OUTLINES OF THE WEEK. '+- FROM: America we have nothing but" wars and rumours of wars." The taking of Savannah by theJEederals was not succeeded by the surrender of Wilmington, as was anticipated by New York papers. General Butler is blamed for eowardice in this affair, for when the Federal fleet attacked the fort, which is the key of the Confederate gar- rison, and poured such a torrent of shot and shell in it that the men were driven from their guns to the casemates, and though the advanced guard of a division of Butler's troops, which had landed under cover of this fire, actually succeeded in gaining the glacis on the land side, this general ordered them to re-embark, on the plea that the fort was impregnable, and thus made a retreat whilst victory seemed in their hands. Let it not be supposed for a moment, however, that the Con- federates did not fight with courage; and perhaps, .after all, Butler took the most humane course he could adopt, for the South have as good military tactics as the North, and doubtless had the Federal-General forced., his way into Wilmington it would have been attended itfith fearful loss of life, and the victory would have been dubious. It is very sad to reflect .upgri the length of time this civil war has lasted?'and how much longer it might; be carried on. Even brother is fighting against brother, and uncle against nephew. A very touc^& g scene was depicted when the Federal army p^sed into Savannah. As one regiment maraked along two young men fell out from the ranlrs to assist a wounded Confederate soldier; he was at his last gasp, however, and he could only be eased by pillowing his head on the bosom of one of them. A Federal officer called them to their duty, when one exclaimed, Alas this is my brother;" and the other, "This is my much-loved cousin., we were the same age, and schoolfellows." THAT vast undertaking of connecting America with England by means of the electric telegraph will be again tried this year, and, we believe, with every prospect of success. The whole 2,500 miles of cable will be ready to pay out from the Great Eastern in June next. There are 800 miles of it ready now, and this is to be taken to the great ship to be placed in one of the three large tanks which are on board for its reception, as the gutta- percha that surrounds the cable must always be kept- damp. There are few that will not wish a hearty "God-speed" to the undertaking, and join us in the hope that it may be the means of uniting the old and new country together in closer bonds of friendship, and enabling us to form a more profitable alliance with each other than formerly. THE German papers state that there is a proba- bility of a fresh outbreak on the part of the Poles, and Lithuania and Samogitia are spoken of as likely to be the primary points of eruption. A landing in the Baltic of refugees is also antici- pated. We cannot but admire the persistent energy of these patriots; but as there cannot be the faintest prospect of success, their proceedings are culpable, as they bring misery to thousands who would willingly keep aloof from strife, and not. subject themselves and their families to the only issue which can follow such a proceeding— viz., further and severer oppression. IN the political world there is little to be recorded, as every one waits patiently to hear the Queen's speech and the new budget before they offer an opinion upon the policy of GovernmexLt., There are not a few, however, who speculate upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer's surplus, and there are those who absolutely fix the amount at two millions sterling. Then, again, it is pleasant to find rumours of reductions in, the army and navy suggested, and these rumours are said to be supported by persons high in authority. By many it is doubted whether a reduction in the navy will be carried out, but we may reasonably expect- a. j considerable reduction in the estimates as far as the army is concerned. Considering the enormous amount of money that has been shot away, and frittered away, and jobbed away for several years past, and that the great guns (human as well as- metallic) are still in a most unsatisfactory state, it ig high time that Parliament should take the mat t-r in hand, and not allow the public money to be wastvi in useless experiments. IT is a -^eat source of gratification to the Christian wo-ad to find that the gross superstition of the East is -.iving way under the mild and iudicious rule of th, English. Many of the Indian princeshave come to nglalld, and have set aside their idolatrous worship. A singular instance of this came before our nù-'ce last week. The mother of. Dhuleep Singh, WIK WAG widow of a mighty prince, died in this ountry, and she desired that her body should be to Bombay to be consumed according to India* riteg> The Shadhee priests, however, refused to -o(iaCe the body to ashes unless a very large sum u: money were given to them. A reference was the-upon made to Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, whose Mpjy .has just been received. It was to this effect-" lrv mother is dead; her body is simply nothing, ana to spend a large sum of money for the purpose of burning nothing would be a piece of folly which I am not prepared to perpetrate. I trust in God alone." „ WE are at all times anxious to give every in- formation that may be likely to conduce to the advantage of our readers, and we therefore append an extract. of a letter from the Secretary to the Victoria Emigrant Assistance Society, published last week in a London paper. As we have not, however, seen the rules or regulations of this w society, we should advise every intending emi- grant to examine them well before taking any l cieci^cd step.' We also feel the importance of impressing upon all who may contemplate emi- gB:afc>n, the necessity of subjecting themselves J i J> # .