- A'I'j.PTE D nUSL IN NEWCASTLE.…
A'I'j.PTE D nUSL IN NEWCASTLE. A singular but happily innocent, and withal some- what In Serous, incident has just occurred on the Town Moor of Newcastle. The actors in the affair are some foreigners, all of whom with the oxecntinn of a Swede, hail from Denmark. It appears that for three or four weeks past they have been em- ployed in this town in connection with the sub- marine telegraph from Nrwbiggen-by-the-Sea tc Jutland and while engaged in manipulating elec- trify of a prosaic and useful character, two of them have had their peace of mind destroyed by the electricity emitted from Cup d's shaft. But, stvarcrc to say, not only had the God of Leve succeeded in asserting his supremacy over these two young men, but had made them both slaves of one cruel fair, ■who loved both well enough to cause her much per- plexity as to which she should adopt and which re- ject. As she could not decide, and as both were equally persistent in their claim" to her hand and heart, nothing was left for it but to meet face to face on the field of battle. With this end in view, the two gallants, accompanied by their friends, making together a company of nine, bent their steps to the Town Moor, about half-past eight or. Sunday morning, and when close by the reservoir, op- g>site Brandling-place, and a short distance from the. ull Park, came to a stand-still. Their movements were closely watched by a band of defectives, com- posed of Inspector Joseph Dixon, George Anderson, John Little, and Robert Bell, who had been on the i look-out for the party for about two hours and a half. Having consulted together for a short period, I the bellicose lovers divested themselves of th iv coats (one of them being dressed in imitation of Garibaldi), and while they did so their friends pac"d the groundsfand chcse positions for them. Th^re were, however, a number of hrrsmen and pede*- trians astir in search of exercise and appetites and as it was considered that their presence would at- tract the attention of some of these, a move was made to a more retired spot, a little beyond the Newcastle turn of the racecourse. Again a consul- tation was held, and again the champions prepared for hostilities, while the fifteen paces were measured off and positions selected for them. Just as ali these preliminaries for the encounter had been arranged, the detective officers appeared in sight, and the whole party crouched on the turf, in hope, no doubt, of escaping observation. The officers, however, lest no time in making them aware that they had observed them, for, walking up to the now recumbent warriors, they demanded to know their business in very unceremonious terms. Not knowing the calling of their interrogators, the young gents were at first disposed to resent such an interference but on being told by Inspector Dixon that he and his colleagues were detectives, and had come to prevent a breach of the peace, and that if they persisted in their attempt to break the peace they would have to take charge of them, the whole of them became, civil and communicative. They were then searched. and on two out of the nine loaded and capped pis- tols of a common description were found. They were then asked for their names, which they read- ily gave, some by means of cards, and others writ- ing them down on pieces of paper. Having been baffled in their attempt to slaughter each other, the would-be warriors went home with their friends to breakfast, the detectives going -down from tho Moor with them as far as Sandyford-lane, where, it is believed, the whole of them are lodging. The charges, it is believed, have not yet been drawn from the weapons taken from the rivals, but one cf the seconds assured the detectives that there were nofhing but waxen bullets in the pistols, and just sufficient powder to melt the wax, although it was energetically asserted on behalf of the woe-worn lovers £ hat they were in ignorance of the fact, and went to the Moor with the resolute intention o? fighting it out. Whether a reconciliation has taken place between these swains is not yet known, but as the whole party are to leave England in a, short time for India, to fill situations in their profession in that country, and will doubtless leave their Mr innamorata behind, it is to be hoped their differen- ces will be adjusted, and that the mischief-making lady, when out of sight, will be out of mind.—New- castle Chronicle.
EARL RUSSELL ON EDUCATION.
EARL RUSSELL ON EDUCATION. On Monday afternoon, the annual meeting of the British and Foreign School Society was held at the Training School, Borough Road, London; Earl Russell presiding. The adoption of the report, and resolutions re- affirming the principles of the society, recognising tli e efforts made to extend them in Wales, and thank- ing the Queen for her patronage and support were spoken to by the Rev. Thomas Binnev, Mr. Pease, M.P., Mr. C. Buxton, M.P., Lord Lyveden, Mr. E. B inies, M.P., the Rov. Donald Fraser, Mr. Sartori-, M.P., Mr. Vernon Harcourt, M.P., and Dr. Hugh Allen. Lord Lyveden expressed the opinion that the Education Bill would easily pass the Lords when it reached that House. Mr. Harcourt denied that it was any part of the plan of the League to exclude religious instruction of an unsectarian character from public schools. Earl Russell, in the course of a long speech, said it was necessary now to refer to the first principles of the societ-, which were, that religion should he introduced into teaching, that the Bible should be the foundation of the religious teaching, and that no use should e made of catechisms and formu- laries. He believed education to be incomplete without religion, and to show the imperfection of the Church Catechism he quoted the terms in which it conveved the lesson of forgiveness, so often in- culea'ed in the Scripture3, from the story of Joseph to the Lord's Praver, insisting that the terms I pra unto God that He would send all things need- ful both for our souls and bodies, and that He woull he merciful to us a-d forgive us our sins," were net so simple and intelligible as the sentences of the Lord's Prayer. This illustrated the reason why he wished to separate B blical lessons from all cate- chisms, tinged as they were with the passions of the times in which they were written. Whatever might be done, he trusted the society would in no way depart from these principles. He referred to f school established at Faversham by clergymen and Dissenters, the rule of which was that the Catechism chould be taught, but not to children whoseparents obiected. It was a good rule, but in practice the i renting parents did not object. Their hardship, however, was still considerable; because the ques- tion for them was whether their children should re- ceive this instruction or be sent away from the school. In providing a system of national educa- tion, the first thing to be done was to divide the country into convenient districts; the second was to take care that no rate or tax should be imposed upon the people to which they or their representa- tives had not given their consent; and the third was that the education should be religious but un- pectarian; and he should test the bill by these three considerations. It might be, as Lord Lyve- den had said, that any bill sent up from the Com- mons would readily pass the Lords but it was open to a peer to protest, and if the bill gave permanence and perpetuity to sectarian education, he should protest against it. He trusted no such calamity would happen, and he felt confident it would not. If we continued denominational education in England, we must comply with the demand of the Roman Catholic bishopsforthe continuance of denominational educa- tion in Ireland and that would involve the exclusion of 24,000 Protestant, children from the chools of I-land, which it would be a sad thing for the House of Commons to assent to, for these children must be driven either out of the schools or into the Roman Catholic Church. The Church of England was not now the same Church it had been in past times. There were those who were trying to assimilate tho practices and ceremonies of the Church of England, to the Church of Rome and if we were to establish the denominational teaching of the Church of Eng- land, we could not be quite sure what the character of it would be in 20 or 30 years. In the novel called "Foul Play," a sound ship coming from Australia was scuttled by men drilling holes through the bottom, and he could not help thinking sometimes that there was a gimlet at work in the hold of the Church of England. He trusted that the attempt to scuttle the ship would be defeated; but it be- hoved all to be watchful, and to take care that this Protestant country maintained its Protestant Bible, its Protestant teaching, and its Protestant schools.

