SUMMARY OF PASSING EVENTS. THE Queen, while enjoying the calm, domestic re- tirement of Osborne, has been pained and startled by a telegram that will inspire every right-thinking man throughout the civilised world with shame, horror, and indignation. The Earl of Belmore has telegraphed from Sydney, by way of Galle, to the Duke of Buckingham, the Colonial Secretary, that, on the 12th of March, while his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was honouring with his presence a public pic-nic given in aid of the Sailors' Home at Clontarf, Nidle Harbour, Port Jackson, he was shot through the back by a man avowing himself a Fenian. The ball entered the back about an inch from the spine, struck the ninth rib, followed round the course thereof, and lodged in the front of the chest, after traversing a dis- tance of over twelve inches. It was fortunately extracted without much difficulty, on the 14th, by Drs. Watson and Young, of her Majesty's ships Challenger and Galatea, and by the latest in- telligence, dated March 21st, the Prince was doing well. Commodore Lambert, however, in accordance with the report of a medical board, has wisely ordered his Royal Highness to return to England, where he may be expected towards the latter end of May. The assassin, on being seized by the bystanders, fired a second shot, which lodged in the foot of a gentleman named Thorne, who also was doing well after the removal of the ball. O'Farell, for that appears to be the name of the guilty wretch, was at once arraigned before the Supreme Court, on the charge of shooting with intent to kill," but a plea of insanity was raised in his defence. It is sincerely to be hoped that this plea can be justified by the facts of the case. ON Wednesday afternoon the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Lord Mayo, visited the College of Surgeons, Dublin, and wrote his name in the visitors' book. A little later his Royal Highness proceeded by the Midland Great Western Railway to Maynooth College, where he was welcomed by the students with vociferous cheering. From the college the Prince, ac- companied by the Duke of Leinster, drove to Carton, his grace's beautiful residence, and returned to Dublin by road, in time to dine with Lord Strathnairn, at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham. Owing to the inclemency of the weather and the fatigue of Tuesday's employ- ments, the Princess did not venture out until near mid- night, when their Royal Highnesses proceeded in State to the grand civic ball given at the Exhibition Palace. There were 4,000 persons present, nor did the Royal party take their departure until past three in the morn- ing-the Prince, we are told, showing an example of genial freedom by casting aside the restraints of rank, and plunging into the brilliant eddies of the waltz with the gay concourse which thronged the space without the barrier." ON Thursday the Royal and viceregal party pro- ceeded to Bray by railway, notwithstanding a heavy down-pour of rain, and there received a congratulatory address presented by Lord Meath, as chairman of t)1e Town Commissioners. The sun then opportunely bursting through the clouds, their Royal Highnesses and the distinguished personages by whom they were ac- companied, drove in seven open carriages to Powers- court, where they partook of lunch, and visited the Dargle Waterfall, which, says the Times' correspondent, presented a very imposing spectacle as its peat-stained waters leaped down from rock to rock of its rugged bed, or glided like a thin sheet of silver over the smoother portions of its three hundred feet descent, its roar making more remarkable the solemn silence of the horse- shoe dell into which it tumbles its troubled stream." It was nearly eight o'clock before the Royal party drove through the gates of Dublin Castle, where five hundred guests sat down to the farewell dinner. FRIDAY was the last day of toil and pleasure. The Prince visited the National Gallery and the College of Physicians, and looked in at a flower-show in the Ro- tundo as did also the Princess. Their Royal High- nesses subsequently visited the Mater Misericordim Hos- pital, where they were received by Cardinal Cullen. They then proceeded to the Constabulary Depot, in the Phcenix-park, where the Prince inspected the men, and afterwards to the Adelaide Hospital. To each of the hospitals visited on this day the Princess presented a copy of the Queen's Book." Between seven and eight p.m. the Prince and Princess, accompanied by the Lord- Lieutenant, the Marchioness of Abercorn, Lord Straith- nairn, and the Irish Lord Chancellor, left Dublin for Kingstown, and embarked on board the Royal yacht. The fleet saluted, and at night was illuminated with coloured lamps. STEAMING out of Kingstown Harbour about five a.m. on Saturday, the Royal travellers reached Holyhead a little after eight, where they breakfasted, and then proceeded by rail to Carnarvon. Here their Royal Highnesses wit- nessed the opening of the Carnarvon Water Works, and afterwards went over the Castle, in the State rooms of which a banquet awaited them. Towards evening Tren- tham-hall was reached, the seat of the Duke of Suther- land, where they remained in peace and privacy during the following Sunday. THE House of Lords has scarcely yet recovered