FROM THE PAPERS. The Duke of Westminster has intimated to Professor Blackie his intention to contribute iLIOO to the Celtic chair. The inquiry into the sn'Vide of the Bluecoat boy was opened on Monday, July IG. Reporters were refused admission. It is understood that Parliament will be prorogued about the 9th of August. Liberal members are being kept in their places by the fear of the rumoured vote of credit. Mr. Gladstone attended a meeting held in London on Monday, July 16, in support of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian refugees, and powerfully appealed for support to the fund. A Liverpool policeman was set upon by two men on Sunday, July 15, and so seriously stabbed that his life is despaired of. His assailants are in custody. At the Anglesey assizes, on Saturday, July 14, Ellen Williams, a farmer, was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude for forgery. Dr. James Bryce, the well-known geologist of Edinburgh, was drowned on Wednesday evening, July 11,.at the Falls of Foyers. He had arrived in the morning on a geological excursion, and fell over the precipice. The select committee on the case of Lord Cochrane recommend that pecuniary compensation be granted to the present Lord Dundonald, and steps taken to vindicate Lord Coclirane's cliarticter. The coroner's jury who nave, oeen investigating the circum- stances of the terrible bridge disaster, at Üath, returned on Thursday, July 12, a verdict of manslaughter against four of the proprietors and the tollkeeper. By permission of his Grace the Duke of Westminster, the members of the Sunday Shakespeare Society visited Cliefden on Sunday, July oS, and during the afternoon read Shakespeare's "Tempest." The deaths are reported of Rotert Dale Owen, Mr. Henry Merritt, the art critic, Col. Sir George Bell, K. C. B., awl of Mr. John Clark Marshman, C.S.I., the founder, and for many years the editor of the Friend of India. A bronze statue of Robert Raikcs, the founder of the Sunday school system, is about to he erected by national subscription ill his native city of Gloucester. The movement is promoted by the Sunday School Union. Recently, her Majesty the Queen drove to Old Windsor, and visited Mrs. liagster, widow of Samuel Ba^ster, the publisher of the Polyglot Bible. Mrs. Bagster will attain her hundredth year next month. In view of the pending enquiry to he made by direction of the Home Secretary, the authorities of the Hospital have decided that "Speech Day," which was fixed for Wednesday, the 18th July, shall not be observed this year. At Dorchester Assizes, on Wednesday. July 11, George Lacey (43), flax dresser, who was con 7ictecl of the manslaughter of his wife at Thorncombe, by starvation, was brought up for sentence. Chief Justice Lord Coleridge sentenced the prisoner to penal servitude for five years. The election of a councillor for Pitt,street Ward, Liverpool, took place on Thursday, July 12. The candidates were Mr. Jas. Steel, Liberal, and Mr. C. C. Deane, Tory. Mr. Steel was re- turned by a majority of 53. The Committee of Council of the British Medical Association have resolved unanimously that a special gold medal shall be presented to :\Ir. H. N. Davies, and silver medals to some of his medical coadjutors, for their honourable and devoted ser- vices during and after the rescue of the imprisoncrlminers at Pontypridd. The London Gazette notifies that the petition from the inhabi- tant householders in the town of Burslem, Staffordshire, praying for a charter of incorporation, has been ordered by her Majesty to be taken into consideration by the Privy Council on the ltith of August next. A telegram from Hong Kong states that severe fighting con- tinues in Japan, and that some districts- hitherto quiet have joined in the insurrection. Many thousand persons are said to have been killed since the coniiiienceinento4 the civil war. Two brothers named Spencer, aged respectively six and four 's years, were drowned while bathing at Preston on Thursday, July 13. The younger child, a mere baby, disappeared soon after he entered the water, and the elder was drowned in a fruit- less attempt to rescue him. The accounts from some of the famine districts in China are still very bad. The Celestial Empire says-" The financial condition of China is revealed to us in fitful glimpses, but all the aspects are alarming. It is certain that the whole empire is poverty stricken, and not even a year's good harvest can restore the country to its average status. But if, unhappily, the growing crops should again fail, the result will be a terrible catastrophe, as the empire cannot endure, in its present condition, another lean year." A very serious amount of mischief has been wrought by the heavy rainfall of Saturday and Sunday, July 14 and 15. V ast tracts of country were on Monday underwater in several towns mills have been inundated, and people driven from their dwellings railway traffic has been interrupted and the amount of damage to crops and other property must swell up to an alarming total. Loss of life has been reported from Biackburn and Oldham, five persons having been drowned. 