( LONDON GOSSIP. (From Muytair.) "Disraeli Pasha" is the last new title conferred upon the Premier of England. I am told the happy thought originated with Baron Dowse. 1 hear that at a fashionable club, famous for its gami) ling, a scion of a noble house was the other night pitched out of window, with an ace up his sleeve. He is going to fight for the Turks. Lady Edwin Hill Trevor met with a serions misfortune at the evening party at the Foreign Office the other night. Her ladyship lost an oval brooch, in the silver setting of which gleamed thirty diamonds, some of considerable size. "Should this meet the eye, &c. her ladyship will be glad to reoeive a communication. I may mention, as additional proof of the determination :>f the Government to be prepared for any and every emergency that may arise out of the Eastern Question, that a complete system of semaphore signals has been established along the Welsh coast. This seems like a return to the old system. But that system has one advan- a.ge-it cannot be cut as telegraph wires may. The return of the Hon. F. Hanbury-Tracy adds another name to the long list of bachelors in Parliament, where bhey bear a large proportion to the Benedicts, considering that the average age of the 600 odd members is somewhat advanced. I could mention the names of seventeen off hand before exhausting the alphabet as far as J, the list including the leader of the Oppo- lition, Sir H. James, the Hon. H. Cowper, and Sir George Bowyer. Another large section of membprs are widowers, so that the ladies really have some grounds for complaining that they are not sufficiently represented in the Legislature. Lord Cork is going to take his revenge for the attack of Lord Harry Thynne and his Conservative supporters during the Frome election. Fortune has placed in his hands a splendid piece of patronage, by the diath of Mr. Lovell, Clerk of the Peace for Somersetshire. His lordship, it is said, intends to exercise his prerogative as Lord-Lieutenant for the benefit of one of his political friends. Mr. Dnnn, of Frome, is believed to be the lucky guceessor to Mr. Lovell's wig and gown and £1,800 a-year. Mr. Dunn is not only a solicitor, but the Liberal agent in Frome, a borough which lately returned the Liberal Mr. Samuelson, in the place of the Conservative Mr. Justice Lopes. (From tne World.) The Hon. Leslie Ruthven, who has just died, was the moving spirit of the well-known firm of bankers and brewers at Windsor, Massi-s. Nevile, Reid, and Company, and as a handler of the ribbons might even be considered one of the sights to be seen at the hoise cf the Queen. Prince Christian and the Lord Chamberlain were among the mourners at the deceased gentleman's funeral; and by the special desire of Madame Van de Weyer, he was buried side by side with her husband, the late Belgian Minister. The Prince of Orange is in town. Is it for the Derby: or for an operation which is freely fpoken of in the City amongst Mosaic people and money-men? A propos of Mosaicism, I am told that one of the favourites for the Derby really belongs to Moses. Did I know what horse it is, I should certainly back him. What an advertise- ment if he should win! Lieutenant-Colonel C. B. Brackenbury, superintendent of garrison instruction, on the general staff of the army with the rank of assistant adjutant-general, has been granted two months' leave of absence, in order that he may proceed to the head-quarters of the Russian Army of the Danube as military correspondent of the Times. And a still more curious fact is that, while permission tc occupy the Russian head quarters has been refused to our military attache,Lieutenant-Colonel Wellesley, Lieutenant- Colonel Brackenbury has received that permission. I should like to know how that little affair was squared at home and abroad. No, no the Crown must not on any account affect to nod at indecorum. And it is, as I understand, out of sheer deference to the proprieties that the ;en has commanded Signor Gayarré to accom- pany Madame Adelina Patti t.o Buckinghttt Palace, to take part in the State concert on the 6th of next month. Signor Gayarr6 goes in place of Signor Nicolini, who, however, has received instead the R wal summons to sing at the second State concert, three weeks later, in company with Mdlle. Albani and Madame Scalchi, and without the Marquise. The queen of primt donne, it must be borne in mind, is not yet, according to the Code Napoleon, dishusbanded, A story-which it is difficult to credit, yet in which every ciicumstantial detail of names and dates is given— is afloat in society in Paris. It is said that while the Duke of Edinburgh was at Nice, he took, for some reason which Paris is vainly seeking, a French officer of high rank into his confidence, unburdened himself to him of complaints as to the manner in which the Duchess had been received in England, related how she had been interfered with in the organisation of her very household, and said it was impossible for her to stay in England while England is so mad over the Russian scare and added, For my part I cannot tell you how ashamed I was of being an Englishman whilst I was in Besika Bay, every day obliged avaler mille couh'uvres." I congratulate Mr. Cockerell on his appointment as Groom of .he Bed-chamber to the Prince of Wales. This coveted office has generally been bestowed on peers'sons, gives the vntde to everything and three hundred a year. Though not a peer's sou, Mr. Cockerell is a natural cour- tier, and is deservedly popular from his amiability slid agreeable manners. Mr. Cockerell replaces tho Ron. Sir. Charles Wood, who resigns on account of increased business at home, caused by the failing health of his father-in-law, the Earl of Devon. On dit that certain Ritualistic proclivities have also had a share in Mr.Wood's retirement, not to mention smouldering sympathies with the Rev. Mr. Tooth. It is no longer a secret that it is intended to mobilise. an army corps next month at Aldershot on war footing. The orders have been issued for the troops composing it to be held in readi- ness. If the corps is really mobilized-tbat is to say, if every horse and waggon for transport, ammuni tion columns, and unitary columns is taken into the field -if the columns themselves are formed, complete in officers and men, this will be a very valuable experiment otherwise it will cost a great deal of money without giving in return the value of the paper on which the orders are written. Nothing has leaked out as to who is to have the command.

