There are some curious things connected with Court etiquette.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FBIDAY. inere was little business of general interest to be transacted, although the statements made by Lord Mounteagle with reference to the subject of record of title in Ireland, and by Lord Cross on the subject of Indian Councils, were not without importaikes. Earl Beauchamp gave notice of his intention to on Tuesday what steps the Government proposed M take in the Upper House with reference to the report of the Special Commissioners, and after one or two bills had been advanced a stage the House ad- journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FBIDAY. The Home Secretary, in reply to Mr. Bryn Roberts, who called attention to the atatementa of Judge Chalmers, of Birmingham, and Judge Sey- mour, as to the prevalence of perjury in County Courts, said he was not prepared to introduce leg isla- tion on the subject. The law already provided ade- quate punishment for perjury, ranging from im- prisonment to seven years' penal servitude. Questioned by Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Stanhope said he was inolined to think that the publication in a current American magazine of an article on the standing army of Great Britain by Lord Wolseley was an infraction of the Queen's Regulations. He was quite sure that it was far from Lord Wolse- ley's intention to violate any rule om the subject, and such a case was not likely to recur. Replying to questions by Mr. Howard Vincent and Mr. Bradlaugh as to the immigraticn of destitute aliens, Sir M. Hicks Beach said the Government felt the importance of the whole question, and were making the necessary arrangements to carry out, as far as possible, the recommendations of the Select Committee. Mr. W. H. Smith, in answer to questions, said the Government had not con- sidered the question whether they would take any steps in regard to the report of the Special Commission after the decision of the House upon the resolution, of which he had given notice. He intimated that he should not propose the resolution until Monday, March 3rd, the earlier date being inconvenient to lion, members below the gangway. The debate on Mr. Stansfeld's amendment to the Address regretting that there was no mention in it of the establishment of district and parochial councils was resumed. In the course of the dis- cussion Mr. Ritchie said he fully realised the necessity for district councils, and the Government would be perfectly willing, even now, to extend their programme for the se sion, to introduce a bill completing the scheme of local government if only they could rely upon the assistance and co-opet ation of the Opposition. The ameudmeut having been negatived by 254: to 181 votes. Mr. C. T. D. Acland proposed a further amendment regretting that free education was not amongst the proposals of the Government. .—

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY. Earl Beauchamp announced his intention to post- pone until this day week the question, of which he had given notice, with reference to the Report of the Special Commission. The Public Trustee Bill and the Trust Companies Bill were each read a second time, and referred to the General Committee on Law; and the Crown Office Bill having passed through Committee the House adjourned. I HOUSE OF COMMONS.-MoNDAY. New writs were ordered for Stamford Division, Mr. J. C. Lawrence having been appointed a judge; and for North St. Pancras, Mr. Cochrane Baillie having been called to the House of Lords as Lord Lamington. The Home Secretary, in reply to Mr. Fenwick, said that before taking any action in reference to the explosion at the Moasfield Colliery, Longton, he must have the report of the counsel representing the Htnn Office at the inquest. Mr. Jackson informed Mr. Henniker Heaton that to reduce the selling price of half-penny postcards to a halfpenny each would involve a loss ot revenue of X61,000 per annum. Mr. Evans took the oath and his seat for Mid Glamorgan, in in place of Mr. G. Talbot, deceased. Mr. Morley, on behalf of Mr. Gladstone, gave notice that the latter would move an amendment to the motion which the First Lord of the Treasury would propose on Monday next with reference to the report of the Special Commission. Mr. W. H. Smith gave notice that in the event of the debate on the Address concluding that night,he would on Tuesday move for facilities for the consideration of Supply. Having obtained the necessary leave, Mr. Sexton moved the adjournment of the house, in order to call at- tention to the conduct of the Irish Executive in endeavouring to prevent the provision of shelter for the evicted tenants of Clongorey, thereby endanger- ing the public peace and the lives of homeless families. Mr. Balfour replied to Mr. Sexton's strictures, and expressed the hope that the House would see that in voting for the adjournment they would be voting in favour of the law being defied with impunity, where it was backed up by a power- ful conspiracy, and would be striking the greatest conceivable blow at the prosperity of Ireland. The discussion was continued by Sir C. Russell, the Attorney-General, Mr. Clancy, and Mr. Gill, and on division the motion was rejected by 196 to 164. The debate on the Address was resumed by Mr. Alfred Thomas, who moved an amendment in favour of the creation of a separate department of State for the conduct of distinctly Welsh affairs; but, after a somewhat prolonged discussion, he withdrew it. Mr. Cunninghams Graham next moved his amend- ment respecting the International Labour Con- ference. This was rejected on a division, 198 to i1 votes, and the Address was then agreed to.

