LONDON GOSSIP. It is by no means unusual to see Royal ladies in Sfiliiary uniform on the continent. The Emperess f'Ugene, it is true, was an exception to what may almost *5? said to be the rule abroad but the widow of the fttiperor Frederick (our Princess Royal) was accustomed p1 attend reviews in the uniform of her regiment and, 5^fore her marriage, nothing became the Duchess of rdinburgh better than her smart Lancer tunic and {Jeimet. Ill her young days the Queen was a perfect horsewoman and rode oftener than she drove. The Senate of the University of London has approved further revised scheme for its reconstruction, which will ?8ect a radical change in the character of the L< niversity.. ft concedes to the teaching colleges nearly all that has ^een asked. It gives these institutions representation on the Senate", an intermediate recognition as constituent College-; in all the faculties, and the power of giving pass egre'J", to students in arts and science under thE tegis of he University on examination conducted jointly by the allege professors and another examiner appointed by the University. In the medical part of the scheme there are ahse other radical changes, for the examination in strictly Pfefessional subjects will be conducted by a joint board of ?*aminers appointed by the Royal Colleges. One other ^purtant point is that the London Medical Schools, including that for women, are to be constituent colleges 111 the faculty of medicine. t It is a little curious that it is in some of the largest where the proportion of public houses to the popu- lation is smallest. In Manchester the proportion is i>'2 r thnusand of the it, Bristol 4*0, Sheffield 4*4, ^"■iningham 4% Liverpool 3'7, Leeds 2'ti, Middlesbrough Southport onlv have a proportion of 1'8 each, while t). some of the small and ancient boroughs of the king- Oni, the proportion reaches its highest. In the county f Huntingdon the proportion is 8'4 per thousand of the population. It ougnt to be remembered, however, that a restriction of facilities does not in experience in all cases a lower proportion of drunkenness. It is some- tittie.s thy reverse. A great feature of dinner table decoration at present, }* olu" silver and gold plate. We owe the idea to Mrs ~"reen, who said it was a shame thai men should have iheir tine old plate put away and never admired. Lady yUdlev, when the Princess of Wales and her daughters dined "with her a few evenings ago, had on ner table Passive antique silver bowls and goblets tilled with roses of every possible shade, beautifully blended and arranged, aud mingled only with their own foliage, shaded from green to brown. A dinner given by Lady de Trajlord jast week created quite a sensation by re ison of the beauty of the gold plate on the table. The flowers used ^ere pink roses and white orchids.

Mr W. U. Davies, solicitor, Dolgelley, Mvo has for several years held the office of Steward of the *Jafior, presided and twenty-four jurors, the foreman being b' It. P. Jones, of Llanerch, were sworn. Then the constables the eleven townships within the manor presented the &ituex of homagers, and others who owed suit and service. fhe majority attended, others sent excuses with the ^stomary nne of one penny, and three who neglected to do either were amerced in the sum of sixpence each. On those Oeeksions the Town Clerk, Mr David Lloyd of Minllyn, galled on absentee in the following form Mr A.L. Mr —Gome forth to make vour suit. Air A.I>. Come forth ;? »ave your tine, MrA.B." And if no answer was given, absentee was amerced. The .next business was amercing who had encroached on any common lands within tiie 'latlor, and several were ordered to pay sums varying from 0,)e penny to lialf-a-crown. It is customary for those who intend the Court Leet as well as the tenants of Sir Edmund ijuckley, to have a substantial dinner after the Court is held. l't this time it was dinner tirst and business Afterwards. And about fifty sat down to a Dlendid dinner catered by Mr and MH: Lovegrove the Buckley Arms Hotel. Among the guests was Mr William ^Ucklev. The dinner was all that coaId be desired; and *fter the cloth had been removed the health of the Queen proposed by Mr W. K. Daves, and heartily responded t°. The same gentleman in succession proposed the hea^h of the Prince of Wales and Sir Edmund Buckley, Lord of the vj-anor of Mawddwy. The toasts were well received, aud Mr L Buckley returned thanks on behalf of Sir Edmund. I he fesalth of the Steward of the Manor was proposed oy Mr \Y fuckley, and Mr Davies replied. Then Mr John Lvans, i>herangell, proposed the health of Mr and Mrs Lovegrove, caterers of the feast, which was drunk enthusiastically, Mr Lovegrove responded. The majority adjourned 0 another room to open the Court Leet.