&.1 ¡: to a careful examination as to their quali- fications, and the real nature of the induce- ments that may be held out to them to take such a course. The life of an emigrant -is' one which, in many cases, doubtless, offers peculiar advantages; but, on the other hand, it presents many diiffculties, and often demands; strong physical power, together with a disposition to brave all dangers and endure all hardships. Thus, only a conviction that the chances of prosperity at home are- considerably against him dan justify a man jn exposing Viinself and his family to the risk of serious difficulty and trouble, which often attends the emigrant's career. The following is the extract we allude to:— At the present time, when many benevolent persons I are anxiously seeking to benefit poor and deserving people, will you permit mo to state, on behalf of the committee of the above society, that they have at-their disposal a number of "-assisted, passages" [to Mel- bourne, which are available for suitable emigrants who can pay the sum of X7 lis. 6d., the full cost o the passage being made up by the society. b. many cases where the emigrants are unable to pay the sum required, the difference is met by those who have the means and the will to help them to Australia, and so affording them a good chance of bettering their condi tion. The committee have assisted 1,200 people to Melbourne during the past eighteen months, amongst whom were twenty-one youths from "the refuges for homeless and destitute children," who have just sailed in the ship Elphinstone.-R. E. ALEXANDER, Sec.— Offices, 27A, Bucklersbury, London (E.C.). A GREAT deal has been said lately about the education of the middle classes, and during the past week fifty guineas has been, offered for the best essay on the great importance of an improved system of education for the upper and"middle classes of the community, with suggestions on -the best means of effecting and securing its continue 0 9 ance. These essays are to be dedicated '(by permission) to the right hon. the Earl of Clarendon, President of the Public Schools Commission, and sent to the umpire, the Rev. Dr. Emerton, Han- well College, Middlesex. Professor Blackie has also, in the course of the week, said that- The education of the middle classes of England was in a state altogether unbecoming the people and the age. It must be altered—be the subject of legis- lation—or Great Britain would fall from her place among the nations. It had been pronounced by Matthew Arnold, Professor of Poetry at Oxford, in his book, 'The French Eton,' to be 'the -weak point of England.' It was the strong point of Germany, Holland, and, France. It was one of the practical absurdities of this country, which stood upon routine and tradition." Now," we scarcely' know what is meant by -the middle classes we have an objeetion to put class against class; but if by the middle classes are meant persons of independent means, we appre- hend that such persons have the best opportunities afforded them of educating their children, and whatever law might be passed, pater or mater- familias would not like, in a free country like England, to be enforced to bring up their children according to Act of Parliament. The best and surest way of advancing education is to give the masses of the people a full opportunity of in- structing their children, and as they improve in the social scale so must; those better to do, in a worldly sense, keep pace with them; emulation is at last the loadstone by which the whole world will be attracted.- Educate the poor and the rich will educate themselves. "Give the masses of the people," in the language of the Earl of Shaftesbury when presenting the prizes of the North London Industrial Exhibition, noble, joyous, healthy recreations which will cause a larger development to those powers which are most dignified in their character. Improve the social life of the working classes, and induce them to keep to their own homes and exercise their minds upon matters that have a moral tendency. Encourage them in studying works of art to bring out their original genius, and the hours spent in such occupations will be so much loss to the gin- palace and the pot-house, and So much gain to the interests of society and the social happiness of the people." >

CRUELTY AND IMPUDENCE. Michael Hagan, of King Edward-street, Mile-end- road,was charged at Worship-street Police-court, at the instance of Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royal Socieby for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, under these circumstances:— Sinclair, one of the society's constables, said This morning I was passing along Thomas-street, Bethnal- green, when my attention was attracted by the evi- dent lameness of a brown-mare in the shafts of a cart laden with' brick and material the animal was also shivering about the neck. Feeling certain that, a wound was there, I stopped it, and made an examina- tion. There was a large raw sore near the shoulder, and a lump near that; altogether, it was totally unfit for any work. I asked him whose horse it was, and he told me he was the owner. He was, driving the animal at the time, and when I took him into custody he said that by right he should have been cautioned before he was stopped in that way; he also asked me to let him go, promising that if I did so he would work the beast no more. Mr. Ellison What have you to say to this P Defendant: Why, I gave X4 for the horse a month ago; it's at the door, go and look at it if you like, and if it's unfit for work, as he says it is, you can have it killed if you like; that's all I can say. The Magistrate immediately left the bench, and on returning remarked—I have seen the horse, and must say I have scarcely ever looked upon a worse sight; independent of the sore on the shoulder there is a large swelling, upon which I could not put my finger without manifestly occasioning inte:ase: pain. I need not speak of its lameness and its clearly used-up con- dition. Before I examined this horse I proposed, upon the constable's evidence, fining you 20s.; but now/ seeing its deplorable state, I shall fine you 40s., or m default, an imprisonment of three weeks. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Defendant could not or would not pay the amount, and was locked up in the cells.