7> The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Wantage, m Berk- shire on Saturday, July 14, where his Royal Highness unveiled a statue of King Alfred the Great, which has been placed in the Market Place, at the cost of Colonel Loyd-Lmdsay, .C. The statue is from the chisel of Count Gleichen, the Queen's cousin, and was purchased bv Colonel Loyd-Lindsay in commemoration of the fact of Wantage being King Alfred's birthplace. A pointsman was run over by a railway engine at Crewe sta- tion on Monday, July 9th, and instantaneously killed. On the following day the Coroner's jury appended to their verdict their opinion that the duty assigned to the deceased was too much for one man,and recommended that two men should be em- ployed one on the up, and the other oil the down line, in order to avoid the danger of crossing. Mr. Froude has asked that his name should be withdrawn as a candidate for the rectorial chair of Glasgow University. The coming forward of Sir Stafford Xorthcote in opposition to Ilr. Gladstone is, he says, a challenge to the. university to express its opinion on the great question of the day, and he could not be instrumental in diminishing by one vote the majority by which lie trusted approbation of Mr. Gladstone's conduct would be signified. The Shah of Persia has presented to the South Kensington Museum an assortment of modern Persian textile manufactures, consisting of carpets and various kinds of embroidery. The gift, which was sent through Major Smith, director of the English telegraph establishment in Persia, was accompanied by a letter from the Shah's secretary, expressing his Majesty's desire that the gift should be accepted as a souvenir, and as all acknowledg- ment of the friendly manner in which Persian art has been re- garded in England. The Quinine Committees (says Mai,fair), which have been formed in many Russian towns will not obtain full supplies of the potent tonic without a large expenditure. What with the great demand caused by the war, partial failure of the crop of cinchona bark, and the difficulty of getting it to ports, owing to the insurrectionary outbreaks in South America, quinine has greatly advanced in price. It is now retailing in England at about 18s. per ounce not many months ago it was only 8s. Owing to large shoals of bass and mullet having been recently destroyed by the use of dynamite in the neighbourhood of the Chesil Bank, her Majesty's Inspector of Fisheries held an enquiry on Wednesday, July 11, at Portland, on the subject. From the evidence it appeared that the local fishermen appre- hended the ruin of the fisheries if the practice were persisted in. It is said that they propose to bring a Bill before Parlia- ment dealing with the matter, as at present there is no enact- ment under which the practice can be effectually prevented. Mr. Gladstone delivered two speeches oil Friday, July 13, during his tour in Devonshire, adverting, among other topics, to the wholesome effect of public criticism on statesmen, ex- pressing confidence in the political action of the people, and avowing his belief in the superior vitality and power of Liberal principles for the correction of abuses and the promotion of true progress. He also referred in terms of praise to the Greek policy of Mr. Canning. The right hon. gentleman was cordially wel- comed. The death of Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhov, Bart., C.S.I., is an- nounced. He was born in isil, and was the son of the late Sir Jamsetjee Jeejeebhoy, who was created a baronet in 1S57, in recognition of his numerous acts of munificence for public ob- jects. The late baronet succeeded his father in 1859, and was a magistrate for Bombay and a Fellow of the University. He was for some time also a member of the Legislative Council of the Bombay Presidency. He is succeeded bv his son, Maiiekjee Cursetjee, who was born in 1851, and who will, under a special Act of the Legislative Council of India, passed in 1860, have, like all holders of the title, to take the name of the first baronet. Edward Froggatt, solicitor, and Chief Inspectors Druscovitch, Micklejohn, and Palmer were on Thursday, July 12, charged on warrants at the Bow-street Police Court with having conspired to defeat the ends of justice in the case known as the great turf swindle, in which £ 10,000 was obtained by fraud from the Coun- tess de Gonconrt. The accusation resolved itself into one of heing accessory after the fact to the felonies committed by the iticii who were convicted of the frauds at the Central Criminal Court. Formal