GREAT BRITAIN.
Tbe Cabinet Going 20 pieces.

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-Gladstone resigns
his seat from Greenwich, and Grosvenor
retires from Westminster, to make way
for Mr.. Gladstone. Childers is paralyzed
in the lower half of his body. The Min
istry is going to pieces.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-Much connection is
caused in political circles by the rumored
difficulties in the Cabinet. Although the
statement that Childers had resigned is
officially contradicted, his retirement is
only question of time, on account OF
his health. A bitter attack will be made
at the meeting of Parliament on the adj
ministration of the army and navy. The
Cabinet, unable to defend the army, has
determined to throw Cardwell overheard,
like Jonah, but believe they are able to
successfully defend the navy by showing
its present high state of efficiency. Il
they succeed in their claim it will be 6
draw battle, and the Cabinet will be saw
ed by the sacrifice of Cardwell. On thu
other hand the Opposition have resolved
on severe attack on the foreign policy
There is a general belief that if the Cabi
net should escape, its strength will bt
| greatly impaired.

The WnrreII Sisters.

The far-famed, sprightly and inimitable
Worrell Sisters, the bewitching Sophie and
the charming Irene, will again favor Nash
vile with visit, commencing at Masonic
Hall on Monday evening next IN one Of
their favorite pieces. Their last entertain
ments In this city were attended with the
most unbounded success, and it is almost
a settled fact that they will be greeted
nightly with packed houses. An Atlanta
paper thus refers to a recent entertainment
in that city:
The popular Burlesque, Cinderella, was
given at this place last night to large au-
dience. The house presented a gay ap-
pearanee, quite a number of ladies were
present in exquisite evening costumes, at
tended by their escorts. It was carnival
of humor, without any Objectionable fea-
ture. Miss Sophie Worrell assumed the
role of Prince Pretty Pet. No wonder she
is so popular. A pretty woman by nature,
pleasing singer, a graceful danseuse, "a
diant, piquant, sans s0lIc5, coquetting with
debonair grace; she sublimates her natu-
raj gifts by every appliance of art in the
specialties of gorgeous costumes, and va
nous ways to bear upon the susceptible
ties of those in front, and weaves around
bucAu Luc UcbuS5 VI cuCuA1GIcb5.
Her conception of Prince Pretty Pet was
good, and she had the ability to carry it
out. As the Prince she was the cynosure
Of every eye In the audience, and the radi-
ant object upon which every sympathy and
emotion conferred. Mrs. Sheldon has made
herself quite a favorite by her beauty,
grace and sprightliness. She played the
part of Dandidi admirably, meeting her
obligations satisfactorily. She is as fault
less in her rendition as she is charming in
person.
Hernandez, the Leon Brothers and
Monte Verde, must be seen in their spe-
cialties to be appreciated. The Japanese
is the best bit of burlesque We have seen
in some time, and was not only received
favorably, but caused many in the audi
ence to display strength of diaphram,
capacity of lungs, and quickness of ap-
prehension, showing that they had re-
ceived full recompense for the price Of
their tickets.
The Sophie Worrell troupe, in point of
ability, appointments and completeness,
is the best that has visited this city this
season. The costumes are rich, correct
and tasteful. The stage arrangements are
skillful, the tsbleaux presented in the per-
formances are effective, while the roper
toire is choice.

An exciting time occurred on Cedar
street yesterday, growing out of conflict
of jurisdiction, the particulars of which
we Will give according to the best informa-
non we have been able to obtain, and
which We believe is correct.
On last Saturday evening three negroes,
named respectively, Il. Bosley, Ed. Horne.
and John 81. MCGOWAN, went on a fox
hunt, and after pursuing reynard, with
what success our informant s1ith not, were
returning to this city about midnight. On
arriving in the vicinity of Ash barracks
they were halted by some of Uncle Sans
soldiers who were on guard What then
transpired We are not able to say. but
there was a very considerable unpleasant
ness between the soldiers and the
negroes, as is proved by subsequent events.
Yesterday the negroes named above an
peared before Squire Sumner, and charged
two soldiers (John Roberts and Henry
Shsnncn) with Committing an assault and
battery upon them (the negroes) at the
Ash Barracks on Saturday night In the
meantime the officers Of the regiment at
the Barracks came before Commissioner
Noah, and preferred charges against the
above mentioned negroes. Commissioner
Goodwin was called to assist in the deci-
sion of the case A conflict ensued be-
tween the colored magistrate and the
United States Commissioners as to who
had priority Of jurisdiction, and quite ex-
citing times are said to have followed.
Ash Barracks, by recent act of the Leg
islature, was conveyed by the State to the
United States Government, and it was held
that the case should properly be tried be-
fore the United States authorities. The
matter was 0nally compromised by allow
ing each authority to go ahead with the
prisoners already before each tribunal.
The soldiers were required by Summer
to give bond IN the sum of S 200 for their
appearance before him this morning, and
in default were committed The negroes
had hearing before Commissioners Noah
and Goodwin, and were required to give
bail for their appearance this morning at 10
o'clock. Afterwards, the negroes were taken
before Esquire Cassetty, and what action
that magistrate took in the premises we
are not informed, as the proceedings were
continued till a late hour. Between SO
many dispensers of justice the prisoners
will doubtless be of the opinion that they
are to have hard time in breaking through
the small and large meshes of the Law.
We also learn that the soldiers will not
have the case tried before Sumner, negro
justice, upon the averment that they can
not get justice before that court In this
state of affairs, the case may possibly as
sumo new phase.

Bankrupt Tax Delinquents.
+ The Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
in a letter to the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways and Means, states that
since the passage of various laws author
izing the Commissioner to abate taxes,
about $40, 600, 900 have been absted in
consequence of insolvency or absconding
parties assessed, but a small per centage
of these taxes have been collected after
the abatement. He believes the collect
ors of internal revenue being allowed q
special per centage to examine and collect
taxes SLATED large per centage. Some
would now be collected in consequence of
the parties against whom the taxes were
assessed having since become solvent.
He recommends the passage of an act
authorizing the allowanceof commissions,
not to exceed twenty-five per cent, for
this purpose. . 6ia5s

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The Irish exiles
visited the Grand Opera House last night,
at special invitation, to hear some music.
They went, but discovering early in the
evening that the invitation was merely a
stroke of policy to win them over to one
side as against the other, they withdrew.
A banquet had been prepared with covers
for about thirty. 1t was the intention to
have the exiles partake of the banquet,
but this was firmly declined by O'Dono-
van Rosa and the rest.

and took therefrom nine colored prison
ers, five of whom had recently been con-
victed of Offenses and serving their terms
of punishment; the other four awaiting
trial. The victims were taken a short

fans cut off one ear; from the eighth
both, and the ninth was brought back

wounds, most of which are fatal. The
others were turned loose. So far as