The Secretary of the Dublin Amnesty Associa- tion has written to the Home Secretary asking that a representative friend of the Fenian convicts should be permitted to offer evidence and put question at the forthcoming inquiry. SUPPOSED INFANTICIDE NEAR CROMFOBD.—A. 0. Brooks, Esq., held an inquest at the Greyhound 1m., Cromford, on Monday night, on the body of a fe- male child found in the river Derwent. It was sup- posed to have been dead over six weeks. It was wrapped in a quantity of cloth and paper, and a one was attached to it. Two men found the ijod? when following rats. The medical evidence shov ed that it had breathed and had been suffocated- ..1c open verchct was returned. M.

The smallpox rages with suoh intensity at Munich that the King has been obliged to abandon the an- nual celebration of the fete of the order of St. George. All the royal pages have been attacked by the malady, and the knights aspirant were in the eame plight. Mr. Charles Boner has died at Munich, in his 55th year. Mr. Boner was the author of several books; among them, "Chamois Hunting in the Mountains of Bavaria," and a well-known work on Transylvania. Several of his writings were tran- slated into German.

FEARFUL COLLISION AT SEA|
FEARFUL COLLISION AT SEA On Friday night the screw steam collier Earl ot Elgin, of Sunderland, which left that port on the same evening, was in collision off Staithes with the Tyne screw steamer Jesmond, in which the former sank and eight lives were lost. The Earl of Elgin was one of the line of Lambton colliers, about eight years old, having on board Captain Hammond in command, a ciew of sixteen seamen, engineers, and stokers, the wife of the chief mate, the daughter of the captain, and a chief mate bound for Bordeaux. All went well until eleven o'clock at night, when off Staithes, on the Yorkshire coast, the night clear, the lights of a steamer were seen about half-a-mile off. The first light seen was a green one, indicating all was clear, and the strange vessel (which after- wards turned out.to be the Jesmond, in ballast), was three points on the bow of the Earl of Elgin. In a few minutes the green light disappeared and the red light was seen, and it was then found that the Jesmond was crossing the bows of the Earl of Elgin. The helm of thelatter wasinstantly starboarded, but the vessels were close on each other. The Jesmond's whistle was blown, but before the position of the vessels could be altered, the Jesmond struck the Earl o: Elgin a fearful blow abaft the main rigging, cutting through her right to the main hatchway, and backing astern drew out again, but a second time came in contact with the Earl of Elgin, and this time struck her near the bridge, and smashing the steamer's starboard lifeboat. It was the male's watch at the time, and the captain was below, but he was alarmed by the noise, and rushed on deck, where he arrived a" the moment of the first colli- sion. A scene of indescribable confusion followed. Part of the crew of the Earl of Elgin clung to the forechains and rigging of the Jesmond, and reached that vessel's deck in safety; others attempted to launch one of the lifeboats, but the tackle fouling, sue swamped on reaching the water, and one of the crew in her was drowned. The port side boat was got into the water and a portion of the crew reached her. All this was the work of a few minutes, and the men had not time for consideration, as the ves- sel was rapidly filling with water and settling down. The captain and his child remained upon the bridge of the ill-fated ship, the Jesmond lay only a couple of cable-lengths off, and her crew, as speedily as possible, assisted by the men who had gained her decks, launched two of the aft boats and got into them. Before she had time to reach the Earl of Elgin, she gave a plunge and went down. As she disappeared her decks blew up, and the captain and his child were hurled away from the ship, the mate and crew who had not reached the boat were hurled into the water. The boat was „ capsized and the men and crew were all floating about. The boat from the Jesmond succeeded in rescuing a few of these. The captain was not re- covered until he had been in the water nearly half. an-hour. He was completely exhausted, and nearly clead. The child, it is supposed, was killed when the vessel's decks blew up. Of the crew twelve were saved, with the captain, second mate, second en- gineer, carpenter, cook, and steward, five seamen, and three firemen. Of those lost were the mate and his wife, the captain's daughter, the female pas- senger, the engineer, and three of the crew. The survivors were taken to the Tyne, where they were landed, and proceeded to Sunderland on Saturday morning. The captain is much injured. A tele- gram was received in Sunderland the same morn- ing announcing that three bodies, one of them that of a female, were picked up off Staithes by some fishermen and taken in there. The following is an account given by one of the survivors:—We left the harbour a few minutes to eight o'clock last night. All went well until near to Whitby, about eight miles off the land, when a steamer's masthearllight was seen on the starboard bow, and a short time arter the Earl of Elgin was run into by a steamer which afterwards turned out to be the Jesmond, of Shields. She struck the Earl of Elgin on the star- board side, right amidships, going nearly half way through the vessel, when immediately the sea came in, and in a very minutes the vessel sunk. The alarm having been given that the vessel was sink- ing, confusion reigned for some time, andin attempt- ing to get out the jolly-boat it was capsized, by which one nooi* fellow was drowned. The captain had a child with him, a girl of seven years of age. The mate had his wife on board, and there was also a female passenger, the wife of another captain. It was then discovered that the starboard lifeboat had been stove ir. during the collision.and there was only one boat left for the whole of the crew. To this the master (who was the last to leave the vessel) made with his daughter in his arms, accompanied by a female passenger, but what became of them until the master was picked up in the water, very much exhausted, is not known, although it isolated that the (aptain had the child in his arms until he sunk down exhausted. There was a general rush to the boat, some ran up the mast and some jumped int; the water, making for the side of the Jesmond. by which three or four of them were saved. The remainder were picked up by the Jesmond boat's crew, with the exception of five men, the two women and the child, who went down with the sink- ing vessel. When taken onboard the Jesmond they were treated with the greatest kindness, and landed at Shields about six o'clock in the morning.