from the Easter recess. On Thursday,'indeed, some symptoms of vitality appeared, in consequence of a characteristic speech from Lord Derby, on his return to public life, in opposition to Mr. Gladstone's Compulsory Church Rates Abolition Bill. The second reading was, however, allowed to pass, with the understanding that the bill was to be referred to a Select Committee. THE House of Commons has shown itself almost equally indisposed for the despatch of business. The great, and, indeed, the only event of last week was Mr. Hunt's financial statement made on the 23rd April. There is, as everybody knows, a deficit, owing partly to increased expenditure during the last two years -in arming the troops with breech-loaders, in casting guns to mount on the sea-side fortifications, and in restoring the navy to a comparative state of efficiency-but chiefly due to the Abyssinian expedition. It is estimated that the cost of this campaign up to the end of 1867 will be defrayed by the two millions voted in November, and that an additional sum of three millions will cover all charges to the end of May, when, it is hoped, Sir Robert Napier and his little army will be once more at Zoulla. To provide this considerable sum the Chancellor of the ? Exchequer proposes to raise the income-tax to sixpence in the pound, and to issue one million of Exchequer Bonds, to be paid off in twelve months, from the re- ceipts of the new impost. THE trial of President Johnson is fast drawing to a close. So far as we can judge from the imperfect reperts of the proceedings that have yet reached this country, his impeachment has been instituted upon such very insufficient grounds, that an honourable acquittal may be regarded as certain. Mr. Stanton, it is said, and pro- bably with truth, is anxious to retire into private life. A VERY remarkable case has occupied the attention of the Vice-Chancellor's Court for several days. It is that of Lyon v. Home, in which the plaintiff, a widow lady, seeks to recover from the defendant, the well-known spiritualist, certain large sums of money which she had given to him, under what she believed to be the influ- ence of her husband's spirit. The plaintiff was under cross-examination for two days. On leaving the court each evening the defendant has been hooted by the crowd but a strange affair is said to have taken place on Thursday evening. One of the crowd on that occasion struck at Home's breast with a dagger, but the blow missed its mark, although it cut through his clothes, and the weapon touched the skin of his side. Home then ran, and in throwing his arm back received a slight wound on the back of the hand. Nothing appears to be known of his assailant. THE death of Marshal Narvaez opens out a chance for General Prim and the Liberal party. For the moment, Senor Gonzalez Bravo has succeeded in forming a Cabinet, which, if the new Minister be not misreported, is to be presided over by the shade of the deceased Marshal. The things of Spain," however, are beyond the control of even heroic spirits, and unless the present Ministry can oppose something more substantial to the intrigues and fiery ardour of General Prim, we may expect shortly to hear of another revolution in that ill- governed country. THE Bishop of Hereford, better known in the annals of theological controversy as Dr. Hampden, died on the evening of the 23rd of April, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. The deceased bishop was a violent opponent of Dr. Colenso, notwithstanding his own latitudinarian views previous to his consecration to the see of Here- ford. PRINCE HUMBERT, eldest son of Victor Emmanuel, and heir to the Kingdom of Italy, was married on the 22nd of April to his cousin, Princess Margherita, of Savoy. THE Abyssinian expedition is at an end. The mili- tary promenade through the country has terminated, if without much martial renown, in the most complete success. On Good Friday King Theodore, issuing from his stronghold, attacked the First Brigade, but, his old- fashioned muskets being unable to cope with Enfield and Snider rifles, his troops were repulsed with the loss of five hundred men, while that of the British consisted of one officer and fifteen rank and file wounded. On the following day all the European captives, including the artificers in the king's employment, were released, and reached the British camp in safety. At the expira- tion of the term of twenty-four hours allowed for Theo- dore's surrender, Sir Robert Napier assaulted the seem- ingly impregnable fortress of Magdala, under cover of a heavy fire from his Armstrongs, mortars, and rocket battery, and carried it by storm. The king, deserted by all except a small, determined band of followers, fought desperately to the last, and, when no choice remained save death or captivity, killed himself with his own pistol. The British loss was again very small. Sir Robert Napier concludes this highly satisfactory report with the scarcely less agreeable intimation that the army will return immediately to Zoulla. OF the six Fenian prisoners tried at the Central Criminal Court, Barrett alone has been found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. LATER intelligence from Sydney announces the con- viction and condemnation of O'Farrell, who attempted to murder Prince Alfred.

