
and went out to India, and being desirous of the defen-
dant, to whom be was engaged, coming over, he remitted
£75 for that purpose. In his letters he gave specific
_ _

- _
instructions as to what she should do. The defendant,
having received the money, made several excuses about
going out, when the plaintiff wrote to his brother helm
to get the money and invest it until the defendant
should be prepared to go out. A correspondence then
ensued between the brother and Miss Gower, and ulti-
mately she declined to go out, and refused to give up the
money, alleging it was a gift. The jury found for the
plaintiff by the direction of the judge, who reserved the
case for the consideration of the Court of Common Pleas.

ACTION AGAINST A RAILWAY COSIPANY.—At the Man-
chester Assizes, the case of Tarbuck v. the Oldham and
Ashton - under - Lyne Company was heard. The
plaintiff, an insurance agent, was travelling on the
defendants' line when a collision took place. The plaintiff
suffered from concussion of the brain, and was very ill.
The jury gave £750 damages.

A letter from Madrid says that the pine forests
(Crown property, we imagine) in the neighbourhood of
Soria have been burning for twenty-four days, and that
fifty millions of trees will be consumed. As a delightful
illustration of Cosas de Espana, it is added that the head
forester has submitted to the Government plans, which
have met with its approval, for putting out the
disastrous conflagration, but that probably before this
ingenious officer can carry them into effect not a tree will
be left.

A STATUE TO LORD CLYDE.—A statue to Lora
Clyde was on Wednesday unveiled at Glasgow. The
Glasgow Evening Citizen says the figure seems to us to want
something of the modesty and repose—the sentiment, so to
speak, of latent power, so characteristic of the earlier
monument. Nevertheless, the statue is a work of
unquestionable power. The broad chest and well-knit
frame suggest the idea, even -in the repose of the
bronze, of a readiness to spring into action. If
the head is inartistically large, so likewise it was in
the original, and it is at least one great merit of the
statue that it is a true " counterfeit presentment" of the
man as he existed in the flesh. The pose of the figure is
excellent. He stands in a kind of military undress, of
Indian character. In his left hand, which rests on the
stump of a palm, he holds a telescope, and in his right
the cap, with encircling veil so needful under a tropical
sun, while his limbs are encased in a kind of military
jack-boots, which rise above the knee, and into which the
trousers are thrust. In every part of the costume the
texture of the material is superbly rendered.

MR. COLERIDGE'S ABOLITION OF TESTS BILL.—
Mr. Coleridge writes to the Guardian :—"Sir, the fol-
lowing extract was sent me by a friend a few days ago :
' Mr. Coleridge does not, we understand, intend to press
further, during the present session, his bill for the Aboli-
tion of Religious Tests in the Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge ; but we have good reason to believe
that he contemplates introducing, in the first session
of the Reformed Parliament, a measure, limited, indeed,
in its operation, to Oxford alone, but of a far more
extensive character. The distinguishing features of
this scheme will be, if we are rightly informed, the entire
separation of religious discipline and secular education
within the colleges, and the actual exclusion, for the
future, of clergymen of the Established Church from
important posts in the government of the university.—
Imperial Review.' I have never seen the Imperial Review,
and do not know whether it is a political review, nor to
which side of politics, if it be political, it is attached. But
I shall be obliged to you if you will allow me to say,
through your columns, that there is not, and never has
been, a shadow of foundation for the statements made in
the above extract. They are pure and absolute fabrica-
tions, though it is true that I was obliged, for want of
time, to give up attempting to force my bill of the present
session to the House of Lords.—JouN DUKE COLERIDGE."

THE TELEGRAPH BlLLS.—Thanks to the energy
of Mr. Scudamore and the firmness of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, this bill has now become law, and the
carrying out of the measure will confer substantial ad-
vantages upon the newspaper firms throughout the
kingdom. When the Post Office authorities take charge
of the telegraphs, matter equal to a column of Times
minion may be telegraphed from any part of the United
Kingdom to one newspaper office for 205., and if the same
words are sent to more than one newspaper the charge
will be 3s. 4d. per column for each addition. This
arrangement will enable each newspaper proprietor to
conduct his pap.r in his own way. At present, he can
only publish just what the telegraph company choose to
send. Their sae :tion is arbitrary and incomprehensible.
When John Fright speaks, his observations are telegraphed
to every newspaper in the kingdom ; but when her
Majesty's chief Minister addresses any important assembly
his observations are condensed into a few lines. In future,
each newspaper will select for itself, and get whatever it
pleases ; at the same time, there Nvill be room for au or-
ganisation of newspaper proprietors to obtain collectively
that which all require. Such an organisation has been
formed, and has received the adhesion of all the leading
provincial clai'y newspapers in the kingdom, and many
of the weekly papers have also joined the association. It
will be greatly to the advantage of the press that the
Business of collecting news will henceforth be in the hands
of newspaper proprietors who understand their own
'davit and know the wants of the public.-.-Printere