EXPLOSION f'X BOARD A STEAMER.—Tae jjonr.on screw steamer J. M. Strachan, from Newcastle for London, with gas coal, put into Great Yarmouth, on Monday, and landed a seaman named Wm. Fair- brother, who has been terribly injured. Gas g ne- rated from the coal in the hold appears to have exploded, and Fairbrother was much burned. One of his legs was also broken. He was conveyed to the Great Yarmouth Hospital, where he lies in a precarious state. Two oth -r men were also injur"I. The steamer was not much damaged, and proceeded on her voyage. WIFE MURDER IN LIVERPOOL —At the Liverpool Police Court, on Monday, Robert Chester, a miser- able-looking niiddle-agecl man was brought up charged with having caused the death of his wife on the previous day. It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased lived in Malt-street, Windsor, and that on Sunday afternoon they had been out drink- ing, and when they went home the prisoner had in his possession a shilling, which his wife attempted o get from him. For that purpose she put her arms aroand him, a scuffle ensued and the two fell down a long flight of stairs. At the bottom the prisoner commenced kicking his wife, and then left the house. The unfortunate woman died shortly after- wards. The prisoner was remanded pending the coroner's inquest. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. — At about two o'clock on Sunday morning a tire broke out in the storehouses belonging to Mr. Hinchliffe, wholesale hay and straw merchant, King's Bench-walk. Wellington street, Borough. The flames originated in the stables, where there were a number of valuable ho:'ses, and these were only rescued with difficulty, some of them being seriously scorched. The five obtained a rapid hold of the storehouses, and from the nature of their contents it at once became evi- L'ent that no portion of the building could be pre- served. The firemen, therefore, "turned their at- tent on mainly to preventing the flames from spreading to the adjacent house-, and in this they were successful. About an hour after the com- mencement of the fire the whole of the building fell in, the front wall and between 40 and 50 tons of burning hay falling outside into the street. S veral of the firemen who were playing on the front of the building at the time had narrow es- capes from being crushed by the falling mass. COMMITTAL FOR ABDUCTION.—Two men, named Patrick Byan and Kendal O'Brien, have been com- mitted for trial for the abduction of Catherine Hum- phric-s, the step-daughter of a farmer at Longstone, i'.ev.r Ballycohv.—Mrs. Ryan, mother of the girl, deposed to having seen nearly sixteen persons about the place, and when she ventured to give the alarm to her husband three or four of the fellows rushed over, caught hold of him, and afterwards assaulted herself. The abduction was carried out before her face, and when the party left she found a number of stones which they had left behind them. Ac- cording to the evidence given by Miss Humphries,, two roys" whom she did not know, entered her mora and demanded that she should get up. She di-t o, and'dressed herself hurriedly. They drove her to Doyle's Hotel, in Tipperary, where they stopped until the afternoon of the same day, when the police arrested Eyan and O'Brien and conducted tho girl home. A servant girl who tried to rescue Mhs Humphries as she was being taken away from the house swore that she was asked by a man who stoo l guard over her whether she would like to see her brains." 'AN ESCAPED LUNATIC.—At the Brentford Petty Sessions, on Saturday, John Henry Jenkins, a well- dressed man, aged about 45, was brought up on re- mand, charged with being found sleeping in an un- finished house in Cambridge Park, Twickenham, and also with being a lunatic at large. The priso- ner was now identified by Stephen Bentliff, an at- tendant at a private lunatic asylum, kept by Dr. Lowry, at West Mailing, who said he had escaped from aat establishment last Friday. The prisoner, in a.ijwei to the chairman, said he would go back <i'i.eiiy, out denied that he was a lunatic. Some years ag'> he was under a delusion fancying himself to be jiiLas, or John the Baptist, but three years ago the Commissioners of Lunacy said that he ought to be discnarged. He escaped from the asylum by getting over a wall, and when apprehended was on his way to hlS fnends III Wales. The prisoner fur- ther stated that he had been educated in Jesus College, Cambridge, and that his father, the late Rev. George Jenkins, had been chairman of a bench of magistrates in Cumberland for twenty-five years. The first witness, on being recalled, said that the Commissioners saw the prisoner about four months ago. The asylum was visited by the county ma. gyrates every three months. Thos. Arthur Lowry, M.D., was then called, and he produced the autho- rity under which the prisoner was detained, which was signed by the latter's mother, a lady living in Carmarthen. The prisoner had not been discharged, and was not in a fit state to be so. Sometimes he wan more rational than at others. The Chairman, addressing the prisoner, said that, Dr. Lowry hav- ing produced his authority, they were bound to give him up. The prisoner left in oharga of Dr. Lowry and his attendant.