Mr. B. Hubbell writes to the London papers, stating that the grand jury, at the Central Criminal Court, ignored the bill preferred against him far- falsifying a registry. Mr. Hubbell considers it oaly ^ht that the leading journals which chronic]^ his COk».mittaI should also acknowledge his acquittal.

f MIDNIGHT MEETINGS. ? Another of these periodical gatherings was held on -n :Thursdai evening last at the Victoria Hall, Friar- street, B"lackfriar's-road.: Acting up to its established rule, the Midnight Meeting Society chooses a different part of London for each meeting, and on Thursday had secured the assistance of Mr. William Carter, a master chimney-sweep, of gome celebrity as an ener- getic preacher in the,theatres and other unconven- tional'places of worship. With Mr. Carter were a small band of friends, amongst whom were an ex- prizefighter, an ex-burglar, an ex-street-conjuror, and others, who were all stated to be tried men and true in the important work he has at ,heart. We saw but very few of .the gentlemen who were at St. James'- hall, and it would seem that the society had availed itself of the machinery and local influence ready to their hands, and that they had for the night amalga- mated with Mr. Carter, on the understanding that he and his friends should do their utmost to rouse the fallen women present to a sense of sin, while the society provided means of escape to those influenced by their pleadings. The proceedings commenced by a short practical address from Mr. Carter, during which therewerehere andtherewhlspermgs andfurtive smiles, but these were not evoked by a spirit of mockery but were rather slight efforts at relaxation during unwonted tension, and were indeed little more than %ould be perceptible during a close scruttay of the congregation of any fashionable church. The women, who were nearly all young, were far better representatives of the district we were in than were' those assembled at St. James's-hallof the locality, Aout it. Thecoinmon harlot of the lowflMighbourhoods and by-places of London, *he young girl whose shabby clothes" seem shabbier from being picked out with a little cheap finery, who is half-work-girl half-prostitute, and whose earnings at both callings are miserably small, was here. Common gaudy beads, hair nets of vivid hues, bonnets decorated with the cheap,- coarse" flowers we see on fire-screens, and shawls and. dresses that a servant of all work would despise, in many instances made up ner attire. On the other hand, there were very few painted cheeks, and,1 though the red and gloveless hands frequently bore paltry rings, they had on them traces of work, as if their owners knew the hardships, without tasting the so-called luxuries of vice. During the process of the meal, the various leaders were distributed amongst the girls, some sitting with them at the tables, others strolling about the room—a spacious, lofty, and well-lit one, fitted up its a* chapel with roomy galleries, but the ground-floor of which alone was occupied—throwing in a timely word or interchanging a pleasant greeting as occasion allowed. The perfect familiarity with which the most solemn mysteries were spoken of struck curiously on an un- accustomed ear. The speakers were obviously earnest and sincere, but their jubilations on the spiritual CDn flicts out of which they had come victorious, the QahA business way in which their own regeneration was spoken of as an accomplished fact, and their constant use of Biblical symbols in ordinary conversation, made their talk peculiar and exceptional. There was NO cant. Every one was cheerful almost to conviviality. The sentiment, "Look at me, see how happy I am; why won't you be happy to ? ran like an undercurrent through all the tea-table discussions. After ample time had. been allowed for conversation and refreshment, Mr. Stabb, the honorary secretary, offered up a simple and effective prayer, after which a hymn was given out. "William Carter's Gospel Hymn Book," and a thick pamphlet on the results of theatre-preaching, had been freely distributed in the room, and the women stood up in orderly fashion, such of them as were not able to read being especially particular in having the place found for them, and in joining lustily in the chorus as announced from the .,platforip. Daring the singing a considerable disturbance was occasioned by a low fellow, whp claimed to be pro- prietor of one of the unfortunate women, the mark of his ownership being stamped on her face by a black eye and a bandage. Quiet being at length restored by. his forcible ejectment, and her voluntary (or fear- induced) withdrawal, Mr. Carter commenced his address, in which he forcibly appealed to the sympa- thies and instincts of his audience. They were assured of welcome, spiritual and temporal, if they would but accept it, and many an eye was wet, and many a face troubled as he drew with powerful hand, and in the strongest possible colours, the terrors of perdition and the imminent dangers of hell. It would be easy to criticise both the .tasteand, doctrine of this preacher, but it accords more with our present purpose to dwell upon the effect of his denunciations and appeals. Surrounded by men of his own class, who, in every variety of working dress1 -shirt-sleeves, blue jersey, and fustian jacket-knelt devoutly round him and hung upon his words, it was "impossible to doubt the stirring effect of his ministra- tions. It was a common nature speaking earnestly to the common natures around it, and in the faces and demeanourof the girlsimight be read how strongly, if transiently, some of them are moved. None of them, left the hall without a printed invitation to call in Bed Lion-square, and it may be fairly concluded that the meeting of Thursday will result in several young women being trained arid put out to domestic service. It would be impossible to find men better calculated to speak familiarly to and with such prostitutes as we saw assembled than Mr.* Carter and his adherents.

