JlríJm the Paptrz. Mr Bright is lying seiiously ill at his residence, Rochdale, suffering from congestion of the lungs. A young man named Joseph Rumbold, was bet upon and killed by a party of roughs, in Regent's Park. London, on Thursday, while walking out with his sweetheart. The Welsh tenants of Lord Dudley are going to present his Lordship with an address and photographic view, and also with a Welsh BihJ, which will also he commemorative of the tercentenary of the translation of the Bible into Welsh. As the result of an action at the Court of Passage on Friday, the Liverpool Corporation were ordered to pay 1:60 compensation to Mary Costello, a married woman, who was injured through falling into a deep trench in Little Howard-street through the negligence of corporate servants. A letter has been received at Bradford from Mr Mitchell Henry, who is at present in Algiers, asking that his name as Unionist candidate for the Central Division of Bradford, should be withdrawn, on account of the want of cohesion between the two sections of the Unionist Party, Sir Robert Loder, Bart., of Whittlebury. North- amptonshire, died at Worthing on Monday night from a. paralytic stroke. He had been staying at Worthing for the benefit of his health. The deceased baronet, who was born in 1823, was elected for Shoreham in 1S80 as a Conservative, but retired in 1885. A man named Pierpoint was taking his boy, two years old, from one lodging to another in Walworth on Saturday night, when he suddenly took up the child by the leg and dashed his head upon the pavement. The infant was taken to Guy's Hospital, where it died shortly after admission. The murderer was appre- hended. On Thursday night the dead body of a young girl, named Elsina Hawkins, was discovered beneath the cliffs at West Bay, Bridport, her neck being broken and her body fearfully mutilated. She was in service at Bathenhampton, near Bridport. It is stated that I she was unhappy, and committed suicide by jumping over the chffs, which are 150 feet high. She was only fourteen years of age. Only one steamer was provided on Saturday evening to convey back from Douglas, Isle of Man, the excursionists who had been arriving in the island every day during the week. The consequence was that one thousand persons, many of whom were women and children, remained on the pier until four o'clock on Friday morning, when the steamer returned, and took them to Liverpool. The Local Government Board has issued a circular to clerks of the peace of counties, towii-clerks of boroughs, and returning officers, drawing attention to the provisions of the County Electors Act, ISSS, which renders it necessary that supplemental precepts should be issued to overseers, informing them of the action to be taken by them for the registration of county electors, with a view to the election in the future of County Councils. Letters have arrived from Major Barttelot by Tippu Tipp's messengers dated Singatini, on the Congo, October 25th. The deserters from Stanley's camp, after twenty days' canoe to Singatini. reported that all was well with him, and that he had plenty of food. Major Barttelot's party also were well. Tippu Tipp's behaviour was unsatisfactory. No details are given regarding Stanley's route. Major Ruck, Chief Constable of Carnarvonshire, has issued a circular to his men requesting them to acquaint him at once with reports of the discovery of gold in their several districts. It is understood that Major Ruck is acting in the interests of the Government. Several valuable finds of gold have already been made in Carnarvonshire and Merionethshire, in addition to Mr Pritehard Morgan's discoveries. A Bolton policeman, named Makinson, was called to A burning dwelling-house early on Saturday morning. Two children were in one of the bedrooms, but Makinson could not reach them in consequence of the flames and smoke. As a last resource he tied a wet cloth over his mouth; and forced a way on his hands and knees to the burning bed on which the children lay. He rescued them safely, but not before he had been severely burned himself. Prince Henry of Prussia, the second son of the Emperor Frederick, was married on Thursday at Char- lottenburg to his cousin Irene, daughter of the late Princess Ali Grand Duchess of Hesse. The father and grandmother of the bridegroom were able to be present. The marriage took place at noon, and in the afternoon the newly-married couple proceeded by special train to Erdmannsdorf for the honeymoon. They were greeted with hearty enthusiasm by the people. Kate O'Brien, a young woman, was shot dead on Monday night at Treorky Fair, near Cardiff. She had charge of a temporary erection, from which dangled coloured balls and other objects to be shot at by visitors to the fair. Amongst the amateur marksmen was Thomas Thomas, who took aim at a bottle, but just at the moment when he fired, O'Brien passed in froct of him to attend to another customer, and received the charge in her forehead, dying almost instantaneously. Thomas, who made no effort to escape, was immediately arrested and taken to Treherben Police-station. < A party of South Irish Militia, stationed at Fort Westmoreland, Spike Island, off Queenstown, were about to be conveyed in a Government steam launch from Queenstown to Spike Island on Saturday, when several of them called for cheers for Mr William O'Brien, and the Plan of Campaign, which was responded to vigorously by the other men, and by several hundred persons who were assembled on the Admiralty Pier. The Militiamen subsequently groaned for Mr Balfour, the crowd on the pier joining with them. An exciting scene was witnessed on Monday even- ing, in Wombwell's Menagerie, at Cardiff. A local hotel keeper, Mr Robert Wiltshire, had made a heavy wager that he would enter the cage of lions, and several thousand people assembled to see the feat per- formed. At the appointed time Mr Wiltshire, accom- panied by the keeper, entered a cage containing seven lions, and despite their threatening