POLICE SUPERVISION OF UNCONVICTED CRIMINALS.

The Times calls attention to the urgent necessity
for securing a more effectual supervision of the
criminal classes. The case to which it especially
refers furnishes indisputable evidence of the demand
for fuller powers of prevention being placed in the
hands of our police. Three men, known by the con-
stable on duty to be returned transports, were
seen loitering about Gray's-inn-road together. He
watched them try some area gates, and having
procured assistance he followed them, and saw them
try to get into another house by means of a skeleton
key. They were secured, after a desperate struggle,
in which one of the constables was seriously hurt. The
Times comments upon the absurdity of the law which
forces a constable to wait passively until some crime
is attempted, giving the criminal time and oppor-
tunity of escape, and declares it would be as reason-
able to allow a mad dog to bite some one before
destroying it. An extraordinary list of previous
offences was proved against these three men.
Against one of them, Summers, there were ten
previous convictions for larceny, assault, and
concealment in houses. Another, Bennett, had been
eleven times in prison for larceny, assaulting the
police, robbery of plate, and skeleton-key larceny.
The third, Smith, has, since the tth of November,
1860, been sentenced to.eighteen months' hard labour
for a plate robbery, five years for a house robbery,
and six months for larceny. The Times points out
that after every release from custody these men take
to crime again as their natural profession, and their
convictions probably fail to represent anything like
the mischief which they have done. How many
crimes have they committed with impunity ? It has
been calculated that every criminal concerned in a
burglary escapes eight times out of nine, so that the
twenty convictions against Summers and Bennett
represent a pretty formidable aggregate. The oldest
of the three is only thirty-one, the others being
twenty-one and twenty-eight. The Times, there-
fore, encouragingly reminds us that they have the
best part of their lives still before them, and asks if it
is not madness to turn them loose upon society
out any supervision of their proceedings. The answer
is obvious, and it is quite time that desperate
criminals were deprived of the right to turn our
social liberty to such bad account.

MR. AMPILL

'The Conservatives of Bromsgrove have given a public
dinner to celebrate the return of Mr. Amphlett. The hon.
member made a speech on the occasion, in which he
thanked the electors for the support he had received at
the late election, and in referring to public questions ad
mitted that a large majority had been returned to Parlia
meat in favour of Mr. Gladstone's views on the Irish
Church question. He believed that Mr. Disraeli had
acted in accordance with the spirit of the Con.
stitution in resigning at once, and in not putting
any obstacles in the way of his successors.
Mr. Amphlett referred to the mode in which the majority
had been obtained, and contended that the whole scope
and extent of the Liberal policy respecting the Irish
Church had not been put before the country. He declared
that a great distinction existed between the terms of dis-
establishment and disendowment, and that the Opposition
possessed strong vantage ground by this means. The
hon. member did not believe that the House of Com.
mons would deprive those places in Ireland of their
ministers whichwere Protestant, and the Opposition, if in
a minority, could do much in this respect. In conclusion
Mr. Amphlett expressed his belief that Mr. Gladstone
would modify his views when he came to consider the
Conservative tendency displayed in the late general
election by the important English counties. At any rate he
would find great disfavour with the people of this country
if they saw their wishes disregarded to suit the Scotch and
Irish majorities.

for malffiEcinthi rind, iiebbdly, that the Go-tettundht at
Athens has no legal control over these volunteers, and is
not answerable for their deeds. On this principle any
nation may carry on war by means of volunteers, and yet
the injured State have no redress.