evidence only was taken on Thursday, and a re- mand was ordered, bail being accepted only for Mr. Froggatt. At the Greenwich Police Court, on Saturday, July 14, John Elliott was remanded on bail on a charge of wilfully damaging the confessional box in St. James's Church, Hatcham. The pri- soner was found by a policeman in the church after ten o'clock at night, and it was ascertained that he had smashed the con- fessional box. He had with him an axe and two steel chisels. Prisoner's solicitor said his client belonged to the Working Men's Protestant League, and he had committed the damage stated, having an opinion that a confessional box was an im- proper thing in a church. p Mr. Biggar, M.P., Mr. Parnell, M.P., and Mr. O'Connor Power, M.P., addressed a meeting of Home Rulers in the Con- cert Hall, Lord Nelson-street, on Saturday evening, July 14, in defence of the obstructive policy they have pursued in the House of Commons during the current session. They addressed a simi- lar meeting in the afternoon in the Free Trade Hall, Man- chester, when resolutions were passed in favour of a more vigorous and combative policy being pursued by the Home Rule members of the House of Commons, and expressing the opinion that the continued incarceration of the Irish political prisoners was an outrage on humanity and a standing insult to the Irish people. Unfavourable weather and a very light breeze militated against the success of the annual regatta, which came off in Conway Bay on Saturday afternoon, July 14. The challenge cup for gentlemen amateur four oars brought out three crews, and was won easily by the Llandudno representatives, who rowed in a boat belonging to the newly-formed (rowing club at that favourite summer resort. In the sailing matches the Comet, a Bangor boat, well known for its snccesses at regattas along the Welsh coast, carried off the principal prize, the Conway boats being successful in the remaining classes. On Thursday, July 12, at a Provincial Grand Lodge of the Masonic fraternity of Leicestershire and Rutland, ah illumin- ated address of congratulation was presented, in the name of the province, to Brother George Toller, the Provincial Grand Secretary, by the Provincial Grand Master, Earl Ferrars, on his appointment, by the Grand Master of England—the Prince of Wales--to the office of Sword Bearer. The address stated that this was the first occasion on which a Leicestershire man had been called to any rank in the Grand LOllge of England. When Manchester undertakes anything it generally contrives to do it well (says the Wnrlil). The Assize Courts are the best in the kingdom the Town Hall by far the largest and handsom. est municipal building in Europe the Woodhea<l Waterworks, as good as those of any provincial town, and far better than those of London. It is thought, however, that they will soon become in. sufficient for the supply of the town and, as a consequence, the City Council have just decided to build an aqueduct from Thirlinere, in the Lake Country, and to bring in a supply of to hegin with, 50,000,000 gallons a day. A million and three- quarters will be spent on this work, but the local taxation will not be perceptibly increased—the gas and water, which are managed well anil cheaply by the Corporation, will pay the greater part of the cost of this mighty work. Excessive drinking is not generally supposed to operate as a stnnulus to labour, but it seems to have had that effect in the case oi .)onn Cuff, a coalheaver, who was charged at the Police l?! e,'V' °n Friday, July 14, with assaulting, while UlUUK, one John Ganmen. On Thm-srb»v the nrisonor went-, inl.n a coaijard, and asked the prosecutor to permit him to work for Jt 'l t lf' !n 0!i Rr "to take a sup of beer out of him." In- .-tead ot allaying the alcoholic excitement from which Cuff w:is suffering, the exertion* seeiiis to have developed it; and, becom- in, very "c:tnt.,iiileroits he at last sought relief by taking up ,>ti,o'Ui ,'st.nkmf tho Prosecutor on the face with it. When h P 6 °MferJecl t],e maximum punishment for hi> oftence Mas three months' imnri^onmpnt Air pointed out that this observation showed the prisoner's le"al knowledge to be defective, as he was reallv onlv liable to tWl) months, to which term he was sentenced John Graham, a grocer, carrying on business in Scotland ro-id Liverpool, volunteered a singular statement to Air Asn aU -it, the Police Court on Friday, July 13tli. Gi^m Lrtafned"hat he was the person on whom the magistrate, in his canaritv as borough coroner, held an inquest the previous dav A bodv was discovered in the canal, conveyed to the deadhonse and ificliti- tied as his corpse. Mr. Graham now mildly resente'd'the insinu ationof the jury that he had been found drowned and renu diated the ownership of any body but the living one in which he appeared. Unless the evidence of the persons who identified the corpse as that of Mr. Graham is (remarks fclie Lfnc-rpooi P<d) strong enough to outweigh Mr. Graham's own testimony the case must be one of mistaken identity. At the same tiin^ the verdict of a British jury is always entitled to great respei-tand when a person is officially declared to 11<, Found drowned, and ostentatiously exhibits himself alive iji court the next morning, he takes a course which many people will hold to Jwexceedingly inconvenient. °

