GROSS OtJTK AT MANCHESTER,…
GROSS OtJTK AT MANCHESTER, j Shortly before midni^ ^t on Saturday an attempt was made—happily without success—to blow up, by means cf gunpowder, the dwelling-house of Mr. E. Johnson, builder and contractor, situated at Levenshulme. Mr. Johnson, who, we are informed, has long been in personal jpopardy, owing to his disputes with the brickmakers' union, had just rea 'hed hon:e, when he was alarmed by hearing a loud explosion beneath his drawing-room window. Upon search being made the fact was discovered that a. bottle containing gunpowder, lighted by means of a fuse, had been dashed against the win- dow, but that, owing to its having struck a part of the wooden frame, it had rebounded and exploded without doing any mischief. The bottle had been encased in half-burnt clay. Further search led to tie discovery, within a few yards of the window, of two other bottles, filled with gunpowder, the fuses attached to which had burnt out, probably owing to their having beeij exposed to the rain. These, instead of being encased in clay, were bound tightly round with string and cloth, and covered with a. layer of pitch; and from the mouth of each a tube, two or three inches long, to which the fuse had been attached, protruded. The intention of the persons by whom these destructive weapons had been prepared was, doubtless, frustrated by the wind and rain, as not fewer than fifty spent matches were picked up along with them. The same night, and within half-an-hour of the above occurrence, a timber shed belonging to Mr. Johnson, situated in chapel-street, Ancoats, was discovered to be on fire. Information was conveyed to the chief fire station and Mr. Tozer, the superintendent, accompanied by the fire-brigade, went to the place. The flames were subdued in about two hours, but the amount of damage done, including the loss of a quantity of timber, will probably reach .£1,500. None of Mr. Johnson's workmen were on the premises after four o'clock in the afternoon. Everything tends to show that the fire was the work of an incendiary, pro- bably acting in concert with the miscreants who committed the outrage at Mr. Johnson's house. It is said that for nearly twelve months Mr. Johnson has been at war with the brickmakers on the question of the introduction of machinery. The use of machine-made bricks—which became necessary owing to the strike—commenced about June last, and Mr. Johnson, who was one of the chief promoters of the establishment in Fairy Lane.Cheet- ham, and is about to commence a similar one at Beswick, has ever since incurred the odium of the hand brickmakers. Frequent intimations have been conveyed to him that he was in personal dan- frer; and for a fortnight preceding the events of Saturday he had not deemed it prudent to sleep at his house. The fact seems to be that an organised conspiracy of the worst kind has been in existence, and has culminated in the outrages above described, The authors of these outrages are not known, but large rewards are offered for information which shall lead to their apprehension.
THE MUBPEBS IN GREECE
THE MUBPEBS IN GREECE Further diplomatic correspondence respecting the murders in Greece was issued on Saturday morning. Mr. Erskine explained that Colonel Theagenis was appointed to treat with the brigands, on their expressing a wish to deal with a person of standing, and that on two reserved points he re- ceived full latitude from the Greek Government. A letter of Mr. Herbert's testifies to the intense de- lire of the brigand chief for pardon. On Mr. Her- bert urging the impossibility of that, the chief re- plied that if the representatives of England and France threatened to destroy Greece, unless the matter were quickly settled, the Greek Government would find a way to settle it in a moment. The Greek Government, meanwhile, issued orders for a strict blockade of Oropos, where the Brigands were the brigands to be allowed to leave and go where they would with their ransom when they had given ap their captives. These terms the brigands would not accept without the categorical pardon, as they had very little faith in their Government. They would not even go to Athens to submit to a mock trial, but suggested that a Government officer should be sent to Oropos to try them and pardon them on the spot. They again warned the captives that they would resent any movement of troops as a violation of the promise made to them in the last inclosure. A despatch from Theagenis to Zaimis relates the Interview with the brigand chiefs. He urged that the constitution forbade the pardon. And who made the constitution?' they asked. "Thenation." Then let the nation assemble and alter it. We can wait 10 months if necessary, since God has sent us these prisoners for our preservation." On Theagenis hinting that they had better not attempt to leave Oropos they became angry, and said, Yes, we see r-nt very well; an ambush has been prepared for Li-, but we will kill the prisoners."
» A FENIAN CONGRESS,
» A FENIAN CONGRESS, Pursuant to the call of General O'Neill, the Fenian Congress met yesterday, says the New York Times of April 20, at the Masonic Hall. One hundred and fifty-five delegates were present. General J. J. Donelly, of Utica, was chosen temporary chairman, and Mr. O'Hara secretary pro tern. Nothing was done up to six o'clock, when a recess was taken until p.m. On re-assembing at that hour the Congress was organised and proceeded to business. A mo- tion to adjourn was made but overruled, and the session continued until 11 20. The business of the evening was kept secret, and it is a matter for the future consideration whether anything shall be made public or not. The Congress meets again this morn- ing, as it probably will every day for the rest of the week. The daily sessions will be held in the lower hall, and the evening in the lyceum on the top floor both of which have been engaged for a week. Armed sentries are posted at the entrance to the chambers to prevent the entrance of strangers and of disguised spies. A council of war was held at head-quarters last night. General O'Neill and staff, the Secretary of War, and many officers were present at the consultation, which lasted some time. The deliberations and result were kept perfectly secret, and nothing but vague rumours reached the ears of the outsiders. The prevailing belief is that, as we have before stated, the advance guard will move to-night. The officers who are to command, having received their final orders, left last night. It was freely stated by prominent officers of organi- sation yesterday that not only will the expedition depart within a few days, butthatfighting will have commenced on the frontier ere the close of the pre- sent Congress. General O'Neill will direct the movements of the raiders.