The Times says there is as yet nothing to indicate a
peaceful settlement of the dispute ; still, the temper of
the Great Powers is such that any other event is very im-
probable. The correspondence between the Turkish
Ambassador at Athens and the Greek Foreign Minister is*
quite decisive as to the right of the quarrel. It confirms
the views the Times has taken of the unscrupulous cones'
duct of the Greek a overmnent—a conduct which it is now
sought to justify by doctrines subversive of all national
security. No antiquarian sentiment and no pity for weak-
ness should lead us to tolerate proceedings so mis-
chievous. Later news from the scene of trouble shews
that diplomacy is more and more at fault. The Greeks
are making great preparations for war, relying much upon
insurrections in several parts of the Ottoman Empire.
The blockade of Syra is continued by seven vessels.
The Athens Courier makes a very strange announce..
ment. It is that the Revolutionary " Government " of
Crete has appointed a Charge d'Affaires at Washington,
and that he has been received, though not officially, by
Mr. Seward. This representative of a mythical Cabinet
has written to General Prim asking for the recognition of
t'ae Provisional Government.

TIIE CASE OP PRISCILLA BIGGADIKE.

Mr. Beggs, the secretary of the Society for the
Abolition of Capital Punishment, has written to the
editor of the Star in reference to the case of Priscilla
Biggadike. This woman, it will be remembered,
was sentenced to death at Lincoln for the murder of
her husband. The case presents few extenuating
features, and Mr. Beggs pleads for mercy for the
condemned on general rather than on particular
grounds. He urges that the wretched and degraded
condition in which the Biggadikes lived—husband,
wife, three children, and two male lodgers occupying
one room—forbids us to expect moral or rational
conduct. " When men and women are degraded to
the level of brutes, we must expect manners appro-
priate to the degradation." No punishments, however
terrible, will deter such abject creatures from the
commission of crime, since the future to them is
always vague and remote. The jealousy of Bigga-
dike produced violent quarrels and ill-usage of his
wife, who to get rid of him put poison in a cake.
Mr. Beggs finds a still stronger argument for the
abolition of capital punishmentin the mistake recently
made in the conviction of the man Sweet, at
Taunton, for a murder he did not commit.

BRIGHTON IN A BAD WAY.

There are serious complaints from Brighton that
the season has been a sad failure. Everything has
" gone to the bad," because the usual visitors have
either never come or have not stayed. Lodging-
house keepers are in despair, and hotel-keepers have
no prospect of doing better than asking relief in the
Bankruptcy Court. The stocks laid in by shop-
keepers remain on their _hands for want of customers.
Worse than that even, the young ladies who specu-
late in the matrimonial market at this fashionable
watering-place don't "go off," for the same reason,
it must be added, that shopkeepers have sustained
so great a loss. The Brighton folk blame the
general election, but as pretty well every other
i place n Britain had the same thing to
complain of, this excuse for failure can hardly
apply. It is far more probable that Brighton
has brought misfortune upon itself by its extrava-
gant demands upon visitors ; for though those who
resort to the Sussex watering-place are generally
wealthy enough people, it does not follow that they
are disposed to pay any price for the pleasure of sea-
side residence. There are many competitors nowa-
days, and other places, which offer quite as many
attractions, and at a less cost, get the preference. It
is also complained that Brighton labours under the
disadvantage of defective drainage ; and, altogether,
the place is in the way of getting a bad name. There
may be time enough for mending matters even now,
but the sooner the Brightonians set about their im-
provements the better.

savagely assaulting Mary Shean, who presented
herself in court with an ugly surgical patch on her
forehead.

The prisoner has been for some time in the receipt
of parochial relief, from the Poplar Union. She
received her money on Wednesday, got drunk, and
quarrelled with several persons. Meeting the
complainant, a poor old decrepit woman, also
a native of Ireland, she commenced abusing her,
and a fearful scale of riot and disorder took
place. Mrs. Dillon armed herself with a
poker, and struck Mrs. Sheen a terrible blow on
the head, inflicting a severe wound. She fell, and
lost a large quantity of blood before her head was
dressed.

Inspector Smith, of the K division, said that the
prisoner made so much noise, and was guilty of so
much violence in the station-house, that he was
obliged to lock her up while he entered the charge
on a police sheet. She was in custody a fortnight
ago for being drunk and disorderly.
The prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Sheen
called her a very bad name.