Jfrom the papers. The cholera epidemic is said to be spreading in the Spanish provinces. ThA Homan Catholic Bishop of Leeds (Dr Cornthwaite) died on Monday morning in the seventy-third year of his a?e. On Sunday, at Cleveland, in America. 200 persons were l,recl'y,itat- (I Iinto a ravine, through the collapse of a bridge. Many of the victims were senously injured, and fatal results are feared in ten cases. The marriage of Professor Stuart, M.P., and Miss C. 'hnan, will take place at Northwich on the 16th of July. The Government intend next Session to propose the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the operation of the Licensing Laws, and into the general question of Compensation. A younp Roumanian lady, Mdle. Sarcisca Bilcesco,who has been attending the lectures of the Paris Ecole de Droit for the past six years, has been admitted to the depree of doctor of laws. She is the first lady who has achieved this distinction. At West Hartlepool Mortuary on Thursday the attend- ant who was laying out the body of a supposed youth di-covered it to be that of a female who, under the name of Hans Brandt, had shipped as apprentice on board the barque Ida, of Pensacola. She was killed by a fall into 'the hold. Edward Thomas Watts, a clerk in the head office of the Prudential Insurance Company, was drowned on Thursday whilst bathing at Benson-on-Thames, where he was spending a holiday. A bargeman jumped in to his rescue, but being somewhat exhausted through having run some distance, and also being hampered by his clothes, he was unable to save the drowning man. The deceased was eighteen years of age, and resided at St. John's Wood. J Her Royal Highness the Duchess of 1> lfe was delivered of a stillborn male child on Monday evening, at Sheen House, Richmond, the dukes Surrey residence. A press representative was requested by the Duke last evening to state that the'Duchess had been seriously ill, but was now going on favourably. The Duchess last Wednesday was quite well, and attended a meet of the four-in-hand Club in Hyde Park, where, however, she got a severe wetting. Up to a few days ago it was intended that Her Royal Highness should be at Ascot this week. Constant inquiries as to her Royal Highness's condition have been received from the Queen and other members of the Royal Familv. The parish of Llanefydd, near Denbigh, was the scene on Thursday of a disturbance in connection with the collection of arrears of tithes by Mr Stevens, of London, agent of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Mr Stevens was personally escorted by eight emergency men, some of whom rode in a brake, while the remainder were on horseback. Neither police nor officials of the Anti-Tithe League were present. Scouts were posted on the hills, who gave notice of the approach of the party by blowing horns and.beating pans. The result was that a large crowd gathered, and at the fourth farm visited, Mr Stevens and his men were greeted with a shower of stones and brickbats. Mr Stevens and his bodyguard retreated quickly to their brake, and galloped away in the direction of Denbigh, the crowd pursuing them with volleys of stones along the highway. It is understood that Mr Stevens will not return to the district unless protected by an ample force cf police or military. Mr Gilbert Dalziel appeared at Bow-street Police- court on Monday to answer two summonses—first, for publishing in a weekly periodical a proposal and scheme for"the sale of chances in a lottery for a thousand pounds; and, secondly, for selling a share of a chance in a lottery for this amount. After argument on the legal points involved, Sir John Bridge decided that the scheme under discussion was a lottery. He fined the defendant a shilling on each summons, but added that the offence was not a nominal one, though the circumstances of the case justified g nominal penalty. At the Westminster Police-Court, on Monday, Charles A. Kelly, who was in the Salvation Army uniform, was charged with obstructing the public footpath and annoy- ing the inhabitants of a street in Chelsea. The offence having been proved, Mr Sheil said it had been decided over and over ogain that the Salvation Army had no right to obstruct the public highway. The-defendant, he added, had broken the law wilfully and deliberately, and the nuisance must be stopped if possible. The full penalty of forty shillings was imposed. A singular action, arising out of the faAal collision at Armagh, in which the liability of railway companies is sought to be prvshed to an extreme limit, came before Mr •Justice O'BI^TI and Mr Justice Johnson in the Queen's Bench Divis? ,n, Dublin, on Saturday, upon a motion on behalf of the defendants, the Great Northern Railway Company, for liberty to plend and demur. The plain- tiff, an infant girl named Walker, was not boin at the time of that occurrence, but her mother, being enoantc, was a passtenger by the illf&ted trair., and received a I severe shock. The collision occurred in June, 18i">&, and the plaintiff was born in December following, and it is alleged that the effect of the accident to her mother was to cause the plaintiff, who sues by her father, to be born a cripple. The court granted liberty to plead and demur, directiEg that the demurrer should be disposed of in the first instance, the costs to be costs in the cause. An extraordinary scene was enacted in the Birmingham Police Court on Saturday. A notorious character named James Farmer, who has suffered long terms of imprison- inent for assaults on the police, and who, when last year before the court, threw a boot at the head of the officer who gave evidence against him, was sentenced to two month's imprisonment for an assault on a female. He no sooner