Dr. R. Angus Smith is preparing for publication a new treatise on impurities in the atmosphere and how to detect and remove them. Gounod is at present suffering from a painful but temporary affection of the hand, which prevents his finishing a new work on which he is engaged. The new hall of the Inner Temple is to be opened v Her Royal Highness the Princess Louise, accom- i/1-ied by Prince Christian, on Saturday, May 14. Prince Arthur attained his twentieth year on Sunday. He was born on the 1st of May, 1850, and ntered the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, in isr,7. Some feeling has been caused in Portland, Maine- by the action of a judge in committing a witness. in the midst of a trial of a case, for probable per- iurv." The committee of the Koyal Dramatic College en- trusted to award the T. P. Cooke prize of 100 guineas for the best national or nautical drama sent in, have decided upon holding over the sum, and allowing the fund to accumulate, to enable them to offer a nvize sufficient in amount to induce authors of es- t.nl si ed reputation to compete, and to secure a dvawa th« nrofits of which will be likely to benefit 'e, MR. BKKNAL USBORNE UNSEATED.— I fte VlonmeI Chronicle has published the following: A rumour reached our office on Saturday evening that the gallant member for the city of Waterford had been unseated. The intelligence came upon us with sur- prise. At once we instituted the necessary inquiries, and found that the hon. gentleman had been thrown from his horse in riding through Johnson-street. We are happy to say he sustained little injury." BRISTOL ELECTION PETITION.—The petition lodged against the return of Mr. E. S. Robinson, the recency-elected member for Bristol, will be tried about the pr.d of this month, in the new Assize Court, at Bristol. The petitioners (four in number) are m'-inbers of the Local Working Men s Conser- vative Association, and they allege that Mr. Ro; hi on was by his agents and friends, and by per- sons acting with his knowledge and consent, guilty of bribery, treating, and other corrupt practices, before, curing, and after the election; that there were similar corrupt practices at the preliminary test ballot; and that Mr. Robinson, by his agents and friends, was guilty of gross personation of voters at the said elections." THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF DROWNING AT HAY- DOCK.—-James Wain and three others, in custody on suspicion of their being concerned in the death by drowning of a woman unknown, at Haydock, were brought before the Magistrates at Newton on Saturday, charged with murder.—Inspector Diccon- son said the police had arrived at the conclusion that the woman, who was seen on the canal bank a short time before her death, with her hands be- fore her face, as if weeping, had either fallen into the canal or had thrown herself in. The only circumstance implicating three of the prisoners was their having been seen in the company of the de- ceased a short time before her body was found, but in their case suspicion had been cleared away by the information of a witness, who saw them leave the deceased and go in an opposite direction to that in which she went. With regard to the prisoner Wain's statement on the evening the body was found—that he had pushed a woman into the canal without intending to drown her, and that it iiad been a bad job"—no reliance could be placed *>n the statement, as both the person who declared he heard it and Wain himself were at the time in drink. Under these circumstances, he (the in- spector) offered no evideuce.-The prisoners were ^charged
A COTTON MILL BURNL' IJOWX.
A COTTON MILL BURNL' IJOWX. On Monday one of the most destructive fires which have ever occurred in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire took place at a mill at Westhoughton, a v.llage situated about midway between Liverpool and Manchester. The building wa3 the property of a limited company, known as the Westhoughton Co-operative Cotton Manufacturing Company, the proprietors being principally gentlemen resident in Westhoughton and the adjacent villages. The spinning portion of the mill, five storeys in height, was one of the finest structures of the kind in the county, and had attached to it an extensive weaving shed, store-room, and offices, with a number of cottages adjoining. The fire commenced a few minutes after eleven o'clock in the upper storey, but its origin could not be learnt at the time this report was dispatched. The flames immediately obtained a strong hold, and spread very rapidly, attracting the attention of persons several miles distant. A telegram was immediately dispatched to Bolton fo\ engines, and, although they arrived a few minutes after twelve o'clock—about an hour after the fire broke out—there was then little left of the mill excepting the outer walls. The fire had spread to the store-room, most of the contents of which, however, had been removed by the hands. A copious supply of water was obtained, and the weaving shed, which adjoins the store-room, was entirely saved. The value of the property destroyed is estimated at) about .£30,000, and the shed saved is worth .£10,000. The insurance will nearly, if not quite, cover the loss. The inmates of the cottages adjoining the mill were in great terror, and removed the whole oftheir household goods but, fortunately, the flames did not reach these premises. Nearly 500 hands will be thrown out of employment.