THE FAMILY FA VOURITE. A new sewing machine has been invented, upon which has been bestowed the appropriate name of The Family Favourite." Cynical bachelors, however, may possibly be disposed to go a step further, and call it The Wife Superseded." It will do everything, indeed, that the most notable and self-sacrificing housewife could accomplish in the way of mending and making, by the surrender of her whole time and attention to ply- ing the needle. And it has the advantage of never fall- ing sick, or of growing weary, or of nodding over its work, dropping stitches, and wasting good materials. To husbands it is an inestimable boon, inasmuch as it tends to free the wife of their bosom from unremitting and soul-benumbing drudgery. No wife or maiden with a "soul above buttons" need now relinquish her music or her drawing, or those nameless trifles which beautify and adorn English households in the middle classes of society. The ordinary sewing machine was unquestionably a thing of beauty" in the eyes of many an over-worked matron, whose aching eyes had followed hour after hour, and year after year, the unceasing movements of her fingers. But there has hitherto been room for improvement, not- withstanding the many patents that have been taken out within the last few years. This machine was admirable for coarse, strong work—that was excellent for the production of delicate embroideries, or fancy trifles- but neither was good alike for industry and ornament. That was the problem to be solved, and one less easy of solution than might at first be imagined. However, it has at length been successfully worked out, and the result is The Family Favourite." This new machine possesses many advantages over its predecessors. In the first place, its cost is comparatively small. Then, it is easily managed, and can hardly be forced out of working order by the most clumsy or most stupid of workers. Anybody, too, may learn how to use it, sup- posing they are endowed with a very moderate share of comprehension. Moreover, the work turned out is strong, and defies alike the violence of the washer- woman and the insidious ravages of every-day wear and tear. All these advantages were at once recognised by the in- telligent jurors of the Exposition Internationale, held last year in the Champ de Mars, at Paris, and were rewarded by the highest prize. As a matter of course, the pro- prietors were not disposed to remain satisfied with an honorary distinction, however gratifying to their self- love. They have accordingly opened a depot at 41, Oxford-street, London, where the sceptical may judge for themselves of the real merits of the Family Favourite." Possibly, they may deem it not the least of these merits that there are no complicated attachments, and that there is no necessity of taking the machine to pieces whenever it happens to require cleaning or oiling. However, good wine, says the proverb, needs no bush, and assuredly this new machine only needs to be tried to be justly appreciated.