HOUSE OF LORDS. -TuxaDAir. There was but one subject of general interest dis- cussed, and that waa introduced by the Earl of Harrowby, who asked what steps the Government proposed to take to replace the sum of about £700,000 per annum lost to the county councils by the abandonment of the van and wheel and horse taxes. Lord Craubrook, who replied, contended that the Government hud. made no specific promises as to the amouut of the grant in aid of local taxation or the source from which it was to be derived. In any case, he said, however desirable it might be that the sum now paid should be increased, the additional means must be obtained not from direct Imperial taxation, but from local sources. The Marquis of Ripon and other speakers condemned the reply of Viscount Craubrook as wholly unsatisfactory, and contended that it was the duty of the Government to devise the means by which the deficiency caused by the abandonment of their proposals might be mads up- The House however adjourned without any definite suggestion being made. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. Sir G. l'ievelyitu gave notice of his intention to move a resolution III favour of the House rising at the beginning of July, and declaring that the time ivqui ed for the transaction of public business should II>} provided by Parliament sitting during a longer period in the winter. The Home Secretary informed Mr. Howard Vincent that the question of police superannuation was still under the consideration of the Government. in reply to Mr. Broadhurst, :Sir J. Fergusson said the Government had expressed their willinguess* to take part in the labour ntufereuce proposed by the German Emperor. The Chancellor of the Exchequer informed Mr. Bcutley that he was waiting to introduce the Trustee Saviugs Bunk Bill until an authoritativo judicial opiuiou was given in a case now pending in relation to the liability of trustees. The right hon. gentleman, in answer to Mr. Norton, said he had not heard of any Government bill giving the Bank of England, or any other bank, the privilege of issuing one pound banknotes. Mr. W. II. Smith, replying to Mr. C. Graham, said as the hon. member had a motion relating to the eight houra question on the paper for March 18th, and as there was a bill on the same subject down for March 16th, he could not under- take to give any further facilities for the discussion. In answer to Mr. E. Hardcastle, Mr. W. H. Smith said that no persons, whether British sub- jects or otherwise, can at present obtain the fran- chise within the South African Republic unless they make a declaration of allegiance to it, which involves to a considerable extent the renuncia- tion within the Republic of their natural rights and obligations as subjects of the Queen. Mr. Smith afterwards proposed the resolution of which he had given notice setting apart that night and Friday next for the consideration of Supply. After a brief discussion, the motion was adopted by 229 to 131. The House then went into Committee of Supply on sums required to be voted for the service of tho year ending March next, in addition to the sums already provided in the Estimates. Sir J. Lubbock brought iu a bill to amend the Public Libraries Act. Mr. Chaplaiu brought in a bill con- icning further powers under the .Contagious Dis- eases Animal Act with respect to pleuro-pueumouia.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Further questions were asked by the Irish men:bo with reference to the Ciongorei- evictions, and M, lialfour replied to the effect that he had no reason to believe that the police had in any way acted illegally. Mr. Labouchere gave notice of his intention, on the discussion of the vote of credit, to call attention to "gloss public scandals in matters relating to the administration of justice in England." Mr. Foley then moved the second read- ing of the Poor-law Guardians (Ireland) Bill, which he said was substantially the same as a bill which had passed through the House of Commons in former years, and which had on one occasion passed the House of Lords. Their lordships, however, made an alteration in the bill, which necessitated its being sent back to the House of Commons, and which thus prevented its passage into law. The bill proposed the subsititatiou of voting by ballot for open voting, the abolition of proxy voting, and the reduction of the number of ex-officio guardians to one-third of the elected guardians. Colonel Waring .oved the rejection of the bill; but, in response to the appeal of the Irish members, Mr. Balfour said he was prepared to assent to the second reading of the bill, but would do his utmost to resist those pro- visions which would diminish the proportion of ex- jfficio guardians who now had the right to attend meetings of the Boards. After some further dis- suasion the second reading of the bill was agreed to without a division. The discussion of the motion for the second reading of the Intoxicating Liquors (Ireland) (Hours of Sale) Bill was proceeding when the half-past five rule came into operation and (topped the debate.