amendments to the customary pursuits and
pleasures of the autumnal holiday. Even the busiest
of us snatches his few weeks respite, and prepares
for the political, or literary, or commercial cam-
paign of the winter by a brief anticipatory fur-
lough. It is no great wonder that Qaeen VICTORIA,
wearied of the cares of State, which, even in her
retirement, press more or less heavily upon her,
should share in the general movement, and should
seek that repose and simplicity of life which she is
known so much to prefer to a more stately and
pretentious existence. The change, we regret to
learn, is recommended by her medical advisers on
account of her health, but
_we may reasonably hope
that a short interval of rest and change will restore
her to full vigour. In place of the usual trip to
Balmoral her MAJESTY has this year proceeded to
Switzerland, where the novelty and beauty of the
scenes will restore her to full vigour. Her MAJESTY
is travelling incognito as Cuuntess of KENT, and
therefore her departure was not attended by any of
the customary forms. The weather was as usual pro-
pitious, and at half-past six yesterday evening the
Victoria and Albert was safely anchored off Cher-
bourg. Extensive preparations have been made by
direction of the EMPEROR for the convenience of the
Royal party, and the Imperial train has been placed
at the disposal of the QUEEN. From Cherbourg to
Paris is a distance of 230 miles, and Her MAJESTY
will have to pass through some of the chief towns of
Normandy,Bajeux, Caen, Nan tes,&e. Having art ived
at Paris, she proceeded to theßritish Embassy, where
she will remain to-day, and very likely by this time
she will have exchanged courtesies and compliments
with the EMPEROR AND EMPRESS. This evening
the QUEEN will resume her journey and proceed to
Bale, where, it is hoped, the Royal travellers will
breakfast to-morrow, then proceeding through tho
beautiful district of the Jura to their destination,
Lucerne. The spot chosen for her MAJESTY'S resting
place during her sojourn is close to the Lake, and
is situated in the midst of beautiful and romantic
scenery, which will of itself afford gratification to
the visitors. So great are the improvements now
effected in the means of communication between
England and Switzerland that twenty-four hours
will serve to transport a traveller from Charing-
cross to the lake itself, passing at so brief an in.
terval from the midst of the wLitl and bustle of a
London thoroughfare to the sublime tranquillity of
the Alps themselves.

Mr. GLADSTONE treats with contempt the declara-
tion of some that they wish to reform the abuses of
the Irish Church, and as good as says that either
they do not mean it, or cannot accomplish their ends.
As for the commission which was appointed at the
instance of Lord It USSELL, that is quite a nonentity ;
their plans are futile. But Mr. GLADSTONE blames
them, and he is very sorry for them. He did not
know what better they could do. Why did he not
say this earlier, before the Conservatives had taken
Reform out of his hands. The brilliancy of Mr.
GLADSTONE'S eloquence must make any speech of
his entertaining to peruse, but we wish that this the
opening of the election speeches, as it were,
bad been characterised by a more dignified tone,
and was more litre the utterances of a great states-
man who ranks the success of his cause beyond
personal or party aggrandisement, rather than the
haphazard remarks of one intent on gaining an
immediate point; and he wound up with the ex-
citement of the conflict that he cannot resist da-
maging his opponents, be the consequences what
they may. This is not the spirit in .which to heal
the differences or to soften the asperities of the
Irish, and the sooner this is recognised the better,
for the welfare of the country is of more conse-
quence than the triumph of any party.

