Iron the London Tivies, July 2.
Fuithcr correspondence has been had upon
the subject of the collision between the United
states corvette Oneida and the steamsnip Bom
hay. In a letter addressed by the Peninsular
and Oriental Steam Navigation Company
to the Board of Trade, dated the 18th
of "May, the director's refer to the board's
condemnation of Captain Eyre's conduct
after the collision, and observe that it
appears that in the opinion of the Board of
Trade "the sentence of six months' suspension,
eo far from being too severe, is too lenient a
punishment for the offense which he has com
mitted;'1 while Captain Eyre himself is told that
he was "guilty of a gross breach of the thirty
third section of the Merchant Shipping act of
1802;" that this enactment "simply embodies
the dictates of humanity," and that in disobey
ing it he has "been guilty not only of an offense
created by statute, but of disregard of the natu
ral duties which circumstances of danger 6uch
as that of the Oneida imposed on him.
The company say: "It would thus appear to
have been decided by the Board of ' Trade that
ibe important qualifications embodied in the
clause of the act referred to do not tend to ex
onerate Captoin Eyre, that the fact that 'he was
placed in a position of great difficulty and
doubt, which was recognized by the Court at
Kanagawa, is not admitted, but that, on the
other hand, it is assumed that he knew at the
critical timet that the Oneida was
in danger,' that ho also knew
that he could render assistance without
danger to his own ship and crew,' and passen
gers, and that it was 'practicable' to render
Bnch assistance. From all these conclusions the
directors must respectfully but emphatically
express their entire dissent."
They B&te that Captain Eyre has prepared a
detailed statement in his defense, in which they
hope the Board of Trade may yet find ground
for a modification of their opinions. On the
21st of May Captain Eyre addressed to the
Board of Trade a statement, commenting at
some length upon the evidence given before the
Naval Court at Yokohama, objecting to the
conclusion 3 drawn by the Board of Trade, and
challenging further investigation and the fullest
inquiry into the case. He maintains that neither
he nor any one on board the Bombay
thought, or bad reason to think that life was in
clanger; he says that the Oneida did not stop,
but held on her course straight away from the
Bombay, with a strong wind and tide, and that
by the lime he had ascertained the condition of
bis own ship, the attempt to come up with the
Oneida, eo as to make inquiry and offer assist
ance, would have been fruitless; aud he states
that he watched for fifteen minutes, and saw
no f-ienal or light of any kind. The Board of
Trade rej ly in a letter of the 2d of June, in
which they Bay: "If it could have been shown,
in a case of such importance, that the evidence
hid not been fully or fairly taken by the Naval
Court, or that facts subsequently brought to
light materially aitectea tne uearing ot tne evi
dence taken by the court, the Board Trade
wcTra no aoubt have endeavored to do substan
tial justice in the matter; and they would cer
tainly, in such a case, not have expressed an
opinion of their own without giving full con
sideration to the facts thus brought to light.
But it appears distinctly, both from your first
memorial ana irom your present tetter, mat
this is not the case. In neither of these have
you alleged or intimated that there are any new
facts in the case, and the grounds on which
you now rely for further inquiry consist merely
of extracts from evidence whloh was presented
to the Court at xokonama, ana commented on
by your advisor before that court passed their
sentence. This evidence was also fully con
sidered by the Board of Trade before they came
to the conclusion expressed ln'their letter of the
25th of April. Under these circumstances the
Board of Trade see no reason either to depart
from that conclusion or to suppose that it could
be modified by any further investigation, and
they must, therefore, decline to reopen the
ase.
DENTAL ETHICS.
Expulsion of a member the Chicago Dental
Society for Advertising-It la Profitable bat
literal.
A special meeting of the Chicago Dental
Society was held last evening at the dental
depot of 8. S. White, in State street.
The special object of the meeting was the
consideration ot charges preterrea against Dr,
J. Ward Ellis, for violation of certain sections
of the code of ethics having reference to the
subject of advertising.
RESOLUTION OF EXPULSION.