=--THE MEN L'i FEMALE ATTIRE.
=- THE MEN L'i FEMALE ATTIRE. The men Boulton and Park, who were remanded at the Bow-street Police Court, on Friday, seem in in their time to have acted many parts." This as- sertion may be taken, not only in its general sense, but also in its literal significance, as will be readily understood from the-particulars which are subjoined. During the months of May and June, 1869, the pri- soner Ernest Boulton, in company with a gentle- man named Pavitt, gave a series of drawing-room entertainments in Colchester, Southend, Dunmow, BishnpStortford, Rochford, and various other places, amongst them Romford, where they played under the distinguished patronage of Sir Thomas Barrett Lennard, Bart., and Ladv Lennaxd, Rev. W. J. Skil- ton, Octavius E. Coone, Esq., E. J. Ind, Esq., and E. Vipan Ind, Esq. The entertainment most usually comprised a short opera, a humourous duologue, and a laughable sketch. In all these the ladies' charac- ters wer1 represented by Ernest Boulton. At the Theatre Royal, Stock. Jan. 27,1869, Her Majesty's Servants" played (by special request) Mr. H. J. B ron's comedy of "One Hundred Thousand Pounds, the characters Alice and Mrs. Barlow being played respectively by Boulton and Park, who are designa- ted in the pi'ogramme, Miss Ernestine El wards and Miss Mabel Foster. An original farce followed, the ladies' characters being, as before, represented by Bonlton and Park. The Essex Herald, Feb. 2, in noticing this per- form mce, observed "During the piece Miss Ed- wards san"- Fading away' with a care and taste that brought down the house, and, on being en- cored, she"'irave My Pretty Jane.' This shows an instance where Boulton's sex was not detected. Speaking of the drawing-room entertainment at PishopStortford, the press says: "We may add that Mr. Boulton very cleverly personates female characters, and that it is difficult for a spectator to realise the fact that he is a 'make-up' for the occa- sion. His song, 'Fading away,' is exceedingly feminine. The following is a ludicrous and somewhat appro- priate extract from one of the newspapers A LtFUS Natime.—Certainly if some one of nature's journeymen had not been at work, 'Mister' Boulton —we hesitate, almost, to write this prefix—would hn.ve incontestably been a woman. Let it by no means be understood that there is anything of the social monster' business connected with him. Quite on the contrary, for looking at him with one's eyes both wide open, listening to his extraordinary voice, and criticising, however narrowly, his won- derful feminine appearance and manner, it is really difficuL for a moment to believe that he is not a really charming girl." At a performance in Essex a local paper says, Th1 Alice of Mr. Boulton took the audience by gnrprise; in 'make-up,' action, gesture, and con- ception it was a finished picture. He drew down thundering plaudits by his talented acting, and especially by his singing, in an imitation mezzo-soprano voice, < Fading away,' which was three times re-demanded." In October, 1868, Ernest Boulton assisted Lord Arthur Pelham Clinton, M.P., in a drawing-room entertainment at the Spa Saloon, Scarborough. On this occasion A Morning Call" was performed; his lordship playing Sir Edward Ardent, and Boul- ton Mrs. Chillington. The Scarborough Gazette de- scribes the latter's appearance ars "something wonderful." This entertainment was postponed for a short time on account of Boulton's indisposition, and a copy of the telegram sent to Lord Arthur Clinton, containing this information, was printed and circulated in Scarborough. The prisoner Park does not appear to have taken such a prominent part in enterprises of this kind only one notice of his performance in a ladies' role has been found— namely, that of Mrs. Barlow, to which reference Ln been made. Boulton's assumption of ladies' characters has extended over many years, for iu one programme he is announced to play Maria, in The Brigand —he being only 14 years of age. —

.11'. Frank Hill, who has long been connected with the Dai'j News, and contributed many of its very best articles, now succeeds Mr. Dicey as the editor, The Xational Rifle Association have published in the Volunteer Service Gazette the general rules and j regulations for the forthcoming prize meeting at "Wimbledon. There is no material alteration from those in force last year, but extra precautions will be taken to prevent the irregular firing of rifles, and there is a slight alteration in the system of de- ciding ties. MARRLUiE IN HIGH LIFE.—Mr. W. Lindsay, scn. of the Hon. Colin Lindsay, and nephew of the Earl of Crawford and Belcarres, was on Saturday mar- ried to Lady Harriet Gordon, daughter of the Into Earl of Aberdeen, at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, Amongst those in the church were—The Duke and Duchess of Abercorn, the Marquess and Marchioness of Hamilton, the Marquess of Lome, the Countess Fitzwilliam, Sir Courts and Lady Lindsay, Mrs. and the Misses Gladstone. STATUE OF MR. GLADSTONE AT LIVERPOOL.—A statue of Mr. Gladstone has just been placed in St. George's Hall, Liverpool, at the east side and in immediate proximity to that of the law Earl ot Derby. The work is by Mr. Adams-Acton, and is to cost i 1,000. The project was set on foot sis | yenrs ago, and many of the right hon. gentleman's political opponents have aided in its accomplish- ment. There was a preliminary and private unveil- ing of the statue on Saturday. The right hon. gentleman is sculptured in a standing attitude, at- tired in the full robes of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. His right hand is crossed upon his breast, and his left holds a scroll, and the features of the original are faithfully reproduced. The statue is Off. Gin. from the stand, and is worked in Carrara marble. A CLERGYMAN'S WIFE ACCIDENTALLY POISONED. —On Saturday evening Mr. W-eedon, coroner for Berkshire, held an inquest, in the parish of Wood- Elwen, on the body cf Mrs. Frances Everett, fifty- seven years of age, wife of the rector of Shaw. The depositions taken stated that deceased was of cheer- ful, lively habits,, but had lately suffered greatly from tooth ache, and about two o'clock on Friday she took a mixture of chloroform and laudanum in mistake for sal volatile, the bottles being close together in her bed room. She rushed to the ser- vants' room and told them she had taken laudanum bv mistake, Soon afterwards she became insensible and although Dr. Palmer and Mr. Bunny used every means to restore her, she died on "Friday about mid- day. The jury returned a verdict to the effect That the deceased accidently poisoned herself bj taking the mixture instead of sal volatile." TERRIBLE PARAFFIN EXPLOSION.