THE STRAND UNION AND DR. ROGERS.

Sir J. SIMEON asked the Secretary to the Poor-law
Board what were the grounds on which the Boardaceepted
the resignation of Dr. Rogers, the late medical officer of
the Strand Union; and whother that resignation implied
anything unfavourable to the character or to the profes-
sional ability of Dr. Rogers? . _ _

Sir M. BLit)lf said in December last the Board of
Guardians suspended Dr. Rogers, on the ground of his
continual antagonism to them. The Poor Law Board,
after considering the matter, considered the guardians
were right in requestino that gentleman to resign, and in
notifying the same to the Poor Law Board, regretted that
Dr. Rogers had placed himself in such a position, the more
so as he was a gentleman of such high character and pro-
fessional ability.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.

Mr. STOCK asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether the law in Ireland was the same as that iu Eng-
land with regard to the treatment of prisoners convicted of
seditious libel?

The Earl of MAYO said there was no such classification
with respect to persons found guilty of misdemeanours in
Ireland such as existed in England. In this country the
judge had the power of ordering whether the offender
should b 3 confined as a first-class misdemeanant, and the
regulations for the: reatment of such persons were made
by the justices at the sessions.

FORTIFICATIONS.

Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to tho Treasury
whether the Treasury minute, dated the 16th August,
1867, for the audit of the sums granted for fortifications
annually had boon carried into effect, and whether the
results would be laid upon the tabl,t.

Mr. S. BOOTIE said the audit was being carried out,
and the result would be laid on the table with the least
possible delay.

ALLEGED BRITISII CAPTIVES.

Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the Secretary of State for
India if it was the intention of the Government to send
out any person to the East Coast of Africa to inquire into
the truth of a report that there wore detained as prisoners,
by the Somali tribe, some survivors of the ship St. Abbs,
which was wrecked off Tenadi Nuova in 1855.
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he had received a deputa-
tion from the Geographical Society on this subject, the ob-
ject of which was to have some person sent out by the
Government to inquire into the truth of such a statement.
The Government could not consent to empower any person
to act in such a matter with a country with which we had
no diplomatic relations. The deputation also recom-
mended that a reward should bo offered for reliable in-
formation ou the matter, and the Government had directed
the police resident at Aden to offer such reward, and that
was all that had been done in the matter at present.
THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S ARMY.

Mr. BRUEN asked the Secretary of State for India
when the bonus committee sitting in India was likely to
come to a settlement of claims to compensation mado by
officers iu the late East India Company's army.
Sir S. NORTIICOTE said there were several commit-
tees sitting in the different Residencies at which the claims
were being oonsidered. As fast as the recommendations
arrived with respect to the claims those persons entitled
received their compensation.

DUNABURG AND WITEPSK.

The directors in their report propose that the
dividend should be £2 per share (less income tax),
being at the rate of 5 per cent. on the nominal capi-
tal of the company. The final result of the opera-
tions of the company was that the whole undertak-
ing had been completed for less than £BO per share,
instead of £B3, as originally estimated. The ex-
penditure on capital account amounted to £2,222,000,
but this was reduced by £157,211, received from
the Russian Government on account of the guaran-
tee, to £2,068,463.

THE P.RBIWIER UPON THE CRISIS.

There has just been published an important letter,
which has been addressed by the Right Ron. B. Disraeli
to the Earl of Dartmouth, in reply to a memorial, exr
pressing confidence in MS Premiership, forwarded to the
right hon. gentleman by the Council of the National
Union, and of the Constitutional Associations connected
with that body. The letter is as follows :
" 10, Downing-street, March 24, 1868.

"-My Lord,—l have received with pride and gratitude
the memorial of the Council of the National Union, and
of the Constitutional Associations connected with that
body, in which they express their confidence in me, and
their ' thorough determination' to support by all means
in their power the Government I have formed by the
command and with the approval of her Majesty.
" Such expressions of feeling on the part of influential
bodies of my countrymen are encouragingly opportune.
"We have heard something lately of the crisis of Ire-
In my opinion the crisis of England is rather at hand;
:or the pupose is now avowed, and that by a powerful
party, of destroying that sacred union between Church and
State which has hitherto been the chief means of our
civilisation and is the only security for our religious liberty.
—I have the honour to remain, my lord, yours sincerely,

establishments. Private charity is doing much
to relieve for a moment the more pressing cases
of distress, but any private attempts at help, how-
ever well organiied, must necessarily be of trifling
avail in stemming so terrible a calamity. When
crowds of workmen are already discharged from our
private shipyards and engineering establiAntent3
what hope of work can he entertained by the thou-
sands of men now brim, discharg.,l from the Royal
do.lkyards? It is understood :.hat those wen arc
bijng, discharged to enable the AdallrAly to appro-
priate the saw saved from the ....;1,1 Eitinlatea of
1868-9 in the form of wagi.ti to the coatutenonnent
of the buitling of two or three ironealS. If th;s
is really the case, 'a very serious blunder has been
committed by their Lorlships and their linancii,l
alvis...rs. It is certainly nceesiary to the cola-
try's defence that its ironclad squadrons should be
kept up, but this even must not be done at such a
fearful sacrifice. The only possible permanent re-
lief that can apparently be given under the circum-
stances would be for the Admiralty to reconsider
that portion of the Naval Estimates relating to
the reduction of hired mechanics and labourers,
and re-enter those men who have been so sum-
marily discharged from the several yards. If the
men discharged from the various dockyards are not
re-entered, some thousands of . men,' with their
families, must become permanent paupers.
The Colonelcy of the 63d Regiment of Foot is
vacant by the death of General Sir Thomas Kenha,
K.C.8., early yesterday morning, at the great age
of 86 years. The deceased entered the army in
August, 1799, and the same year served with his
regiment in E.olland. In 1801 he served in Egypt
under General Sir Ralph Abercromby ; and after-
wards, from 1808 to 1812, was on active service in
Sicily. lie subsequently joined the army in Spain,
and was on the staff as Assistant and afterwards as
Deputy Adjutant-General, at the head of the de-
partment. Ile had received the gold medal at the
Grand Seignior for the Egyptian campaign ; also
the silver war medal with one clasp ; was created
in 1818 a Companion of the Bath, in recognition
of his military services, and in 1865 was advanced
to the rank of Knight Commander.

