THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES. The following is an extract of a letter received on Tuesday morning from Mr. Davies, the agent of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company at Aden, dated the 20th ult.:—"HerMajesty's steamer Dalhousio arrived from Massowah on the 15th inst., latest date. She reports Captives cut off from the Emperor, both parties being surrounded by the rebels; no w ft.f their fallinc into his hands again. Another series was issued on Tuesday of the official corres- pondence that has taken place respecting theBritish captives in Abyssinia. Among a number of important despatches, we find one from tour Foreign Office, dated the 16th April, 1867, in which Lord Stanley wrote to his Majesty Theodore, King of Abyssinia:—"I am commanded by the Queen, my Sovereign, to state to your Majesty that she had expected to learn by this time that the prisoners, respecting whom her Majesty wrote to you on the 4th Oct. last, had been all released and had arrived at Massowah, and that the presents which were awaiting their arrival at Massowah were already on their way to Abyssinia. The Queen has forbidden her agents to enter into fur- ther correspondence on these matters. Her Majesty requires, for the last time, by her Secretary of State, that the prisoners should be made over to her, and she trusts that your Majesty will be sufficiently well advised to com- ply with her demand, rather than forfeit the friendship which, notwithstanding all that has happened, the Queen is still disposed to entertain for you. Having thus ful- filled the commands of the Queen, my Sovereign, I bid your Majesty heartily farewell." # It has been assumed that as, according to the Peninsular and Oriental Company's telegram, the Abyssinian pri- soners have changed hands, they will be at once liberated. A correspondent of the Morning Advertiser, who professes to have an intimate knowledge of Abyssinia and its people? throws doubt upon this supposition. He says that according to the latest accounts the prisoners were in Thabor, a fortress in the town of Magdala. This fortress is the stronghold of Theodore, and contains all his valua- bles, grain, money, and arms. Here also Theodore has deposited the cups, chalices, &c., stolen from the churches in his dominion. If he has from forty to fifty faithful adherents in the fortress they can hold it for years to come. The place is naturally very strong, and the rebels are destitute of field pieces and mortars, by which alone it can be taken. Supposing the rebels capture Thabor, it does not follow that they will free the captives, for the former are just as anxious to receive the ransom-money which has been already offered by our Government, as the Emperor and his followers wei>e. The chances are, that if Theodore is compelled to fly, a few of the most powerful of his folloWlers will join with the rebels and retain the prisoners in captivity, combining to make the same exorbitant demands as the Emperor himself has made for their release. Under these circum- stances the writer fears the position of the prisoners is not materially altered for the better, and that nothing short of a military aggression will procure their release. Mr. Rassam seems to entertain more hope. He predicted the gradual falling away of King Theodore's supporters, and reported that both at Magdala and at the Abyssinian Court "there was no lack of friends." The Standard be- lieves that in a few days we shall hear of the safety of our countrymen.

Carbiff Slnppmg JuteUtgjence. MARITIME INTELLIGENCE. There is no material change to note in the freight market. The chartering business remains very inactive, and things are still very quiet. Recent advices from India and China are not altogether satij-fjctory. At Bombay, on the 20tb ult., freights were nominally 35s.; at Calcutta, about 60s.; Madras, 50s. to 55s., for cotton Manilla, 60s.; Akyab and Rangoon, 67s. 6d., rice; Canton and Shanghai, 70s., tea. On this side a few vessels have been fixed to load at the rict ports, with the usual limit for arrival (January to April), at 62s. 6d. U.K.; 65s. Continent, or 2". 6d. more for small ves- sels, and this can still be obtained. There is also all opening for a few ships at 40s., Bombay to London or Liverpool 60s. Calcutta; 65s. to 70s. Jara to U.K. or Continent; Moul- mein 70s., teak. By last advices from Valparaiso, freights on the West Coast were miserably low, and with no immediate prospects of improvement. Several ships at Valparaiso have been chartered to load guano at the Chinchas for Mauritius, at 45s. to 47s. 6d per ton. The following are among the latest advices:—Wheat and flour, Valparaiso or Talcahuano Bay to Liverpool, 30s. nitrate, Iquique to the same port, 31s. 6d. Copper produce, Coquimbo to Cork, for orders for Liverpool or Swansea, 35s. The following are a few of the present homeward quota- tions :—Bahia or Pernambuco to United Kingdom, 40s. to 42s. 6d., sugar; lay days not to commence before 1st of'No- vember. Rio Grande to U.K., 47s. 6d. to 50s. per ton wet hides. Sulii.ah 10 U.K 6s. 9d. to 7s. per quarter wheat Danube to U.K., 10s. wheat. Constantinople, Enos, &c, 5s. 6d. to 6s. ditto. Smyrna, 5s. wheat, or 40s. per ton Va- lonia. Trieste, 5s. 3d. to 5s. 9d. per qr. wheat. Alexandria 4s. 6d. to 5s. per qr. beans. Coast of Syria, 5s. 3d. to 6.s Sicily to Liverpool, 18s. to 19s., U.K 22s., sulphur. Hueyra to Liverpool or Tyne, 14s., ore. We note that the Portuguese Government are about to decree the free importation of corn, on account of deficient harvest. The same course will, it is expected, be necessary in Spain. Agriculture, as well as commerce, is in a de- pressed state in the Peninsula. FROM THE BILL OF ENTRY OFFICE. EXPORTS. Destination Ship. Coal. Iron. Shippers. AUGUST 2.