Dr. A. E. Brown, without any preliminary
action, offered the following resolution:
Whereas, The charges which were preferred against
J. Ward Kills, a member of this society, for a viola
tion ot us coae oi einica, navmg oeen sustained by
the evidence, as well as by said Kills' own profession,
that he did knowingly aud wilfully violate said code
at ethics: and
Whereas, Said Ellis has persistently and falsely
charged this society, both in private and through
public advertisements, with having instituted these
proceedings against him only because he had re
duced hla tees ; therefore'
Jteeolved, That inasmuch as no power exists under
our constitution ana Dy-iaws wnereny a member
could be even censured ior a reduction ot nui fees,
and as said Kills was perfectly aware of this fact.
this society not only disclaims tne motives which
have been imputed to it by said Ellis, but character
ices his conduct as unprofessional and dishonorable
In the extreme, and hereby expels said J. Ward
Ellis from the Chicago Dental Cociety, not because
be has reduced his fees, but simply because he has
violated, la the grossest manner, the society's
organio law.
The secretary then read the minutes of the
proceedings in the case, from which it appeared
that r. Ellis had advertised a reduction of rates
in a German paper. In pursuance of action
taken in this matter, a committee of three was
appointed to take the charges under considera
tion. The committee, at a subsequent meeting,
reported that they found defendant guilty of a
violation ci article a oi tne coae oi etaics
reading as follows:
"It Is unprofessional to resort to public advertise
ments, cards, handbills, posters, or signs calling at
tention to peculiar styles of work, lowness of price,
special modes of operating, or to claim superiority
over neighboring practitioners, to puulish reports of
casts or certificates in the public prints, to go from
house to honse to solicit or perform operations, to
circulate or recommend nostrums, or to perform any
other similar jets."
Dr. Ellis havlmr been called upon to make a
defense, remarked that he was willing to be
candid, as it was probably the last time he
. would address the society, and admit that be had
reduced his fees from war to peace rates,' and
advertised the same in the daily papers, and
lie could say that nothing had eyer been, bq pro
fitable to him. Codes of ethics were instituted
by old fogies, with- fossilized ideas of propriety,
and their object was to keep the young mem of
the profession under the thumbs of the old
ones, and that any of the former, who should
infringe them by advertising, should be put
down.
In the course of his remarks, Dr. Ellis heaped
considerable ridicule on the society, and defied
them in the most pronounced manner, saying
that he would violate the code of ethics again
and again. In his eyes the Dental Association
was simply a mutual admiration society, la
conclusion, he thanked the members for the
reputation they had given him, for his practice
had doubled, and, instead of crushing him, as
they had intended to, they were putting money
into his pocket, and for every $10 paid to news
papers for advertising $100 had been returned to
him.
Dr. Cushlng remarked that if one listened to
Dr. Ellis it would seem that the society and not
the doctor was on trial. Yet- such was not the
case. For one he was in favor of a code of
Laws, and believed in uoholdinff it. Dr. Ellis
did not deny that he had violated the code, and,
what was more, threatened to do so again;
therefore he was In favor of expulsion, not on
Individual grounds, but the gooa ot the society.
Dr. Ellis claimed that he had the support of the
public. Such he thought could not be the case
unless the public was deceived in the matter
which mieht be so. as Dr. Ellis had left nothing
undone to put the matter in a false light.
I he yeas ana nays were men caned on the
resolution, and the vote resulted In unanimous
expulsion. Chicago Tribune, July 12.
IRISH BIGOTRY.
Pnrtlrulars ol the New Vork Riot Con I r it die.
lory Afcounta l;onceraln the Number Hilled.
The New York Post of last evening says:
A conductor of an Eighth avenue car. who
was in the hottest of the fight, said that he had
seen on car 54 one dead and eight wounded per
sons, and on car 92 two dead. He was told that
one dead went down on car 01. At 7 o'clock
last night he saw a wagon going to Elm Park,
which the driver said was to bring away seven
dead men. Items of this sort have a significance
in a case where there has been a riot, and
either side wishes to conceal the number of
casualties.
The policeman stationed at One Hundredth
street saw a carriage driven down with a wasron
tied behind, in which were two dead bodies
covered by blankets.
The police are confident that there were be
tween two thousand and three thousand shots
fired. Said one: "It was nothing but crack,
crack, crack regular artillery practice." The
boulevara where the men were at wort was the
Grand Boulevard, an extension of Seventh
avenue from Fifty-ninth street to One Hundred
and Tenth. There were probably four hundred
men at work there.
The police of the Thirty-first precinct say
that simultaneous with the arrival of the pro
cession at Fifty-ninth street, there came there a
gang of longshoremen, who persuaded the rest
to go to the park.