The John Bull says We hear that the Bishop of Rupert's Land, when visiting a prisoner in the Red River Settlement, was told that his life was in danger, and that he communicates in cypher with his friends. The whole of the San Donato collection has now been disposed of. The sales commenced on March 23, and were 20 in number, producing for the pic- tures, 2,372,863f.,and for the curiosities, 2,4S6,576f. total, 4,859,339fr. Experiments made to ascertain what colours are most quickly and easily perceived by the eye seem to show that bright yellow is the colour most easily distinguished, andis therefore suggested for railway signals.—Photographic News. A hostile encounter has taken place near Paris, between M. Janvier de la Motte, son of the ex-pre- fect of that name, and M. de Mareuil. The former was slightly wounded in the right arm. The cause of the quarrel is not stated. Otto Jahn's celebrated library has been put up to auction, and all that portion relating to Mozart has been purchased entire (says the Musical iitan- dard) by Kyllmann, a deputy, and liberally offered by him to the royal library at Berlin. The Pittsburg Gazette says of one of our state Senators, that he "he gained nothing at the late session beyond the excecrations of his outraged constituents, and the hearty contempt of honest men everywhere. And all that he had before." THE CONVENT AT CLIFFORD.—For some time past the convent here has been without Sisters of Mercy." On Friday four fresh Sisters arrived and were met by Mr. Grimstone s carriage and con- veyed to the convent at Clifford. They came from Loudon. Major General the Hon. J. Lindsay arrived at I Montreal on the 6th instant, and issued orders tak- ing over command of the troops in Quebec and On- tario. Major General Lindsay, before leaving Eng- I land, was, we understand, invested with full powers to take what steps he might think proper with re- gard to the formation of the force to be despatched to the Red River, which will be under his command. It is not improbable that after the transfer is male to the Dominion of Canada General Lindsay will lie appointed to the governorship of the North-western Territory, and not to return to England until peace is fully established.—Army aiul Navy Gazette. THE TRAMWAYS BILL.—The Tramways Committee have reported their resolutions to the House, and also the bill, with various amendments. These re- solutions are to the effect that the Government bill is to extend to Scotland that provisional orders for the construction of tramways are to be grante 1 by the Board of Trade and confirmed by Parliament; that the consent of two-thirds of the municipal cor- poration or other local authorities is to be required; that the Board of Trade may institute a local in- quiry that the Board of Trade may proceed to grant a provisional order, notwithstanding the ob- jeetion of the local authority; that the maximum tolls are to be fixed in the provisional order. There are various other resolutions as to the locus standi of certain parties, and to the maximum tolls. THE ALBERT LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY.— Several cases were heard on Monday, before Vice- Chancellor James, respecting claims made against this company by participating, and non-participat- ing policy-holders.—The Vice-Chancellor, in deliver. ing judgment, said that the question at issue in the first case was as to the manner in which the amount of compensation claims by a policy-holder could lie estimated. He thought the non-participating policy holder should be placed in the same position which he occupied in the Albert office, or another substan- tial office. As regarded the second class of claims, it had been contended that, as the contract had been made that they should participate in the pro- fits of the Albert, they were entitled to be indemni- fied fully for the loss they might sustain by a breach of that contract; but as the Albert had lost the opportunity of making profits, they must suffer for the risk they ran. The claims of the policy holders must precede those of the other creditors of the Company, and in all cases the calculation of damages should be made on the bases of the normal health of the party assured. However, in cases where the health had failed subsequently to the assurance, the subject required some further con- sideration. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the above Society was held on Monday, in Exeter Hall; Mr. W. S. Allen, M.P., in the chair. The large hall was filled to overflowing.—The Rev. Mr. Wiseman read the report, of which the follow- ing is an abstrrct:—The home receipts for the year had amounted to £109,326 3s. 3d. and the foreign receipts to £ 36,424 12s. 5d., making the total in- come amount to £ 145,750 17s. 10d., being less by .£598 than that of last year. The expenditure, in- cluding the cost of the Canton and Hankow mis- sions, the missions in Italy, and the new mission- house in Paris, had been £ 145,577 4s. 10d.; leaving a small balance towards the accumulated deficiencies of former years, which amount to £19,573. Sevc- ral laro-e legacies and donations are included in the rec ipts. The report detailed the work of the mis- sions on the continent, in the colonies, the United States, China, the East and Westlndies, &c., which had been for the most part of an encouraging and satisfactory character. The Rev. Dr. Jobson, the president of the Conference, moved, and the Rev. Dr. Stacey, of the New Connexion, seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. The Rev. G. Parkes, Rev. H. Fowler, Rev. E. Jenkins, Rev. J. Denny, and other leading Wesleyan minis- ters subsequently addressed the meeting. IMPRISONMENT FOR LIBEL.—The case of The Queen v. Shimmin came before the Court of Queen s Bench on Monday. This was a criminal information for libel, tried at Liverpool, when the defendant was found guilty, but sentence was deferred. The defendant now appeared to receive the sentence of the Court. Mr. Shimmin was the printer and publisher of a paper at Liverpool called the Porcu- pine, and the prosecutor was Mr. Fernie, managing director of the Merchant Trading Company. The Company were the owners of a steam vessel called the Golden Fleece, which was lost off Cardiff, with 2,017 tons of coal on board, by the water getting in at one of the bunkers. A Board of Trade inquiry took place into the loss, whichresulted in the asses- sors finding that, from some cause or other, but which they could not ascertain, one of the coal ports in the bunkers was forced open, and they ac- quitted the officers and crew of blame. There af- terwards appeared in the Porcupine an article headed Marine coal-scuttling," and in it the writer, after referring to other inquiries of the same kind, men- tioned the Golden Fleece in termswhich, Mr. Fernie contended, applied to him, and charging him with having been concerned in scuttling the vessel f< r the purpose of obtaining the insurance, which was greater than her value.