growls walked in their midst in a most fearless manner. Having re- mained in the cage for several minutes whilst the beasts were put through their ordinary performance he came out, and was greeted with tremendous applause. Several hundred pounds in bets changed hands over the affair. A munificent gift in aid of the proposed Suffragan Bishopric of Southwark has just been made by Mr Alexander Macmillan, the well-known publisher. He has offered to the Bishop of Rochester his house and grounds, Knapdale, Upper Tooting, as a residence for the future suffragan, and the gift has been gratefully accepted, subject to the passing of the Act which is to found the new bishopric. Knapdale is a large and commodious house of the type which is still not un- common in the older suburbs of London, and it is sur- rounded by a charming garden. We believe that the only condition imposed by Mr Macmillan in handing over the freehold to the Bishop is that the house shall remain as far as possible as it is at present. In every way, as regards both situation and internal arrange- ment, Knapdale is admirably adapted for the residence of a Bishop of South London. The sixty-ninth anniversary of the birth of the Queen was celebrated in London on Thursday by the firing of salutes at the Tower, and the ringing of bells, an i flags were hoisted at prominent public buildings. Similar observances took place at Windsor. The event will be generally celebrated on June 2nd. At Aldershot the day was observed unofficially. The Rojal Standard was raised on the Queen's Pavilion I and bands played the National Anthem. Her Majesty was born on the 24th of May, 1819. Four only of the Sovereigns of England have attained an age exceeding that of her Majesty, and they are—Queen Elizabeth, who lived 70 years George II., 7.7 years George III., 82 years, and William IV., 72 years. On the 20th of June next her Majesty will have reigned over the United Kingdom fpr 51 years, a period which ha.s been exceeded by two only of the monarchs of England, namely, Henry III., who reigned for 56 years, and George III., whose reign lasted for nearly 60 years. Her Majesty is also the oldest reigning European Sovereign, with two exceptions, they being Wiliiam III. King of the Netherlands, who is over 71 years of age, and Christian IX,, King of Denmark, who is over 70 years old. Her Majesty was proclaimed Emprecs of India, in 1S77. Sir John Puleston and Captain Price, the Conser- vative members for Devonport, addressed Ii meeting of their constituents on Saturday nighc. The hall w&,s crowded to excess, and the hcu. members met with a very hostile reception, strong feeling having ^been created in the borough in consequence of the wholesale discharges from the dockyard. It was with great diaiculty the speakers could make themselves heard, but Sir John Puleston was understood to say that he disapproved of those discharges, and that the responsi- bility for them rested, not with the Admiralty. but wish t're permanent officials, who practically dictated the policy of the Admiralty. Unfortunately, if the Clovernment. were turned out to-morrow the permanent officials who had insisted cu the reorganisation of the dockyards would remain. He wished he could get rid of many of them. Ultimately the disorder became so great that the speakers found it impossible to proceed, and the hon. members and their supporters left the hall, declaring the meeting at an end The Liberals, who were ift a large majority in the hall. then took possession of the platform, and a vote of no confidence in the two members was carried unanimously and amidst great enthusiasm. Cheers were given repeated for Mr Gladstone, and also for Mr Conybear.e and other Liberal members who had spo ke on behalf pf the dockyards men in the House of Coarsens.

LONDON GOSSIP. The Guest family seem always to be unlucky in electioneering. The present Lord Wimborne, before he. becamo a peer, contested Glamorganshire, and Poole, and Bristol. He stood for Bristol twice, and was always defeated. He got to bear the name of The Unwelcome Guest,' and now Mr Arthur Edward Great is making for himself r. record of the same kind. The Southampton election v ill make Lord Salisbury more chary than ever in the distribution of his patron- age among his followers. In nearly every case in which he has conferred favours upon his parliamentary supporters he has been rewarded at the poll by a signi- ficant indication of popular feeling. He will now pro- bably avoid as far as possible any action likely to cause parliamentary vacancies. This is a consideration very saddening to some of his friends. There are several colonial governorships about to be vacated. A few i months hence the Lieutenant Governor of Madras must be appointed. There are rumours of some changes upon the judicial bench. Hungry office-seekers in Parliament are likely to press their claims upon Ministers. But they must show very good reason for believing that their seats, if vacated, .vould be safe for the Conservatives if they are to obtain their hearts' desire. Sailors in the Honse, moreover, are likely to be called uron to forfeit thuir chances of promotion in the interests of an exalted patriotism. The new chairman of Congregational Union, the Rev Griffith John, is a Welshman, and was born fifty-seven years ago. As early as fourteen he began to preach in his native language, and from the first showed that he possessed oratorical gifts of a high order. He entered Brecon College in 1850, and five years later be set out to Shanghai as the representative of the London Missionary Society. While he was in China he did a great deal of useful work, and ultimately founded an important mission at Hankow. He has written tracts iu Chinese language which are now circulated all over the Chinese empire and wherever a Chinese speaking population resides. His election to the chair of the Union for ISSD has given the greatest satisfaction to influential members of the denomination he adorns. The vacancy in the