heard the sentence than, with an imprecation, he leapt from the dock on to the solicitor's table and kicked at the officer who arrested him. He t<hen turned to the magistrate, and was making for the bench when half a dozen policemen seized him, threw him. down, and removed him to the cells, Judge Bristows, Q.C., who was shot at and danger- ously wounded at the Nottingham Railway Station last November by a German dentist, named Arnernann, whom he had non-suited in the Nottingham County Court, took his seat on Saturday at Newark County Court for the first time since its occurrence. The Rev R. B. Lander, Congregational minister of the Adelphi Chapel, Kackney-road, London, on Saturday obtained a decree nisi on a petition for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery. The case was a peculiar one. On medical advice the parties agreed to live apart, and it was under such circumstances that the misbehaviour occurred, several children being born. Miss Mary L. G. McGaw, whose death at the early age of 23 has just been announced, is the eldest daughter of the Rev G. T. McGaw, for many years minister of the Sale Presbyterian Church, and now general Secretary of the Presbvterian body. Miss McGaw was well known in Sale and Manchester as a zealous and successful worker in connection with the Prison Gate Mission and other agencies for raising the fallen. Her incessant labours overtaxed her strercgth and brought on "brain fag" and melancholia. She was placed by the advice of an eminent London physician under the care of an experienced iiiirse at Brixton-hili four weeks ago. She improved in health so much that the nurse allowed her to go out alone. On the 7th inst., she went to leave an order at a shop and never returned. Her body was found in the Thames a few days afterwards. Thus ended a young life which had been devoted with its wealth of gifts and graces to the help of humanity. The circular of .June 4th, issued by the Science and Art Department, which includes all scholars in public elernenentary schodls from obtaining grants for science teaching, has caused consternation among all those inter- ested in advancement of elementary and of technical education. Its effect, unless it be withdrawn, will be to cripple, and perhaps to close many of the higher element- ary Board Schools, while the managers of voluntary schools can evade its provisions. Remonstrances and pro- tests are pouring in upon the Department from all sides, and the National Education Association has prepared a memorandum which will be issued immediately. No time should be lost in causing such representations to be made as will induce the Science and Art Department to withdraw or entirely recast a circular which, whatever its intention, must have the effect of injuring education, and introducing an unfair discrimination against Board School- During a storm at Faikenberg, in Germany, on Mon- day, a girls' school was struck by lightning. The girls were in class at the time, and one of them was killed on the spot. Three others were knocked down and rendered insensible, but they have since recovered. News was'received at Holyhead at ten o'clock on Mon- day morning that a large ship had gone ashore between Rhoscohvyn and Rhosneiger. The liteboat and life-saving apparatus were at once sent to the spot. A dense fog prevailed. The vessel proved to be the barque Herniinie, from Peru to Liverpool with sugar. She went on the rocks at Pert Diana, Rhoscohvyn, during the fog. The crew safely reached shore, but the latest report states that the vessel will become a total wreck. Sixteen pigeons flew from Sunderland to Sermonde, in Belgium, on Sunday, going a distance of 480 miles in eight and a half hours, averaging more than 5G miles per hour. The death is announced of an Aberdonian Croesus in South America. His name was Andrew Penny, but he made his colossal fortune in silver. He was the pro- prietor of large silver mines in Bolivia. Two years ago lie purchased the estate of Park, Aberdeenshire, fcr £ 47,000, and was just on the point of starting home to end his days in peace, and enjoy his immense fortune. when he died. The German dentist, Hermann Arnemann, who was sentenced recently to 20 years' penal servitude for shoot- ing Judge Bristowe at Nottingham, was found dead in a cell at Leicester Gaol one morning this week having hanged himself to the ventilator by means of his braces. He had served nearly$nine months of his sentence, and had appeared cheerful. The occurrence is rendered doubly singular by the fact that:that day was the first occasion'on which Judge Bristowe has resumed his county- court duties at Nottingham since his attack. By seventy-five against fifty-eight, Congregatiop yesterday decided to promulgate the statute admitting women to the examination for the degree of Bachelor of Medicine. The statute will have to come before the House of Convocation before finally becoming the statute of the University. The Exchequer teturns from April 1 to June 14 how- Receipts, £ 17,82S,239 expenditure, £ 62,510,230 and balances, £ 4,(.57,952. In the corresponding period of last year the receipts amounted to £ 17,366,790; expenditure, £ 16,971,610 and balances, £ 4,205,017. Zinc and Spelter are following the boom in copper, i having advanced £ 3 a ton during the past fortnight—from 241, to 271. delivered in Birmingham. Spelter has risen about 30s. The advance in both zinc and copper has largely increased the cost of brass, whilst the enhanced value of spelter is seriously checking the recent improve- ment in the galvanising industry, large orders for galvanised sheets having been withdrawn. The rise in spelter is attributable to the operations of a Belgian syndicate, who are gambling in this metal.