I A PROTEST. (From the Spectator.) This is the sabbath season of the year, When summer ;»i'lence falleth on the eirtii,- When truce has Tome to husbandry and mirth, To mower's scythe and wanton wood-notes clear. The world is still, as if with holy fear, And from its heart, through lily-bell and rose, A stream of incense rises up, and flows Godwards with soft repinings.for His ear. And I would with the sabbath world take rest, Could breathe my life out with the summer's sigh Could lay it at God's feet if, flispossest, My soul might feed new life as glad as high; But of no dweller on this earth unblest,- This fair, lost world, where mortals love aud die E)IILY Ii

CONCEITS, KNACKS, TRIFLES. ) Cleveland young women write comments on the margins of the I library novels they read. One emotional creature writes: "111e pangs of love are. grate i have ben there my self." Speaking of the sentiment— She who rocks the cradle rines the world," an American paper says In this section she is generally a coloured girl, and we don't believe a word of it." A San Francisco paper prints an advertisement which reads "Wis. if this catches your eye, write, as we think yon arc dead." The paper has an extensive circulation, but it is doubtful if it reaches the proper locality in case the advertiser's fears are well founded. A North Carolinian, annoyed by two men outside disputing, quietly got out of bed and shot hath dead, then wrapped the drapery of his couch about him, and laid down to pleasant dreams. Every dog that steps into the street in New York is now com- pelled by law to wear a string not more than tour feet long, and have a responsible person at the other end of it. The reason of this arrangement is, that if the dog should wish to go mad while out, it will have someone to lead it home. Mr. James Russell Lowell is reported as telling this story about his hutcher- One morning the man expatiated upon the loveliness of the moonlight of the night before, and, just as the poet was thinking that he had done him an injustice in never having given him credit for refinement of soul, the butcher added, "the night was so fine I could not sleep, and had to get up, and kill some sheep! The London correspondent of the iresfem Mail on Saturday made fun" of the telegraph clerks for transforming the junior member for Denbighshire, in the columns of the Leeds Mercury, into "Mr. O'Morgan." But in another paragraph, not an inch distant from the critical one, appears the notice of a meeting of the Council of the University College of Wales, in which the Mail itself transforms the well-known son of the Bishop of St. Asaph, into Professor T. M'Hughes." MODKIIX POETRY.—M. Coventry Patmore has published a poem called "The Unknown Kros," of which the Tablet says: —"There are almost inexplicable weakness of phrase and per- verse antitheses in these verses, but when the reader is half dis- couraged by them some flash of revealing light dazzles him to forgetfulness of all he has not liked. In our age of near-sighted realism, it is well to be offered the delight of dim vistas sugges- tive of far horizons. A half-sight rouses imagination and pre- pares us for it vision of nearly forgotten and somewhat ghostly virtues, that grows on our sight until we know them once more to be the most living forces of the world." Plain men and women may be pardoned if they fail to understand a poem that is thus explained Majifair remarks-" It is remarkable what tenacity of life an old custom has. The farmers of the West of England have, as they say, from time immemorial, given back a small sum as 'lush money,' on every transaction in wheat and barley, the amount varying in the different markets. In the Wiltshire markets the general custom is for the farmer to throw back the buyer a shilling on every ten sacks of wheat, or ten quarters of barley at Bristol it is a shilling on every hundred bushels of either wheat or barley; in the Midland markets the sum is a shilling on every twenty sacks; while further North, three months' interest on the purchase money is deducted. The custom is pretty general throughout the country, but whether it originated in the practice of 'washing down' a bargain, or, as in the North, because farmers are paid ready-money while dealers have to allow credit, is a question that folks versed in ancient lore can alone decide. The practice