I THE CLEVELAND IRON TRADE. [ REPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. 1 MIDDLESBOROUGII, Tuesday.—The attendance was good to-day, and rather more business was doing than last week. Quoted prices showed no change, and were for No. 3 G.M.B., 42s and grey forge, 40s 6d; both less one per cent., and delivered free on board in the Tees. Consumers were offering from 3d to 6d less, but in scarcely any cases were their offers accepted. Seiiing prices are said by makers to be ruinously low to the majority of firms. Orders for railway acccr«soi'ie« and pipes have been rather numerous lately. In finished iron, the only branch which shows any life is the plate department, and even this is less active, owing to strikes in Scotland. The difficulties in Northumberland have imparted briskness to the Durham coal trade, and steam fuel is up Is per ton.

NAVAL AND MILITARY ACTIVITY. Platelayers are new assisting the works department in expediting the completion of the railway in Woolwich Dockyard, which until within the last few months has remained in abeyance for nearly two years. Three pow- erful steam cranes, to run on the railway alongside the wharf and basins, and lift stores, kc., iu and out of ships, have been supplied by a firm at Birmingham, and the dredging operations, which have been in active progress, have provided accommodation at the dockyard for vessels of considerable burden. 4,000 horse hammocks forfitting up transport vessels are beine- delivered at Woolwich by a London contractor to the order of the B"ard of Admiralty. The hiirmocksare arriving at the rate of 20 loads a day, and the whole will be supplied in about a week." time. A committee of officers, naval and military, witnessed a. trial made at Woohvich Dockyard on Saturday with one of the large boats recently ordered for landing and em- barking men, horses, guns and waggons. These boats are nearly 40 feet long by about 14 feet wide and 5 feet deep, ami they possess great buoyancy. Experiments have been made by the Admiralty and Ordnance Depart- ment at the Itoyat Arsenal in slinging carriages of various kinds on board ship, a photographic van, a field forge, a general service waggon, two or three kinds of gun car- riages, and other vehicles having been brought ou to the wharf, ready loaded, for the purpose. The result ap- peared to favour the recent proposal to transport such carriages without taking them to pieces and packing. carriages without taking them to pieces and packing.

FINAL NOTES ON THE DERBY. The tirst sensational movement in connection with the Derby took place on Monday, when at 1.25 p.m. Pelle- gviuo was struck out of the race. 1 can point with great satisfaction to the fact that I have always steadily op; osed the chance of Pellegrino, and I hope that by so doing I have saved the money of some of my leaders. but this was not the only sensational event in connec- tion with the Blue Riband, as Chamant was driven from o to 4 to the comparatively long odds of 5 to 1, while Rob Roy was for the time favourite. I am afraid that something serious has occurred to Chamant, and will now have to trust to my second string, whose name I coupled with Chamant's to supply the winner a fortnight ago. Yet another scratching have I the painful duty to chronicle, and that is of the Mauton nag Avontes, who, in company with the rest of Mr Crawfurd's horses, was struck out the same day as Pellegrino. The Grey Friar has arrived, and looks vastly improved since the day he bowled over Silvio and company in the Biennial. I have always written in rather favourable terms of this colt, and now in consequence of the wholesale slaughter which has been carried on in th': front division, I almost feel inclined to recommend him for a place. loh Roy has received a very careful preparation indeed, and one great thing in his favour is the fact that he has never given his backers a moment's anxiety, and there have been scarcely any ugly rumours in circulation about him. Should Chamant's accident not be so serious as it is thought, he will win but, as anything going wrong with a horse (never mind how slight the accident may be) at such a. critical time as this must affect his running, I am compelled to fall back upon my second string, and my final opinion as to the result of the race is as follows • — ROB ROY 1 CHAMANT 2 SILVIO 3 GREY FRIAR 4 ith regard to the Oaks that is run on l-iiaay, 1 have a few words to say. Lady Golightly has improved im- mensely since the One Thousand day, and few who saw her beaten by Belphcebe and Lady Ronald would recog- nize her now. La Jonchere is to represent the strictly French contingent, and so favourable are the account. -I- have heard of her, that I would feel inclined to prognosti- cate her success, were it not for the fact that myMalton correspondent informs me that they have something out of the common in MUSCATEL, on whom, coupled with LA JONCHERE, I am content to rely upon to furnish the win- ner, while LADY GOLIGHTLY is a certain "place" invest- ment.

