LONDON GOSSIP. There is no sism of extinction in our royal family, at all events. The Duke of Albany was made a husband on April 27th; he is a father on February 25th. Everybody rushes to congratulate him as the cleverest and most intellectual of his brothers, and the Princess as one of the most popular of the Queen's daughters-in- law. The Queen has now twenty-six grandchildren, of whom only two, the children of the Princess Royal, are married, but both of whom have issue. At this rate, if the monarchical system lasts, we shall soon be able to give monarchs to the world. While nearly all other royal families are dying out, the Guelphs are rapidly increasing. A new use has been found for an old weed. Not only are they making the most extraordinary things out of paper, but they are making paper out of the most extraordinary things. The new raw material is to be the nettle. It seems it has a very stringy, un- yielding kind of stalk, and that the fibre is almost as tough as flax. So we are to have nettle plantations for the new industry. Some farmers may think that there is already a very fair stock in hand that only wants the reaping. But unfortunately the nettle that may be mac;e into MSS. is not of the stinging kind. It is the vrtka with the white blossoms. Otherwise the bringing in and handling of the crop might be attended with inconvenience. With nettles for paper and sunflowers for soap, we seem to be on the eve of great novelties in the application of old flowers to new manufacturers. The Liberals expect to win Mid-Cheshire, which is vacant by the elevation of the Hon. Wilbraham Eger- ton to the Upper House. In 1880 they fought against odds. Only one district in the county was organised, and that was organised badly. Since then they have worked hard and unremittingly and they have now an organisation which covers the whole county. They will perhaps do well to select Mr George William Latham as their candidate. He knows the constitu- ency, and the constituency knows him and the old battle may be taken up again with vigour. At the same time, one hears that the stress of the previous political struggle was not unaccompanied by some alienations, which it is to be hoped the Liberals will earnestly seek to heal. The Tory candidate will certainly be the Hon. Alan de Tatton Egerton, son of the deceased and brother of the living peer. Mr Egerton is not yet thirty-eight years of age. He was ecfucated at Eton, but seems never to have gone to a university. He is married to a niece of the Marquis of Tweeddale. His country seat is at Taplow. He is said to be not a very strong politician, Conservative by instinct and training but not by profound conviction not a speaker, not a student of public life, but what is generally described as a good sort of a fellow. At Cannes on Saturday there died one of those men whom England alone produces, and whose existence is a marvel to continental nations. Mr W. S. S. Craw- furd. the husband of the Duchess of Montrose, and one of our leading sportsmen of the day, is gone. A Scotsman of great wealth, a university man, a magis- trate, and a deputy-lieutenant for county Lanark, he gave up the whole of his energy and devoted his great talents to horse-racing. His greatest boast was that in 1878 he won the Derby with Sefton. His engross- ment in his pursuit may be guessed from the fact that not long ago he paid 9,000 gs. for the stallion Isonomy. He owned at the time of his death the horse Macheath, which is one of the favourites for the coming Derby. His death leaves a great void in the racing world, and will perhaps have the effect of withdrawing that Amazon turfite the Duchess of Montrose from a mode of life which has never failed to excite astonishment. Her Grace was almost as much of a sportsman as her hnsband, and her figure was rarely absent from a big race. Unless she now takes over her husband's stud and works it on her own account, she will have trained herself for this singular role only to cease to act when she had gained all her knowledge. At the same time it is not ungallant to remark that she is sixty-five years of age, and theivfoie may be allowed to retire from the turf without its being suggested that she has prematurely given up the loved employment of her life. That nothing would be done in Parliament before Easter was said in January, but that the prospect would be so very cheerless on February 27th was liardh* believed. In the ensuing three weeks it is feared that we shall have nothing save the supple- mentary estimates and a succession of wrangles. On "Tuesdav an inconvenient and not particularly pressing motion was defeated. The continuance of the debate on the address puts an end to all ehancc of Mr Lewis Fry's Off License Bill being dealt with on Wednesday. It is doubtful whether supply will be taken on Thurs- day and unless Mr Gladstone, when he returns on Thursday, can set things right and clear the way, the Mock will become serious. Meanwhile there is no lack of subjects for Parliament to deal with. The Scotch members have a new OHO, vVithout waiting for any general measure on the subject, they are pre- paring to deal themselves with local option for Scot- land. When they do move they are not easily beaten, and one need not be surprised it local option for Scot- land becomes the measure of the year.