John Johnson, a f eman, was brought to Belle-
vue this morning.having been found by the police
at mo. 14 MuiDerry street, suitering trom
severe wounds on the head. When he arrived
at the hospital he was almost a maniac from the
effects of drink, and it required the efforts of
several men to hold bim while his wounds were
drested. For a while af.erwards he was quiet,
but as he attempted to tear off the bandages he
was put into a strait jacket, lhe wounded are
distributed through Wards 7, 5, 10, 17, and 16.
THE WOUNDS.
Most of the wounds are on the head, 'lhe
greater part of the injured present a shocking
appearance, having evidently sustained their
injuries from paving stones Many of them are
in such a critical condition as to be unable either
to see or speak.
Besides those at present at the hospital, there
are many others. Nearly a dozen were taken
there last night Buttering trom slight wounds,
and left for their homes after having their
wounds dressed. Many others who were
wounded were taken home by their friends, and
of these the police have no record.
lhe women and children who were brutally
stoned In the cars by the rioters were removed
to their homes, where they were attended by
surgeons, and the police have no record of their
names.
THE 31'COOLE SHOQTISG CASE.
Mr. McCoole Shot In hla own "Saloon"-lie
tteiusea 10 reii who uia it. ,
About half-past 11 o'clock last night, says the
St. Louis Democrat of Tuesday, the report ot a
pistol was heard in McCoole'e saloon, on Fifth
street, ana an instant aiter a man reeiea trom
the door, and falling down the steps, was caught
in the arms of some of the people passing. ; He
said be had been shot, and as he was bleeding
profusely from a wound over the left eye, he
was promptly taken to Alexander's drug store,
where the clerk was aroused and proceeded to
dress his wonnd.
Between fright and intoxication, the man was
perfectly unnerved, and nothing could be ascer
tained from him except that his name was John

but struck with some heavy weapon on the left
eyebrow, in which w"as' found" a triangular cut
nearly an inch in length.- The curiosity of the
spectators was aroused, and most of them re
turned to the saloon, In the rear of which they
found McCoole sitting with his left shirt-sleeve
rolled up, while Dr. Jones was probing a pistol
wound in the left lorearm near the elbow.
The curiosity of the crowd lnceased, as they
knew Mafflt had no pastol and could not have
wounded McCoole. They aecordingly crowded
around the giant, and eagerly listened while he
was questioned by the the policemen and re
porters repsent.
Mike, however, declined to give any explana
tion of the affair, and soon after arose, took a
drink, and started for the doctor's office to have
the ball extracted.
THE LATE LOUD CLARENDON.
Despatch from Secretary Flah Cauae of
UW1U,
Prom the London Daily tiewt, July 8.
On bearing of Lord Clarendon's death, Mr.
Fish sent to Mr. Motley the following telegram:
"Washington, June 27 The death of the
Earl of Clardendon removes a statesman whose
fame belongs to the world, and whose loss will
be felt by other nations man mat in whose be
half he labored for the advance of civilization
and in the interests of peace. The Presldeut
tenders the sympathy of the people of the
United States to her Majesty and to the British
people, ana condolence to those to whom the
loss brings personal grief."
The Lancet says the immediate cause of his
Lordship's death was diarrhoea, which continued
lor several days be lore ho was seen by his usual
attendant. Dr. Baber. His Lordship could not
be prevailed upon to give up his otllcial duties,
insomuch that when, on the evening of Satur
day, the 25th ult.. Dr. C. J. B. Williams was
summoned in consultation, he was found,
though very weak, still sitting up in bed,
with several despatch boxes before him. At
4 P. M. on Sunday the treatment had
proved so beaeflcial that Dr. Gull, who then
joined In consultation, entertained good hopes

"DR." BRENNAN AGAIN.
A Philadelphia Ranral To roe Up In Syracuse,
New York.