—A fearful ca-, tastrophe occurred at Donquin, near Dingle, coast of Kerry, on the night of the 5th. Three fishermen having found a cask of petroleum at sea that day, assembled, at night with the members of their fami- lies, in the house of Crohane, a farmer, to divide the spoil secretly, fearing the coast guard would seize it. There were twelve persons present. Du- ring the division a dispute arose, one of the salvors alleging that the oil at the bottom of the cask was damaged by sea water, a.nd as a test he applied a piece of burning timber, causing an immediate ex- plosion, which reduced the house to a mass of blaz- ing ruins. The two daughters of Crohane, owner of the house, Ellen Long, a married woman, and Michael Darby, widower, were buried in the debris and burned to cinders. Long's husband escaped but rushed back to the rescue of his wife, and in dragging her out his clothes caught fire, and he sustained such injuries that his recovery is hope- less. Crohane, his wife, and Patrick and Catherine Lyne are dreadfully burned. Three others escaped with lesser injuries, being near the door when the explosion occurred. The remains of the dead, con- sisting of a few charred bones, were extracted from the ruins on Sunday, and interred. Graun's "Passion" was performed at the Berlin Academy of Music on Good Friday. The King and Court attended. The Logical Method of Political Economy" is the title of a volume on which Mr. J. E. Cairnes is at present engaged. Prof. Seeley's lectures on Roman History to the large class of ladies (over 200), at the Kensington Museum, are to be published. The King of the Belgians granted on Saturday a solemn and official audience to the principal mem- bers of the Chinese Embassy. The number of ladies at present studying at Zurich is fourteen, twelve of whom attend medical and two philosophical lectures. The opera by Madame Perriere Pilte, which was lately represented at her house, is going to be brought out at the Athenee next winter. The report of the Shanghai Chamberof Commerce on the trade of the Upper Yangtsne river, was is- sued on Monday night from the Foreign Office. Mr. Maclise was buried on Saturday week at Kensal Green Cemetery, where so many artists and poets are interred, near his old friend Mulreadv. The Prebendal Stall of Bishopstone in Salisbury Cathedral, held by Dr. Fraser, Bishop of Manches- ter, has been conferred by the Bishop of Salisbury on the Rev. M. Wilkinson, D.D., vicar of West Lav- ington, in the county of Wilts. The English operatic performances, uneler the direction of Mr. Charles James Bishenden, an- nounced to commence this month at St. George's Hall, Regent-street, are postponed.. owing to the severe illness of the principal singer. In Belgium (as elsewhere) art and commerce will not go hand in hand, the Communal Council of Ant- werp having refused, by a majority of 17 to 9, a subsidy of 12,000 francs towards the musical festival to be held in August.-Musical Standard. M. Auguste Charles, flautist to the Emperor of all the Russias," is meeting success in Paris as executant and composer. At his recent concert he was assisted by a young Swedish singer much in vogue just now-Mdlle. Schonmeyer to wit. The volume of the archaeological survey of India, containing the report, with plans and photographs, prepared by Lieutenant H. Hardy Cole, R.E., by order of the Indian Government, is now in the binder*! hand*, and will altffft.1v h* T>nbli^#> WAS MR. D'ARCY IRVINE FIRED AT ?—Tne_Earl j of Enniskillen writes to a Dublin paper enclosing a correspondence with Captain Butler, Chief Constable of Fermanagh, tending to throw doubt on the story of Mr. D'Arcy Irvine having been fired at on Snn- day week. Captain Butler expresses his regret t a Mr. Irvine seems to adopt the position of havmg been fired at, and shocks the peaceable inhabitants of Fermanagh and Enniskillen by driving about with revolvers displayed, and a rifle barrel appear- ing at both sides of his carriage." THE BRIGHTON PI:YI:;W.—The report of Lieu- tenant General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett upon the late volunteer review at Brighton has been issued from the War Office. It is favourable, the gallant General remarking that great credit was due to all concerned. Accompanying the report is a letter from the Commander in Chief, in which ne says:—" I should express my satisfaction at tie manner in which the arrangements were carried out by the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett, and by the Acting Inspector General of the reserve forces, as well as at the regularity with which the volunteers appear to have assembled and gone through their duties, and at the general success of the day's operations." MELANCHOLY END OF THE MANAGER OF A LUII- TED LIABILITY COMPANY.—On Monday the L'ver- pool Coroner held an inquest on the body of Robert Charles Cutting, who was until recently commander of the Royal Mail steamer Idaho, one of the Guion Line. He quitted that service for the purpose of becoming managing director of a metal trading Company, a business of which he appears to have not had the slightest knowledge. In this company he had invested the whole of his savings, and he had also induced a large number of his personal friends to become shareholders. The affairs of the company appear not to have gone on satisfactorily and this preyed greatly upon his mind. On Friday evening last he shot himself in his office, Alexan- dra buildings, James street.