Jfront the papers. s The house at Ecclefeclian in which Carlyle was born has been purchased by his niece, Mrs Carlyle. The Duchess of Albany gave birth to a daughter at seven o'clock on Sunday evening, at W indsor Castle. The personal estate of the late Earl of Wemyss in England and Scotland has been proved to amount to more than £ 480,000. It is three years since the Irish Militia were last called out. The determination of the Government to call them out in the ensuing year is regarded as a strong mark of confidence in restored order in Ireland. The poll in Newcastle-on-Tyne, which took place on Saturday, resulted in the return of Mr John Morley (Liberal), with a majority over his Conservative opponent of 2,256. A female inmate of the South Dublin Union last week was found to be possessed of Government Stocks to the amount of £ 900, and the Board decided to relieve her of the money by way of loan, as she was too ill to be discharged. The Manchester police have succeeded in apprehend- ing the man known as Jack, but also called Pat Carey, who was wanted for the double murder at Smallwood, near Sandbach. He has been hiding in Manchester since forty-eight hours subsequent to the crime. A parcel, containing six ounces of dynamite, with a fusee attached, addressed to Earl Spencer, has been dropped into the post-office of Ballydehob, county Cork. The dangerous packet was discovered by the sub-postmaster before the despatch of the mail. At one o'clock on Saturday morning some consterna- tion was created in the House of Commons by the dis- covery of a stranger in the gallery with his hat on. The outrage remained unchecked for some time, the attendants beincf under the impression that he was a new member. When called to order the stranger ex- plained that he saw gentlemen "down there" wearing their hats, and he thought the custon might be general. An American papertpublishes intelligence from Log- ging Camp, Michigan, according to which a lumberman at that place having decapitated one of his fellow- workers with an axe. the other lumbermen seized and hanged the murderer. Subsequently, however, a neighbouring party who were friends of the murderer made an attack on the lumbermen who had lynched him, and a general fight ensued, in which seven men were killed. This is the place for active" emigrants. Lord Egerton, of Tatton, Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, died on Wednesday evening week at Tatton Hall, from an attack of bronchitis. His Lordship, who was in his seventy-seventh year, had been in failing health for some time, but latterly had appeared much better. When seized with bronchitis medical aid was summoned, but without avail, and his Lordship passed quietly away. He is succeeded in the title by the Hon. Wilbraham Egerton, the senior Conservative member for Mid-Cheshire, and a vacancy is thus caused in the representation of that division. At Monastberston, near Nottingham, a man, named Askard has for some time cohabited with a married woman called Matilda Waplington. On Saturday night James Johnson, her brother, who has recently returned from Australia, hired a cab from Nottingham, and drove to the house where the couple resided. The driver of the cab noticed that Johnson had a revolver, and suspecting mischief he drew the attention of a police inspector to the circumstance as soon as Johnson had left the vehicle. The officer proceeded to the house, and on nearing it he heard shots, and on enter- ing found Askard shot through the left lung. and the woman through the leg. A third person in the house had also been shot at, but luckily escaped. Johnson was arrested in the bedroom. The depositions of Askard,who is in a desperate condition, have been taken. An extraordinary insurance claim, which has occu- pied Justice Denman and a special jury at Leeds assizes eight days, concluded last week. The plaintiff, Mr John Charnley, was lately an extensive silk manu- facturer at Horsforth, and he claimed from the Scottish Union and Mutual Fire Insurance Companies between £20,000 and £ 30,000 under two policies of insurance effected on his mill, in which two fires broke out on the 18th July, 1881, the second of which destroyed it. Both sides agreed that the fires were the work of an incendi- ary, but defendants alleged that the plaintiff instigated them also that his claim was fraudulent. In support of this, James Harling, the plaintiff's manager, was called, who said he fired the mill at Charnley's instiga- tion. The plaintiff