On Thursday the ASSIZ J Cuwtat Maid-Uono was oii- gaged in trying anothir revoking <>a<e of murder. THE decomposed bmiy ui an unknown woman, a hawker ol laee*. was louuu in a 1 1 ine undör circumstances which left no doubt tmt she hud been brutally mur- dered. The person charged with the crime is a labourer, and is distinctly sworn to as having been near the spot IMtb tae deceased on the night when it is supposed the mtirdtir t"ook plaoe. The wftness was a married woman I who had gone to keep an assignation, and whose evi- dence it was, therefore, sought to discredit. The pri soner was acquitted last eveuing, as we leatn by tele- graph.

The following appeared in our SBCOND EDITION last week. GENERAL NEWS. The Times says: Although the Reform Bill has passed through Committee in the House of Lords, a> d on Monday the report will be received, we cannot help the apprehension that we have only r ached the end of the beginning. The Bill will go back to the House of Commons with three considerable alterations in it. The proposal to raise the qualification of the lodger franchise from £10 to jE15, if sanc'ioned by Parliament, would reduce the effect of the Bill in Metropolitan constituen- cies to nothing. The machinery of voting pap-rs again would pervert the process of elrction from free choice to corrupt or servile complaisance with the wishes of the rich and powerful. It is impossible that the ariisans of London can acquiesce in their exclusion. It is im- po-sible that the House of Commons CŒ approve the destruction of all real liberty in the choice of iepresenta- tives Even if it could be supposed that the Lower House of Parliament would sanction alterations such as these, they could not be permanent; but we look to a determined assertion on the part of the Commoos of their former decisions upen them. The Standard says the Bill will probably be read a third timb on Thursday, and the House of Commons may be expected to take the Lords' amendments into considera'ion on tha following Monday. The National Reform Union will hold a fourth Great Reform Meeting on Wtdnesday evening next—to pro- test against the amendments of the House of Lords re-p cting the lodger franchise, voting papers, and the three-cornered constituencies. The meeting will be ad- dressed by the following members of parliament: Mr. Goschen, Mr. T. Hughes. Mr. J. Stansfeld, and Mr. G. Dixon (the new member for Birmingham). The Dally News suspects that the Government relies on the la'eness of the season, on the dispersion and im- patience of members, and on the superior efficacy of the ministerial whip upon ils followers over the impulse of du'y in rallying the Opposition in the House of Com- mons. But the case is not an ordinary one; and it trusts that reliance on human and parliamentary in- firmities will be disappointed. The Telegraph says, either the House of Commons must rid the Bill of the disastrous amendments, or must meet the con-equences of the most signal political dis- appointment ever inflicted on the English people. The Queen's Prize in the competition of artillery volunteers at Shoeburyness has been won by the 4th de- tachment of the 4.th West Yorkshire, who hit the target four times out of five. Four other detachments hit it three times each, six hit it twice each, and the re- maing eighteen once each—not one detachment having missed alto^eth^r. Judgment in Overend, Gurney and Co's appeal case is postponed. The Morning Herald says, the report of Mr. McEvo)"s select committee recommends the repeal of the Eccle- siastical Tilles Act. and the recognition of Roman Catholic prelates by territorial titles not assumed by Bishops of the Established Church, and with addi- tional words identifying them as in communion with the Church of Rome. The report was carried by the casting vote of the chairman, six liberals voting in its favour, and six conservatives against it. A report pro- duced by Mr. Walpole denying that any practical grievance existed was rejected by the committee. Thr Telegraph says that if Mr. Chatterton. the Irish Attorney Gen ral, had been present, Mr. Walpole would have been uniformly victorious. The Advertiser says Mr. Coleridge was also unable to attend. Henry Roots, the man charged at Maidstone Assizes with the murder of a woman unknown, near that town, has been acquitted. The Advertiser says it is remoured there will be a call of the House for the consideration of the Lords amend- ments. ———