VICTIMISING A POSTMISTRESS. The special correspondent of the Morning Post' writes from Dublin as follows:— Some cases of successful imposition practised upon unsuspecting persons by sharpers pretending to be officers of justice, or otherwise in authority, have re- cently appeared in the English newspapers; but the following clever and (except to the parties victimised) amusing rusd probably rivals any of them. The post- mistress of Cuff's Grange,.?! village near Kilkenny, was startled a few days ago by a visit from a pompous, showily-dressed gentleman, who announced himself as an inspector from the General Post-office, specially sent down to investigate her accounts, &c. Having first expressed some disapprobation of the arrange- ments of her office, he proceeded' to make a minute ex- amination of the books; but, in the course of the scrutiny, to the,great delight of the postmistress, the stern expression faded from the official countenance, and at its close he complimented her highly on the neatness and accuracy of her records, and wrote in the daily ledger a most complimentary report, re- commending her an increased salary. Delighted with this gratifying result of the, dreaded inspection, the postmistress invited her supposed official- su- perior to luncheon—an invitation which was most condescendingly accepted. After doing justice to the repast, the inspector" prepared to leave, but, pre- tending to recollect that he had seen in the lettet-box a registered money letter enclosing .£5, directed to a constable at the neighbouring police station, he re- marked that its speedy delivery would doubtless be very acceptable, and kindly offered to take it himself to the barrack. The postmistress, not daring to dis- obey such a potent per.3onage, gave him the letter, and he proceeded straight towards the police barrack, but it is hardly necessary to say that he never delivered it, and nothing has since, been heard of him or it. In a couple of days afterwards, the postmistress saw the person to whom the letter was addressed? and con- gratulated him on receiving such an acceptable New Year's gift. An explanation ensued; the authorities of the General Post-office were communicated with, and disavowed all knowledge of the soi-disant inspec- tor; and the duped postmistress is liable to a prose- cution for knowingly delivering the letter to a person not entitled to receive it.

A Soldier Killed by a Kick from a Horse. —An inquest has been heldat Manchester on the body of Thomas Smith, a private in thè.,14th Hussars, aged nineteen, who died from the effects of a kick received from a horse. The deceased had been on furlough from Aldershot, and had come on a visit to his father in this city. On Saturday morning his father was saddling a horse' for his use, whep the animal reared its hind legs and kicked the young man in the stomach. The deceased walked home and retired to bed shortly after, but he died from the effect of his injuries on Sunday Bight. The deceased was quite sober at the time of the occurrence, and had not been annoy- ing the horse. A verdict of Accidental Death was returned.

THE IMPRISONMENT OF A WIFE FOB TWO YEARS. At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, upon Baron Bramwell taking his seat, Edmund Hammond, who pleaded guilty at the November sittings upon » charge of having imprisoned his wife, and otherwise ill-used her, was brought up for judgment. J Mr. Sleigh appeared upon the part of the prosecu- tion, and Mr. Oppenheim was for the defendant. Mr. Sleigh briefly informed hi3 lordship of the cir- cumstances under which the defendant had pleaded guilty—it was by an arrangement of counsel. Mr. Baron Bramwell said that the arrangement had < been made for the accommodation of counsel. Mr. Sleigh said that since then the defendant had made ah arrangement to settle upon his wife ba.lf of her own property and also a deed of separation. Mr. Baron Bramwell: Settle on her her own property? j Mr. Sleigh: Half her own property; and answering a question of the solicitor to the prosecution, not any of his own property. Mr. Oppenheim, upon behalf of the defendant, urged upon his lordship that Mr. Hammond had pleaded guilty under the advice of counsel, and he urged upon the Court that affidavits might be put in which would, tend to mitigate the charge which had been made against him, and tend to show that a great deal of what had been given in evidence was untrue, and other parts might'be explained.. The Defendant, who had been out on bail, then sur" rendered and werft Sato the dock, and Mr. Baron Bramwell said f Prisoner at the bar, you have pleaded guilty to a charge against you of great enormity and of great rarity in this country. You shut up your wife for two years, and it is most suprising that she should have submitted to it. You have made some atonement, but not half enough. You should have given her back all her own property, and also some of your own, and have begged her pardon for the cruelties which you have used towards her; but even then the outrage to society would not have been answered, and a public example must be made of such conduct, to show other men that wives cannot be treated with impunity and used in this cruel manner,, and therefore I shall sentence you to be kept to hard labour for one year.