utterly denied this. The jury awarded plaintiff 920,296i and the Judge expressed opinion that the Public Prosecutor should prosecute Harling, who was arrested on a charge of deserting his wife and family. An interesting presentation took place on Friday afternoon at Trinity School, Swan-street, Borough. A short time since one of the girls, just before afternoon school began, accidentlly set fire to her apron, and in her fright rushed from the class-room, and made her way along the passage leading into the street. By the time she had reached the door she was enveloped in flames. A young man named Harry Williams, a tin- worker, on his way to his work, was passing the school gate, and rushed in to the rescue of the girl. Throwing his coat around her, he effectually extin- guished the fire. The girl's preserver disappeared without having given anyone an opportunity of even thanking him, but after some little time he was dis- covered, and the managers, in appreciation of his con- duct and valuable services at a critical time, invited him to the school on Friday afternoon, and presented him with a timepiece. The presentation was made by the rector, the Rev D. A. Moullin, and the boys heartily cheered the recipient as he left the room. Judgment was given in Paris last week in the extraordinary case of an ex-officio suit for nullity of several marriages solemnised some years ago at the mayoralty of Montrouge, a Paris suburb. The code exacts that the marriages must be performed first by the mayor, or, in his absence, by one of the assistant mayors, and in default by the senior municipal coun- cillor. The Montrouge mayor, taking a hcAiday and loosely construing the law, delegated his authority to Councillor Standruy, the twenty-first on the list, and this functionary assumed to join together many honest couples who it now appears are not married at all. The court rules that the articles of the code are strictissimi juris, and that no note can be taken of hardship and the bona fides of the parties. The marriages are declared void, and the spouses, unless they go through a fresh ceremony, are not bound to each other but there is a benevolent clause in the law by which children already born are not deemed illegi- timate. Last week the marriage of Mr Alfred Barnes, J.P., brother of Mr Thomas Barnes, J.P.. chairman of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company Directo- rate, and Miss Georgiana Topp, sister of Mr Alfred r t Topp, J.P., took place at the Market-street Congre- gational Chapel, Farnworth, near Bolton, when there was a large and fashionable attendance. A number of organ pieces had been played by Mr Eccles (organist), the choir had sung The voice that breathed o'er Eden," and the ceremony commenced, when a sad and distressing occurrence took place. The bride, who had displayed a painful nervousness, had just had the ring placed on her finger, when she fainted, and had to be removed to the vestry by her brother. Ten minutes of painful suspense occurred, during which the utmost sympathy for the friends was expressed by the large congregation present. The Rev. W. Hewgil, who officiated, then announced that the remainder of the ceremony might be gone through without the atten- dance of the bride, and this course was adopted. Ultimately Mrs Barnes recovered, and the wedding party were conveyed to the bride's residence. The last issue of the London Gazette shows that the number of bankruptcies and liquidations of liquor sellers, variously described as licensed victuallers, hotel keepers, wine and spirit merchants, &c., was the largest of all the trades and professions, being three times the number of those of drapers, fifty per cent. more than either builders or grocers, and in the pro- portion of twelve to one of bakers. Of seven London taverns of the approximate value of over 930,000 offered for sale on one day last week, not one was sold, all of them being either bought in or withdrawn. Not long since an hotel that cost £ 32,000 only brought an offer on auction of £ 7,500. There are thirty public- houses within half a mile of Liverpool Custom-house closed, and tenants cannot be found to go in lor nothing, as it is stated by the brewers' association that the houses would not pay the cost of rent, taxes, and licence duties. The newly affirmed unreserved magisterial control over all licences recently described in the Times as "a new cause for the decline in value of public-house property from its present far from flourishing