THE BOUNDARY BILL. Formal as these bills usually are, the one now before Parliament is likely to give rise to some discussion. Several towns have taken action against it, and particu- larly Birmingham, or rather Balsall Heath. The bill in question goes so far as to violate the boundaries of counties, and take electors from one county and include them in a borough in another county. For instance, the inhabitants of Balsall Heath, situated in the eastern division of the county of Worcestershire, find them- selves by this bill proposed to be included in the neigh- bouring borough of Birmingham, which is situated in Warwickshire. The electors of Birmingham are already a very large body, and need no additions to their numbers; while the inhabitants of Balsall Heath are well content to remain where they are, electors of the eastern division of Worcestershire. Besides, many of them have no business or connection whatever in Birmingham, and the district in which they are residents has been for twenty years separately incorporated under the Public Health Act, and they have prided themselves upon the possession of the county vote, and many of them have laboured all their lives to attain it. They, therefore, are much agitated at the prospect of losing it at the caprice of the Boundary Commissioners. They have petitioned Par- liament through the Hon. Mr. Calthorpe, and they trust that Mr. Dixon or Mr. Bright will move that Birming- ham be exempted from the Boundary Billl

MASSACRE OF FRENCH OFFICERS AND SEAMEN. SHANGHAI, March 19. Intelligence from Japan announces that a boat's crew and officers belonging to the French man-of-war, Dupleix, have been massacred at Osaca. The Japanese Govern- ment had offered satisfaction for the outrage, but all the foreign Ministers, except the representative of Great Britain, had hauled down their flags. o

THE PERSECUTION OF THE ROUMAIN JEWS. The New Free Press, of Vienna, in a correspondence dated from Jassy, April 13, re-affirms the fact of the persecution of Jews in Baken, Moldavia. It gives a list of 96 persons who have been forced from their homes, and are wandering about Okna, Kaintz, and other villages in search of a temporary shelter. It states that the graves of the Jews were desecrated, and that shots were fired into the houses.

THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. DEFEAT AND DEATH OF KING THEODORE. Secretary Sir Stafford Northcote has received the two following telegraphic despatches from the Commander- in-Chief of the Abyssinian force (Without Date.) An engagement took place before Magdala on Good Friday between our troops and the army of Theodore, in which the latter was defeated with heavy loss. Casualties on our side:—Captain Roberts, 4th Foot, wounded in arm, and fifteen rank and file wounded. No one killed. On the two following days Theodore sent into our camp every European that he had in his power, both captives and employes. Theodore has not yet surrendered himself according to my demand. He has been given 24 hours to decide. The King's troops are completely demoralised. -1 (Signed) ROBERT NAPIER. April 14. Theodore's army much disheartened by the severe losses of the 10th inst. A portion of the chiefs sur- rendered the most formidable position of SMiasse (?), and many thousand fighting men laid down their arms. Theodore retired to Magdala with all who remained faithful. Magdala taken by assault on the 13th, under cover of Armstrong steel guns, 8-inch mortars, and rocket battery. Ascent to gates most formidable. Theodore killed, defending to the last. Our loss small. Army will return immediately. About — guns and mortars taken. (Signed) ROBERT NAPIER.. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) "ZOULLA, April 18. "Magdala was taken by storm on the 13th inst. King Theodore was killed. The prisoners were surren-; dered, and 14,000 men laid down their arms. The casualties among the British troops are only one ofScer: and 14 men wounded. The loss of the enemy was 500 killed and 1,500i wounded. Three months' provisions have been accu- mulated with the troops." HEAD-QUARTERS BRITISH ARMY, MAGDALA (date not given). All the European prisoners, numbering 60 men, women, and children, have been delivered over to Sir Robert Napier, and are now on their way to Zoulla. All Theodore's army have been either killed, wounded, or taken prisoners.

DEATH OF M. VICTOR HUGO'S HEIR. A heavy affliction has just befallen M. Victor Hugo and his family in the death of his only grandchild and inheritor of his name in the second degree-a child of something over twelve months-the son of M. Charles Hugo. The poet's hopes and affections were concentrated with all the intensity of his nature on the little creature who has, after three days' illness, been called away, and he feels his bereavement with a depth of sorrow that claims from all who know him, either personally er by his works, a large measure of that constant sym- pathy which he himself so bountifuily extends to all who need it.

MARRIAGE OF PRINCE EUMBERT. Prince Humbert and the Princess Margherita of Savoy were married at Turin on Wednesday. First, the civil marriage took place in the ball-room of the Palace, in the presence of King Victor Emmanuel and a host of Parliamentary and municipal dignitaries. Next, the young couple went to the cathedral, where a grand nuptial mass was celebrated, and the Archbishop of Turin performed the marriage service. Subsequently, the Princess received deputations from the army and the National Guard. The Archbishop of Turin and the President of the Senate were decorated by the king with the Collar of the Annunziato. The city kept high holiday.