—Mr. Justice Blackburn sentenced the defendant to one month's imprison- ment in Kirkdale Gaol, as a first-class misdemeanant. THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL TEM- PERANCE LEAGCE.—The annual public meeting of the National Temperance League was held on Mon- day night in Exeter Hall, London, S. Bowley, Esq., in the chair. The hall was crowded. Mr. Rae (secretary) read the report., showing that the tem- perance movement is gaining ground, particularly among the medical profession, and with the leading clergy of the Church of England and Dissenting denominations. On the 20th of February crowded congregationslistened tothe advocacy of temperance principles in St. Paul's Cathedral, Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle, and the large Wesleyan:Chapel in City- road. TheChairman said the meeting was not held so much to convince the public as to encourage and animate each other in the cause they had at heart. It was the wealthy part of the community, the edu- cated and refined, who were mainly to blame for the depraved taste of society m regard to intoxication, therefore he hoped such classes wou^dtakepart m the reformation. He was glad themedical profes- sion was coming round to then' si ,.Pe e Christian Church would shake off the indifference they now displayed- Though he -!n the legislative part of the movemen i y hoped the United Kingdom Alliance wou c- cessful. The Rev. J. G. Gregory (Chelsea) urged tie importance of ministers of the gospel practising total abstinence, for the sake of example to theIr flocks. Stirring addresses were also delivered by the Revs. S. Romilly Hall, Manchester A. H. Mac- lean, Glasgow Joseph Crossfield, of London, and other ministers and gentlemen, the proceedings being most enthusiastic throughout. Mr. W. J. Gilbert is preparing an English version I of Offenbach's opera, H Les Brigands." Mr. John Stuart Mill, after spending a few weeks at Blackheath, has returned to Avignon. A telegram received from England has altered the destination of H.M.S. Galatea to Australia. The Messageries Imperiales steamer Tigre, draw- in"- 20 feet of water, arrived at Port Said on Sunday. n Part of the scenery for the French Opera-house ( at Madrid has been painted by Messrs. Grieve and Sou. An American paper proposes Justifiable in- sanity as a convenient form of verdict in many cases.

The Government has succeeded in the Punjab with the young plants of the eucalyptus gum-tree from Australia. Mr. Max Strakosch is said to have the manage- ment of Mdlle. Nillson's approaching tour through the United States. Information has been received in Skibbereen of a. quantity of arms and ammunition concealed in the town, and also of a meditated rising. The Rev. Brabazon Grant, rector of Rathconrah, in the county of Westmeath, has recieved a letter threatening him with death unless he dismisses all his Protestant servants. A PRESENT FOR THE PRINCE OF WALES.—A large joss or idol has been sent home from China by Admiral Keppel, as a present for His Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales, and has arrived at Sand- ringham. The figure weighs about 30 cwt., being made of metal. It is not of great height, but of massive proportions. The ornamentation is elabo- rate, and the whole details of the figure are dis- tinguished by the painstaking minuteness which generally characterises Chinese workmanship. RIOTS AT PLUMSTEAD COMMON.—Serious distur- bances took place at Plumstead on Friday and Saturday, on the decision cf the Master of the Rolls in reference to the enclosure of the common in favour of the commoners becoming known. The rioters broke up all the fences, and carried off the wood. They also threatened to pull down some houses built on land not affected by the decision. Three ringleaders were brought before Mr. Maude, police magistrate, and fined .£4, or one month's hard labour. POLITICAL SITUATION IN AUSTRIA.—The Wan- derer says, While in Austria the political situation becomes more involved from day to day, while the Germans, and more especially the German peasan- try, ostentatiously show their dislike of the new Government, though the Czechs remain as sullen as ever, the way is gradually being paved for a great religious revolution in Bohemia. The Slavo- nian national church begins to show signs of life, and only too soon, far sooner, indeed, than Cardinal Sohwarzenberg himself expected the apprehensions which that prelate communicated to his Holiness in reference to the question of infallibility seem likely to be realised. The idea of founding a church at first for the Czechs alone, which is to be indepen- dent of Rome without ceasing to be Catholic, is by no means new. The Czechs hope by means of a common church to tighten the national ties which have as yet held the Slavonian races of Austria and Hungary only loosely together. Whoever has fol- lowed the Hussite movement during the last few years must, in spite of its strong political flavour, have been convinced that, though its leaders used the name of Huss as a watchword they had no intention of reforming the Church. The purpose these men either consciously or unconsciously aimed at was the union of the whole Slavonian race by means of a national church. First of all it was necessary to break the ground which had lain fallow for centuries This has been done. The soil was loosened by the Huss demonstration of last year, a movement directed in some respects with admirable skill, and what was the result ? In spite of the brilliant and frequently enthusiastic speeches which were made and circulated by the press, in spite of the Hussite tracts distributed among the peasantry, and the energetic though secret support of the Young-Czech country clergy, the movement could not be properly set agoing, and it seemed as if last year's efforts would be fruitless when the supporters of the Na- tional Church suddenly found a new and powerful ally in Rome. What the brilliant and enthusiastic speeches of our modern Hussites could not effect, what the press could not produce by publicity, nor the Young-Czech clergy by secret agitation, Rome has achieved by stating the question of Papal infal- libility. The question has borne the healthy seed which, as it is certainly tended by the leaders of the Czech party, will doubtless strike deep root in the soil, thrive luxuriantly, and bear fruit. And to Rome the credit of this is due. The apostles of a nltional church have also gained new adherents of intellectual and scientific mark in Dr. Pichler and Dr. Overbeck, two Russian officials of high