exists, and was generally concurred in until a few weeks ago, when the Wilt. shire farmers resolved to give no more drawbacks—or, rather, some of them—260 out of 2,800 so resolved. The dealers have met this movement with a counter-resolution, not to purchase from any farmer who does not allow the lush-money and here the matter, for the present, stands." The wife of the celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the "History of the Rebellion," was a Welsh pot girl, who, being extremely poor in her own country, journeyed to London to better her fortune, and became servant to a brewer. While she was in this humble capacity, the wife of her master died, and he happening to fix his affections on her, she became his wife himself dying soon after, leaving her heir to his property, which is said to have amounted to between twenty and thirty thousand pounds. Among those who frequented the tap at the brew- house was a Mr. Hyde, then a poor barrister, who conceived the project of forming a matrimonial alliance with her. He suc- ceeded and soon led the brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde, being endowed with great talent, and at the command of a large fortune, quickly rose in his profession, becoming head of the Chancery Bench, and was afterwards the celebrated Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter, the offspring of this union, won the heart of James, Duke of York, and was married to him. Charles II. sent immediately for his brother, and having first plied him with some very sharp raillery on the subject, finished by saying, James, as you have brewn, so you must drink and forthwith commanded that the marriage should be legally ratified and promulgated. Upon the death of Charles, James it mounted the throne, but a premature death frustrated this enviable consummation in the person of his amiable Duchess. Her daughters, however, were Queen Mary, the wife of William, and Queen Anne, both grandchildren of the ci-devant pot girl from Wales, and wearing in succession the crown of England.

FROM LONDON LETTERS. Mr. Whalley is in a dangerous state. He struck up an al- liance with the Home Rulers and Papists on that memorable night we sat till a quarter-past seven, and the thing seems to lie heavily on his mind. He has struggled to save his conscience by increased activity on behalf of Protestantism, and more particularly by girding at the Priest in Absolution, but he is evidently wretched. He strides through the lobby with his eyes fixed upon the ground, urging himself along at a frightful pace, as if he were ridden by a spectre, and ever and anon rushes down to the door and leaps into a Hansom cab. When he is in the House he is always getting out of order a dozen times or so in an evening and upon any subject whatever, relevant or irrelevant, drags in his priest. The Speaker has been compelled to be unusually severe with him, and how his insurgency and excitement will end it is difficult to say.—Birminjham Post. At last the Conservative papers have spoken out with reference to the rumoured resignation of the Premier. The Standard says there is no prospect whatever of any immediate vacancy in the office of Prime Minister." That is scarcely a contradiction to the rumour which said that the Premier had offered his resignation and that the Queen had declined to accept it. The Globe is more specific, and says that a resignation has not even been contemplated. This statement is not in accordance with my own information, which is to the effect that Lord Beacons- fieltl went to Windsor with the full intention of resigning, and that the Queen contrived to cheer him up into a more cheerful state of mind than he had been, and thus the resignation did not come about.-Liverpool Nercury. A characteristic speech was made in the House of Commons to-day by Mr. David Davies, who enjoys the reputation of being a rough Welsh diamond. As a rule he only speaks on subjects with which he happens to be technically acquainted, and the House excuses the uncouthness of his language, and the not always faultless cut of his coat or arrangement of his tie, on ac- count of the shrewd mother wit and sound common sense which he displays. In the discussion of the votes in Committee of Supply this afternoon, Mr. Davies, taking his usual practical view of matters, condemned the practice of judges and leading counsel combining to send cases to reference. The subject was evidently one on which the hon. member felt keenly, judging from the excited and not always intelligible fashion in which he tried to express himself. At last, having worked himself up to a full pitch of righteous indignation, he exclaimed that cases ought to be tried out in court, and that leading counsel might go to Here I am afraid the hon. member was on the point of using an expression of more than usual vigour, but he suddenly checked himself, and, after a moment's pause, substi- tuted the words another place," which hail the advantage of not only giving adequate expression to his idea, but of being in the highest degree parliamentary. Such an unusual and felici- tous turn. of the phrase of course tickled the House, which never enjoys anything so much as a joke bordering on the naughty, and the hon. member himself joined in the fun.