Imperial parliament. HOUSf; OF LORDS. THURSDAY. The Industrial Schools Bill, the Reformatory Schools Bill and the Youthful Offenders Bill was real a third time. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY. Mr W. H. Smith, in answer to Mr Gladstone, said he was not in a position to make any statement as to the business of the House. In reply to Mr Sexton, he said he could give any information as to the intentions of the Government with reference to the Land Purchase Bill. Mr Healey asked leave to move the adjournment of the House, to discuss the conduct of the Government in not communicating to the House their intentions as to the course of business. The Speaker refused to put the motion. Mr Smith said he hoped to be able to make a statement on Monday. The Home secretary, in answer to questions, stated that Mr Monro, the Chief Commissioner of Police, had resigned because of differences with himself on question of administra- tion and legislation affecting the police. The Home Secretary introduced the Police Superannuation Bill. The Local Taxation Bill was proceeded with in Committee, and the debate was resumed on Mr A. Axland's Amendment proposing to apply three hundred and tifty thousand pounds, not to the extinction of licences, but to agricultural, com- mercial, and technical instruction. An animated discussion was carried on till midnight, when the debate was further adjourned on the motion of Air Caiiie. HOUSE OF LORDS, FraDAY. The Working Classes Dwellings Bill was read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on law. HOUSE OF COMMONS, FRIDAY. The Home Secretary read Mr '-Nloiiro's:letter of resignation. It stated that the views he had entertained as to the justice I and reasonableness of the claims of the Metropolitan Police in connection with Superannuation being diametrically opposed to those of the Secretary of State on vital points, he could not accept the Bill as adequately meeting such claims. He therefore thought it right to place his resignation in the hands of the Secretary of State. Mr Matthews went on to explain that, looking to Mr Monro's views as to Superannua- tion, he had accepted his resignation. He proposd to appoint Chief Constable Howard Mr Monro's nominee, as Colonel Pearson's successor in the office of Assistant Commissioner. I The debate of Mr A. Acland's Amendment devoting the £ 330,000 to technical education which was applied by the Local Taxation Bill to the extinction of licences was resumed by Mr Caine, who asserted that the Bill would break up the Unionist Party. Mr Gladstone condemned the Bill as a Publichouse Endowment Bill, and as paralysing the power of the licencing authority to reduce the nmnber oflicences. He was replied toby the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr Hitchie moved the Closure shortly before midnight, which was carried by 279 to 238. The Amendment was defeated by 275 to 243. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY. Lord Camperdown moved that, in the forthcoming Census information should be obtained as to the religious per- suasion of the inhabitants of England, Wales, and Scotland. The motion was opposed by Lord Salisbury and Lord Gran- ville, on the ground that a Bill was about to be introduced into Parliament on the subject, and it was accordingly with- drawn. HOUSE OF COMMONS, MONDAY. In answer to questions relating to the practice of the police in shadowing persons in Ireland, Mr Balfour said there was no desire on the part of the Government to make the practice more disagreeable than was necessary. He desired as far as possible, to limit this method of dealing with crime. The use of the term crime gave rise to a scene of great excitement among the Irish members, in the course of which Mr Dillon, among other things, called out to Mr Balfour, If there is bloodshed it is on your head," and he idiguantly demanded that the Chief Secretary should apologise for accusing his constituents of crime which was no crime. Mr Gill shouted that Mr Balfour was lying, and the scene was only brought to an end by the Speaker appealing to the House to proceed in an orderly manner. Later on Mr Dillon apologised for his discourtesy to the chair. On the Local Taxation Bill being resumed in Committee, Mr Ritchie proposed the postponement of Clauses 2, 3, and 4, which related respectively to Scotland, Ireland and Police Superannuation, that the Committee might proceed with Clause 5, which referred to the extinction of licences in Eng- land. Mr Caine immediately moved to report progress, and a long and excited discussion ensued, in which the Opposition urged the Government to withdraw the Bill until the Com- mittee which had been announced at the meeting of Liberal Unionists had reported. Ultimately