Congress yesterday by an expose from the Com

The resolution is very explicit, and denies, on
the part and In behalf Of the committee, all
knowledge OF Mr.. Van wyek's report. As the
matter now stands, this document appears to be
unauthentic. Mr.. V. Ia absent, but on his re-

The Atlantic cable brings us intelligence OF the
death, on Sunday last, in London. OF Sir Richard
Maync, Chief OF the Metropolitan Police OF the
great city. The deceased was born in Ireland some
time during the year 1798 his father being OF the
judges in the Court OF Kings Bench, Ireland. Edu-
Gated first at Trinity College Dublin, where he took
degrees, he was subsequently admitted Gd ldudenl
to Trinity College, Cambridge, and in 1921 the degree
OF NJ. A. was conferred upon him. During the fol-
lowing year he was called 10 the bar at Iincoln's
Inn, and although he was q man or more than ordi-
nary legal ability his success In his profession does
not appear to have been very decided. In 1879 he

Metropolitan Police OF London, and In reward for
tue services ne rendered While holding that office
was created c. B. in ls47 ana X. G. Il. or the Civil
Division In 1851. His energy and administ rative
capacity also caused his promotion to the
position OF Chief OF Police, which he held

VIII be generally remembered, riot on u small scale

power ana all the odium of the act rested upon the
deceased The manifestation OF public sentiment on
this OCCASION however appeared to have some effect
upon the autocratic Chief OF Police, subsequent
meeting was held IN the Park and the people were

assurance OF shakespeare that divinity hedges around
royalty. He was, we think, tory OF very decided
opinions, holding to those views OF governments
which give the masses as little power as possible.
That he had outlived his day and was blind TO the
progress or the age was made manifest in tho
course he pursued last year. However, to his praise
It must he sad that the discipline and efficiency or

more TO his administrative faculties than those OF
any Others OF his colleagues