stand- ing. Dr. Pichler is well known to the literary world as one of the greatest of Dollinger's disciples. His works entitled the" History of the Eastern Church," and the "Reform of the Catholic Church" are sufficient proofs of his extraordinary talents and vast knowledge. His long friendship with Dollinger has doubtless done much to strengthen his bold plans of ecclesiastical reform. It is highly prob- able that the national Slavonian church of the fu- ture will have many points of resemblance with the Russian Church, but there will be one essential difference between them. While in Russia the Czar is the head of the Church, the highest ecclesi- astical authority of the new Slavonian national Church will be a synod composed of the highest spiritual dignitaries. Whether, and to what ex- tent the Russian Government is concerned in the movement is a question we cannot answer at pre- sent, but it is certain that it is well acquainted with the steps of the Slavonian national party. PERILOUS ADVENTURE IN AN OLD COAL-MINE.— The Scotsman gives the following account of an ex- traordinary adventure :—A few days ago an old miner, named John Miller, residing at Parkfoot near Denny, along with his son James, had a narrow escape from death in the extensive coal-mines at Banknock, belong ng to Mr. W. Wilson. The old man, who had lately given up the occupation of min- ing, was under the impression that a portion of the coal remained unworked in a part of the coalfield where the workings had been abandoned for nearly half a century. So confident was he of the existence of this part of theseamthat he frequently expressed his intention of exploring it, although he was often strongly dissuaded from doing so. Without informing any one, however, the old man and his son entered the mine by an old day level between nine and ten o'clock in the forenoon, and soon found their way into the old disused portion of the workings in search of the unwrought seam. They had never thought of the probable state of the labyrinth of roads and passages which they would have to traverse, nor made any provision for a prolonged stay; but equip- ped with a couple of common lamps and four lucifer matches, the explorers proceeded fearlessly into the depths of the old workings in quest of their ob- ject. Having reached a quarter where the venti- lation had ceased, they suddenly found themselves among noxious gases, and to complete their mis- fortunes their lights were extinguished. The four matches were now their sole resource and these were successively struck but owing to the state of the air no light could be obtained. Left in com- plete darkness in the damp, dismal mine, with a choking atmosphere around them, and nobody aware of their unfortunate situation, their condition was certainly dangerous; for to have remained long in the atmosphere which enveloped them would have been certain death. Fortunately, after wandering about for a short time they got into better air but how to get out still remained a fearful question. Hour after hour the two adven- turers wandered through literally hundreds of rooms, roads, and passages without discovering any means of egress. Nor was the mere feeling of being lost in the mine, without any visible means of escape, the worst of their misfortunes. The uncertainty of their fate increased at almost every step. The falls from the roof had blocked up the passages; and wherever they went the slightest touch would bring away a loose mass of rock which might kill them instantaneously. Once was the old man caught in this way, but as the fall was slight, his son got him relieved without his having suffered much injury. Wandering, and more frequently crawling about on hands and knees for many hours without food or light, hope began to sink within them but still they trudged on until hunger and fatigue, cold and wet, rendered them unable to move, and their end seemed close at hand. Meanwhile, steps were being taken outside to effect their recovery The miner's wife waited patiently during the night for their return, and when morning came she informed her neighbours of their absence, and also of her suspi- cion that they were lost in the mine, as she had fre- quently heard the old man express his intention of exploring the seam referred to. She was confirmed in her suspicions by observing that the lamps and the oil-flask were gone. The whole facts she very soon communicated to Mr. John Stirling, manager of the works, andhe instantly proceeded to organise searching parties to discover the missing men. This was a difficult and dangerous occupa- tion, for unless proper precautions were taken the searchers themselves might also get lost amidst the manv miles of coal waste. Marking their course with chalk onjthe walls as they proceeded, the search- ing parties, after an arduous search, came upon traces of the explorers, and steadily following up those indications, they at length came upon the son, and shortly afterwards the father was also found. The old man was in a state of utter prostration, and had to be carried out of the mine; and his son, al- though apparently not so much exhausted, swooned away as soon as he reached the open air. The poor men were in a pitiable condition. From head to foot they were covered with mnd and dirt, and their elothes torn to shreds, so that nobody could re- cognise them. They were then conveyed home, tfter having been 30 hours in the mine. The old man has since been confined to bed, and his re- covery is doubtful j while the son, owing to his youth and strength, has completely recovered. =====- At a meeting of the Knniskilien Town council, on Monday, Messrs. Brothers. of London, proprietors of the Enniskillen Gas Works, were fined one fifth of the quarter's account for insufficient supply of gas and it was agreed to advertise for a new gas company to supply the town. Mdlle. Nillson, who has been reoently indisposed in Paris, is to appear at Drury Lane on Saturday next. and will continue to perform in London until the end of the season. She then proceeds to Sweden to see her family, and will leave Europe in Septem- ber for the United States. The amount of paper used by the Imperial print- ing office and by the Emperor's printer, M. Henri Plon, for printing the different proclamations and the voting cards bearing" Oui," is estimated at 20,000 reams, each ream having cost 12f. 50c., which gives a total of 250,000f. or .£10,000. The prize of the Belgian Academy for a physical or mathematical investigation, given once every five years, has been awarded to Professor Plateau, for his memoir on the statics of liquids submitted solely to molecular forces. The difficulties of the investi- gation were great, and were much increased by the fact that the Professor is blind. Mdlle.

