Rene Duples.iis of the esparto fibre districts in the regency of Tunis, and of any correspondence on the subject. Earl Granville replied thsttheGovernme^fhad not received a copy of the concession, and as the correspondeacc with the French Government on the subject was not complete it would be premature to lay it on the table. On the motion of the Earl of Belmore, an order was agreed to for a return of the date of the issue of the writs 'for the election of repre- sentative peers of Ireland who have been elected since 1850. HOUSE OF COHMONS. -The Liverpool United Gaslight Company's Bill was read a third time. The St. Philip's Church (Liverpool) Bill was read a second time.

The Married Women's Property Bill passed through committee. In reply to Lord Truro, the Earl of Morley said the number of men convicted last year of fraudulent re-enlistment into the aimy was 667, but he trusted that the measures about to be taken would have the effect of putting a check upon this crime. The house agreed to a motion of the Earl of Dunmore for a copy ef the certificate granted by the Board of Trade to the South Eastern Railway Company's steamship Victoria, which met with an accident off Boulogne on Sunday last.

On the report of supply being brought up, Mr Maclver moved for a reduction of the allowance in the civil service estimates for the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs that he might put himaelf in order for finding fault with the replies which Sir Charles Dilke had recently given him to his ques. tions relating to our commercial relations with France. Sir H. D. Wolff also availed himself of the opportunity to ask the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any &teps had been taken to carry out the reforms in Turkey provided for by the Treaty of Berlin. Sir Charles Dilke, having replied in a bantering tone to Mr Maclver, said in answer to the member for Port smouth, tha. it waa needless to conceal the fact that the other Powers did not press so actively on the Porte the necessity for carrying out these reforms as did the English Government. He added that he quite agreed with Sir II. D. Wolff as to the importance of theae reforms, both in the interests ~>t iurKey herself and in the interests of Europe. ,?Tn then raised the question as to Mr Parnell, »jr Dillon, and Mr 0'Kelly being released from kd mainham to give their vote next Thursday in the division on the first of the Premier's procedure rules.

After some discussion, the report of Supply was agreed to, and the sitting, which commenced at 2.15, was suspended till nine o'clock. On the house resuming, Sir Alexander Gordon's motion for & select committee as to burial fees was agreed to, and at 10.15 the house was counted out, whilst Oolonel Barne was calling attention to the con- dition of the army, which he was contending was most unsatisfactory.

WEDNESDAY. HOUSH OF COMMONs.-Sir A. Gordon moved the second reading of a bill to make it compulsory on landowners in Scotland to give two years' notice of their intention not to renew a lease, instead of only 40 days as under the existing law. In the course of the discussion on the motion, the Lord Advocate said that he was glad to be ab!e, as the representative of the Government, to assent to the second reading of the bill, which did not go very Ear, but its progress was in the right direction. Phis bill having been read a second time, Dr 1 Cameron moved the second readiag of the CiV'.l Imprisonment (Scotland) Bill. He explained that imprisonment for ordinary debt had already been abolished, and the object of hi3 bill was to abolish imprisonment for alimentary debts also. The Lord Advocate assented to the bill being read a second time, on the understanding that the house was not sanctioning the total abolition of im- prisonment for alimentary debts, but would leave that matter for the consideration of a select com- ni aiid for the future decision of the houiic. The bill wss then read a second time, and, ou the mot: n of Dr Cameron, referred to a select com- mittee. A bill to supplement existing legislation with regard to common right in laud was also read s. second time, on the motion of Mr Cheetham. The Burial Fees rill iutroduced by Mr Brinton was talkc:d cut," as Mr T. Colliud v as spc- kiug against the motion for the second reading at a quarter to six o'clock, which is the limit of time for deba o at the Wednesday âttbgR.