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THunDAY. The Partnership Bill, the object of which is, among other thingf, to define not only the relations between I partners themselves, but also the legal relations between partners and persons dealing with them, was I read a second time, and referred to the standing com- mittee on law. I HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THuRsDAY. u I I rlaron Henry de Worms moved the second reading of the Bill which proposes to sanction a separate and responsible Government to Western Australia. Th» Bill was read a second time and referred to a select committee. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach moved the second reading of the Companies (Winding-up) Bill, the object of which is to extend to the Companies Act of 1867 the jurisdiction "f th, County Courts, and to assimilate the law of procedure to that which prevails in bankruptcy, so that the managers of companies in winding up pre. ceedinRS miky be subject to public examination. After a debate, the Bill was referred to the Standing Com- mittee on Trade. The Secretary for War. in com- mittee of the whole House, introduced a Bill embody- ing the Government scheme for the impiovement of barracks and the concentration of the troops, the cost of the adaptation of Aiderfibot t.) this purpose alone being estimated at £ 1 500 000. Mr Stinhope stated that, in addition, improvemei t<> w..re nfcessary at Shorncliffe, Colchester, Portun'-u'h, and Plymouth, but that the cost of tl ese (u.ht. to bf provided for out of the annual esti na es. The tota' estimated expenditure for iin pre vemen, contemplated at all the military stations at home and abroad is £ 4,100,000. ———

f.Zot!ro oil t!t\uø. I ACCORDING to the Lyon Medical, the enquiry made by tho Administration, iu order to carry out tI e I I'w law giving certuin advautuges to fathers of more I )..La sewn children, has shown that in France at ipie.-eut theie are 2,000,000 households in whirh liieie has been no child 2,500,000 in which there one; 2,300,000, two children; 1,500,000, ilnce about 1,000,000, fcur 550,000, live 3wD,000, six and 200,000, seven or more. TJIEBB were shown at the meeting of the Royal Botauiu Society, a number of dried specimens from Mi xico, amongst which were several specimens oi by groinetic club moss. It was stated that .these piauta had the power ascribed to the well-known lose of Jeiicho, of rolling themselves upJike a ball when dry, and becoming apparently dead but they were able to unfold and grow again when exposed to moisture. The specimens shown had been kept for three months in a dry place, but were now green, and to all appearance flourishing. LORD CLIFTON-SO called in right of his father the Earl of Darnley's barony of Clifton, county Meath, aud of his English barony of the same title—has been lodged in Canterbury gaol for contempt of com t. The Earl is utterly without sympathy for his sou's anti-vaccination and other tendencies. By his grandmother, who was a daughter of Sir Henry Parnell, Lord Clifton has a remote connection with the Irish leader. The grand old house Cobham Hall, near Gravesend, to which Lord Clifton is heir, together with very large estates in the richest part of lielund, came into the family about 180 years ago through the Stewarts, having been granted by J ames I. to James Stewart, first Duke of Richmond, after the attainder of Lord Cobham for his conce: n in Raleigh's conspiracy. AN almost unprecedented scene was recently witnessed at the church of St. Enstache, Paria, where a thousand chairs, a small organ, eight; pictures, four great chandeliers, twenty four candelabra, &c., were seized by the legal authorities in default of payment of fifteen thousand franca damages, awarded to M. Vally, a working carpenter, who was most seriously injured some time baok, when passing the church, by the accidental fall of a piece of masonry from the building. This execution has raised the question as to the legality of distraining on Church goods. The vestry of St. Eustache have opposed the sale, on the plea that Church property cannot be legally seized. The case I' will be heard early in March, —• THE movement among the life insurance ofifces to rescind the rule making the medical examination of applicants for life insurance compulsory has naturally excited a good deal of comment in medical circles. The lucrative and comfortable appointments of the medical ofifcers to the com- panies in question are great prizes and humanely speaking, it is only in accordance with the ntneaa of things that there should be some protest agliinst the proposed change urged by those who are most, immediately ooncerned. After all, however, if the j companies carry out their intention in this regard they will only be reverting to tha order of proce- dure which used to prevail about fifty years ago. There is a great deal to be said in favour of the change, and it is quite possible for the oompanies to safeguard their interests without resorting to; medical certificates. At all events this seems to be the opinion which is held by those who are aompe- \1 tent to judge. THE travelling publio, whether of the first class or of the third class, hue a special interest in the proa- pcrity of the Midland Railway Company. It hu: been the pioneer in a number of reforms for tho greater comfort of railway travailing, and where 16' has led the way the other great companies have btleu i obliged to