Several months ago one Paul Brennan, who
took the liberty of prefixing the title of Doctor
to his name, came to this city and took quarters
at one of our leading hotels, and announced
himself in flaming handbills and advertisements
competent to cure all the ills which flesh is heir
to. It is said that he dnped a good many peo
ple, and procured considerable money: and after
some three months' sojourn here, during which
time some reports not creditable to the charac
ter of a high-minded physician were
circulated, he removed to Rochester and
held forth for a time. Recently he re
turned to this city, and since his
advent here his pathway seems to have been
bestrewn with thorns. A case will be tried In
the police court which will bring to light new
and interesting developments. A morning con
temporary relates something of the troubles into
which a certain propensity has led him, and to
day he called on us and asked the privilege of
making a general denial through tho columns of
the Journal ot the rumor m circulation in regard
to him. This favor being denied him, he re
quested that nothing should be said by us of his
disgraceful conduct with scrubbing women at the
Syracuse liouse, or ot his still more disreputable
acts on board Conductor Kudd's train yesterday,
between this city ana nome, where tor insulting
a lady passenger he was violently taken to the
smoking car, where there were no ladies. We
will therefore omit any reference to these seve
ral affairs till after the hearing before the court,
which, we assure Dr. Paul Brennan, we have no
desire to prejudice. He promises to vindicate
himself "from all the aspersions brought against
a gentleman and high-minded physician," and
to that court we confide him without farther
comment. Syracuse Journal, July 12.

FROM EUROPE.
The Spanish Oueatton.
London, July 14 A. M. The feeling
throughout Europe is still one of general uneasi
ness. The tone of the official papers of France
is eminently pacific, but the other journals are
hostile and warlike.
The want of confidence at the exchanges of
the various European capitals is a fair index of
the public sentiment. Many rumors are in cir
culation, but it is impossible to trace them. The
following despatches and details are collected
from all sources and made public here to-day:
The French Allnlatry Not Kealsned.
Paris, July 14. The Journal du Soir contra
dicts the report circulated yesterday of the re
signation of the ministry.
Diplomatic Movements.
The French military attache at the Court of
Vienna, who Is now here, has received orders to
return Immediately to his post.
Baron Bourgoln, Secretary to the French
Ambasf ador, also returns to Vienna.
The rumor of the resignation of the French
ministry is continued, though generally dis
credited. France Not Satlnded Even if Ilohenzollern
v iinurani,
The majority of the public journals and public
opinion are opposed to accepting the despatch
of the father of Frince Ilohenzollern to the
Spanish Government as a final settlement of the
question between France and Spain. Most of
the journals assert that the ministers went so
far in their declaration that peace without a
direct acknowledgment on the part of Prussia
would be more to the shame than to the success
of France.
The Moniteur, Pays, Opinion, National, and
Publique are bitter against the ministry.
The Peace Settled.
The official journals, however, announce the
peace as settled.
Receiptor theNewaln the Corna Lraialatlf.
Last evening the Duke de Gramont, Minis
ter of Foreign A ffalrs, announced to the Senate
and Corps Leglslatlf that the French Ambassa
dor to Spain had unofficially made known the
renunciation by Prince Ilohenzollern of tho
Spanish Crown.
The negotiations which have been progressing
with Prussia, the Duke said, have had no other
object, but they have not yet terminated, so It
is impossible to-day to furnish the Chambers
and the country with a general expose of affairs,
The Senate received this statement coldly.
The Duke then asked the Senate to postpone the
discussion of the interpeDation until Saturday
next, because Friday had been 6et apart for dis
cussion in the Corps Leglslatlf. The Senate
immediately protested, but on the request of
M. Rouher, the proposition was assented to, and
the Senate will meet an hour earlier on that day,
in order to have more time for the discussion.
The Feellna? In France Against Prussia.
London, July 14 Rumors that Emile Olli-
vler and two of his colleagues in the French
ministry contemplate, resigning, are circulating
here, but they are regarded as doubtful.
Paris, July 14. The ' Presse thinks that the
settlement of the question is precarious and
dangerous to France, in simply enabling Prussia
to choose a better opportunity.
La Liberie demands a general congress on the
war.
The Journal des Debate says that the Prus
sian reply to France is Insufficient.
London, July 14. The Telegraph this morn
ing says that, though the Prince of Ilohenzol
lern renounces the candidature and the King of
Prussia indorses that renunciation, still it is too
early to believe in peace. The formal
reply of Prussia to that effect Is the only thing
that will restore confidence. The only response
thus far has been haughty and offensive in the
extreme, which was doubtless designed to be
firm and dignified. A statement is made to-day
that Espartero denies having ever urged Prim
in favor of Alfonso In preference to Leopold.
Brussels, July 148 A. M. The French
Emperor is dissatisfied with the mere withdrawal
of ilohenzollern, and persists in the demand
that Prussia shall formally disavow the candi
dature. The King of Prussia firmly refuses,
allcglng'kthat to accede to this would only pro
duce more extravagant demands from France.