BETTS'S CAPSULE PATENTS. —To prevent
infringements, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN,
that BETTS'S name is on every Capsule he makes for the
principal merchants of England and France, thus enabling
vendor, purchaser, and consumer not only to identify the
genuineness of the capsule, but likewise the contents of
the vessel to which it is applied. The Lord Chancellor,
in his judgment on the Bth inst., said—
" That the Capsules are not used merely for the purpose
of ornament, but that they are servicable in protecting the
Beer from injury and insuring its genuineness."

The Price of Gold.

The couree of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 1093 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

Tue quotation of gold at Faris] Is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. lie. per sterling.
On oJuiparing these rates with the English Mint price of
.£4 lis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appeass that
gOld iw about One-tenth dearer in Parte than is London.

THE TRADES UNION COMMISSION.

The Trades Union Commissioners have held another
sitting at their office in Great Queen•street, Westminster.
There were present Sir W. Erle, chairman, the Earl of
Lichfield, Lord Elcho, M.P., Sir D. Gooch, M.P., Mr.
T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P., Messrs. F.
Harrison, Merrivale, Brooks, and Matthews ; Mr. Trail
acting as secretary.
The witnesses examined were Mr. Woods, a coalmaster
in the Church Gresly distria, where the destitution hasbeen
existing between the miners and the coalowners for the
last twelve months.; and Mr. Henry Briggs and Mr. A.
Briggs, of the Whitwood Collieries, South Yorkshire,. and
who have been working these collieries for the last two
years on the co-operative or industrial partnership prin-
ciple. Mr. Normansell was present on behalf of the Opera-
tive Miners' National Association.

Mr. Woods was first examined. He entered into lengthy
details concerning the origin of the existing dispute in the
Church Gresly district, and gave a general denial to the
statements which had been publicly put forward by the
men. The masters opposed the introduction of the Miners'
Union into the district, because they knew it would desire
to interfere as to the manner in which they should con-
duct their business. The reason why the masters had
opposed arbitration was because they had obtained the
services of as many workmen as they required, and them
workmen were quite satisfied with the terms under which
they were engaged. He gave several illustrations of what
Eye alleged was trades union tyranny and dictation.
The Messrs. Briggs, in their examination, deposed more
particularly to the working of the co-operative system
they had introduced into their collieries, and described the
great advantages that had resulted from it, both morally
and pecuniarily, to masters and men. Since its introduc-
tion strikes bad been unknown, whilst previously they
were in constant collision with the union. Their men were
mostly members of the South Yorkshire Miners' Union, a
very powerful body. They had every reason to be satis-
fied with the result of the system they had introduced,
and thought it would tend to great good were it generally
acted upon in all establishments where a large amount of
labour was performed.
On Wednesday the commissioners met specially for the
purpose of taking the evidence of Mr. Pickles, one of the
managers at Messrs. Briggs' collieries, as to the many ad-
vantages attending the co-operative system of working as
applied by the Messrs. Briggs. That which had formerly
been antagonistic was now all in harmony.
The commissioners sit again on Tuesday next, when
several of the working miners are to be examined.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

TILE WAY STREET ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED.—
James Williams, a fellow well known to the police,
and Annie Dunbar, were charged before Mr. Knox
as suspected persons loitering in Carlton-street,
Regent-street, for the purpose of committing a
felony.

From the evidence of Gordon, 33 C, it appeared
that about nine o'clock the previous night, while
in company of two other officers, Shrives, 82 C, and
Cave, 33 C, all in plain clothes, he saw .;,the pri-
soner and another man and woman loitering about
Carlton-street and St. Alban's-place, Regent-
street, and saw the woman stop several gentlemen
and speak to them, the men standing a little way
off. Having watched them for some time, the party
walked away into Charks-street, where the woman
stopped a gentleman, and Williams then walked
up, and moved his hand as if about to take
something from the gentleman, but seeing him
(Gordon) approaching the prisoners and their com-
panions all made off, but the prisoners were subse-
quently caught in the aqui:lll:et after a sharp pur-
suit.

The constables Shroves and Cave having given
similar evidence,

Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the
prisoners.

Gordon said that the woman was charged once at
Guildhall, and both prisoners belonged to a gang
of notorious thieves OR the Surrey side of the
Thames.

The male prisoner, while admitting that he was
known to the police, was very anxious to have the
matter settled at once.

Gordon opposed this, stating that there had been
several complaints lately of robberies effected by
men and women working together.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners.

Sir,—Some months back I had an, attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in my Throat, with other
unpleasant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM or
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying irritation, andgiving strength
to the voice. _ _

You are at liberty to make use of this as you think pro-

I have done.—With many thanks from your obedient ser-