The Rev. G. T. Perks, Yi. A., ex-pietiJeat of the :cyan Conference, died suJde'ly at Rtitherhaiu, yestercbv morning,frani an attack of apoplexy. On Sunday he preached au behalf of the Foreign M issiorai-y Society, but owing to in unexpected feeling of illness he had to retire from the pulpit. His age was 57 years. He recently visited Africa in connection with missionary work, and whilst there his health was undermined. A court-martial assembled yesterday morning on board the Duke of Wellington for the trial of Mr. Thomas Bate, Assistant-Paymaster of the St. Viccent, on a charge of being drunk on board that ship on the 10th April. Prisoner pleaded guilty. He had been once before convicted by a court-martial of a similar offence, and ordered to lose one year's seniority. His character was reported as good. He was now sentenced to forfeit three years' seniority, and was dismissed bis ship.

MILITARY AERONAUTICS. At the Langham Hall, Great Portland-street, London. M. A. S. M^nier, the inventor of the military hot-ai) balloon, has de,ivei,ecl a lee! tire on f lie sut,ject Mr. W II. Le Feuvre, C. i' one of the council of the Aeronau tical Society, presiding. The lecturer explained at length the results of his investigations into different sys. terns. His aim was to find a balloon which would aseenc and descend rapidly for a prolonged period, couhtbt steared, and woulei- proceed, if possible, against the wind The result of his inquiries is the military hot-air balloon which has been for the past eighteen months undei examination by the War Office authorities at Woolwich. Rejecting hydrogen gas as an inflating medium because it could not be generated in the air, and escaped veo freely, compressed air for the same reason, and mechanical force as cumbrous and unworkable, he chose hot air, because, although it requires greater cubical capacity, the material employed for the balloon need not be special piepared, and is therefore lighter and less liable to spontaneous combustion. By employing a special kinc of fuel the balloon can be kept in the air for twenty oi twenty-five hours, while considerable changes in till density of the air, and consequent rapi.i ascents 01 descents, are rendered easy. To hii balloon, which i., spherical in shape, M. Menier aiffxes wings all round, ex cept in front, and a tail behind, managed by the aeronaut, acts as a i tidder. The inventor claims that his balloon) can be made to travel against some contrary winds, and when this is not practicable, that it will tack to and fro like a ship. lie besides urges that undei his system of inflation the balloon caa easily risetoanv required altitude, and that therefore when an adverse wind is blowing on the surface of the earth it will only be necessary to rise above it aOld travel in the favourable cur- rent likely then to be reached, or to go higher still inte the calm regions usuallj found at a height of from 2,000 to 3.000 yards. Two small balloon t were used to illustrate the lecture, and one, after ascend- ing perpendicularly, was made by altering the rudder tc rise at an angle of about forty-live degrees. It then unfortunately slipped loose, and rising to the toy ol the hall could not be brought down, while the othei got out of order. M. Menier, however,assured his audienct that his scheme had been tried successfully at Brussels, and he read very favourable reports from the Engineer and LIadepcndance B,lge in proof.—After some remarks from the chairman and Admiral lnglefi°ld, the proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the lecturer and tIlt chairman.

The thirty-eighth annual meeting of the General Life and Fire Assurance Company was held on Tuesday, when it was reported that 1,265 new life policies had been issued during the past year, assuring the sum of £ 374J248, and VieldiiigL12,339 in new premiums, raising the total life premium income to £ 94,236, out ef which £(,954 wu paid for re-assurances.