Another witness said that the prisoner made a
blow at her with the poker.
The Prisoner—lt was the drops of drink.
Mr. Paget—The bottom of everything wrong.
In this case it appears you were receiving parish
relief, and got drunk with the money. It is a most
scandalous malappropriation of the money of the
ratepayers, and the relieving officers will no doubt
make the proper inquiries, and prevent a repetition
of this. You are sentenced to a month's imprison-
ment and hard labour.

THE RELIGIONS OF CRIMINALS.

The Rev. W. Caine, chaplain of the New Gaol,
Manchester, has collected the biographies of 1,500
prisoners. Some of the facts are very interesting.
He gives the religions of these prisoners. He
says that, of a thousand prisoners, 502 belonged
to the "United Church of
England and Ireland,"
347 were Roman Catholics, 100 Methodists,
and five Presbyterians. The Jews are rather
a numerous section of our population, and yet
there was only one prisoner of that " persuasion,"
while the Swedenborgians, who cannot be very pro-
lific here, contributed two. perhaps a fact of greater
specific gravity is bound up in the statement that of
the 649 Protestants, 693 had attended Sunday-
schools, upon an average, six or seven years each.
It must be remembered that a prisoner without a
religion has one found for him. He is pitchforked
into the " United Church of England and Ireland,"
without any preliminary instruction in the Catechism
or examination in the Thirty-nine Articles,

THE WAR IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The army of Lopez is now becoming disorganised. It
is estimated to comprise only about 6,000 able-bodied men,
hut the movements of this force are hampered by a
large number of old men, women, and children. The
accounts from the seat of war—which, however, all come
by way of Brazil—represent the ParaLt ayan Dictator as
incapable of making any effectual resistance.
It appears that of all the foreigners resident in Para-
guay, only one, a French musician, was at liberty when Mr.
Washburn, the American Minister, left. Two members of
the American Legation had been seized and detained. M.
Liberta, Chancellor of the French Consulate, had been
thrown into prison on a charge of complicity in the recent
revolt against Lopez. Besides these, about one hundred
Italians, fifty French, and several English, including an
engineer and two physicians, bad been placed under
restraint. The cause of these arrests was, in the first
place, an order from Lopez that all foreigners should leave
Asuncion, which Mr. Washburn, in his diplomatic capa-
city, refused to obey ; and, next, the presumption that
some of the foreign residents had stolen money from the
Government. •

SURPRISES.

A tale has been circulated to the effect that the elec-
tions are to be postponed, and the issuing of the writs
delayed on the plea of a request of the Queen. The
announcement has caused a great outcry of indigna-
tion. The Times denies that any such postponement
will take place, but the circulation of the rumour has
given rise to a considerable amount of plain-speaking,
and it is evident that Mr. Disraeli is considered very
much like an eel, rather difficult to catch, and
extremely difficult to hold when caught. We have
reason to believe that there is no foundation for the
rumour.

ENGLISH FINANCING IN BELGIUM.

If we may believe the persons involved in the
" Affair e Doulton," there never was a more persecuted
company then the " Public Works Company" of
Brussels. That organisation has buffeted huge waves
that wouldhave overwhelmed aweaker one. Engineer-
ing impossibilites have been conquered ; financial
difficulties innumerable have been overcome ; and now,
when it is on its way to prosperity, it is met by a per-
secution from the men of Brussels, who, for reasonsnot
stated, are envying its likelihood of success. These
men first attempt to ruin the company by making
extortionate demands, then turn round, com-
mit perjury, charge the directors with breaches
of agreement (which are certainly not the
best which might be made on the part of the
company), and bring further charges of fraud against
them. The charges are heard in a court where the
defendant cannot substantiate his facts or sufficiently
cross-examine the witnesses. Nevertheless, be it
noted, that Mr. Doulton and his friends hope to sur-
mount even this big wave.

LOST YOUTII !