— Mail. Mr. Cross has lately undertaken a duty which no Home Secretary before him ever thought of discharging. He visited two large convict prisons, and one or two public works prisons, in order to satisfy himself as to the treatment of the convicts. He insisted on being left alone in each cell with each prisoner, and, said Mr. Cross, I tried to screw out complaints from them as to their food and treatment." In one large convict prison he saw in this way every prisoner, and the complaints were so few that the Home Secretary assured the House that the treatment of the convicts was entirely satisfactory. There was a time when convicts were treated like wild beasts, and when a man's life would not have been safe who trusted himself alone and un- armed in each man's cell. This is seeing and hearing fortmewlf, and the House not only admired Mr. Cross's nerve and physical courage, but the thoroughness and the determination to judge for himself, which distinguishes him above all other members of the Cabinet. His statement was made in a thin House, but it was one of the most characteristic revelations that a Cabinet Minister ever ma(le.Pii-))tiiigha,iii Post. The Government sntainell a heavy defeat on Monday night. The blow was really aimed at the Prime Minister, who is solely responsible for the "appointment of Mr. Pigott as comptroller of the Stationery Office, at a salary of a year. Mr. Pigott is son of the late Vicar of Hughenden, and a clerk in the War Office, and was promoted to the office by Lord Beaconsfteld, without consultation with his Secretary to the Treasury, al- though Mr. W. H. Smith was a member of the committee which has specially recommended practical and, technical knowledge as a qualification for the office. The House cxaild hardly follow the unintelligible Scotch in which Mr. J. Holms "showed up" the affair, but there was no mistaking the speech in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer feebly and weakly defended the Government, and allowed judgment to go by default against them. Mr. Watkin Williams made a slashing speech against the job, which thoroughly warmed the Opposition benches, and Mr. Mundella raised a laugh at the expense of Mr. Bates, who had defended the appointment. The Government were attacked in flank as well as in rear, and Sir Rainahb Knightley, from below the gangway, who had come down in the hope of being able to vote with the Government; felt oonstrainoil to de- nounce the appointment as contrary to the public interest. All this time the Ministerial benches were gradually emptying, while the Opposition were receiving new accessions. The nearer members approach the hustings the less they like to vote for a gross and glaring^job, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had left the House in. little doubt, from his dejected; visage and forlorn bearing, as to his private opinion of tile transaction. "Where is Mr. W. H. SmithV asked Mr. Muiulella. The question was soon answered.. He was in his pnivate room evading the debate, and out of the way of hearing bis authority quoted as a member of the committee but the first note of the division bell brought the Secretary to the Treasury into the House, and although he would not speak for the Government, lie had no compunction in voting for them. The Government lobby was first counted, and expectation was accordingly keetil; excited. The clerk handed the papers to MJr. Holms, and deafeninc cheers were raised which were reaewe-d again when the numbers were announced; and a third: and. fvurth time when the Speaker repeated the numbers and declared the motion carried as, a substantive resolution. The Majority was not relatively great; but to obtain a majority e £ four in a House which has given Lord Beaconsfield a normal majority of seventy, and occasional majorities of 100 and 120, was-a sufficient triumph to justify the shouts of the Liberal Benche5.Eirlill:ilyha IlL I'08t.

Miss Amy Sheridan had a narrow escape from drowning on Wednesday evening, July 11. Miss Sheridan was entering a I boat from. Truss's islcjnd,. on Mre Tbaxaes* between Staines awl Laleliam, when she fell into the water. The river here is very deep, and she had sunk twice, and would probably have been drowned had not lHr. Mason, a goatlewan of Staiiies, jumped into the river to her assistance, and brought her tc. the shoie. A sdagnlar tesJ of speell and endurance took plane on Friday, July 13.