Among the many travellers whom fortune or

This morning, shortly after three o'clock, a fire,
which for a short time illuminated the south side of '
the .River Thames, broke out in the London,
Brighton, and South Coast Railway station at
London Bridge, and at one time threatened the
most disastrous consequences. It appears that
at the time of the outbreak there were only
about three persons on duty at the station, and
their attention was suddenly attracted to the
vaults under the platform by seeing an immense
volume of smoke pouring up and enveloping the
interior of the station. The vaults and a shed build-
ing over were used as oil stores and lamp rooms,
and judging from the rapidity of the fire there
must have been a considerable quantity of oil or
other combustible matter in the place, for in less
time than the company's fire-engine could be
wheeled over the platform the smoke changed
to huge sheets of flame, and, lapping over by
the force of the wind, fired three first-
class and one second-class carriage. The engine
was at once got ready for work, but there were not
"sufficient persons on the spot to man it, and nothing
could be done until the arrival of the London
Salvage Corps from Southwark Bridge-road and
Watling-street. Mr. Superintendent Swanton, and
Mr. Cooper, the foreman, at once ordered the men
to get the company's engine to work, but the
flames had then obtained too firm a hold to suc-
cumb to the power of one engine, and the necessary
intelligence having been dispatched to the stations
of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade several engines
and a powerful body of fireme❑ arrived. A large
land steam engine by Shand, Mason, and Co. was
at once set to work from an abundant supply of
water furnished by the Southwark Company, which
was very fortunate, for an immense wooden tank on
the station which supplied the company's engine took
fire several times, and the hose had to be directed
upon it to save it from destruction, and by that
means the weight of water was obliged to be with-
drawn from the principal seat of the conflagration
in the arches. By great perseverance, however, on
the part of the firemen and the London Salvage
Corps the fire was eventually arrested in its pro-
gress, and no further loss to property occurred.

inclination is bringing over to our shores a very
distinguished individual has arrived almost unno-
ticed. On Tuesday last JEFFERSON DAVIS, ex-
President of the Confederate States of America,
landed in Liverpool by the Allan steamer Austrian,
and was warmly welcomed by the few who were
aware of his coming. Some of the more prominent

sympathisers with the Southern cause went on
board to meet him, and were received with charac-
teristic courtesy. Afterwards he was conducted to
the Adelphi Hotel, where he intends to remain
for a day or two. As soon as his arrival be-
came known a considerable crowd assembled
who cheered Mr. DAvis loudly, thus paying tribute
to courage in adversity and fortitude under most
startling vicissitudes. Two or three years back
JEFFERSON DAVIS was at the head of a great Con-
federation, the nominal ruler of States whose terri-
tory would divide into a dozen European kingdoms.
He was the commander-in-chief of a formidable
army, whose generals represented the first military
talent in the world, and whose successes might riva
the most famous achievements of history. It was
more than possible that he might see his efforts
crowned with triumph, and close his days
the honoured and respected chief of a great and
populous Republic. A turn of fort tine's wheel, and
the statesman at the head of his Calinet, the mili-
tary superior of men like LEE and JACKSON, was a
prisoner iu the hands of relentless toes, whose
hatred was the more bitter front the kindred race.
The public feeling was against him, and tk Le passions
of the furious war bad not died out. H is enemies
did not scruple to circulate malicious falsehoods
respecting him, and au attempt vas made ; to fasten
upon the high-minded gentleman, those chief fault
as a ruler was his leniency and m aguanimi.ty, the
stigma of collusion with the assass ins of ABiti.tum
LINCOLN. Had another man. than President
JOHNSON been at the head of affe airs the result might
have beendifferent. As it is,Au Arica has keen spared

REMARKS.
The diminution in atmospherical pressure during the last twenty-
four hours has been about two-tenths of an inch in the north of our
islands, but on our south and west coasts it ha; been leas. The least
pressures are on our north coast, and the greatest in the west of
France: there is a difference in readings between Nairn and Roche-
fort of four-tenths. Temperature is lower in the north and west, but
elsewhere it is nearly.the same. The wind has been and still is mode-
rate :it is generally from the south-west. Rain has been general on
our south and west coasts, as well as in France. Thunder is reported
fl .nn our N.E. coast. The weather is generally overcast, with mist
and fog prevailing in the south.

