SPIRIT OF THE DAILY PRESS. AMERICA AND EXTRADITION LAWS. Alluding to the Winslow extradition case, the Echo says —The facts of the dispute between the two oountries are briefly these: The United States authorities applied for the surrender of Winslaw, under the tenth article of the Ashburton Treaty of 1842. Our Government was willing to surrender the tnan. but it required from the Govern- ment of the United States an undertaking that Winslow should not be tried for any offence but that for which he wax surrandored. The United States refused to give the undertaking. The Ashburton Treaty requires no such undertaking, and they take their stand on the treaty. It is quite true that the treaty stipulates for no such undertakipg, but in 1870 an Act of Parliament was passed prohibiting eur Government from surrendering criminals unless sueh an undertaking is given. There can be no doubt that the principle of this Act is right. We ought not to give up persons, as a general rule, without an assurance that they will not be punished for political offences. But it is equally clear that an Act of Parliament cannot override a solemn treaty. Our Government ought, therefore, to have negotiated a modification of the Ashburton Treaty, not t.) kave taken upon itself by its own authority to modify the treaty. But, furthermore, the need for negotiation is shewn by the fact that an undertaking such as is required in this case from the American Government, even if it were given, would not be worth the paper on which it would be written. Forgery, and, indeed, all offences against the ordinary cri- minal law, are not offences against the United States, and are not triable in the Federal oourts. They are breaches of the law of the particular State in which they are committed, and only the courts of that particular State have jurisdiction over them. Thus Win- slow would be answerable only to the courts of the State ef Massachusetts, and would, we assume, be at once handed over by the American Government to the officers of that (State. But in criminal matters the Federal Government, and even Congress, have no more authority over the laws ar the courts of Massachusetts than they have over those •f Canada. Even if the promise were given, therefore, it would not be binding on Massachusetts, which might insti- tn any proceedings it pleased against Winslow, once it fot him within its jurisdiction. Referring to the Act of 1870 in reference to fugitive criminals, the 7\mt$says -By this enactment Parliament sought to provide against the ingenuity of foreign Govern- ments who, having got hold of a fugitive on one charge, soming within the provisions of the particular treaty under which they claimed, might proceed to try him on another, which the laws of our country would not recognise as an for it must be recollected that it is only certain defined classes of offences which in treaties or in the Act are recognised as 11 extradition crimes.?, The evidence against Winslow, presented before Sir Thomas Henry, established a complete primd farte oase ef forgery, and forgery is one of the offences IOT which extradition is promised by the Ashburton Treaty, and legalised by the Extradition Act; but the Government, being ready to surrender Winslow, have asked from the United States a guarantee, in accordance with the words of the third srotion, that the person sur- rendered shall be put on his trial for forgery, and nothing else. It is alleged that Winslow may be tried for some minor offence not among those for which extradition is stipulated in this treaty. This promise Mr. Fish refuses 'give, aaying that the President has no power to limit the authority of the United States' courts over a criminal ence within their reach. Happily, this is not a question about which much excitement can arise. Whatever may be our obligations under the Ashburton Treaty,they cannot be satisfied within British territory in defiance of Acts of Parliament. American iurisprud?nce supplies the strongest testimony in support of the authority of municipal law. If there is a oonflict between our treaty obligations and the powers of the Government, the remedy must be pro- vided bv a calm consideration of the question, and the fuller the public discission in both countries the better.! The necessity for a revision of the Ashburton Treaty has keen long manifest, and is in nothing more conspicnous than in the limited number of offences for which by th ;t treaty extradition is authorised. An amendment in this respect will be a gain to both nations, and will materially ievelope and define the practise of extradition. Referring to the notice given by the American Go- vernment to abrogate the tenth clause of the Ashbur- ton Treaty, the Daily Newt says :—We pointed out that the eleventh clause of the treaty provides for this ab- rogation of the extradition section on the simple notice of either Government; and the action of the United States Cabinet therefore leaves the two countries without any arrangement for claiming fugitives from justice. Neither countries can afford to offer an asylum for vagabonds from $be other, and the notice now given must therefore be regarded as preliminary to the nego- tiation of a new extradition treaty. It is difficult to see what will be gained by this proceeding, except