follow. The ohairman intimated at the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders that! experiments are now being made with the electrio light for the lighting of the carriages, two trains between London and Manchester having already beeu litted with the new light. An improvement in this direction haa long been called for, and it ia to be hoped that the Midland Company will find the experiment they are now making sufficiently en- coutaging to lead to its more general adoption. In that case the travelling publio will owe the company itd gratitude for one more substantial boon. I THE German Emperor has of late repeatedly in- vited Dr. Schulze, head master of the French; High School at Berlin, to the Palace, a fact which has erroneously given rise to the rumour that his Majesty contemplates sending his two eldest sons to that achool. There is reason to believe that the invitations in question, like the simultaneous ones to Dr. Gussefeldt and other eminent pedagogues, are connected with another important reform contemplated by the Emperor, which will aim at a thorough reorganisation of education in Prussia. His Majesty's main idea is to improve the method at present in vogue in Prussian teaching, which. is too neglectful of the physical system of pupi. I and coucerns itself too much with useless know- ledge. For this tha Emperor dcairea to see SUb-¡ Istituted a complete and harmonious training oi I I the body as well 88 of mental and spiritual pOwe18. A curious story comes from the East of the voyage of a Turkish warahip from Conatantinop? to Japan, ccnveyiug to the Mikado a decoration from the Sul- tan. It is now over nine months since the Erzegroul, as the vessel is called, left the Bosphorous. She haa broken down three or four times—once in the Suez Canal—and she has been delayed in every port she entered for want of funds. She was delayed at Aden for weeks, and at Colombo for months. At last she I got aa far as Singapore, but the voyage so far having been unexpectedly long, her ammunition had given out, and she was unable to fire the .usual salute to the port. Accordingly the Governor gave orders that, an explanation having beea given of this diaoourtesy, she was not to be treated aa a mAu-of- war, and the port dQes were demanded but tho captain had no money for the purpose,' aud waa equally unable to purchase the necessary coals to enable the vessel to proceed to Japan. He had when the last mail left been some months in Singapore, waiting for remittances from Constan- tinople, which either never came or did not come in sufficient time. THE feud between the farmers and the hunting men still rages and if we may trust the caleula- tions of one vLo looks at the matter from the farmers' point of view, it is not likely to cease till there is some radical improvement in the preboufc system. According to this authority ten men do live pounds' worth of injury to fences alone in a single day's hunting. This would mean that two' hundred men inflict a fine of £200 on the farmers for every run during the season. If this is any where near the truth the irritation is explained. Accord-I ing to lhe jF?M, the root of evil lies in the lack among riders to hounds of that knowledge of agd-I culture which would enable them to choose their hue. Plenty of hunting men cannot, we are assured, tell seeds nheu they see them. In the choice of fences much injury might be avoided if the average ¡ fielder new something about the making of hedged. As it 18, men are constantly seen directing their horses at a newly-made bank, which crumbles away I under tho horses' feet. In the same manner gaps are often irreparable owing to the weakness of the I whole fence. When the organ of the county gentle- nitn confesses so much as this, it is clear that hunt. ltlg men must mend their ways. WHAT promises to be one of the most interesting exhibitions of the year will be opened in London next month. Its title, the Stanley aud Afrioan Ex- hibition, is already well kuown, but the arrange- ments for its completion have only recently been entered upon. The King of the Belgians will pro- bably become .patron Mr. Stanley himself wi.l be vice-patron and there is a large and representative committee. The missionary societies which labour ™ Afnoa, will be represented by several exhibits. lhe Auti-Slavery Society sends slave-sticks and chains taken from freed slaves. There will be a I gallery Jof portraits of African explorers. Colonel, Grant seuds relics of his famous trip I across the Continent. The relatives of Dr. ljivizigstoue are sending several mementoes of the greatest of African missionaries. Sir Henry Peak is placiug his magnificent collection at the dis- posal of the committee. These are but few, however, 01 tho many hands which are working together to ensure the success of the Stanley and African Ex- hibition. The Victoria Gallery is to contain the finest collection of African exhibits that has ever been gathered together. There will be couutless maps and model*, and diagrams; and most of us will come away from the exhibition with an increased knowledge and interest in African affairs.

I A Reuter's telegram from Copenhagen reports that Professor Cirl Bloch, the eminent Danish paiuter, died on Saturday night, at the age of 56.
