LAW AND POLICE.

HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAILWAY COMPANY,--
At the Leeds Assizes an action was brought by Miss Clay,
a teacher of music, who resides at Bradford, against the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. On the
7th March last year she was a second-class passenger on
the defendants' railway, and going to Huddersfield, when
a collision took pace in the Bowling Tunnel. The
plaintiff was in a carriage which was broken all to pieces,
and crowbars had to be used to separate the broken wood•
work and to liberate her legs, which were badly jammed
in. The accident arose in this way. -he engine of
the train in which the plaintiff was broke down in the
tunnel, and a train from Leeds, for Low Moor; ran into the
tunnel at full speed because the signalman had neglected
his duty. Miss Clay was prevented from pursuing her
profession, which formerly yielded £2OO per annum. The_
fury awarded £1,500 damages.
ACTION AGAINST THE REGISTRAR OF A COUNTY
Counr.— At the same assizes an action was brought by
Mr. Williamson, a grocer, at Huddersfield, against 'the
registrar of the county court in that town for neglect in
issuing a summons. The plaintiff on the 7th Dec. levied
under a bill of exchange against a person named Challon.
The plaintiff wanted £25185., and execution should have
issued on the 7th December, but it was not put in force
until the 15th, and all that time was lost to the plaintiff.
Judgment could not issue until the Ist of January, and
the bailiff then was required by law to wait five
days before he could sell. During those five
days Challon became bankrupt on his own petition, and
the plaintiff's execution was forestalled. For the defence,
it was contended that the neglect was an accident. The
fury awarded £5 damages.

STACK-FIRING BY A RAILWAY ENGINE.—An action.which,
raised the important point as to whether a railway com-
pany can be sued for damages occasioned by sparks from
one of their engines has just been tried at Leeds. The
plaintiff was a farmer at Darston, and lived close by the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. He had a
straw stack within thirty-eight yards of the railway points.
As a train was passing, a piece of live coal from the funnel of
the engine ignited the stacks, which, with a quantity of.
farm produce, were destroyed. It was proved by wit-
nesses that at a cost of £2 an apparatus could be obtained
which would effectually prevent the emission of live coal
from an engine. His lordship observed that if there was
a known mode of preventing the emission of sparks, the
railway company were bound to use it ; and if all the rail-
way companies in England chose rather to run the risk of
fires than to pay the expense of preventing them, they
must abide by the consequences. The jury gave £134
damages.

THE ROBBERY FROM THE rIILTENEY HOTEL.—At the
Central Criminal Court Alfred Ball was indicted for
stealing a quantity of plate from the Pulteney Hotel,
where he was employed ; and Elizabeth Brown, George
Henfrey, and Emily Henfrey, were indicted for receiving
the same knowing it to have been stolen. Ball pleaded
guilty, and it was proved that the other prisoners
had been dealing with the property a very short time after
it had been stolen, and on
_their premises being searched
some of the articles and a crucible for melting were dis-
covered. Mrs. Henfrey was acquitted, as the jury
believed that she acted under the control of her husband,
but all the others were convicted. Ball and. Humphrey,
against whom previous convictions were proved, were sen.
tented to seven and teu years' penal servitude respec-
tively, and Brown, who is 64 years of age, was recom-
mended to mercy, and was ordered to be imprisoned for a
month.

In a return received from a chief constable by
,he parish authorities, which records the dismissal of one
of their police-officers, the crime is stated to be, " For
attempting to marry his wife, being alive."
THE DISASTER AT CADORE.—The loss of property
)ccasioned by the fall of a mountain on the village of
Ca.ncia, has been estimated at a million of lire. The three
stone bridges of Peaio, Brunian, and Vallesina were washed
the deluge. The Minister of the Interior and the
away of Belluno have given 1,500 lire each fur

the amount of pauperism among us is something
startling. It is surely worth while to inquire
what class of persons furnishes the larger pro-
portion of inmates, and how it is that they
are sufficiently wanting in self-respect to prefer the
►miserable dependence of the pauper to the honest
industry of the working man or woman. The first
figures which meet us on our analysis are somewhat
surprising. Of these 96,079 paupers, 3,060 of the
men and 9,200 of the women were able-bodied, or,
in other words, just about one-eighth of this large
mass of poverty should have been self-supporting,
and the remaining seven-eighths were thrown upon
the charity of their fellows for support by sick-
ness, old age, infancy, imbecility, or other causes
beyond their own control. We were most of us
aware from frequent reiteration of the fact by
persons who have made it their business to explore
these prison-like hospitals that the term workhouse
had become a misnomer, but probably few were
actually acquainted with the real state of the case.
Of the adults included in the grand sum total,
46,853 were not ablebodied, 8,372 were lunatics
and imbeciles, 36,966 were children under 16,
29,178, or nearly one-third of the whole of the in-
mates,were on the medical relief books, and of these
more than 4,000 were acute cases. Nearly 7,000
more were aged and infirm, and 9,935 were
chronic cases, while 6 more required extra diet
only. On the 1.-A of last January another census
was made, when the nu►nbers were of course
proportionately higher than in the previous July.
there were then in our English workhouses
119,905 persons; 7,373 of the men, and 12,510 of
the women being able-bodied ; 56,764 adults were
not able-bodied ; 8,754 being imbecile or lunatic ;
43,278 were children under 16. The same sad