that must be b used on the principle which the British Government believed to be included in the abrogated clause of the treaty of 1842. It is, ef eoarse, impossible to go back from this uniform and con- sixtent principle of onr extradition policy, and if the Government had any disposition to do so the Act of 1870, which we quoted, would render it impossible. The new treaty mast be negotiated on the principle that a man is only to be tried on the charge proved by the evidence on which his sur- render is asked ana mvle. The Americans seem to havt' considered that the terms of the abrogated clause of 1842 did not bear this interpretation and they will probably see thenecessity for now making the matter clear. The American eoarts must then go behind the possession of j their prisoner, who will have been surrendered on oondi- tions which it is essential should be observed, since they have been made not with the prisoner himself, bat with the State which gave him up to justiea. 4RREABS OF LEGAL BUSINESS. It will soon bo 21tltely impossible, says the Daily Telegraph, to deal withdaily growing arrears of legal business. The evil is as mitu^^alt in Lincoln's Inn as at Westminster Hall. The taree; Vice-Onanerllors and the Master of the Rolls are literally overwhelmed with work, and, if the present state of affairs should oontinue. Justice will become as limp of foot as the great master of English lotion represents her in Bleak House. It would be prematmre, of course, to consider waat precise remedy is ssost needed, although it w sufficiently evident that there is more work to be done in the oourts than the existing judges can manage. It i, Not too mmoii to gay that fttt aduiLional vice- 1 Chancellor, together with three more puisne judges on tne Common L/aw side, would be only enough to Vring the oourts up ta their proper strength. This aooet- rion te the jadioial staff would, of course, entail a eon- siderable increase in the estimates; but, on the other hand, tkere is no more serious matter than a delay of justioe. He judges are harder worked than perhaps any others of her Majesty's servants. Indeed, this duties of a police oxece tu&e-aa compared with those which devolve upon a judge õf- the superior courts. It is always a shortsighted policy to ex- pect two men to do the wo-k of four, and, unless the exist- 1nl arrears should by some unforeseen magic melt away, the public will have a right to insist that the promise3 with which the Judicature Act was heralded in shall be fulfilled, aad that something shall be done to make justice not only oheap, but also expeditious. IRISH REGISTRATION LAW. We (Standard) are inclined to think that few people who attended the debate can doubt that, the Irish registration law is not satisfactory. It is not right, for instance, that a persen should be disqualified simply because he does not attend a revision court to substantiate his claim. Every one who knows Ireland is aware that party spirit there runs muoh higher than on this side of St.George's Channel, and that, unfortunately, the lines which divide party and ereed are too often identical. Of late, we are happy to say religion is ceasing to govern politics as exclusively as it did but even still it is unfortunately true that in' many places the general rule holds good thai the Cathelics are all Liberals and the Protes- tants all Conservatives. In such a state of things it is inevitable that the Liberal agent should object to every Protestant and the Conservative agent to every Catholic. Thus all who do not atvend are disqualified. But it seems to u., paradoxical as it may sound, that the non-attendants are precisely those who would be the most valuable on the register As a rale, they are people who prefer to look after their business to looking after the interests of their partv • thev are, that is, neither agitators nor zealots, but 'moderate, sensible men, whose votes would be useful on the day of election to kcep out extreme candidates of anv kind But while we admit the force of the argument for a reform, we do not think Mr Meldon s bill is the measure which ought to be passed Indeed, as Mr. Gibson observed, the bill seems ohiefly intended to meet the case of the counties of Dublin and Carlow. ihe^e two coun- ties, as our readers are aware, return two Conservative members, and to Home Rulers that seems a monstrous prooeeding. SPAIN AND NATIONAL BURDI-FNS. Henceforth, says the Morning Post he people of the Basque provinces will have to hear their proper sha -e of thenational burdens of the conscription and laxa ton. These are the main and rrally important points of tne special privileges that have been enjoyed by this porci m of Spain. Exemption, either whole or partial from the cm- option and national taxation is an ;advantage as nous a* it is great, and was well worth fighting for on the fields ef battle and diplomacy. It i» fcJue provinces furnished a local force, a oertain contribution to the national excheq te.r; but that was very different indeed from iavi, g their manhood drained by the conscription and paying taxes in proportion to their number, and wealth. The Government will have tne countiy with it in applying this policy, for Spain is fully of opinion tha.t all differences of treatment of the subjects of the Crown should be abolished. It is to be hoped toat tne represen- tatives of the people will shew themseives to b e^aji enlightened in regard to the taxation of the c y S rally. It is not satisfactory to find that there P'uty in the Cortes that would prefer to remit tax.Utoa to keeping faith, or ende:ivourina to ~P > with the creditors of the nation. P y, we trust and believe, will be defeated. I l Go- vernment that has had colll-lS ness to propose and carry througn the inat cers of ii, w is toleration and the suppression of the Ba.