LOCAL NEWS. The REV. C. STARLING, of the English Baptist Meet- ing House, James-street, Bute Dacks, has received a hearty and unanimous invitation to become the minister of Brussels-strtet Church, jSt. John's, New Brunswick, with a salary of £300 a year to commence with. ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon a labourer, named Cornelius Sullivan, met ffith a severe injury to one of his legs whilst at work on the new chapel in Frederick- street. A block of free-stone fell upon him, and iujured his leg severely. He was conveyed to the Infirmary in a cab. MORTALITY.—The quarterly report of the Registrar General, just issurd, stales:—"In Wales and Monmouth- shire the mortality is still high, but it is lower than it was in the spring quarter of last year." ACCIDBNT — On Friday morning a lit'le girl, named Margaret Edgers, residing in Mill-lane, was knocked down and run over by a vegetable cart, drawn by a donkey, and driven by a man named James Young. Fortunately the child was found to be more frightened thrln burt. THE TOWN HALL.—Workmen are actively engaged in repairing and renovating the roof and exterior walls of the Town Hall, under the personal superintendence of Mr. Waring, the town surveyor. The Hall, not- withstanding its ornamental front, was so dingy and black with exposure to smoke and rain, that it was getting to be almost a discredit to a street in which so many handsome new buildings have been and are being erected. DEATH OF MRS. EMILY STEPHENS.—This well-known poftess, whose productions have appeared for many years in the corners of local journals, died on Monday at her residence, near Merthyr. She had been unwell for a long time, and thus no contributions from her pen have appeared for a lengthened period. LYNCH LAW AT NEWPORT.—On Friday evening con- siderable excitement prevailed in Dock-street, in conse- quence of a number of persons following a person (des- cibedasa Murphyite), and pelting him with stones, dirt, and anything they could lay their hands on, and had it not been for the interference of the police, there is not the slightest doubt the itinerant preacher would hive received such a punishment as he wou'd not very shortly have forgotten. It appear the foolish fellow saw Father Bailey, the Roman Catholic priest, in Cross- stroet, and his temper overcoming his prudence, he struck the teverend gentleman, which, was no sooner witnessed than the whole of the Irish population ro-e, as it were, en masse, and had not the man taken shelter within the precincts of the Athenaeum, and been guarded by the police, while Father Bailey was very assiduous in dispersing the mob, there is no doubt he would have received some violence at their hands.