A. PUBLICALTS LIABILITY FOR CARD PLAYING. Mr. Vincent Lambert Pascoe, landlord of the Old Fountain public-house, in Baldwin-street, City-road, appeared at the Worship-street Police-court, in which he was charged with having unlawfully permitted card-playing in his house, and it was shown that Inspector Maskell, G division, had found, about ten o'clock at night, twelve men and- two women taking refreshment in the public parlour of the house. Four of them were playing at cards. Defendant followed- the inspector into the room, and on the latter calling attention to the fact in question, he replied that he was well aware of it; but not any gambling was going on to the best of his knowledge; it was simply a game for amusement. The parties continued playing, and the inspector left. Defendant, in reply to the magistrate, said he did not in any respect deny the truthfulness of the evi- dence given, but that did not prove the commission of any offencei The certificate obtained from the licensing magistrates contained no instructions as to what particular games were unlawful. Ic ran thus:— "And do not knowingly suffer any unlawful games or ..gaming whatever." Siitties -were allowed, and that too for drink. Chess, cards, draughts, bagatelle, and cards were not even mentioned. The four persons alluded to by the inspector were enjoying a hand at cribbage, and if the magistrate could point out ought in the certificate that restricted him (defendant) from permitting it, he should willingly express his thanks for the information. The magistrate examined the certificate and then asked Inspector Maskellwhether-he knew that money or money's worth was being played for? The inspector admitted that he knew not, that plenty of liquor was on the table, but not any money. The magistrate then remarked that assuredly there was an absence in the clause of the certificate of any particular game interdicted; there was no proof of gambling in this instance, and he could not convict. Defendant thanked his worship, and assured him it was a matter of much moment to publicans generally. .—

Sanitary Fair Incident in California.-A poor little boy brought a white chicken to the fair, which was all he had to offer, saying it might make some broth for a poor sick soldier. He had decked his little offering with ribbons ofred, white, and blue; but as he had no money to pay the admittance fee, when he came to the door he was rejected. As he went down the street, some gentleman, seeing his distress, listened to his story, gave him a ticket, and sept him in. The simplicity ef the donor-and the beauty of the offering attracted attention, and the chicken was put up at auction and sold to the highest bidder for 460 dols. ingóld, Jor the benefit of the sanitary commission.—Letter from Marys jille, Cal. A Singular Libel Case.—An aetion for libel, 1 brought under singular: circumstances, has been tried 'in Dublin before the Master in the Court of Common Pleas and a special jury. The defendant had allowed judgment to go by. default, and (the only question was as to the amount of damages that should be given. The plaintiff was a niece of the defendant, who, it appeared, had reoeived some application from the .plaintiff on behalf of her family, and, in reply, wrote a letter to her, which was the subject of the action. It contained imputations of a gross kind upon the- character of the applicant and her family. Damages were laid at .21,000. Witnesses were examined in .support of the plaintiff's case. Defendant's counsel produced no witness, but addressed the court in miti- gation of damages. The jury ultimately found a verdict for £ 60 damages, and 6d. costs. 1.\ The Italian Polizzioni, who is charged with the murder of a man named Harrington, on Saffron-hill, Was brought up at the Clerkehwell Police-court on Wednesday. Several witnesses were called for the defence-^—their evidence being to the effect that the prisoner was not the man who stabbed Harrington. Polizzioni was, however, committed for trial. General Garibaldi has, it is asserted, accepted an invitation to Liverpool, and will become the guest of Mr. J. R. Jeffery, in the course of the ensuing spring; and there can be no doubt that the reception accorded to him will be such as to deepen and strengthen the impression which he has formed of the hospitality of Englishmen.