^que Fueroa will not be likely to be found wanting in insisting that the J. y. v, nri > nosed for rawing the revenue arrangements that it has proposeu LUI I* shall bo adhered to. The internal foes of^pan &ave to be met with a bold front. Any wavering or sigo of weak- ness would be prejudicial not only to the Government, but to the country itself. We do not anticipate any isue i wavering or weakness. On the contrary, the past acien and policy of the Government give every cause tor expec ing that it will bo strong enough and determined eaough te carry religious toleration, to maintain the taction pro- posed in the Badget, and to suppress the Fueros in the Basque provinces.

CHARGE OF ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. At the Clwkenwell Polioc-court, yesterday, Thomas Sergeant, aged 16, a baker, of 2, Garden-court, City-road, was charged before Mr. Barstow with b'eing drunk and attempting to commit suicide by throwing himself into the waters of the Regent's Canal, at Clerkenweii.- From the evidence of Police-constable Dafter, 54, N Re- serve, it appeared that yesterday morning, about one o'clock, he saw a number of persons in a wharf by the side of the City-road Canal, and on poing to ascertain the cause, he found that the defendant, who had caat himself from the bridge into the water, bad been Enlled out. The defendant, who was drunk, said that e had done it because he was tired of his life. The depth of the water whore the defendant jumped in was 12 feet.-In reply to the cliai-ge the defendant said that he had no intention of committing suicide, for he soild awim. H. was with a companion, who dared him to jump from the bridge. To yrove that he could swim he jumped into the water and swam to the wharf.- Mr. Barstow ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 10s., or in default to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for seven days. The defendant was locked up in default.

PRESENTATION OF COLOURS. The presentation of new celours to the 77th Regiment of Foot took place at Woolwich yesterday in the presence ef a. distinguished assemblage. It was originally in- tended that the presentation should be made by the Prinoe of Wales immediately upon his return from Iridia but the regiment being under orders to leave Woolwich for Fermoy on the 12th inst., it was decided that the pleasing duty should devolve upon the Dilke of Cambridge. Soon after eleven the regiment, which is in command of Colonel Kent, was drawn up on Woolwich Common, the ground being kept by 1.000 of the troops in garrison, the spectators numbering some thousands. At half- past twelve a Royal salute of 21 guns boomed forth from the Greenhill Battery, announcing the arrival of the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Gifford, V.C.. and a staff. The Commander-in-Chief inspected the 77th Regi- ment, which marched past in quick and double time. The presentation of new colours was then made by his Royal Highness, the consecration service being per- formed by Bishop Claughton, Chaplain-General. After the oeromony the distinguished party repaired to the Cam- bridge Barracks, where the 77th are quartered, and partook of luncheon, covers being laid for 300:

SUICIDE OF A FOREIGN GENTLEMAN. Yesterday morning Mr. Payne held an investigation into the cause of the death of Victor Valdmaire. who was found in the Thames. It is assumed that he jumped off a bridge. Dr. Wil^n, of 31, Ludgate-hill, said the body had only bein in the water a few hours. There were extensive injuries, but they might have been sustained by a fall from some height, and most probably would be. Mr. William Bailey Heath, barrister, of Lincoln s-inn, said he had long known deceased, who was agent to his father, a large wine grower at Treves, in Rhenish Prussia. He was highly educated. Witness saw him last Thursday. He had come over to push the wine business. He had had typhoid fever, jaundice, and inflammation of the lungs all in one year, which had retarded his progress in the Prussian military service, and caused him to be reduced in rank, and this witness believed had depressed him. Deceased seemed disappointed at the progress of the business, and did not like soliciting orders. On the 2nd of May he received a letter from deceased, in which he said Respected air,I dare to address you thus, though Imewing I am on the point of committing a crime which will make me the execration of everybody. It is not the result of insanity, though I should wish it to be thought such." He implored him to break the matter gently to his parents, and added that his courage had failed him at the outset Immediately on the receipt of this witness did all he could to avert the act, but it was too late. He had no doubt his mind was unhinged. Verdict, temporary insanity.