In the Diplomatic and Consular Service Com- mittee, on Monday, much interest was excited by the examination of Earl Derby. Earl Clarendon was also present. Earl Derby held it to be impos- sible to amalgamate the service with the Foreign Office, and said it was absolutely necessary to keep our representation in foreign courts on a par with that of other countries. He did not think that it would be wise for a person without, private means to enter the service, and was decidedly of opinion that the principle of admission should be selection, regard being had to seniority. GREAT BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE.—The open boat race between Harry Kelly, of Putney, and John Bright, of Newcastle, for .£200 and a level bet of .£100, took place on Monday afternoon, and was witnessed by many thousands of spectators. The course was from the High Level Bridge to Scots- wood Suspension Bridge, four miles. It was a splen- did race half the distance, but immediately after- wards a foul occurred. Ultimately Kelly passed beneath the bridge with a lead of fully five lengths. Both men claimed the race on account of the foul, but Mr. Johnson, the referee, gave his de- cision in favour of Kelly. THE QUORN HUNT.—On Saturday last, Messrs. Tattersall sold by auction, at the Kennels, Quorn. don, the whole of the horses connected with the late Quorn Hunt, in consequence of the retirement of Mr. J. C. Musters, the master. There was a large assemblage of gentlemen, but the bidding was very slow. Thirty-one lots were offered, and the highest price obtained was for Valesman, who was put up for 250 guineas, and sold for 300. Proctor made 270 guineas while the animal making the lowest price was Fenella, which fetched 23 guineas only. Mr. Copeland, the new master, Jonly made two un- important purchases. The total sum realised was 3,631 guineas. MISSING FOR FOUR MONTHS AND DEAD AT HOME AT LAST.—The American newspapers report a curious case. A man named Colt, living in New York, disappeared on the second of December last, being last seen by the conductor of a car apparent- ly going towards his home. The relatives and his wife made every exertion to find Colt, without the slightest success. About the time her husband disappeared, Mrs. Colt noticed that the outhouse door, which fastened with a spring-lock, was shut, and as she had no key, she was unable to open it. The natural grief and anxiety attending the fruit- less search for her missing husband, caused Mrs. Colt to pay no special heed to the circumstance, and she made no effort to open the door. Mr. Colt still continuing to be missing, his wife and children were finally compelled, after an interval of some three weeks, to leave their residence and seek another more suited to their changed circumstances. The second floor which they had occupied was not relet and still remains untenanted. On Tuesday (April 12), several boys residing in the neighbourhood en- gaged in a game of hide and seek," and one of them in the course of his play peered through a knot-hole in the side of the out-house already spoken of, and was surprised to see the form of a man therein. The police were subsequently notified, and broke open the door, and discovered that the man was quite dead and slightly black in the face. It proved to be the missing Colt. The process of decomposition had in some unexplained manner been greatly retarded. THE ATHENIAN MASSACRE.—The Levant Herald says :—The brigands of Pentelicus are in luck. A wealthy Irish peer, a brace of secretaries of lega. tion, and a couple of other well-born Englishmen form such a bag as these classical sportsmen have not made for years. The nearest approach to it was the capture, 18 or 20 months ago, of a yatching party in the Morea, and some time after that of M. Anagnostopulo, the ex-Minister of Finance. But the former escaped, if we remember rightly, for the trifling ransom of 15,000 or 20,000 drachmas, and the Minister for some 8,000 or 10,000. Such a take, however, as has now been made at Marathon, is worth the whole of these, with a caravan of Cook's tourist's thrown in, as their captors evidently know, and hence the demand for such a ransom as, if paid, may float the brigand brothers into the Chamber, or even into office. There is the further difference, too, between the present little adventure and other similar ones, that the Greek Government, which has proved its inability or want of will to stamp out this plague of the country, will most probably have to pay the piper, since to its apathy or the conni- vance of more than one of its members—we speak of past Cabinets quite as much as of the present one—belongs the blame, and therefore the equita- ble responsibility, for the state of anarchy of which this outrage is a result. M. Soutzo, the Minister of War, is libelled, or his relations with this particular band are more intimateand reciprocal thanhe would probably care to acknowledge. Be this as it may, the incident is an unfortunate one for the Zaimes Ministry and for Greece. If it had happened in Turkey, what an outcry would have been heard against the Porte! But brigands in Attics and^the Abruzzi are as much matters of course as partridges or blackcock. CAN DRUNKENNESS VITIATE AN ACCIDENT POLICY ?—This question, which is one of consider- able importance to insurance companies, was argued in the Court of Exchequer on Saturday. The Acci- dent Insurance Company, Limited, were the defend- ants in an action on a policy of insurance against accident for £300 which was tried before the Lord Chief Baron in Middlesex, when a verdict was re- turned for the defendants. The plaintiffs were the executors of a man who met with his death in this manner :—One night he was drinking in the Plough Tavern at Winslow, and between twelve and one o'clock, when he was described as being half seas over," he retired to the yard and there fell, head foremost, into a cesspool which happened to be un- protected, and he was suffocated. The policy con- tained a condition to the effect that the Company should not be liable if the death of the assured was caused by a voluntary and wanton exposure" of himself to obvious and unnecessary risk and danger; and the question was whether the deceased, by get- ting drunk, voluntarily and wantonly exposed him- self to the injury which led to his death. The de- fendants showed cause against a rule which had been obtained for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection and that the verdict was against the evidence. On the one side it was contended that when the deceased drank until he was unable to take care of himself, and brought himself to a danger which a sober man would have avoided, that amounted to a voluntary and wanton exposure under the terms of the policy on the other said, the argu, ment was that although the drunkenness might have contributed to the accident, yet he could not be said to have voluntarily and wantonly exposed himself when in that state to the danger which re- sulted in his death. The getting drunk was volun- tary, but the actual exposing of himself to the danger was involuntary.