items figure in the list—age and infirmity, chronic
disease, fever and zytnotic cases, and cases requir-
ing extra diet only. With these statistics before
us we may well ask whether our whole workhouse
system is not based upon a mistake; and whether,
when we pride ourselves upon the excellence of our
free hospitals, we are sufficiently mindful of the
vast army of sufferers in mind and body who
drag out their dreary days within the walls of the
parish workhouse. Every humane man would

shrink from the thought of neglecting or ill-using
the helpless and suffering ; but neglect and ill-
usage are too common unless more than ordinary
vigilance is exercised. One radical fault is the sys-
tem of pauper nursing. The able-bodied fcmales
iu the workhouses are, as a rule, most unfavourable
specimens of their class. Some of them, of course,
are driven there by stress of misfortune, by the
care of a family, &c. ; but very often they are
drunken and degraded, and very willing to ac-
cept the office of nurse for the sake of the extra
allowance, the better rations, and other small
advantages. One of these women takes charge of
a whole ward, containing perhaps forty or fifty
beds. The best trained, most untiring, and expe-
rienced nurse might well fail to discharge her duties
adequately in such circumstances, but a woman
whose ignorance is only equalled by her indiffer-
ence is certain to neglect her charges. Yet many
painful cases of lingering and chronic disease, of
crippling rheumatism, so common among the poor,
of paralysis, of cancer, of bad legs, and a dozen
other of the ills which flesh is heir to, are driven to
the workhouse infirmary for shelter, and to them
kind and skilful nursing offers the only chance
of ease or alleviation. In many work
houses the rules for admitting visitors are
needlessly strict and exclusive, so that the sufferer's
friends and relations, if he has any, are precluded

have not hitherto had much chance of
having their rights protected or their opi-
nions respected. A significant sign of the
times is to be found in the appeal just published
by the Republican Committee of New York, call-
ing upon the Republicans of that State to awaken
from their apathy and fight against the Demo-
crats. If the Empire State shows a degree of
apathy in the matter, the confident assertion of
the Democrats that the Republicans are losing
ground all through the North is not so extravagant
as it appears at first sight.

The EMPEROR'S fete has passed off favourably,
and this is fortunate under the circumstances, as
anxiety prevailed in many quarters respecting public
feeling. Although, strictly speaking, the 15th of
August is not the fete of the present EMPEROR, it
will always be looked upon as virtually so ; and the
notion obtains favour from combining the recollec-
tions of the past with the associations of the pre-
sent. The illuminations in the evening of Saturday
were most brilliant, and crowds thronged the
Boulevards, enjoying the animated scene. Most

fortunately the weather was favourable, and the rain
held off till the night was advanced. Ihe seasonable
change was welcomed by thosewho had long suffered
from the intense heat ; but, of course, general satis-
faction prevailed that the grand display of the pre-
vious day bad not been spoiled by the adverse
influence of unpropitious weather. So far as we
can judge just now it appears that all has gone
well. The EMPEROR has forwarded to the Marshal
Commanding-in-Chief his acknowledgments of the
services of those present at the review, and the
gratification he felt at their soldierly appearance in
the field and their fine attitude ; and, as in duty
bound, the Marshal has hastened to communicate
the felicitous intelligence to the different corps. It
is said that the regular army cheered the EMPEROR
more unanimously than did the National Guard; but
this may be merely supposition, and, at any rate,
nothing appeared on any side calculated to convey an
unfavourable impression of the feelings of those
present. The appearance of the troops was magni-
ficent, and if a stray observer was present de-
puted by Count BISMARCK to watch the proceed-
ings he may return to tell the tale of French
brilliancy in military matters in language otherwise
than pleasant to his interlocutor. The usual acts
of grace have been performed, and commutations of
punishment have been granted to the soldiers in
military prisons, and to convicts in penitentiaries
and other correctional establishments. The
day was kept as a strict holiday, and
the Bourse, with other public offices, was closed.
The Minister of Finance has reported to the En-
PEROR the extraordinary success of the subscription
to the loan. This is indeed surprising, and niust
reassure the moat wavering minds as to the stAbi-

lily of the present Government. Nearly thirty-
four times the sum required has been furnished.
The Minister declares that, without exaggeration,

Barometrical pressures are higher in the S.W. of Ireland, and on
the west coast of France, but have decreased on other coasts, princi-
pally on the south and east coasts of England. The least pressure,
29.55 inches, is at Portsmouth, differing from that at Valencia by
half an inch. Temperature is lower at western and southern stations.
Strong winds from the northward prevailed ye6terday evening in the
south of England, and have increased to a northerly gale now
blowing at Plymouth and Holyhead. At Toulon a north-westerly
gale is repDrted. Rain has been heavy and continuous on the Channel
coast. Thunder and lightning have occurred at Liverpool and in
London. The weather is misty in the north, and generally overcast
on other coasts.