WINE V. SPIRITS. A rather disagreeable fact, says the Globe, comes to tight in a Parliamentary retun that has just been issued. In spite of the low prices at which foreign wines can now be purchased, compared to wlnt prevailed a few years ago, this form of stimulant barely holds its own ground. In 1871 16.140.G33 gallons paid duty for consumption within the United Kingdom, while the amount last year was 17.219,807. This shews an increase of a million gallons, more than the whole of which took place, however, during the first half of the term. In 1873 the quantity had risen te 17,90Q,932 gallons, this being largely in excess of the present consumption. Foreign spirits, on the contrary, exhibit a persistent increase throughout the whole period. in 1871 the quantity charged wuh duty amounted to 8,926,619 gallons, but in 1875 we find it given at 11.853,364 gallons, the increase thus being nearly three millions of gallons. Putting the matter roughly, it may be said that while in the first year of the term the consumption of foreign spirits bore a proportion of one-half to that of wines, the proportion last year was about two-thirds. Oft analysing the return more closely, it appears -that Scotland and Ireland. consume less wine every year, the slight aggregate^ increase of 1875 being due to an increased demand in England. On turning to the table showing the quantity of British spirits retained for con- sumption, an even more rapid rate of increase is seen. In 1871 the total amount for the United Kingdom was 24,163,644 gallons, against 30,100,107 in 1875, shewing an increase of 26 per cent., or at the rate of (;i per cent. per annum. Were the demand to continue developing at the same pace, the consumption of British spirits would double every twenty years, a prospect justify- ing rather pessimist views of the state of society at that date. Taking both British and foreign spirits, the aggregate quantity now retained for homecon- aamption is 41,939,471 gallons, and that of foreign wines 17,239,807. Daring the last five years, the former have therefore increased by 11.869,208 gallons, or twenty-five per pent., au* the hkttpr by paly J.,099,124, or 4bgut 64 wet oeq)-

ITEMS OF GENERAL NEWS. A site has been secured for the erection of a free library and museum at Derby. Mr. Baas, M.P., is to give £ 8,000 towards the object. A fire has broken out at the Penny Bridge Paperworks. The fire was in the chopping house, and was extinguished, the damages being estimated at about JE150. The Right Hon. W. B. Gladstore, M.P., according to the Levant Herald, proposes to visit the plains of Troy during the coming autumn, in order to explore the site of the dis- coveries of Dr. Schliemann. A petition, which has already received the signatures of several English as well as Irish representatives, is being promoted among members of Parliament for the release of the Fenian prisoners. Captain Arthur Duraaresque, a retired naval officer, has been discoverea lying dead on a footpath near Limerick. A gun was beside him, and there was a gun-shot wound behind his ear. He suffered from softening of the brain. The Collegiate Church at Cumbrae has been oonsecrated as the Cathedral of the Isles, in the diocese of Argyll and the Isles, by the Primus of the Episcopal Church of Scot- land. Deputations from Liverpool, Preston, and Carlisle have waited upon the Council ot the Royal Agricultural So- ciety to urge the claims of the several towns to be selected for holding the society's show in 1877. Liverpool has been fixed upon. The Salford analyst has reported that recent analyses of several samples had shewn that the adulteration of food was exceedingly prevalent. With reference to milk he cal- culated that the inhabitants of Salford pay L35,000 a- year for the water alone which had been added to the milk supplied to them. The goods guards of the Midland Railway are at present considerably agitated by an announcement of the directors that they intend to discontinue payment for overtime. Various meetings have been held, and an interview re- quested with the board to demand that the objeotionable order be withdrawn. The proclamation of