—The Court took time to consider their judgment. A GAME CASE.—In the Court for the Considera- tion of Crown Cases Reserved, on Saturday last, the case of the Qneenversus Rae came on. The prisoner was convicted at the Derby county sessions of stealing a dead partridge. A number of gentlemen were out shooting at Kirk Halllam. One or other of them shot a partridge, and the bird, after tower. ing, fell in a field belonging to Colonel Newdegate, one of the party. The°prisoner, entering the field from the road, picked the bird up. Counsel for the prisoner contended that there was no case to sup- port a charge of larceny that if there was a spark of life in the bird at the moment when it was picked up, it could not be larceny it was uncertain who gave the bird its mortal wound. The jury found that there was no evidence to prove who shot the bird; that when the bird was picked up by the pri- soner it was alive, but in a dying state, and so dis- abled that it could not escape; and, thirdly, that the prisoner took the bird fraudulently, and with intent to defraud the owner of it. The question for the opinion of the Court was whether the bird was the subject of larceny, and whether the property in the bird was sufficiently laid in Colonel Newdegate. Lord Chief Justice Bovill said that if the indict- ment had simply stated that the prisoner had stolen a partridge it would have been bad, because a bird or an animal in a wild state was not the subject of of property. The requirement in the indictment of the words "dead partridge" was not one of form, but of substance, and necessary to make the steal- ing in this case one of larceny. The bird was wounded before it died, and when it was then picked up or caught by the prisoner it was impossible to say it was anything more than a wounded bird. The proof required to establish the case had failed, and the conviction must be quashed.—Mr. Justice Willes was of the same opinion. It was never intended to make poachers who took game thieves as well as poachers.—Mr. Justice Byles, Mr. Baron Cleasby, and JusticeHanaen concoxwd.—Conviction quashed. Mr. C. Reade is dramatising Put Yourself in His Place" for the Adelphi. Mr. H. Neville will re- turn to this theatre, to sustain the principal char- acter in the piece. The Chief Commissioner of Police has issued a cautionary notice to householders, in view of the in- creasing number of burglaries and attempts at them in London and the suburbs. The Rev. Dr. Ryan, late Bishop of the Mauritius, and at present rector of St. Nicholas, Guildford, has accepted the vicarage of Bradford, rendered vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Burnet. Signor Francesco Dall' Ongaro's "Tesoro," a play derived from a few lines forming a fragment of one of Menander's comedies, has been successful at the Niccolini Theatre, in Florence. M. Alfred Fouillee has just published an elaborate work on the philosophy of Plato. His work is more important and more original than French works on the history of philosophy usually are. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN IRELAND.—ML'. D'Arcy Irvine, of Castle Irvine, Fermanagh, has been fired at through the window of his residence. A ball passed close to him fortunately without inflicting any injury- Ledru Rollin is in London, and will probably re- main there during the whole plebiscitary period. The Figaro says that he has left Paris not wishing" his name to be mixed up in the affair of the plot against the Emperor's life. The winter session of Glasgow University wo,s formally closed on Friday, and with the proceedings on the occasion the old college buildings in High- street ceased to exist for academic purposes. The next session will open in the splendid edifice at Gilmorehill. INCOME TAX.—The following letter has been re- ceived in reply to an inquiry as to the proper de- duction of income tax :—" Somerset House, London, W.C. 29th April, 1870.—Sir,—I have laid before the Board of Inland Revenue your letter of the 25th instant relative to the deductions to be made for income tax from half-yearly payments of rent and interest on mortgages falling due since the 5th of this month. In reply, I am directed to acquaint you that the deduction should be at the rate of 5d. in the pound on the portion of the payment of rent or interest applicable to the period to the 5th April, and at the rate of 4d in the pound upon the remain- der.—I am, &c. T. SARGENT.—Mr. W. W. Morrell. CARDINAL CULLEN'S DEPARTURE FOR ROME. — Cardinal Cullen left Dublin on Saturday morning for Rome. A pastoral from him was read in all the Roman Catholic Chapels on Sunday morning last, in which he denounces Fenianism and Freemason- ry. He urges opposition to Mr. Newdegate's motion and in reference to the Land Bill says The statesmen who have shown so much love for the public good and the welfare of Ireland by under- taking a work of such magnitude, may be defeated by their opponents, but they deserve our warmest thanks and the lasting gratitude of the country. In my opinion, it would be fatal policy to do anything to weaken their hands or assist in driving them from power, CHASE AFTER A PRINCESS,—Le Gaulois relates an incident which it says occurred a few days since at Nice. The Princess of Monaco, who, by the advice of the Emperor Napoleon, recently returned to her husband at Nice, determined, for some reasons not known, to quit him, and with her mother took seats in a carriage forming part of the train for Paris. The Prince followed his wife and desired her to alight, but she refused. He threatened to invoke the aid of the gendarmes; but the Princess was in- exorable. The stationmaster, finding the hour of departure had already passed, ordered the carriage in which the Princess was seated to bedisconnected, and despatched the remainder of the train to Paris leaving the Prince and his wife to arrange their difference at leisure. ANOTHER SCENE IN THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL. —According to reports received at Vienna, a speech made at a recent sitting of the Council by Cardinal Prince Schwarzenberg, created even a greater up- roar than the famous one of Bishop Strossmayer. He said that the time for religious wars was past, and that an epoch of conciliation was at hand. It was equally unchristian, unintelligible, and incor- rect to place the Protestants in the same category with heathens and Atheists. The Roman Church and the Roman bishops must accept a word of ad- vice on this subject from the German and Austrian prelates. The latter are in daily communication with Protestants, and know them better than those who never see them or read their books. The pre- siding legate, Cardinal d' Angers, here interrupted the speaker, and a warm dispute between the two cardinals ensued. The President strove repeatedly, but in vain, to silence the Cardinal with his bell; and at length the bishops drowned his protests in a storm of hisses, in the midst of which the Cardinal was carried from the tribune, half-fainting from ex- citement, to his seat.