The meeting Of The conservative members
Of Parliament at the residence Of the Marquis
Of Salisbury, for the purpose of devising
plan Of proceeding against the Government,
WAS held On the 29th June. It was Intended
the only member OF the House of Lords pres
ent being the Earl Of Derby. The following
resolution, to be laid before the House OF
Commons, was submitted to the meeting BY
Lord Derby. 1t Is in the form Of an address
to the Crown, mud proposes:
"To thank her Majesty for having diroctet The cor
responoence on Denmark and Germany. and the
protocol Of the Conference recently held ia London
to be Ibid before Parliament to aesure her Maiestv
that the House has heard with great concern that
close W1thcnt accomplishing the important pur.

70 her Majesty the great regret Of the House that
ment has failed TO maintain their ayowed policy
of upho!d!ne The integrity and independence of
Denmark, Il has lowered he lust influence Of this
mtnlshed the eecu1ttes Of peace-n
Lord Derby said that Government had ap.
peared desirous to leave 1t to the House Of
Commons to express an opinion, and they
had endeavored to impose the duty of elicit
ing that opinion upon the opposition; but
he was Happy to say that his right honorable
friend, Mr. Disrael had not fal1en into that
trap.
Mr. Kerr addressed the meeting N faror Of
armed luteryentis. IN behalf of Denmark,
LIST tn,s Was received with marks of disap.
probation.
Lord Derby said he must differ from Mr..
Kerr, because If snch an expression as he had
advocated were embodied in the resolution.
the opposition, In the event Of their coming
into power, would be bound to carry on war
like operations In favor Of Denmark. and to
this they were not prepared to bind them
selves. He did not mean It to be understood,
that England ought to interfere by force OF
a1ms. This statement was received with e1-
pressious Of appreciation, and appeared to be
acquiesced In BY the meeting generally.
In the House OF Commons the same even
1ng, M. DissaeH formally gave notice that
on Monday, the 4th Of July. Mr.. Ringlake
gave notice Of an amendment, but without
stating what that amendmen. would be.
The Mo1nsng Herald says the resolution Is
practically = vote of censure, and il carried
would have the effect of e1peiltng Ministers
The Mt.ning R,st, which Is becoming Anti

point The charge brought sgaipst Ministers

THE RlALEXPOSE,
The Parties Confess their Guilt.

avn %0S WAS AAaA1141Fl$ 0ulf ILL.,
In our issue OF yesterday we briefly stated
the particulars Of q diegraceful exposure of
the criminality of the pastor Of one of our
churches with young woman. The name
OF the party who thus brings disgrace upon
himself and SO foully imposes upon the
ssnctity OF his chilling, is Rev. Albert G.
Janssen, pastor Of St. Panl's (Gefman Lu-
theTnn) Church, situated at the corner of 4th
and Sanford streets.
Though the parties we're caught by the Of
fcer In t1dgrante lelictu, upon their arrival at
the station house on Tuesday evening, they
both emphatica1]y denied their guilt, pro-
nouncing the statements OF the policeman as
utterly devoid Of truth. On their appear
ance for trial. however, ut IN early hour on
"Wednesday morning, their opinions seem to
have undergone change, as II reply to the
usual question, both Of them promptly
plead guilty to the charge OF " indulging in
1ewd aud indecent practices,' and we're fined
go and costs each, the Whole bill amounting
to about $50.
The reverend principal In the affair ap-
pears to be a man for whom not the slight
est spark Of sympathy can be entertafned-
his conduct all throughout this matter being
that Of q villain, entirely devoid Of priocipIe'
immediately after his arrest he sent Tor
friend, who at his solicitation deposited the
sum OF $50 as security for his appearance In
the morning. That evening, too, he denied
his gull, and after contessing it in the morn
irg, claimed the amount Of money which had
been deposited by bis friend as his own, md
allowed the officers to deduct from that sum
the amount Of the fines and costs. As
matter Of course, the gentleman depositing
the money afterwards made application to
the officers for its return, and the uuprin-
cipled course Of the divine being thus made
an officer WIGS dispatched in quest
OF him and be Was again brought back. He
still claimed the money in the hands OF the
officers, and 1t was not until orders were
given to lock him up that he conseted to pay
Inc fines from his own pocket. We arc in
formed, too, upon credible authority, TINT
this Is not the first affair Of this kind in
which he has been engaged, and that his de-
parture from Germany for this country was
caused by similar exposure. What adds
more particularly to the infamy Of his pres
ent CRIME arc the facts that his wife has been
dead but few short months, while only on
Sunday last, two days previous to this affair,
cid he follow child to the grave. He also
has another child, With IN aged mother. and