HERiMAJESTY'S MINISTERS AT THE MANSION HOUSE. On Wednesday night a ma- uificent banquet was given by the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress to the Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and other Ministers of State. A distinguished company was invited to meet them. After dinner and the usual loyal toasts, the Lord Mayor proposed "His Excellency the Russian Minister and the Corps Diplomatique," to which Baron Brannow responded. Sir John Pakington replied on behalf of the Army, and Mr. Corry for the Navy. The principal toast of the evening was "The health of the Earl of Derby and her Majesty's Ministers." In responding, The Earl of DKBBT said: At the commencement of the present session, whether abroad or at home the political barometer decidedly pointed to U Stonn." Abroad there was every reason to apprehend that a war might break out which would involve the whole of Europe in a conflagration which, once commenced, no one knew when it would be brought to a conclusion. The danger was so imminent that statesmen quailed before the coming danger, and believed that no effort, however well intended-no exertions of whatever dption would succeed in •verting that great calamity. Happily, my Lord Mayor, not by interfering uncalled for in the f0t ,ot]ler countries, but by tendering when u J™0118 and wige and disinterested advice, Unas been the good fortune of her Majesty's present Ministers to contribute, with the assistance of other neutral Powers of the Continent, to ward off that great misfortune, and to preserve to Europe and the world the easing of peace. (Loud cheers.) You may rely upon it, so long as her Majesty's present advisers have the power of holding their places, there is no object to which their exertions will be more strenuously, more persever- ingly, more unceasingly, more disinterestedly devoted than to the maintenance of peace-(cheers)-and of friendly relations with all the Powers of Europe. (Cheers.) We are not a country which has anything to gain from extension of dominion or from increase of territory. Our interests are the interests of the world at large. They 1. e J^eresits of friendly relations throughout the Ami »v.i 1'Ki are 'kose of peaceful commerce and of Sih reU^ont t fnd «« the relations to the maintenance of which, so W, at all events, as I have the honour to hold office in her Majesty's councils, my atten- T 8t«5nuJoualT be directed. My Lord Mayor, at t-h» mention that the barometer pointed 2^rtJhffUIU,g °i to "Storm." I will not lim-i^nn w no clouda in the political ve^ure to say, that if we have «nint« mnr-o "v •*t all events the barometer KrUrL Fair than to "Change."

(Cheers.) For, my Lord WMI ia rne i-ory party unless it represents national feeling? (Renewed cheers.) If it does not represent national feeling, Toryism is nothing. It does not depend upon hereditary coteries of exclusive nobles it does not attempt power by attracting to itself the spurious force which may accidentally arise from advocating cosmo- politan principles or talking cosmopolitan jargon. (A laugh.) The Tory party is nothing unless it represents and upholds the institutions of the country. (Cheers.) For what are the institutions of the country? They are entirely, in theory, and ought to be entirely-as I am glad to see they are likely to be-in practice, the embodiment of the national necessities, and the only security for popular privileges. (Cheers.) Well, then, I cannot help Believing that because my Lord Derby and his colleagues have taken a happy opportunity to enlarge the privi- leges of the people of England, we have not done any- thing but strengthen the institutions of this country, the essence of whose force is that they represent the interests and guard the rights of the people. (Cheers.) Therefore, my Lord Mayor, I hope that on the part of the House of Commons, when, if it be my lot, as I trust it may, to return thanks in this hall on the part of that institution—not reformed, but renovated Of the legislation which I trust is on the eve of passing— I hope that when it devolves upon me to attempt to per- form that high«lutv, your lordship will then agree with us in the conviction which now animates us, that the measure which we have brought forward, and which I believe by general concurrence of the country, as with the general concurrence of Parliament, will be passed, has been such as has added strength to the State and spirit to the com- munity. My Lord Mayor, on the part of the House of Commons-nbt a condemned House of Commons, but a House of Commons that has frankly and generously offered to the people of this country a share in the pri- vileges of which they are proud, and of which they have availed themselves for the general benefit -I thank yon for the honour you have conferred upon them. (Cheers.)

MATRIMONIAL ARITHMETIC. The fashionable world in Paris is in raptures with the presents for a great marriage settled under peculiar cir- cumstances. The daughter of a richissime financier had noticed last winter, in high life, a young count, poor but intelligent, and very proud, who did not like to figure amongst the pretenders to her hand, lest he should not Erove acceptable to her father. The heiress was touched y his reserve. She induced her father to speak with him under one pretext or another, just to fathom his heart. The count impressed the financier with a deep sympathy, who addressed him thus:— What a pity you never studied financial questions. Had the case been such I should have been very happy to have called you my son-in-law." The Count did not utter a word. The financier continued: "I am pretty well sure that vou scarcely know that two and two make four." "Pardon me, air," replied the Count, "I know better than that; in your family two and two sometimes make twenty-two." Just the age of my daughter," said the banker, en- chanted with that arithmetical appreciation and he shook him by the hand, while offering that of his daughter. And in a very few days the Parisian fashionable world will possess a Countess more. whose corbeille and trcmsseau are awfully envied.