CONFESSION OF A RUSSIAN MURDERER. Details are published in the Russian journals con- cerning the murder of the Gemarine family at Tamboff. The tutor named Gorski has confessed his guilt. He had gone, he says, to the residence of M. Gemarine on the 1st March last to give a lesson to the son, but with- out any intention of committing a crime on that day. While he was thus occupied the mother went out. Gorski then determined to take advantage of the oppor- tunity. He had carried a revolver and life-preserver about with him for a whole week. He at once struck his pupil over the head, and the latter dropped insen- sible to the ground. On seeing him fall Gorski was seized with remorse, and his first movement was to escape, but fearing to be discovered, he again beat the boy until life was extinct. There were three other persons in the house the mistress, the cook, and a man-servant. He first called the mother, saying that her son was bleeding at the nose, and when she entered the room he shot her dead with the pistol; he next summoned the man into the dining-room and killed him in the same manner lastly, he fired twice at the cook, wounding her each time, and on her attempting to escape he deprived her of life with blows of the life- preserver. He waited in the kitchen until the house- keeper returned, and on her arrival shot at her, but as the pistol did not go off, be killed her by a single blow with a log of wood. As the mechanism of the revolver had become disarranged, he went out to get the arm repaired, and on returning met the coachman and the nursemaid he might have killed them both, he said, but his hand refused to obey his will. He then suffered so much from remorse that he went home with the intention of committing suicide. He put the barrel of the pistol to his mouth, but the instinct of life was too strong, and he could not carry out his intention. Gorski admits that his object was to rob Gemarina. He is only 19 years of age, but of a most energetic character. He belongs to a Catholic family, but declares that he has no religious belief.

OBJECTING TO BE EATEN. Another shocking instance of cannibalism is reported from Algeria. A little Arab girl was recently picked up on the road half dead from hunger and fatigue. Where are your parents ? she was asked why have they abandoned you?" My family live in a tent in the fields," was the answer we are very poor, and for a month we have been living only on human flesh. In the evening my father watches people who are passing by, kills them if he can, and we eat them. We had seven in the space of three weeks, and as there was nothing more in the tent we were famishing with hunger. I then heard my father say that he was going to kill me because nobody was coming that way, and that there were too many of us. With her,' he said, we shall have food for a few days more.' As I knew he w»uld do what he said, I ran away and being very weak I fell on the road, where you found me; I thought I was going to die there." The story told by this poor child is perfectly true; an inquiry lias psoved it to be so.

MURDER OF AN ENGLISEMAN IN VALENCIA. Mr. Henry Fink, one of the partners in the foundry and nail factory in Ruzafa-road, and manager of the mechanical department of the railway, was returning from his factory with his servant on the evening of the 16th when at the gate of the city he was stopped by a man who asked for employment in the factory. Mr. Fink told him there was no vacancy. The man then fired a pistol at him, and ran away without being followed by any one. The ball entered the skull, and Mr. Fink fell dead on the spot. Mr. Fink was generally respected in Valencia, and his death has caused profound regret among all to whom he was personally known. As yet the murderer has escaped the vigilance of the authorities. Mr. Fink leaves behind him a widow and eleven children, five of whom are married, and six young and unprovided for.

A MONUMENT TO POLAND. The Polish patriots have determined upon erecting a, monument commemorative of the struggles of Poland to regain her national independence. The site chosen is in one of the most beautiful districts of Switzerland, on the heights of Rapperswyl, bordering the Lake of Zurich. This memorial will consist of a column of black marble, 28 feet high, standing upon three platforms of granite, each of the latter serving as a step up to the pedestal. On the summit will be an eagle with outspread wings. Historical inscriptions and the arms of Poland are to be carved upon four tablets on the lower part of the shaft; and the whole will be surrounded by an iron railing. The work will be completed in the course of the summer. A circular from Count Ladislas Plater, dated Villa Broelberg, near Zurich, April 22, has been issued, in which an appeal is made to all who have the cause of Poland at heart to assist in carrying out this patriotic demonstration.