the new Royal title has been made by the heralds at the Cross of Edinburgh with the usual ceremonies. The heralds were escorted by a guard of the 79 th Highlanders. There was a large attendance of spec- tators. The reading of the proclamation was followed by the band playing the National Anthem. In the Customs and Inland Revenue Bill, there is a clause as to the restriction of male servants in the 19th section of the 32 and 33rd Vic.. c. 14. It is not to in- clude a r--son who has been bon4 fide engaged to serve his employer for a portion only of each day, and does net re- side in his employer's house." Preparations continue to be actively made for the Working Men's Exhibition, which will be opened in Bel- fast on the 23rd instant by his Grace the Duke of Aber- com. The Queen has connted to send a collection of works of art to the exhibition, and it is stated that the selection to be lent by Sir Richard Wallace, M.PV is valued at £ 12,500. The authorities at the War Office, says the Medical Examiner, have decided to relinquish the idea of abolishing the Army Medical School at Netley. The school will be extenriel so as to accommodate an increased number of students, and there is every hope that-th-,tnks to the pres- sure of medical and lay opinion-the institution will be put on a thoroughly permanent basis. The Rev. C:ti;on l^ugentVVade, one of the canons dissent- ing from the Bristol Cathedral chapter resolution, has met with a serious accident. He had just remounted a horse after leading it over the Clifton Suspension Bridge, when the animal shied and threw him. He was picked up in- sensible, and is now suffering from concussion of the brain. As the Canon is 73 years of age, his position occasions his friends great anxiety. The Wrexham Guardian believes it is the intention of the Duke of Westminster and Sir W. W. Wynn to wait upon the Prince of lyales a few days after his arrival in England, to induce his Royal Highness to visit Wrexham during the Eisteddfod week. The Lord-Lieutenant of Denbighshire proposes inviting the Duke of Connaught to Ruthin Castle during the holding of the Art Treasures Exhibition. I hear says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, that Lord Westburv, son of the Whig Lord Chancellor of that title, has been elected a member of the Carlton Club. This, after all, is only a political reversion, for the first Lord Westbury was a Tory till he was turned out of the Conservative club for having allowed his name to be placed on the committee of a Whig Parliamentary candidate. A proposal is, we (Pall Mall Gazette) are informed, nndev consideration to unite the Lome Fund with the Curates' Augmentation Fund; to this, it is believed, the supporters of the latter will offer a strenuous opposition, as the sole aim and principle of this fund is to better the condition of the unbeneficed clergy. The Lorne Fund, whose object is to augment the incomes of the beneficed clergy, is understood to have resulted in comparative, if not actual, failure. The sudden and untimely death of Lord Lytfcelton, says the Westminster Paper*, excited the liveliest regrets among all classes of aliesii-players. For a long series of years he presided at all public assemblages of chess-players in this country, and his interest in the game and its practitioners was one of his most marked characteristics. He was a player of more than ordinary force, and when in town was -nlar visitor to the St. George's and Westminster Chess Clubs. Vue London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway Company has just begun to issue books containing 20 return tickets between Fenchurch-street and Grave send or Southend, Each ticket will be available for a double journey on anr day by any ordinary train during the year of issue. There is a reduction of 5 per cent. on the fares passengers would pay on taking return tickets for each separate journey. The movement has already met with wonderful success. Glforge Mnllender, a tramp, has been charged at the police-oourt, Woolwich, on suspicion of setting fire to three stacks of straw, value SUM, on the farm of Mr Hunt, of Welling. It appeared that the