EXTRACTS FROM FUN. A FITTING QUESTION.—(The Cumulative Cap to the Reform Bill.)—Nurse Dizzy: "Oh yes! It may look beautiful—but I don't think our people at the other House will let our Bill wear it." A CIRCULAR NOTE.—An eminent mathematician, who was solved the problem of "squaring the circle," is now engaged in defining the exact circumference of "the round of the papers." AN ARDUOUS TASK !—Fair Invalid: "Lor, Jane, I do feel that bad Do, please, make me a tumbler o' brandy- and-water, aa hot and strong as you can—and—and jute make me take it whether I will or no!" STRIKE, BUT HEAR !—A friend of ours possesses sucn a patent safety disposition, that nothing short of a blow will disturb his equanimity in fchort, he ignites onlj on the box." A BRIGHT-'UN.—Blind Tom is announced as giving concerts at Brighton. We are not surprised, for of course in visiting Brighton he goes there to sea. If he could but get on the sea-side of his public no doubt he would be happy. THE REFORM BILL—Mr. Disraeli's democratic measure of Reform ia already bearing fruit. The elections at Birmingham and Coventry show that revolution is already at work. The electors of those boroughs were offered a Lloyd and a Frrand-they rejected them for the sons of Dick and Jack What next ? COURTLY LANGUAGE.—It is time that courtly language should be looked to. In the "Early Years of the Prince Consort" we find a distinguished personage speaking of a "mutual grandmother," because, we suppose, it would be rude to say a common grandmother," like an ordinary mortal. The other day, too, the Court Circular, in one of its leaders, stated that it would have been an unprofitable occupation for "the Attorney or Solicitor-General to have employed their time in conducting actions," &c. Perhaps the editor of the C. C. or the leader-writer will profitably occupy their time in studying English grammar, or, at least, the part relating to disjunctive conjunctions.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THURSDAY. In the House of Lords, Earl Grey moved his a mend(ll extending the redistribution scheme of the GovernmePø- proposed that boronghs with a population of 12,000, future return only one member each. By the adop. this plan twelve seats would be gained, and by a 5Y!, grouping, which the noble earl intended to propose. more would be obtained, making twenty-three in proposed to give three seats to the Inns of Court, and member to all counties and divisions of counties and boL having more than 150,000 inhabitants. The Earl threatened that if the amendment were carried, he ¡ move that the chairman report progress, in order t might consult his colleagues as to the course they L pursue. A long, interesting, and animated debate fo I and upon a division the amendment was defeated by j jority of 12. Lord Lyveden then moved an amendfejj disfianchising boroughs with a less population tha" which, upon a division, was rejected. { In the House of Commons, Mr. McCullagh Torrell notice that when the Reform Bill, as amended, the House, he should move a resolution for retai"11^ lodger franchise at £ 10. Mr. Monsell brought for** j subject of the Irish railways, and it was elicited fr< J Naas that the Government was not indisposed to t*l consideration the question of their purchase by the St* j it was necessary, first of all, that an active, searchin^> rigid inquiry should be instituted inte their financi* pects and actual condition.

He was the House of Commons might have the opporlllllpot again considering the question.

TWO PUBLIC COMPANIES. Sir Sydney Waterlow has just presided over the half- yearly meeting of the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company. The report stated that the total subscribed capital amounted to 281,225, of which £11,450 had come in since the last meeting. Six blocks of buildings were being erected on the Britannia Park estate. Two blocks of buildings were also nearly completed at Greenwich. An agreement had been entered into for the purchase, on the most favourable terms, of a valuable freehold estate of nine acres at Bethnal-green, which was at present partly covered by some hundreds of old dilapidated houses and cottages. Arrangements were in progress by which the company would be enabled to lay out the district upon an improved plan, and to erect on part of the estate Beveral blocks of buildings. The whole of the company's dwel- lings had been fully occupied during the past half-year, and there was still a constant pressure on the part of applicants for vacancies. The directors recommended the payment of a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum. The report was adopted, and the dividend was ordered to be paid. We opine this is a better form of investment every way than a foreign loan. Not quite so satisfactory was the gathering of snare- holders of the Exhibition Palace Company of Dublin. This concern, which was ushered into existence some few years ago, is in a hopelessly declining state. Sir Benjamin Guinness, who presided over the meeting, had to announce the melancholy fact that the company owed no less a sum than £ 33,000 to the Royal Bank. The report recommended that the shareholders should authorise the raising of a sum of C30,000 in preference shares of 6 per cent., to rank in priority over the original capital of the company, and if a sufficient fund should not be subscribed within one month from the present date, that the board be authorised to sell all the property of the company for the payment of its debts. Several shareholders objected to this course, as they believed that if a different system of management were adopted there was sufficient vitality in the concern to tide over all their difficulties. Ultimately an amend- ment was proposed and carried appointing a committee of shareholders to investigate the affairs of the company.