Prussia Calm and Resolute.
London, July 141 P. M. The cables to the
Continent are still being much crowded by
Government despatches, and the press reports
are considerably delayed. The following im
portant telegrams from Germany have just been
received:
Berlin, July 14 10 A. M.-The disposition
of the people of Prussia seems to be calm,
seripus, and resolute to fight for the national
honor. The national journals regard the situa
tion as very disquieting. The Borsen Zeltung
says that war Is sure because France wants it.
The Dorsen Courrier says that the French pre
tensions are a direct insult to Prussia aud to
King Williaat, and war is Inevitable.
Illahly Importaat-The Kln of Pruaala Re.
lusealo Receive tho French Ambassador. -
Ems, Nassau, July 14th. The French Am
bassador to-day demanded an audience of the
King of Prussia to exact that Ilohenzollerns
renunciation be made perpetual and that the
Royal veto be applied to any fresh approach to
the Prince on the subject of the Spanish Crown.
The King declined to receive the Ambassador
and answered him through an aid de camp that
he had no further communication to make.
HOME.
The Infallibility lloama Carried.
Rome, July 14. The Papal infallibility dogma
was carried in the (Ecumenical Council yester
day by a vote ofI4o0 to 88. Sixty-two, according
to other reports sixty-six, of the fathers voted

Cape Island, July 14. The weather is de
lightful, with a cooling breeze from the south
west. The Island presents a Fourth-of-July

lanterns, in all their gorgeous colors, are being
displayed for the reception of the 7th to-night.
The Stockton last night was compelled to turn
away guests, and Colonel Duffy, the proprietor,
this morning put up four hundred cots in the
spacious parlors. Nothing is talk ad about ex
cept the gorgeous display which Is to take place
to-morrow.

GENERALITIES.
Mr. Dlckene'lSobrlety.
Very 6illy are the bold assertions made in pul
pits of Mr. Dickens' constantly continued dissi
pation. The great writer left $400,000 every
farthing of it earned by hard and almost daily
literary toil. When do these critical and cleri
cal gentleman suppose that men of letters do
their work? Such slanders refute themselves.
When clergymen have the dyspepsia they can
preach old sermons or ''go to Europe," with all
their expenses paid by their affectionate flocks;
but the work of a literary life is never done
until the doer has sunk to rest himself in his
grave. The world makes enormous demands
upon popular writers, and then wonders that
they sometimes seek relaxation of the kind
which is most agreeable to them. It may be,
often Is, bad for them, but they are entitled to a
chaiitable judgment 1
Donation Tlslta.
We read with a feeling of the deepest sym
pathy that a clergyman In Illinois recently re
ceived, at a "donation visit," the enormous
number of 973 eggs 81 dozen! What can he
do with themr Boiling, frying, roasting,
poaching,scrambllng,omclettes, egg-sauce, pud
ding and cake may be resorted to, but the
capacities of the clergyman's family for eating
are probably limited. Now, our idea for the
disposition of this ovine mass would be for the
reverend man to put himself and all his family
into feather integuments and hatch out as many
as possible, lie might do his share of the work
while writing his sermons. Chickens bollod.
broiled, fricaseed, roasted, in a pie would
afford a change of diet. But 973 eggs la one
family 1 it must be discouraging.
A Plena Forgery.
The Boston Courier drives a satisfactory nail
into a pi&us forgery, and leaves it on the counter
to be mocked at by all men. This forrerypmr-
ports vo De a tetter iroin me late .Mr. Daniel
Webster expressive of his intense admiration of
Sunday-schools, which Is just now going the
rounds of the "religious" newspapers. It ap-
Ecars that Mr. George T. Curtis pricked this
ladder long ago, and showed by internal evi
dence, drawn irom me episue itself, that Mr.
Webster could not have written it. Amonir
other things, the great orator is represented as
saying that "all Hardened criminals ' became so
through their "abandonment of Sunday-schools,"
which is an absurd piece of Chadbandlacism.
We wonder what good the person who got up
this letter thought that he was doing? Mr.
Webster was fond of talking In a religious
strain, but he never wrote flabbily-feeble letters.

extent on acceptable collaterals, but the discount
market is rather more quiet, the offerings of
really good commercial paper being rather
below the average. Rates are firm at last quo
tations, i .
Gold is very active and unsettled again in con
sequence of unfavorable despatches from Europe.