TEACHERS FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS. At a meeting of the National Association for the Pro motion of Social Science, held at the society's rooms, Adam-srieet, Adelphi, and presided over by the Rev. W Rogers, M.A., a paper on the above subject has been read by Miss Emily A. E. Shinelf. The author directed at tention to the fact that although fcr more than 70 years they had had in England training colleges for elementarj teacher! thus acknowledging the necessity of properly in structing masters and mistressestofill theoffice of teachers, yet they were still asking themselves if the training of teachers be a g<lcd thing, whether it could be required for the highest as well as the lowest schools in other words, they alone of all the nations of Europe were still debating whether professional study for professional work was a question of expediency under given circumstances, or a question of principle ruling under all circumstances. They found no such distinction prevailing between the higher and lower branches of any other profession. The only plausible reason ever alieged for it in this one instance was found in the different exte it of general culture which distinguished the upper from the lower grade teachers; but how would the former use his higher power for definite work if he disdained to study the rules and me- thods of the work? After reviewing at considerable length the qualities which made a good teacher, as ehew- ing the necessity of training, the author pointed out- that m examination of candidate teachers should cover the three branches which together made up the complete professional training- (I) knowledge of the subjects to be taught (2) knowledge of the accumulated thought ind experience of the past on methods of education, stored up in books and (3) practical acquaintance with the art of teaching, and with all the details of school organisation and management. A discussion followed, md the thanks of the meeting were afterwards awarded to Miss Shirreff for her paper.

OUR CANAL POPULATION. The Government bill now before the House of Commons proposes to inflict a penalty not exceeding 40s. on the master, and also on the owner, if he is in fault, for every occasion on which a canal boat 64all be used as a dwelling at night unless it has been registered under this bill, or on which it shall be used an a dwelling at night for more than the number of persons of the age and sex for which it is registered. The bill provides that the registration authority may,and it required by the Local Government Board shall, with the approval of that beard, make regulations for registration and the fees to be paid, and for fixing the num- ber, &c., of persons to be allowed to dwell in a canal boat at night, and for promoting cleanliness in the boats and preventing the spread of infectious diseases by canal boats. Every registered boat is to have its letter and number. The registration authority or rural sanitary authority, if informed that a person dwelling on a canal boat is suffering from an infectious disorder, shall cause such steps to be taken as may seem to them requisite to prevent it from spreading, and may exercise the power of iemoving such person, and all other powers in relation to provisions against infection conferred by the Publicllealth Act of 1875, and may also, if need be, detain the boat. An officer authorised by a registration or sanitary authority, or by a justice of the peace, and having reasonable cause to suppose that_ there is an infected person on board, or that there is any contravention of this bill, may, on producing his authorisation if demanded, enter a canal boat by day and examine every part of it. Pro- vision is made fixing the place in which a child dwelling in a canal boat is to be deemed to be resident for the purpose of the Elementary Education Acts. The port sanitary authority, urban sanitary authority, and Metro- politan vestries or district board-, will be registration authorities.' The expression "canal" includes a river or a lake and canal boat" means any vessel, however propelled, which is used for the conveyance of goods along a canal, and which is not a ship registered under the Mer- chant Shipping Acts. Master*' means the person having for the time being command or charge of the boat. The bill is to come into operation next New Year's Day, and does not extend to Scotland 01 Ireland.

In reply to the opinion expressed by the Archdeacon of Rochester that Mr. Fry, one of the churchwardens of St. James's, Hatcham, had acted art )-Ltrily and illegally in ordering the rcmoval of an altar and a crucifix from the centre of the church, that gentleman asks to be allowed to say that he obtained the proper permission for what lie did, and acted in accordance with the 14th clause oi the Public W01 iip Act.

It is again rumoured that. Lord Redesdale will shortly resign his post of Chairman of Committees in the House of Lords; and it is said that Viscount Ashford, bettei known as Lord Bury. will probably succeed him. The salary of the office is £ 2,500. At the Hammersmith Tolice-court a lady residing at Notting-liill has been charged with assaulting the police. She denied the charge, and aesorted that she had been ill- treated by the constables. ThIs statement was contra dicted, and in the result the magistrate fincll the defen ,i,t n t iC -i.

A meeting of persons having rights in the New Forest has been held at Lyndhurst, under the presidency 0* Lord Henry Scott, M.P., when lesolutions were carried approving generally of the Government Bill dealing with the forest, but urging certain modifications in favour of the rights of the commoners, freeholders, tind public generally. The Bishop of Chichester has visited Lewes, and per- formed the ceremony of inducLing two new rectors-tli6 Rev. E. Cross to St. Michael's, and the Rev. C. Calveri to St. Thomas it Becket, Cliffe. In the course of his ser- mon the Bishop observed that the present was a time when the ceremonies of the Church of England should be thorotiglil3 understood, and her doctrines, as laid down in the Prayer Baok, acted up to in a liberal spirit. After restoration works costing nearly 17,000, Haddcn- ham Church, near Ely, has been re-opened by the Bishop of that diocese. The tower has been rebuilt as a memorial to the late Earl of Hardwicke, several members of whose family were present at the ceremony. At a luncheon held subsequently, speeches of a congratulatory character were made by the Bishop, the Lord Lieutenant of Cambridge- shire. the lIon. Eliot Yorke, M.P., and Mr. Hunter Rod- well, M.P.