—The jury returned a verdict to the effect that he destroyed himself whilst labouring under temporary mental derange- ment. THE HEALTH OF PRINCE LEOPOLD.—By special order of the authorities, the public were not ad- mitted to the terminus at Windsor on Saturday, on the occasion of the arrival of Her Majesty from Osbrrne, it being desired that it should be accom- plished with as much privacy as possible, in order that His Royal Highness Prince Leopold might not suffer from the excitement of the crowd. His Royal Highness, who had sufficiently recovered from his re rent indisposition to be able to endure the fatigue of the journey, had travelled from Gosport in a private saloon carriage, within which an invalid couch had been placed for his use. The greatest care was taken by the officials to prevent the Prince incurring unnecessary fatigue or excitement, and His Royal Highness, upon the arrival of the train, was lifted from his seat in the saloon and carried in the arms of one of the Highland H gillies" to the! Royal carriage in the station yard. The Queen and Royal family then drove to the Castle, and the public were allowed to enter the terminus. TRAMWAYS AND OMNIBUSES AT LIVERPOOL.— The case of the Liverpool Tramway Company v. j the Liverpool Road and Omnibus Company was brought to a close on Monday before Vice-Chan- cellor Malins. The plaintiffs had obtained an act of parliament in 1868, giving them the exclusive enjoyment of the tramways for eighteen months, after which they were to receive tolls from any vehicle using the tramways. As soon as the tram- ways were laid down the defendants commenced running their carriages on them, and continued to do so up to the present, having put a construction of their own on the act of Parliament. They made new carriages, or adapted the old ones to running on the tramways, by putting the wheels underneath instead of at the sides. The terms of the act were prohibitory of the running on the tramways of ordinary carriages" plying for hire. The Vice- Chancellor was clearly of opinion that the defend- ant's omnibusses came within the meaning of the act. He therefore granted the injunction asked for by the plaintiffs to restrain the defendant from using portions of the tramways for the purposes of their omnibusses. It was intimated that His Honour's decision would be appealed against. A SUNDERLAND SOLICITOR CHARGED WITH SELL- ING SPIRITS WITHOUT A LICENSE.—At the Sunder- land Police Court, on Saturday morning, Mr. Mark Thompson, jun., solicitor, was summoned at the instance of the Excise authorities, on a charge of having sold six gallons of spirits without a license, The charge arose out of the transactions of the de- fendant with the spirits which he and Mr. Ballans obtained from Mr. Schomberg, of Harrogate, under circumstances which came rather prominently before the public in connection with a trial in the police court on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretences preferred by Mr. Schomberg, but which was dismissed.—Mr. Robson, who appeared for tho defendant, asked for an adjournment for a week. If the matter came before their worships they could not convict except for a certain penalty. The Excise were disposed to take a smaller sum, and if the bench could adjourn the case for a week, he hoped that smaller sum would be paid, and then there would be an end to the case.—Mr. Bell, on behalf of the Excise, had no objection to the adjournment, and the bench assented. The full penalty attached to Mr. Thompson's offence, it seems, is £500.T. C. Elliott, who was concerned in the same transac- tions, was charged with a similar offence. Mr. Bell prosecuted. The defendant did not appear, and it was stated that he had gone off to America. The sale of twelve gallons of brandy to Mr. John Bell, of Dunning-street, was proved, and the bench then inflicted a fine of £ 25—one-fourth of the £100 penalty.—Nev:ca stle Chronicle. CURIOUS QUESTION UNDER THE GAME LAWS.— In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, the case of Allen v. Thompson was heard. It was an appeal from the sessions for the North Riding of Yorkshire, held at Leyburn, against a conviction under the Game Act, 1 and 2 William IV. cap. 32. The third section of the act provides H that if any person whatsoever shall kill or take any game or use any gun, dog, net, engine, or other instrument for the purpose of killing or taking any game on a Sunday or Christmas day," he shall be liable to cer- tain penalties. The facts found that the appellant had set some snares on a Saturday on ground over which he had liberty to sport, and that he held an Excise licence. It was not found that he had been near the snares on the Sunday; but a person who entered the ground found the snares set and a. grouse in one of them, although it was not found that the grouse was caught on. Sunday. The main questions were whether it was an offence to set snares on a week day, and allow them to remain set on a Sun- day, and also whether tliie snare was an engine" within the meaning of the act. It was contended for the appellant that a snare was not such engine but principally that whetre, as in the present<ca" men had not lifted the snares on the Saturdav night, and thus allowed them to remain on tin; Sunday, but without any personal control on that day having been taken over the snares, there was not a user within the meaning of the act.—The Court held that allowing snares to remain set on a Sunday was an offence against the statute, and the conviction was affirmed. SUCCESSFUL APPEAL FROM A COURT MARTIAL.