NARVAEZ, DUKE OF VALENCIA. The death is announced of Marshal Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, at the age of 68, on the 23rd April. Marshal Narvaez began life as a soldier in the ranks of the patriot army that fought against Napoleon. He attained dis- tinction and promotion rapidly, as well by his daring as by his skill, and when the war of Liberation came, it found him already high in command. At the com- mencement of the Carlist war he tsok side with the Queen, and was rapidly promoted for the ability he dis- played in the first contest with the Carlist troops. But when the last hope of the Carlists was extinguished then arose that unhappy feud which for so many years disturbed the tranquillity of Spain-the quarrel with the Queen Mother. Narvaez warmly espoused the cause of Christina. Opposed by Espartero, he joined the ranks of the disaffected, and assisted in 1841 in the organisa- tion of an insurrection for the overthrow of Espar- tero, which, however, failed, and compelled Narvaez to fly from Spain. Two years later he had better fortune. A movement, principally organised by Nar- vaez, was set on foot which led to the downfall of Espartero, and brought back his rival in triumph into Spain, finally procuring for him the title of Duke of Valencia. Queen Christina returned, and Narvaez was made Prime Minister. In 1846 another turn of the wheel took place, and Narvaez was displaced, finding a post at Paris as ambassador. The following year found him again in power, and this time apparently more firmly than ever. So the rest of his life alternated. The retirement of Espartero only made way for a more dan- gerous rival, O'Donnell, who by his campaign in Morocco eclipsed the memories of Narvaez' previous exploits. But O'Donnell in his turn succumbed to a Pronunciamento, and Narvaez reigned in his stead. His last appointment as Prime Minister dated from 1866. Since that year various attempts have been made to unseat him—military emeutes, street risings, and party votes-but they have all signally failed.—Standard.

AUSTRALIAN TREES. Measures are about to be taken for the protection and preservation of the State forests of the colony of Vic- teria. As illustrating the natural growth of timber in the more favourable districts, it is mentioned that Mr. Percy Hodgkinson recently measured, near the source of the western branch of the Wori Yallock Creek, a tree (Eucalyptus Amygdalina) that had been felled for split- ting its diameter one foot above the ground was 19ft., and at 70ft. from the butt-end 9ft. its length in a. straight line was 330ft. Many of the adjacent standing trees were, however, evidently of much greater height than this. A grove of the same kind of timber, at the head of the creek, contained on an acre of ground 20 large trees, of an apparent average height of about 350ft., and 38 saplings of a height of 50ft., the whole being surrounded by a dense undergrowth of large fern- trees, musk, dogwood, &c.

THE FOREIGN COAL AND IRON TRADES. It is stated that MM. de Dorlodot, of Acoz, have secured a contract for 25,000 tons of rails for the Helsingfors and St. Petersburg Railway, the contract price being .£6 17s. 6d. per ton. The coal trade has not been very brisk in Belgium of late, and in the Charleroi basin contracts of any importance have only been renewed at a reduction in price. In the Liege basin the offers made have also been in excess of the demand. English pig iron continues to maintain a competition with Belgian, and to enable them to cope more effectually with this competition the Belgian firms have been making reductions in prices. A fall of 4s. per ton is noted in casting pig. It is observed, never- theless, that MM. Cambier and Co., of LaLouviere, have re-lighted one of their furnaces for the make of casting pig. The French iron trade displays little animation.

THE DUKE OF EDINBURGE. At the ball given on Saturday night by the President Schneider at the Palace of the Legislative Body, the news of the attempt at assassinating the Duke of Edin- burgh was received with a universal feeling of sympathy for the Queen and horror at the announcement that one so young ani so popular should have been the mark for the bullet of a murderer. The first person who spread the intelligence was at once the centre of a group of inquirers, anxious for details, of which there were natu- rally none to give. For a few moments dancing ceased, and the guests of M. Schneider broke up in groups dis- cussing the event.