The English squadron, under the command of
Lord Clarence Paget, is making a sort of triumphal
progress from port to port of the Adriatic. The
reception it had recently at Venice wiil, it is thought,
be equalled by the welcome that awaits the squa-
dron at Trieste. The arrival of the fleet at this
port is expected by the 6th or the 7th instant, and
it is said that Admiral Tegethoff has received orders
to prepare for its reception.
A contract has been signed by M. Rouher, on the
part of Government, an* by M. Plon, the Emperor's
editor, and M. Norbert Billar 1, the former editor
of the Moniteur, for an official paper, to be entitled
henceforth Journal Ofticiel de l'Empire Francais,
which, instead of costing Government £16,000,000
per annum, will bring in a net profit of £8,000,000
a year.
M. de Keratry has once more applied to the
Minister of State for permission to publish several
documents in his possession bearing on the late
Mexican campaign, and most especially a series of
private letters exchanged between the Emperor
Napoleon and Maximilian. M. de Keratry awaits
M. Rouher's answer before he initiates the public
into these important papers.
The Empress will be present at the distribution
of prizes which takes place at the Lyce,e Bonaparte
next Monday. The Prince Imperial belongs to this
college, inasmuch as his education is directed by
one of its professors. It is reported that he is likely
to carry off the prize for mathematics. The Lyeee
Bonaparte, formerly College Royal de Bourbon,
has its principal entrance in the Rue du Havre,
near the station of the Varsailles Railu ay. The
buildings in which it is established were erected in
1781 for a convent of Capucius.
The approaching marriage of Princesss Margaret
of Orleans and Prince Theodore of Bavaria, brother
of the Empress of Austria, is announced.
The Rev. Arthur Baker, rector of Addington,
Bucks, who elicited from Mr. Disraeli some time
since an explanation of his views on Ritualism, is
just dead. He died, the Church News tells us, as a
devout Catholic, surrounded by his relations and
fortified with the sacraments of the Church.

There is little of interest from Russia except the accounts
of great fires, which are remarkably common, owing, of
course, to the prolonged drought. A day or two back the
town of Sestruesk was almost destroyed. Nearly 800
houses were burned down, and several lives were lost. The
town of Vytegra, in Central Russia, had a narrow escape.
A forest in which it is situated was set on fire, burned for
four days, and was not got under until it bad
reached within a hundred yards of the houses.
The conflagration of the peat-mosses and forests
in the neighbourhood of St. Petersburg continues
with great intensity. On the Nicolas Railway
the trains which start from the Russian capital " pass
through clouds of fire and smoke for a distance of 120
miles. Right and left of the line the fire is sixty miles
broad."
The General Secretary of the Amalgamated Society of
Engineers has taken a wise course with regard to the
threatening notices sent to several master engineers,
and purporting to have emanated from a " General
Secret Committee " of Trades 'Unions. He has
written to each employer who has received the
threat, stating that the whole affair is a hoax or worse.
As the secretary of the most influential of trade societies,
he is in a position to declare most positively that in con-
nection with trades unions there is no such body known as
a " Secret Committee." The title of "General Secret
Committee" has evidently been assumed by some weak-
minded individual or individuals who wish to gratify a
mischievous disposition in attempting to pass off a paltry
and senseless hoax. This is taking the most charitable
view of such conduct ; the only other light in which it
can be viewed is that of a wretched incendiary.
A case of breach of promise affords a glorious holiday
for a court of law, but, unfortunately, what is fun to
everyone else is frequently death to the defendant. Baron
Bramwell put the law of the case in a proper light at the
Leeds Assizes, when he told the jury not to give such
heavy damages that every man should be frightened
into marrying a woman who would make him unhapi y
for life, but rather to give the plaintiff a fair compensa-
tion. Juries in future will perhaps be a little more
merciful to a man who finds that he has made a hasty
promise, to fulfil which would be to mar his future life.
There are cases in which a man has done a woman an
irretrievable wrong, and deserves a fine which amounts
to a punishment if he refuse to marry her ; but t- a
majority of these cases are grossly unjust. The law courts
are hardly any protection for a woman of feeling and
refinement, while they offer every temptation
to the adventuress. Where the other sex is plain-
tiff he .is laughed out of court. In one case
a man very honestly and candidly wooed an elderly lady f( r
her money, and invested a considerable amount in marriage
preparations. The lady repented in time. Here was a
clear case of loss, but the judge told the man he never
knew a jury award a masculine plaintiff anything, and
accordingly they gave him one shilling damages. Apc r
milkman had to pay a servant girl £23, the only evideixe
being to the effect that he had been seen kissing her behind
the door when he came round with the milk. The jury
should have known that be only complied with a hallow,-
custom, common alike to himself, the policeman, the
butcher, the baker, and even the postman when not in a
hurry.

Mr. GLADSTONE has certainly began his canvass
early, and let no time elapse in making his inten-
tions
known. As usual his speech to the consti-
and distinguished for some of his
tuents was long,
notable phrases, finding truth here and there, and
scattering his' criticis:ns far and near as it suited
his purpose so to do. Ile began by saying that it
was the first time he addressed his audience, and
then launched upon a description of his doings since
he had had the honour of being member for South
Lancashire. This circumstances recalls to one's
mind in what divers steps the right
honourable gentleman has trod since these
days, and we may remember the famous saying in
his letter to a constituent at Oxford, that he did not
think the Irish Church was a public question on