— Recently, Armourer Sergeant Sinton, 42nd Roval Highlanders, was observed by the adjutant in the lines of the 33rd Regiment, at Aldershot, in com- pany with the armourc r sergeant of that regiment, and wearing his working dress. The adjutant sent to him the bandmaster of the 42nd to inform him that he had taken, notice of the irregularity. Sinton replied, All right," understanding that the band- master was giving him friendly advice, and not placing him in 'arrest, for the latter continued to walk away. On the following day the adjutant asked Sinton if he was not aware that he had been placed under arrest, and, on Sinton replying in the negative, he ordered him to the confinement of his room, whenc e he was subsequently marched as a prisoner before the commanding officer, and the fol- lowing char ges were read to him :—" First, conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discip- line in having been out of his lines improperly dressed J 'secondly, breaking his arrest while in ar- rest befo're being set at liberty by proper authority. He was tried by a. regimental court martial, and found guilty on the first charge and not guilty on the second. His punishment Was reduction to the ranks and forfeiture of pay a,mounting to 3s. per clay. It appeared that he was not aware that any particu- lar dress was defined for armourer sergeants during working hours, and that when in the lines of the 33rd regiment he was there for the purpose of in- viting Armourer Sergeant Lamb to dine with him according to fraternal custom, the 33rd Regiment- having just arrived from Portsmouth. The particu- lars of the case were embodied in a memorial to the Trield [Marshal Commanding in Chief, who sent an. order to the Commanding officer to reinstate Sir.ton, who 1m3 been reinstated accordingly in his former rank and position, and receives his back pay. The paintings of Mr.-John Everett Millais, R.A., exhibited this year at the Royal Academy, have fetched over £11,000, so eager was the competition for their possession. It is stated that j82,000 was paid him for one of the two portraits he exhibits this year.—The Architect. Numismatists should be quick in securing speci- mens of the Roumain coinage, because the Porte has protested against it as: being in defiance of the firman of investiture, bearing, as it does, only the effigy of the Prince without any recognition of the suzerainty of the Porte. A funny extravaganza by Mr. H. J. Byron, and founded on a German fairy legend, has been successfully produced at the Adelphi. The piece is little more than a vehicle for scenery and ballet, both of which are introduced with a prodigally and splendour seldom witnessed at this theatre. Lord Herries has consented to let the Early Eng- lish Text Society copy and print his manuscript Book of the Order and Government of a Noble- man's House," by G. Constable. It will form one of the Society's series of books on Courtesy and Early Manners and Customs/i edited by Mr. Fur- JUuJJ. The council of the Church Ass-oan-tion has elected Mr. Joseph Hoare, of Child's Hill, iiampstcad, J their chairman, in the place of the late Mr. Colqu- houn. WITHDRAWAL OF THE TAX ON "RAILWAYS.—The Raihvay Neivs understands that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has finally decided upon withdraw- ing his proposals for dealing with the tax on rail- ways. The representatives of the Northern and Southern lines have not been able to a^ree upon any plan among themselves which Mr. Lowe will accept, and it has, therefore, been intimated that nothing will be done in the matter in the present ses-ion. STRANGE FRAUDS IN PRUSSIA.—A very curious occupation has recently been discovered in Prussia, find a few of its professors are under examination before the law courts. It appears that a regular organisation exists for fraudulently aiding young r.s n in evading military service by producing arti- t!daily symptoms of disease on those bound to s "rve, thereby disqualifying them, and it is said i. u t many army doctors, in different parts of the kingdom, have been deceived by the means adopted. 'Palpitation of the heart was induced by dosing the subject with strong coffee and Burgundy wine, or by causing him to smoke tobacco strengthened by rc'. nips hemorrhage was imitated by pig's blood eu.ced with vinegar; various sores were imitated by the stings of bees; the eyes were touchel up with caustic to make the sight defective, and enlarge- ment of the pupils caused by striking 1 hem with atrophia. The defendants, who are six brothers named Dieckhoff, seem to have realised large sums of money at their ingenious trade. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES ACTS—The Home Secretary received en Friday a deputation, largely composed of women, who asked for the repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts.—Mr. Jacob Bright hav- ing briefly stated the object of the visit, Professor Newman presented a memorial.—Mrs. Butler in- formed Mr. Bruce that she had visited the garrison to of Kent, and could assert that the grossest outrages on women were practised under the opera- tion of the new law, and that the excitement in consequence was dangerous to the peace. From th0 working men of Kent, who keenly felt the in- sult that the women were made to suffer, she had a message to the Home Secretary, viz., that they had dog forgotten their countryman, Wat Tyler.—Mr. Bruce pointed out that there were two sides to the question, adding that the legislation objected to had originated in the recommendation of a meeting of a great medical society, and they all knew that the medical profession was especially humane, enlight- ened, and liberal-minded. As to the satisfactory working of the acts, he admitted that doubt existed, and he thought there ought to be full inquiry by competent persons into not only the medical, but also the moral, bearings of the question and he promised he would jdo all he could to obtain a com- plete, an immediate, and a thorough investigation. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE GREEK BRIGANDS.