Ayr Burghs, caused by the death of AlrR. F. F. Campbell, a Liberal Unionist, will lead to a very interesting contest. Ayrshire is the one county in Scotland which is undivided in its allegiance to the Unionist cause. The Ayr Burghs returned a Unionist Liberal at the last election by 1,175 majority. In North Ayrshire the Hon. H. F. H. Elliot was not even opposed. In South Ayrshire, though the majority was only five, the Liberal Unionist got the seat. Mr Campbell, whose seat is now vacated, was a local representative, much given to hospitality, popular throughout the county, and a difficult candi- date to beat at any time. But the Ayr Burghs are Liberal, and a Unionist majority of nearly 1,200 is hardly likely to be repeated. In fact, the Home Rulers believe that they will be able to wrest at Ayr another seat from Lord Hartington's grasp. Captain Sinclair will probably be again the Liberal candidate. Something in the nature of politics is talked here despite the fact that it is Epsom week, and one of the main points of discussion is as to the resolution the Cabinet is likely to take with regard to the licens- ing clauses of the Local Government Bill. No doubt is felt on any hand that opposition to these is develop- ing in so rapid a fashion that the Ministry is likely to be more seriously embarrassed by it than seemed probable even so short a time as a fortnight since. The result of the Southampton election has been to harden the opposition that was already active, and to stimulate that which was previously latent, with the consequence that no one can exactly foretell what the end will be. If, as Mr Gladstone intimated at Hawarden, the Government makes the passing of the clauses a question of confidence, the clauses will pass for the Liberal Unionists are prepared to swallow everything, even if it were the re-endowment of slavery itself, rather than give a vote which might lead to a dissolution. That, as they well know, would carry away the seats of fully three-fourths of them. There is the chance, however, that among the Conservatives a greater spirit of independence may be shown. In this connection it is important to remem- her that the really critical amendment stands in the name of Sir William Houldsworth, and that Sir William Houldsworth is one of the Tory members for Manchester. I hear that the opportunity which the recess has given of learning more accurately the opinions of the country on the compensation question has materially modified the views of many of the supporters of the Government. These gentlemen are anxious to do what they can for the liquor trade, but they are not prepared to imperil their political fortunes out of consideration for brewers and publicans. I should not be surprised, therefore, if from the Conservative side strong pressure was used to secure the abandonment of the licensing clauses altogether. The shrewdest men who sit behind the Government know that Mr Ritchie's treatment of the compensation question has done the party great harm, and they will certainly advise their withdrawal. The Government are the more likely to take this course, seeing that its adoption would facilitate the passing of the Local Government Bill within the limits of an autumn session. Mr Jacob Bright, who is in town just now, received on Tuesday evening a telegram from his niece, Mrs Clark, who is in attendance upon Mr John Bright. The report was much more favourable than might ha\ e been expected from the alarming accounts current this morning. Mr Bright's family, I gather, do not regard his situation with serious apprehension. I hear that Mr Gladstone was one of the earliest to make personal inquiry as to the health of his old colleague. I wonder if Mr Gladstone knows that the first name in the list of subscribers for the protrait of Mr Glad- stone which is being signed at the Reform Club is that of John Bright?

THE ODDFELLOWS' A.M.C. AT I GLOUCESTER. The A.M.C. of the Manchester Unity of Oddfellows at Gloucester did not complete its business until early on Saturday morning. The directors elected were Messrs Stockall, London, Woolstein, Wellington, Bytheway, Kidderminster, Campkin, Cambridge, Grimes, Birmingham, Walton, Southampton, Holmes, London, Lindsay, Salford, and Flowers, Norwich. The changes are that the two latter displace Messrs Cox and Pownall, who did not seek re-election. The persons chosen to have their portraits in next year's magazine were the Grand Master, Councillor East- wood, Blackburn, Messrs Ireland, Gloucester, Smith, London, and Waering, Leicester. A unity levy of Id per member, with an additional 6d if Stourbridge district qualifies for the relief, was voted by this meeting. Gloucester was selected to appoint the junior auditor. The usuai honorarium of 25 guineas was voted to the retiring Grand Master, and the u sual formal votes closed the proceedings.

PROTEST BY WELSH NONCON FORMISTS AGAINST COERCION. The following protest against the utterly nojustifi able policy of the Government in Ireland has been forwarded to the Marquis of Salisbury. The document was signed by no fewer than seventy-three gentlemen. It read as follows :—" We, the undersigned Nonconformist minis. ters of Breoonshire and Radnorshire, feel constrained to utter a respectful protest against the coercive policy of her Majesty's Government in the sister island. It seems to us futile in its operation, as it cannot possibly change the sentiments of a patriotic people. It is injurious in its effects, as it brings the law into con- tempt, makes martyrs of respectable men, and sows the seeds of bitter resentment against the English people. It is, moreover, despotic in its character, as it practically suppresses the right of public meeting and the freedom of the press. We beg te record our deep conviction that there is but one method of making Ireland contented and happy, and that is to respond to the aspirations of the people for a national Parliament, such as would not be incompatible with the integrity of the Empire." -—— )