SPEECBMAKING IN CONGRESS. The final adjournment of the summer session of Congress at the elose of last week was very gratifying to the country, for it relieved business men from all apprehension that there would be further tinkering at the finances. The Supplementary Reconstruction Bill was most hastily passed over the President's veto, with scarcely an hour's debate in either House; for this is the treatment all his vetoes now receive, as he is in the unenviable position of a ruler with scarcely a friend in Congress. The Republicans oppose him because he deserted them, while the Demo- crats are dissatisfied with him because he makes no attempt to use his power to enforce his policy. His doctrines are only written and spoken, never carried out. The short summer session was a constant scene of quarrelling between the rival Republican leaders, each trying to outwit the other. A great amount of speech- making from the members is reported in the Globe, the official register of the debates, but then it is darkly hinted that the majority of these speeches are prepared by the professional speech-writers at Washington, who supply Congressmen with addresses in any style, on any subject, for a fee ranging from $25 to $100. This business of Bpeech-writing is carried on to a great extent, and much of the brains the members get credit for belong to some one else. Our Congress, certainly, gets off a vast deal of oratory, and to observers from abroad appears in some of its phases quite strangely. A Quebec newspaper- has a correspondent at Washington, who, after visiting the Senate Chamber, described the various novelties in legisla- tion that he saw, and summed up his observationt in the opinion that the Senate is a wise, witty, wily, and some- what grotesque association of human being&Times Correspondent.

STATE OF MEXICO AFTER THE SIEC;E. A correspondent of the Scotsman describes the terrible scenes whioh took place in the city of Mexico between the 21st and the 28th of June. The first thing done was to issue an order similar to that promulgated at Quere- taro, calling on all persons who had in any way been con- nected with the Empire to surrender themselves within ♦ v nty-four hours, and proclaiming that all such per- > ns found after the expiration of that time should Le shot. The twenty-four hours being expired, parties of soldiers were sent through every street, and caused to search every house. The Imperialist who was found concealed, no matter what hi3 rank, was at once executed. All day long, fcr seven d's, the volleys of musketry were heard, and the stones of almost every street were stained with blood. While this was going on, the convents of the city, in which were between 800 and 900 nuns, were seized, the nuns driven out from their homes, and the soldiers quartered in their cells. Then came an order prohibiting any priest to appear in the street, and imposing a tax varying from $100 to $500 upon each member of the clergy. And his being all Accomplished, the work of systematically plun- dering the people of what Marquez had left them was commenoed. It was hard work to make much from thj" source, as Marquez had already pumped them dry but it was tried, and up to the end of June the experiment wai *till goin.- on.

ECHOES FROM THE CLUBS." The Universities contemplate investing Mr. Beales (M.A.) with the honorary degree of LI..1)., on account If his eminent knowledge of the law of trespass, and of com- mon and civil law. In addition to these honours, he will urobably be called to the House of Lords all Lord Hyde Park, on the recommendation of the Earl of Derby, to reward his great services to the cause of Reform. We understand that Lord Clinton has accepted the office of Under Secretary of State for ludia, rendered vacant by the appointment of Sir James Fergusson to the Under- Seoretaryship of the Home Office. The Queen has expended £4,000 on the restoration of the Savoy Chapel, the ancient place of worship so famous in hiatory in connection with the palace of the Dukes of Lancaster. The cbapells open every day from eleven to one, and, by the Bpecial command of the Queen, all the seats are free. The interior decorations, which are very extensive, have been carried out in perfect good taste under the especial direction of her Majesty, who has been kept constantly acquainted with the progress of the works by a series of photographs, giving her an exact and minute representation of the internal decorations and alterations effected at her own private expense