But her daughter, Sarah Southwell, aged 66, and her granddaughter, Eliza Bacon (daughter of Sarah Southwell), aged 48, and her great granddaughter, Naomi May (daughter of Eliza Bacon), aged 20, and her great great grandson, a fine boy (son of Naomi May), a few weeks old, are all at the present time alive and well."

The principal speech was made by the Turkish Ambassador, who dwelt upon the relative indebtelnes8 of geographers and diplomatists. I hear, says the London correspondent of a Scotch paper,that nearly every Libers] association of the slightest importance will be represented at the great meeting al Birmingham on Thursday next, and the reception of Mr. Gladstone, it is expected, will surpass everything in the nature of a public demonstrationwhichhas been accorded tc the right hon. gentleman in the course of his career. The enthusiasm among the Libcials of the Midland capital is intense, and Mr. Gladstone will meet such a welcome in the centre of English Radicalism as will make the event of Thursday next an event in the history ot English poli- tics. Mr. Gladstone's speech will chiefly deal with th.i Eastern Question, but it is also expected that he will glance at some questions of nnmpstic interest.

RAMON CABRERA, TilE CARLIST GENERAL. The death, says the Echo, is announced of a man for whose soul prayers are besought in all the Catholic churches of Spain and the Spanish Colonies. This was Ramon Cabrera, Count of Morclla, a Spanish Carlist general, who has just died, in his sixty-seventh year. Destined to be a priest, and educated in a monastery, he exhibited in hie earliest youth characteristics which prevented even the corrupt and sordid ecclesiastics of Spain from receiving him as one of their order. In his youth he became a rob- ber, and soiled his hands with villainies indescribable, There was no satisfying hie egregious thirst for blood. Under pretenca of avenging the murder of his mother and his three sisters, falsely said to have been put tc death by the chiefs of the Constitutionalist party, he shot hundreds of innocent prisoners in cold blood, and ço excited the hatred of the t Spaniards that they hunted him, as they would have hunted a wolf,through the forests ofAragon. True, he found, under a false name, hospit- ality in the house of a poor village curd at Almagon but him he afterwards murdered, and cast his carcase to the dogs. Men shunned him. In London fathers iorbade their daughters to dance with him, or even to touch his hand, for his infamy had blazoned itself from one hemisphere to the other and yet he affected all the airs of gallantry and fashion, and actually won the heart and hand of a young English girl, who was an heiress. It was he who, in South America, aiming at a perfect revenge upon some man who hadthwarted him, invited him to dinner, overwhelmed him with oomplimer.ts, drank wine with him, invited him to look ever a little garden at the back of the house, where was a new open grave, with a file ol soldiers standing by it. The soldiers had soon done their duty, and the grave was speedily filled up. The fate of the last of the Condes was tragical enough yet, as a fearful surprise, it did not approach this. The man now dead—and who more than once feigned death, in order to make sure of his victims—was a acoundral so complete, a traitor so versatile, an intriguer so unscrupulous, that he did not deserve even Vie title of a guerilla. We perceive that certain French and Spanish journals are try- ing to gild his career with the purple and the spangles of romance. In mercy to his name let it disappear,as one not to be remembered without loathing, for, of all the hideous brood engendered by the guerilla revolutions of Spain, none was more blackly stained with blood, more depraved by cruelty, or more degraded by treason on every side, than that of Ramon Cabrera, Count of Morella, whose name his own townsmen, the burghers of Tortosa, in Cata. lonia, blotted out from their list of citizens.

General Grant is to be entertained by the City autho- rities at a banquet at Guildhall. A paper called the Highlander, published at Inverness, fias commented upon Mr. Gladstone's resolutions, and ex- pressed regret that he had temporised with them. Ths ex-Premier, however, in a letter to the editor, says :—" I thank you much fey: your letter and article. They refresh one like a Highland breeze. Allow me to assure you that none of my resolutions were withdrawn, although only one 1 was put. It would have been less than respectful to pro- pose any other, after the vote to which the Ho,ios had come against passing any such motion."