The remaining detachment of the mounted A
troop of the Royal Engineer train arrived at Chat-
ham yesterday from Aldershott, and took up camp-
ing ground at Wouldham, near Rochester, where
th ey are to undergo a course of pontooning instruc-
tion. The total strength of the troop is four
officers, nine sergeants, 17 corporals, two buglers,
and 158 artificers and sappers , with 139 horses, and
20 pontoon waggons.
Lieut. Ernest Rice was on Saturday appointed to

A curious story is told by the Berlin correspondent of the
Daily NCUT. A few days ago, he says, a stranger named
Leroi put up at the principal hotel at Hersfeld, a little town
half•way between Cassel and Fulda. He described himself
as a painter, of Paris ; but he was suspected, and finally
watched by the police. It was soon found that the
" painter " was taking very exact sketches of the town and
the neighbourhood. Ile was " visited," and it was then
discovered that he was not only a painter, but also a
French captain, and a member of the general
staff. The landrath immediately took possession of all
M. Leroi's papers, which he must hare found a very inte-
resting study. Besides the numerous sketches, there were
many extracts from works referring to military history;
also an exact memorandum of the houses of the town, the
numbers of men that could be quartered in them, and
notes for the best distribution of the cavalry and infantry.
The landrath went to Cassel for instructions, and the
Prussian General Plonski wished to have the 'culprit
forwarded to that city under escort. But the landrath,
though evidently a shrewd man, must also be a good-
natured one, for at his representations the' general gave
up his more wrathful intentions, and M. Leroi was allowed
to escape on giving a written promise to return to France
without loss of time.

A correspondent of the Libert4 sends a strange medley
of uncertainties. It is reported that the infant daughter
of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier is dead ; but
this requires confirmation. There is talk of a rising in
Arragon, but no details of the same. Troops have been
sent out in various directions, but it is impossible to learn
their destination. This is a cheerful and essentially a
Spanish state of affairs. It seems pretty certain that
there is trouble and danger of some kind in the Peninsula,
though its extent and precise nature are altogether
enigmatical. It is not at all clear that the Government
is even temporarily free from its troubles.

A letter from Casablanca, Morocco, in the Sema-
phore of Marseilles, says :—" Here there is no case
of cannibalism to deplore; but what suffering and
misery these poor people have had to undergo! The
principal cause, in my opinion, is that the exporta-
tion of cereals is at all times absolutely prohibited,
and, further, they cannot be transported by sea
from one point of the coast to another, as the removal
by land is costly and very difficult the grain forcedly
rests at the place of its production. A large num-
ber of rich proprietors of the interior have opened
silos (trenches to hold corn cut in the ground),
which had been closed and almost forgotten for 10
or 12 years. The wealth of the Moors consists first
of the possession of numerous deposits of that kind
filled with wheat, and next of silver five franc
pieces, which they inter in the ground. At the
trice which corn attained last winter these people
have realised sums relatively enormous, but the new
harvest has not arrived any too soon, Ili everything
was exhausted—everything was consumed, even the
wheat which was almost uneatable from being under
ground so long. You will easily understand how
many victims the cholera would make amongst so
suffering a population. The ravages of the scourge,
which may be called the epidemic of hunger, are
therefore beyond all proportion with what takes
place in Europe in similar cases. Casablanca, which
is only a small place, the inhabitants of which are
.stimated at 2,000 or 3,000, lost in fifty days about
one-fourth of its number.

The protest of the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier
against the order which has condemned them to exile
denies altogether the assertion that their names have been
made the war-cry of insurrection. Their influence, their
Royal Highnesses allege, is not sufficiently great to render
them the head of a party ; and they do not hesitate to
suggest that the evils which afflict Spain have been caused
by those who occupy a higher position than they. Now,
as the Queen is really the only personage who ranks
higher than her sister and brother-in-law, this allusion to
the errors of her Majesty is direct. The Duke an 1 Duche:
also declaim vigorously against those councillors who,whilst
professing to allow them free choice of residence, have
secretly intrigued with the Portuguese Government to
prevent them residing in Portugal.

The correspondent of the Post announces tltat the insur-
gents have been beaten in several encounters, and the
revolution market is therefore dull and declining. He,
however, adds that two leaders have each 4,000 men
under his command, and that the Government has
to employ one-fifth of its entire army against
these insurgent forces. The " reconciliation" between
President Juarez and the Pope excited great
interest in the peacCul and clerical empire. The letter
of the Pope has not teen published, but the writer has no
doubt that ( ne was receivL 1, " and that six new bishops
will soon arrive here, sent by the Holy Father to look
after the sadly-stricken Chum')." The writer adds, that
all Mexicans are nominally Catholics, and Juarez himself
has long been said to suffer from remorse at the thought of
the wounds which he has inflicted on the Church ; but
this repentance caluot be very deep, as only a few days
ago he permitte 1 the church of San Andreas to be
demolished, because, on the occasion of the anniversary
requiem mass said within its walls for the repose of the
soul of Maximil'an, the congregation were too earnest in
their manifesta'ions of sorrow at the fate of the late
Emperor. The demolition of the ;church was commenced
at night by a detachment of soldiers, and has been since