the Closure was moved and carried Mr Caine's Motion was rejected by 245 to 206, and the Bill was proceeded with in Committee. Several Amendments were negatived, and the Committee was adiourned to this day. HOUSE OF LORDS TUESDAY. The Earl of Morley brought up the Report of the Com- mittee of Privileges on the place and precedence of the Bake of Clarence in the House. The Committee reported that his iloyal Highness ranked after the Duke of Connaught and be- fore the Duke of Albany. HOUSE OF COMMONS, TUESDAY. Mr W. H. Smith, replying to Jlr Caine, stated that it must not be assumed that the Government had the intention as- cribed to them of appointing a committee to consMler the question of compensation to p1\¡lkans. Mr W. H. Smith further said that the Government had considered the best procedure, having regard to the state of public business, and they desired to propose a Stitiiilivg Order for suspending public Bills of great complexity which could not be completed during the Session, and carrying them forward to the following Session of the same Parliament. He would ask the House to carry forward to next Session the Land Purchase Bill but he would proceed this session with the Local Taxation Bill, the Tithes Bill, the Police Superannuation Bill, the Western Australian Bill, the Indian Councils Bill, and several others. He would move the new Rule on ïiIonrlay. Mr Lahouckere obtained leave to move the adjournment of the House to discuss the serious state of public business caused by the mismanagement of the Government. After several acrimonious Opposition speeches, the Motion was rejected by 233 to 181. Several Amendments were disposed of in Committee on the first Clause of the Local Taxation Bill. Towards the close of the proceedings, Mr Storey, acting on an allegation made during the discussion by Mr Winterbotham, moved that the votes of Sir H. M. Beach and W. Long .should be disallowed, as they were interested in the liquor traffic. Mr Courtney held that the motion was out of order, and, after explanations from the gentlemen.-referred to, Mr Storey and Mr Winter- botham withdrew their allegations, and apologised.

MONTGOMERYSHIRE AND THE WELSH EDUCATION ACT. The joint education committee for the 'County of Mont- gomery issued the report of their recent meeting, in which (in reply to enquires) they state that they contemplate lixing schools in the chief centres of population in the county, so that each school may fix a certain district round it The committee suggest that the general government of the schools should be vested in a central school committee, appointed on similar principles to the present joint com- mittee, with the addition of representatives from each local county school committee, or otherwise so constituted as to give adequate representation to all classes and interests. The local management should be entrusted to school com- mittees in each locality. Express provision should be made for women being members. Assuming that each of the six larger towns, viz., Llanfair, Llanfyllin, Llanidloes, Machyn- lleth, Newtown, and Welshpool, should decide on co- operating with the committee in establishing schools in those centres or some of them, the committee have prepared for consideration an estimate of the staff required for a complete system of schools on the basis of an attendance of 1 per cent. of the population and one teacher (including travelling teachers) to every 22 or 23 children.

WELSH INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION The following is a copy of the Bill brought in by Sir H. Vivian, Mr Stuart Rendel, Mr Warmingtoa, and Mr Arthur Williams, to amend the Welsh Intermediate Education Act. 1XS9. Whereas doubts have arisen whether the county council of a countv can nominate persons other than members of their own body to be members of the joint education committee of such cotiiiti- and whereas it is expedient to remove such doubts, and also to amend the said Act in other particulars be it therefore enacted by the Queen's most Mxcellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows :— 1. The county council of a county may nominate persons other than members of their own body to be members of the 1.

All the powers given by section two of this Act to the council of a borough may be exercised by any local authority as defined by the Public Health Act, 1875, either alone or in conjunction with any other local authority or authorities, but such powers shall be exercised in accordance with the pro- visions of the Public Health Act, 1875, and any Act or Acts amending the same. 4. No rate or rates levied by the council of a borough or by a local authority for the purposes of this Act shall exceed one halfpenny in the pound per annum. 5.