SCALPINGS FROM THE TOMAHAWK. REGULATIONS FOR THE REPOKTERS' GALLERY. We have been requested to publish the following list of cc names" henceforth to be considered "unparliamentary in the Reporters' Gallery at Westminster :— Gentlemen of the press are informed that they must. not call The Marquis of Westmeath, a confounded old idiot.' Mr. Whalley, a bawling bigot." Mr. Bernal Osborne, "a bad edition of Joe Miller." Mr. J. Bright, a popularity-hunting demagogue." Mr. D. Griffith, "a fussy nobody." The Marquis Townshend, a second-rate philanthro- pist, and a tenth-rate walking gentleman.' Mr. J. S. Mill, "an old woman for the ladies." Mr. Goschen, "a statesman very likely to set the Thames on fire*" Viscount Amberley, a naughty boy." Mr. Tom Hughes, "the novelist of the age," and— Mr. Disraeli, an unmitigated humbug." Several members of the House of Commons have recently complained that they do not know where to meet the Council of the Reform League, unless a room be pro- vided for their use at Westminster. We can help them out of their difficulty. Why don't they invite their friends to meet them at the St. Martin's Baths and Washhouses ? It is just the spot for tubs Mr. Whalley and his colleagues, who—Holywell-street Saving been purified—are obliged to sell their dirty books in the street, and who are for some reason or other we suppose not amenable to the law, are as logical in their conduct as they are in their arguments. They declare that these questions put in the Confessional are calculated to corrupt innocent minds they therefore translate them from a dead language, understood but by very few women, into the vulgar tongue, and then hawk them about the street, and gwe them as much publicity as possible. And this they do in the cause of religion! A cartoon in the Tomahawk this week is likely to attract as much attention as one which appeared ashort time ago. It is entitled" A Brown Study." The chief figure is a Highlander, who is represented standing with his right arm on the throne, while immediately behind his left hand —the arm akimbo—is placed the crown. He is portrayed in a pensive attitude, contemplating the British lion, which is repaying his attentions with an anxious regard, and in a somewhat fawning attitude.