state, appears rapidly to be producing its natural effect. On Saturday, an inquest was held at Stockport on the body of James Moore, stripper and grinder, who was found unconscious on the morning of the 13th February at Meadow Mill, owned by Messrs J. and J. Leigh, cotton spinners, where he was employed. The jury returned a verdict of "wilful murder" against John Robert Price, who has now made to the police a full confession of his crime. From his statement it would appear that the tragedy is one of a particularly painful and revolting character. In the first place, Price says he murdered the wrong man. He intended to kill somebody else. It appears the accused was anxious to get the place of a man named Bentley, who is engaged at the mill, and whose duty it is to remain at the mill after the other hands have left. On the night df the tragedy the deceased remained instead of Bentley. Price went into the mill armed with an axe, and struck the man he supposed to be Bentley a terrible blow on the head. Afterwards he hit the poor fellow again and again, literally hacking him to death. In his confession the prisoner states distinctly, "I did not mean it for Jemfcny Moore. I didn't know that I had done what I had done to him." The case has caused great excitement, particularly amotigst the operatives of the district.

lEitcrittttvc. A HISTORY OF ENGLAND AND WALES from the Roman to the Norman Conquest, with notes and tables from original authorities, by T. Morgan Owen, M.A., Gold Medallist, Cluff (open university) Prizeman, &c. (London, George Philip and Son, Fleet-street).—This interesting work has reached a second edition which, the author says, differs in a few particulars from the first, and by giving additional information on several points. This edition has also the advantage of a mar- ginal index, a list of leading events, &c. The volume, which is well printed and neatly got up, contains several maps showing the division of the country at different periods of its history. The style in which the history is written is so easy that the reader is taken onward from the beginning to the end of the book as if he were reading a novel. The main stream of history is followed, the author resisting temptations to pursue by paths however alluring they may be. The book contains 228 pages and has the peculiar merit of leaving the reader anxious to make fuller acquaintance with the subject treated by its author. Wherever authorities are quoted they are referred to in the notes so that the reader is able to test at once the value of any statement, and if so disposed has the means placed in his hands of following up the subject. The referencc-s in the notes to authors of different kinds are themselves an excellent euide to anyone desirous of acquiring detailed knowledge of which Mr Morgan Owen's history is an interesting epitome. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF WALES MAGAZINE. (Aber- ystwyth: J. Gibson.)—This magazine has reached the third number of the fifth volume, and shows no sign of declension. Mr. T. J. Williams, the editing secretary, on whom Mr. J. J. Waller let fall his mantle, dis- charges his office with credit to himself and with plea- sure to his readers. In the February number the secre- tary's father, Judge B. T. Williams, contributes sound advice on the choice of a profession; Mr. W. Jenkyn Jones narrates a visit to Carnac; Mr. R. J. Williams supplies interesting information on the Festiniog slate quarries; Mr. J. 0. Jones continues his biographical sketch of Two Thebans and the remaining pages post students past and present, as well as outsiders, up in the recent science intellegence and the doings of the college. THE RED DRAGON. (Cardiff: Daniel Owen & Co.)— The February number of the Red Dragon, the national magazine of Wales, edited by Mr. Charles Wilkins, I justifies its national character and contains subject matter which should secure for it a wide circle of Welsh readers. If there is any fault in the magazine it is that there are too many articles dealing with anti- quarian matters, and that it does not cover North as well as South Wales as a really national magazine should do. The contents are Notable Men of Wales (James Howell). by G. I-I. "Of High Degree," by Charles Gibbon Beside the Sea, by Tylke Welsh Character Sketches, by Ap Adda Out in the Snow Ploughing with Oxen in Glamorganshire, by T. C. Evans Welsh Poetry in English Dress, by Tegid How Cholera spread in Wales Welsh Origin of Latin Place-names, by I. G.