Oh, when did poet-dreams
Ever shape forth such fairy land as youth !
Gossamer hopes, pearlod with the dews of morn,
Gay valour, bounding light on walcorno peril—
Errors themselves, the sparkling overflow,
Of life as headlong, but as pure as streams
That rush from sunniest hill-tops kissing heaven—
Lo ! that is youth. Look on my soul, old man,
Well—is it not more grey than those blanched hairs ?

The dial needs the suu ;
But love reflects the image of the loved,
Tho' every beam be absent!

NATURE'S BLESSINGS.
Fortune stints gold to some ; impartial Nature
Shames her in proffering more than gold to all—
Joy in the sunshine, beauty on the earth,
And love reflected in the glass of conscience ;
Aro these so mean ? Place grief and guilt beside them,
Docked in a sultan's splendour, and compare !
The world's most royal heritage is his
Who most enjoys, most loves, and most forgives.

MIL ➢LILNER GIBSON ON THE IRISH CHURCH.

Still the Irish Church. The one subject uppermost
in the minds of all public men is this one. It is
quite a relief to turn from this to Lord Napier
of Magdala, at Portsmouth, for instance, or to
the manly utterances of the Marquis of Salisbury on
India. But the talking about the Irish Church must
inevitably be done. Mr. Milner Gibson went the
right way to work at Ashton on Tuesday. He said
he had little new to say, but it was necessary to
sr.y it, because " great political truths ought to be
repeated again and again, in order to make an im-
pression upon that solid and dense mass of prejudice
which they knew too often existed in this country."
He then went over the arguments, comparing Scot-
land with Ireland, criticising the report of the
royal commission, and claiming that the Liberal
plicy was the truly national one.
MILL, THE COUNTRY'S CONSCIENCE-KEEPER.

Mr. Samuel Warren Burton writes to Mr. Mill to
ask him certain questions about his subscription to
Mr. Bradlaugh's election fund. Mr. Mill gives his
reasons for subscribing. He wishes the working
classes to be represented, and he hopes the new
Parliament will see the " commencement of measures
calculatedto improve the material andsocial condition
of the mass of the people ; and this cannot be ex-
pected unless the suffering as well as the prosperous
classes are represented in the House, and represented
by men who are capable of making their voices
heard," There is no doubt that Mr. Bradlaugh is
quite capable of making " his voice heard,"
and it is probable that he would be a very
noisy and disagreeable member; but that he would
represent the working classes is more than doubtful.
Mr. Burton is anything abut satisfied that Mr. Mill
should support a confirmed atheist. Mr. Mill has a
finger in another pie. His opinion is asked as to the
candidature of Mr. Howell for Aylesbury, and the
philosopher scribbles off a testimonial in the style of
those which a country squire might give to the
promising son of his butler when he aspires to be a
clerk. This sort of thing is the fashion just now,
and, like other fashions, must have its clay. The
shorter the day the better.

A NEW COMMERCIAL FOLLY.

ii.nds to the extent of two millions make

tneir appearance almost every montn, anu uur, a ttei-iant•
to the extent of £4,000,000 is said to be forthcoming.
These railways are unobjectionable enough, but they are no

prise carried beyond due limits. As the Times City

RUSSIA.

The most lamentable details of the social state of Russia
are given by the Press of Vienna. The market is repre-
sented to be bad. Incendiary fires are increasingly
numerous, and occur on days fixed in advance by anony-
mous letters addressed to owners and residents. The
Government has been compelled to discharge a great
number of subaltern employes, and these latter public
opinion accuses of having robbed the public treasury.
Thus, 450,000 roubles (4f. each) were abstracted from the
General Receiver's office at \Vladimir, 56,000 from that of
Riazan, and 45,000 from the fund at Moscow. At the
last fair of Nijni-Novogorod forged notes of fifty roubles
were circulated so abundantly that the merchants, who
had come from all countries to this commercial market,
sustained considerable losses. The State itself is a victim
of these forgeries, for the public treasuries swarm with
false paper.