prisoner applied for per- mission to sleep in an outhouse, and was refused. Not- withstaniKing this he went and slept in the chaff-house, and shortly afterwards the stacks were discovered on fire. On being roused up and searched a pipe of tobacco was found upon him, but no matches. Prisoner was remanded for inquiries. The office ot the Registrar of Joint-stock Companies, which is now at Serjeants -inn, Fleet street, wijl be re- moved. after the 10th of June next, to Somerset House. The business connected with this department of the public service has been under the supervision of the Board of Trade, but it is now placed uuder the control of the Inland Re%« me Department. The Hon. C. E. Curzon has re- signed the appointment of Registrar, and is suooeeded by Mr. W. H. COtllens, Storekeeper-General of the Inland It-venue, who will, the Firmncitr understands, hold both appointments. On taking his seat on the bench of the Probate and Divorce Court, Sir James Hannen said that he had re- ceived a communication' from a gentleman who had lately serve 1 on a special jury in the court, and who called atten- tion, on public grounds, to the fact that in handing them their fees the usher sought to retain the silver on the ground of custom. His lordship expressed his strong dis- approval of the conduct of the usher, and stated that it was contrary to an express order of the court, which was poated in the building. Application has been made in the Chancery Divisions for directions as to what should be her Majesty's style and title in a writ to be issued out of the country. The Vice- Chancellor at first referred the applicant to the Record and Writ Clerk's Office, from which the proclamation of the Queen's new title has been issued but, upon being informed later that the Clerk of the Records and Writs had professed himself unable to act in the matter without direction from the court, said that the Lord Chancellor must be applied to if the parties were in difficulty upon the question. The death is recorded at his residence at Jellybrook, King's County, in his 86th year, of Lieutenantz-Colonel John Head Drought, J.P., and D.L. The deceased officer obtained his commission as cornet in the 13th Light Dra- goons March 3, 1808 became lieutenant September 8 following and served with that regiment in the Penin- sula, France, and Flanders. He became captain of the 93rd Highlander in 1816, and was placed on half-pay m 1817. This veteran officer had received for his services the war medal, withsix clasps for Albuera, Vittoria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse. The quarterly convocation of Royal Arch Freemasons has been held at the Freeaiaeons' Hall, when the three chairs were occupied by Lorn de Tabley, Major Ramsay, and Mr. S. Rawson. The new officers for the year were appointed, Lord de Tabley reading out their names. The Pnnce of Wales is Grand First Principal, and his choice of officers has fallen on the following companions of the order :-The Earl of Carnarvon, Lord Skelmersdale, Lord de Tabley, Mr. John Hervey, the Earl of Donoughmore, the Hon. William Warren Vernon, the Rev. Spencer Robert Wigram, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Birchall, Mr. Samuel Tomkins, Mr. M'Intyre, Q.C., Mr. Thomas W. Boord, M.P., Mr. Edward J. Barron, Mr. John M. Case, and Mr. C. B. Payne. Lieutenan -Colonel Robert Johnstone Bnm, who has just died at 34, Curzon-street,Mavfair,- obta'ned his commis- sion as cornet in the 14th (the King's) regiment of Light Dragoons by purchase Deoember 31, 1841 beoamt lieute- nant May 16, 1845; and eaptain, March 15, 1853. He served in the 14th Hussars at the suppression of the mutiny at Arunjjabad in 1867. and with the Central India Field Force under Sir Hugh Rose in 1858, and was present at the siege and capture of Bahutghur, relief of Sang or, capture of Garrakota and pursuit across the Bear, at Mal- thone, siege and capture of Jhansi, and commanded a squadron of the 14th Hussars with three horse artillery guns detached on special service on February 12, 1858, and received the thanks of the major-general commanding, for the good service performed by the detachment.