A CURIOSITT OFSUICITJE,—The papers record a case of suicide which exceeds in eccentricity even that of the young fellow who destroyed himself on the ground that born a man he could not reconcile himself to live a grocer." The suicide in this instance was a youth of 20, who killed him- self by running several dozens of pins into his chest, and died from loss of blood; he left a letter on his table, saying his life was not worth a pin, and that he had adopted this unusual mode of terminating it, because he thought it viquant I—Paris Correspondent of the Standard. CHARGE OF INTIMIDATING WORKMEN.—At the Nottingham Police-court, on Tuesday, seven men, named Frederick W ellmot J. Johnson, Robert Bignall, George Bradford, William Grundy, William Brown, and William Bucknell, lacemakers, were summoned before the Mayor and sitting magistrates, on the charge of intimidating Thomas Roe, a lacemaker in the employ of Messrs. Hardy and Galloway, and endeavouring to force him to leave his work. Mr. Parsons appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cranch for the defence. After some discussion had taken place it was resolved by consent on both sides to adjourn the case until the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench was known in the matter of the operative tailors'strike in London, the defendants and Mr. West, the secretary of the Lacemakers' Trade Union at Nottingham, undertaking that neither the complainant nor any other workman in Messrs. Galloway and Hardy's employ in the meantime should be picketed, followed home, or molested. THE UTILISATION OF THE SEWAGE. — The Sewage Utilisation Act of 1867, for facilitating the dis- tribution of town sewage for agricultural purposes, has just been printed, as passed by the House of Commons. Local Boards may provide any works for receiving, storing, disinfecting, or distributing sewage within their respective districts, and in districts where no local boards exist a special authority may be created for the purpose. Such boards or authorities may purchase any requisite lands, and for agricultural objects may lease lands for a period not exceeding seven years, or may contract to share the produce, or farm it and dispose of the produce. Different districts may unite foe these ends. Authorities under the Aot may also agree to contribute to any outlay an the part of private capitalists or public companies for carrying sewage plans into execution, and, as regards companies, may become shareholders. All assessments under the Act are to be included in the poor rates. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE. The Edinburgh Courant reports a painful occurrence which has just taken place near Blairgowrie. The following are the particulars. The wife and family of Mr. G. C. Myers, town clerk of Montrose, are at present residing at Greengait House New Rattray, and Miss Jane Myers, aged 24, one of the daughters, is the subject of the sad occurrence. It is said she left the house about seven o'clock on Thursday morn- ing. About four o'clock in the afternoon some visitors to Craighall, while walking in the grounds above the house, noticed something like a female dress at the foot of the rocks on the opposite side, about the steepest and most dangerous part of what is called" Craigliocb." By the help of an opera-glass it was seen to be a woman. Some of Miss Myers's own friends were among those who dis- covered her, and no time was lost in getting to the place, which was a matter of some difficulty. A ferryboat be- longing to the place was used but some of the parties stripped themselves and waded across the channel. On coming to the spot the lady was soon identified. She had fallen over a dreadful precipice of nearly 2110 feet, and was lying helpless and severely hurt among the debris and nettlfS which grew wildly there. On being spoken to he seemed quite sensible, and answered questions that were her. With great difficulty she was carried across the stream and taken to the walks on the Craighall side. Colonf-l Rattray waa present, and despatched one of his servants in a gig for Dt-. 1Haclaren, v/ho was taken to t110 spot with an haste and attended to the case. Â tempo- rary c<lch was made, and :r.IiS8 Myers was carried honle, when it was found that her right ankle was dislocated, and her head awd face considerably cut and bruiBed by the fearful fall. It is said she passed a moderately easy night, anrl, considering the height from which she muet barye /alien, she ia in a favourable condition.

THE RHYMNEY ALLEGED MURDER. The inquest on the body of Martha Thomas, who was found dead in an abandoned pit some weeks ago, has been again adjourned. After several witnesses bad been examined, the evidence of some tending to show that Protheroe, the sweetheart of the girl, who is suspected of having thrown her into the pit, was in the vicinity of the pit, or seen going towards it, about the time of the woman's disappearance, and the evidence of others going to support the alibi which Protheroe set up, and which he has detailed in an elaborate diary for the period covered by the woman's disappearance—after hearing the witnesses, the jury held a consultation with the Coroner, and on the public being again admitted, the Coroner observed that the inquiry had been a careful and anxious one, and it was thought desirable to postpone it again. The next inquiry stands for the 6th August. The Coroner said he quite concurred with the jury that the evidence implicating Protheroe could not be disre. garded. Some of the points were certainly strong. The alibi set up by Protheroe, as far as the Cefn witnesses were coneerned, was not satisfactory. It was therefore, under all these circumstances, his duty to order that Protheroe should be taken into custody by the Brecon- shire constables. Protheroe was accordingly taken into custody. Berrides the diary before mentioned—in which Protheroe recounts every house he called at and every person be spoke to, with a most singular and suspicious minuteness—as if he had been consciously preparing at the time to prove an alibi—Protheroe has addressed a letter to the Bishop of Llandaff and the magistrate, coroner, and police superintendent of the district, in which be says:—" I tell you before God, the searcher of all secrets, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, tbe un erring judge of me and all mankind, that the above contains a faithful statement of all my hours from Tuesday the until Wednesday the 19th ef June. I have no other statement to make without telliDg an untruth, and I my body and soul to be for ever in bell, under the eternal vengeance and wrath of God Almighty, if I was nearer to Rhymney than Dowlais, Mt-rthyr, and Cafn, fiom the hour I parted from Nant- lesk parsonage on Tuesday morning until I returned Wednesday evening. AH those persons, I tell you be- fore God, that swear they saw me at Prince Town on Tuesday, and on the railroad on Wednesday, and by the Big Pond, and top of Dowlais, all these I swear to you before God, are downright wilful lies they never saw me there then, and I should never wish to see the light of the sun, but to be for ever under the displeasure of Almighty God, it I am not ceitaiu 1 am speaking the real truth."
