GERS OF THE GARNET.
HALIFAX, May 1S.-Much excite
ment prevails in naval circles here
over court martial now in progress
against the lieutenant of her majesty' s
shir Garnet, who was in charge OF the
watch when Paul Boyton's boat was
caught alongside the Garnet in New
York habor, for letting the occupants
go free, instead of holding them pris
oners until he had communicated with
his superiors. Admiral Sir John
Commerell was much exasperated by
Capt Boyton's exploit in affixing the
torpedo to the Garnet. On the day
the ship arrl ed IN Halifax the lieu
tenant on watch was placed under ar
rest.
Sir John then ordered the @rganiza-
ton Oh a court of inquiry to inveati>
gate Capt Hands management of the
Garnet from the time she left New
York until her arrival in Halifax,
with special instructions to ascertain
all the facts of Boyton's midnight tor
pedo expedition. The court has been
sitting for two days. The result will
be Submitted to naval headquarters in
London, with the probability that
Capt Hand and the officers on watch
that night will be court martialed for
endangering the safety of the vessel
By neglecting to take necessary pre-
csutions against torpedoes, etc, from
Fenian dynamiters or other hostile
sources.
The statement is made that eff the
sentinel on the deck of the Garaet
had not been the stupidcst man ON the
boat, Boyton would have been shot
as soon as discovered"

Crime in England and Wales.

According to Sir John Lubbock,
''the number of cases of imprison-
ment for indictab.e offences in Eng
land and Wales op ana average of five
years ending in 1859 was IL, 500; in
1860, 1900; in 1879, 10000, and iii
1881, 9,30e. The sentences of penal
servitude for the same periods were
respectfully 1900, 1000, 1000 and
1900. This is the more satisfactory
when we bear in mind that, while OF
the one hand the offences are decreas-
ing, the population on the other hand
is increasing. In 1859 it was 10 600,
600; in 1860, $4,000, 600; in 1879, a.
10000; in 1881, $4,000, 1000 II we
turn to juvenile offences, the result is
even more striking and satisfactory.
The number of juveniles committed
for indictable offences in 1856 was IA,
900; in 1866. 3, 400; in 1876, 7,100; in
1881, $500. | can not doubt that these
results are greatly due to the improve
ment in education and to the children
beng kept out of the streets"

CROP PROSPECTS.

TOPEKA, Ks, May IS Reports re-
ceived here from 35 counties in west
ern Iowa, 4G in eastern Nebraska, 56
in western Missouri, and sixty eight
in Kansas, which is solid territory
of 400 miles north and south, and 800
east and west, and which embraces a
large portion of the wheat belt of the
west, and comprising 205 counties in
all, show that the wheat prospects in
the counties of Iowa and Missouri are
sc per cent less than the crop of last
year, in Nebraska, 60 per cent, and in
Kansas 5S per cent less The delay in
planting corn is 12 days in Iowa and
Nebraska, and 81 days in Kansas and
Missouri.
About one>third of the corn of Kan
sss hrs been planted, and half of il
will have to be replanted. A notice
able fact is that corn is selling in this
city for from 40 to 43 cents, while at
several points in this state it sells for
upwards of so cents. The farmers of
this state look for an Indifferent corn
crop, and as consequence are hold
ing their old corn. 1t is safe to say
that no more old corn will be sent
from this state this year.