—Amid the horror caused by the accounts of the racent atrocities by the Greek brigands, it has been with a kind of savage satisfaction that the public has learnt that some at least of their number have met with the condign punishment they had so wickedly earned. The name of the' brigand has long-been associated with ideas of heroic bearing and romantic generosity, but the mercenary and brutal wretches who perpetrated the recent horrors have dispelled those fictions. A photograph now published by the London Stereoscopic Company will also assilt to show what the brigands of Attica really are. It is a representation of the heads of the seven villains who were shot by the soldiers and afterwards de- capitated. None of them appear to be very young, and the majority are of middle age. In two in- stances the faces are disfigured by wounds, but in others the ordinary aspect remains. One is posi- tively fearful in its ugliness, but several are only noticeable for the truculence displayed on them. One head, with matted ha r obscuring a low fore- head. impresses the beholder with the idea that in life the man who bore it would never have shrunk from cruelty nor listened to an appeal for mercy. The youngest faces are the least repulsive, but all of them are of the lowest type, and indicative of savage greed.—Times'. WILLS AND BEQUESTS.—The will of Mr. Edward Stanley, of Cross Hall, Lancaster, and 14, Grosvenor Square, Middlesex, was proved in London, on the 20th ult., under £ 140,000 personalty, by the Right Hon. the Earl of Dartrey, the testator's son-iii-law; and Mr. Edward James Stanley, his son, the joint acting executors. The testator married, in 1819, Mary, daughter of James, Earl of Lauderdale, and died, Marcn 8th last, aged 81, having executed his will January 21, 1867, and a codicil April 20, 1869. He bequeaths to his wife an annuity of .£1,000 in addition to .£2,000 per annum under settlement; aLo all the jewellery worn by her. as well as all other ornaments of the person; the choice of two of his carriages, with suitable horses, and wines from his cellar to the amount of .£1,000. To his two daughters, who the testator says are amply provided for under marriage settlements, he has left complimentary bequests as proofs of his affection, To Miss Emily Hammon, who has been for some time his reader, he leaves a legacy of £ 500; to James Read, footman to Lady Mary Stanley, an annuity of £25; and to Ann Brown, his cook and house- keeper, £3Q a year. His real estate and the residue of his personal estate he leaves to his son Edwa-d absolutely. The testator was deputy lieutenant for Lane ister, and a younger branch of the family of the Earl of Derby.—The will of Colonel Charles Leslie, K.H. of Her Majesty's army. late of the Grenadier Guards; of Balquhain, N.B.; Hassop Hall, Derby; Slindon Hall, Sussex; and Fetfornear House, Aberdeenshire, was proved in London, on the 22nd ult. under .£35,000 personalty in England. The gallant colonel had served with distinction in the Peninsula. He has left to his son and heir and only child his various estates in the counties of Fetternear, in Scotland. He leaves his diamonds and jewellery to descend as heirlooms with the man- sion-house of Fetternear, in Scotland. There are several pecuniary legacies to friends, numerous charitable bequests to Roman Catholic missions, and legacies"to both in and out door servants.—The will of Mr. Frederick Wiltshire has just been proved under £ 20,000.—Ths will of Miss Blanch Artley, of York Terrace, Regent's Park, was proved under £ 25,000.—The will of Mrs. Emma Castleman, 74, Cambridge Terrace, Hyde Park, was proved under £ 40,000.—Illustrated London News. HORRIBLE MURDERSATBALTIMORE.—BALTIMORE April 21.—The entire city was intensely excited this evening by a report that five horrible murders had. been perpetrated by a mother cutting the throat" of four of her children and of her own mother. The report proved true, the facts being as follows:— About four o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Catherine Ma h. who, with her four children, lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dwyer. at No. 99, Canal-street,, a few doors from Belair Market, committed the terrible butcheries, first killing her children, and then assaulting her own mother. Mrs. Dwyer, the mother of Sirs. March, in her ante-mortem examina- tion to-night, sf ated that at about four o'clock this afternoon herself and her daughter.CatherineMarsh, and three children of the latter were in the hou?e. Mrs. Marsh asked her if she had ten cents, and on her answering "No," she (Mrs. Marsh) said she had ten cents. She then put on her bonnet and left the house. She went a few doors and 'orrowed a butcher's knife. She then -proceeded to District School No. 13, and calling out her son James, aged eight years, cut his throat from ear to ear, nearly severing his head from his body. A little boy named Burnett came out of school with James, and witnessed the murder. Mrs. Marsh, after committing the horrible deed, rushed at the boy Burnett, but he ran and escaped. She then returned to her home and went in the back yard, where another son, William, aged seven years, was swinging, his little sister, Mary Jane, aged four years, being at play near by. She seized William and cut his throat, causing instant death, and immediately grasped her little girl and applied her weapon, cutting off her head. She then went into the house and cut the throat of her youngest child, George, aged about two years and five months. The head was nearly severed from the body. She next assaulted her mother, aged about fifty-four, and very feeble, cutting her throat so terribly that she cannot- sur- vive. Mrs. Marsh, the murderess, is aged about twenty-seven, was born in the County Kerry, Ire- land, and has been in the United States about twenty years. She was married some nine years ago, in this city, to William Marsh, a barber, who left her about eighteen months since to find employ- ment elsewhere. He is now said to live in New York City. The reputation and character of Mrs. Marsh is said to have been very good. She was un- doubtedly temporarily insane when committing the murders. The faces of the murdered children, as they lie side by side to-night, are as placid and calm as if they were composed in sweet sleep. They are dressed neatly, in the sam e clothes they wore when killed. At nine o'clock t o-ni ght the mother, who is confined at the Eastern Police-station, was conscious of her deeds,-New York Times.