—Eastern Budget. THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN.—The Dublin cor- respondent of the Pall Mall Gazette writes :—The position of Archbishop Trench is likely to become henceforward very uncomfortable. His correspon- dence with Mr. Maberly has produced considerable excitement, and a lay protest against his Grace's declared views, in addition to the clerical one, is now talked of. The tract which has caused the hubbub is out of print here and an inquiry at the booksellers discovers the fact that another large supply has been ordered from London to meet th" demand. The protestors against the Archbishop's opinions complain of his unsoundness with regard to the Real Presence, baptismal regeneration and the practice of confession but in parti cular of the description of questions suggested for self-exami- nation" in the manual of which his grace authorised the circulation in his diocese. It is said that the effect of this unhappy dispute will be to prevent many persons from subscribing to the Sustentation Fund in the diocese of Dublin. Others predict that it will precipitate a movement, which there was be- fore a general desire to defer, for a revision of the Prayer-book. Others, again, speak gloomily even of a possible disruption in the Irish Church at no very distant date. A CARDINAL ON PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.—The first printed protest by a Cardinal against the doctrine of Papal infallibility has (says the Eastern Budget) just been published at Naples, under the title of "De Summi Pontificis Infallibilitate Personali." Its author, the Austrian Cardinal Prince Schwarzen- berg, begins by guarding himself against the view that the opponents of Papal infallibility are also the adversaries of Papal authority and supremacy; an accusation which, he says, is obviously unjust and uncharitable. He next proceeds to combat the arguments in favour of Papal infallibility of the Jesuit Bellarmin, and especially of Dr. Manning. In opposition to these arguments he brings forward the following points :—1. A doctrine which is neither indicated in the Holy Scriptures nor in tradition so as to be at once recognised everywhere by all—and such a doctrine is that of personal inf allibility—c an never be a subject of dogmatical definition. 2. The principal defect of the doctrine is that it gives the right of decision in matters of faith to the Pope alone, and thereby deprives of such right the other depositories of the apostolic office. 3. It should be remembered that neither the Pope nor the bishops are masters of God's word; they are its servants, and they must learn before they can teach. 4. Hitherto, as a matter of practice, all the popes, in- cluding Pius IX. himself, have always consulted the bishops, &c. before coming to any important religious decision; but this will be impossible if the Pope is made personally infallible, for in such case he can- not ask or accept advice. 5. What is to become of Papal infallibility if the Pope should fall ill in mind or body—if a long vacancy were to occur in the Holy See; or if in consequence of a schism the validity of the Papal election should be doubtful ? The pamphlet concludes by warmly urging the abandonment of the dogma of Papal infallibility as the only means of securing peace in the Church. THE LOSS OF THE STEAMER SEA QUEEN, WITH TWENTY-NINE HANDS ON BO\RD. — EXTRAORDI- NARY REVELATIONS— A Board of Trade inquiry is at present being held in New castle into the circum- stances connected with the loss of the screw steamer Sea Queen, of London, and all the hands (twenty- nine in number) on board, on the 14th of February last, while on a voyage from Newcastle to Malaga. A large number of witnesses were examined on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last. Several wit- nesses spoke to the unseaworthy condition of the vessel during the voyage preceding the one in which she was lost, the pumps having- to be freely used, and several of the men refusing to go in her again. Others described her disgraceful state when she left the Tyne for Malaga, 0 wanting her main-mast, being very leaky, and much overladen. The dock- master said he observed to persons standing by when she left the Tyne Docks that she was nothing else but a coffin for the poor fellows on board." During the whole of his experience he had never seen a steamer leave the docks so deep in the water, and he' said to several persons at the time that "she would never reach her destination."—The widows, fathers, sisters, and other relatives of the poor fellows who were lost also gave evidence. Some stated that the men only joined the ship on the un- derstanding that she was to be overhauled before sailing. That had not been done, however and, al- though matters were made worse by the overload- ing, the men were compelled to go or be sent to prison. One told his wife that he only went for the sake of her and the bairns," and to save him- self from being thought a coward. Another replied, when his sister entreated him not to go, I've signed articles I'm no coward I'm only afraid of my character, and don't wish to be sent to prison." John Potter, who had a son on board as fireman, said his son told him that her side was so low that he could wash his hands over the gunwale. Wit- ness and his wife tried to persuade him from going in the ship, but he replied that he had signed artf- cles, and must go. At the sitting of the court to- day (Monday), the crew of the Cockle light-ship, and some coast-guardsmen near Yarmouth, will be called to give evidence as to the state of the steamer at or about the time she is supposed to have gone down. We need not add that the inquiry is ex- citing much interest not only among nautical men, but also among the public generally.