E.] LLANIIWST v. RHYL.—Played at Rhyl on Satur- day, end resulted in a win for the home team by four goals to one. SCOTLAND v. WALES.—The international match between Wales and Scotland was played at Hamp- den Patk, Glasgow, on Saturday, and resulted in » win f"r Scotland. The Welshmen won the toss, and played with the wind in their favour. At first they showed a bold front, and frequently sur It unded the Scotch goal, but through over- anxiety to make the requisite allowance for the wiLd, failed to get the ball through. The call of time found the game standing-Scotland, five goals Wales, none. The strangers played well throughout,fcbut in the second half they were over- matched. T.ieir back support was the best, but fVaughan of the Druids distinguished himself greatly iu the forwards ranks, and made some very clever runs for his side. The following were the t-'ams :—Scotland: A. M'Callum, Queen's Park, goal: J. Duncan, Alexandra Athletic, and A. Holm, Queen's Perk, backs; A. Kennedy, 3rd L.R.V., and 0. Campbell, Queen's Park, half- backs E. Fraser, G. Ker, J. L. Kaye, and J. T. Richmond, Queen's Paik, D. Hill, Rangers, and J. M'Auley, Dumbarton, forwards. Umpire, MrJohll Wallace, 3rd L.R.Y. WVies H. Phoenix, Wrex- ham, goal; J. Powell, Drdds, and J. R. Morgan, captain, Derby Schcol and Swansea, backs F. W. Hughes, Northwich, W. Williams, Druids, and Edwards, Wrexham, half-lacks; W. H. Roberts, and W. P. Owen, Ruthin, J. Vaughan, Druids, J. Price, Wrexham, and J. Roberts, Corwen, for- wards. The reserve half-back took the place of F. W. Hughes, who was not abll to play. Umpire, Mr Cope referee, Mr Dan Hamilton, Ayr, In the evening the teams dined together at the Bath Hotel. BANGOR iI. BEAUMARIS GRAMMAR SCHOOL.—This return match was played on Saturday week on the Bangor ground. After kick off by Beaumaris the visitors at first had the best of the game, and the ball several times crossed the home lines. Bangor, however, soon settled down to work, aid after a good rush up by the forwards, Nixon had no trouble in scoring the first goal. Robert Williams soon after headed a second in splendid ntyle, and a third followed by R. Williams. Not satisfied with this, the home forwards still pressed on, and a good throw in by Thomas was touched by O'Con- nor, and a fourth point scored. Three more were made before the call of half-time, and though the school made several good rushes they did not lock up or seem to play together. Ends were changed and four corner kicks fell in rapid succession to the home club, but were not utilized. Baugor now played rather lazily, but still scored, and three mere points were made before the School,making a determined rush, passed the backs, and were enabled owing to the indecision of the goalkeeper (W. Williams) to score their first point. This put more spirit into the play, and in the short time remaining two more goals were registered, a plea- sant game thus ending in an easy victory for the Bangor club by twelve goals to one. For the visitors, Howe, Poltney, and Griffith, were the pick, while the home forwards all played well. I RUABON WANDERERS r. liARE ASD HOUNDS, WKKXKAM (2ND --This match was played on Saturday, March 25th, on the ground of the latter.

REVIEW OF THE SEASON.

STATE OF IRELAND. 011 Tuesday, at half-past twelve o'clock, a man named Joseph M'Mahon, aged 22, and un- married, in the employment of Messrs Wheeler and Shanks, Townsend-street, Dublin was shot dead in Duulap's public-house, Dorset- street. The details of the case are as follows:- At a little after twelve o'clock three respectable looking young men, named Joseph M'Mahon Artisans'-dwellings, Buckingham-street, Edward Brennan, and Thomas Martin, 1, St. John's- terrace, Fontenoy-street, entered Mr Dunlap's public-house, and asked for some refreshment. This was served to them in a small partitioned encP sure at the left hand side of the door as one enters the shop. The enclosure is very small, with a square table and seats around. When the three men had been there about half-an-hour a pistol shot resounded through the shop. Being heard out in the street, Sergeant Neville, 29 D and Constable James Keenan, 179 D, who were passing at the time, ran in. The shop was filled with smoke, and they, with some people in the shop, opened the door of the enclosure. A fear- ful scete met their view. On the table was a pool of blood, and under it was the man Joseph M'Mahon lying bathed in blood. Next his left hand, on the floor, was a revolver, and on the other side, also on the floor, 'was a revolver with one chamber discharged. On the table were eight cartridges of a large size, suitable to the revolvers, which were of the large constabulary pattern. When the door was opened, Brennan said, I fired the shot. We were looking at the pistols, and I never meant it." As they were lifting out the wounded man, the police.sergeant asked Brennan's name. He said, "I'll give John Brophy. I would not disgrace my family." He was then arrested, and sent with two policemen to Green-street Station. In the meanwhile the sergeant and 179 D conveyed the wounded man, who was bleeding profusely from a wound in the upper portion of his stomach, to the Misericordise Hospital, where the doctors attended him, but he died in eight minutes. In the man's pockets were found six ball cartridges. On hearing of his death the police drove Martin, who was weeping copiously and seemed greatly affected by his friend's death, to Green street Station. On searching Martin the police found a cloth cese for a revolver, and one ball cartridge. Martin was then removed to a different cell from Brennan. The occurrence is believed to be accidental, and consequent on the careless handling of the fire- arms. None of the three men possessed the necessary license to carry arms. The cabs used bj the police were followed by a rabble to and from the hospital and station, aad the greatest iutorest was shown to catch a glimpse of any of the actors in the tragedy. Another correspondent says that four more prisoners have been arrested iu connection with the ca.se. Their n^mas are Joseph Martin, sen., Joteph Martin, jan., and James Martin, father and brothers, all p.i .ters, and Edward Fitzpatrick, mason. In the Martins' house were found tV ree rifles with bayonets of an old pattern and a bucket of cartiidges, also a loaded revolver. of cartiidges, also a loaded revolver. THE TIOHE-STIIEET MURDER.—VERDICT. The coroner's jury, in Dublin, on Tuesday, found an opeu verdict of Wilful murder in the case in which Kinstlla stands charged with shooting P-ter ndrews, in Tigho-street. During the ii quiry t transpired that the rifle found in Kmsella s room oore the same mark as those I seized recently in the Coombe, and in connection with which Bui!ey was subsequently shot in Skippers s-alicy 011 suspicion of having given the information upon which the police made the seizure.

THE CONVICT LAMSOX. The Home Secretary, in reply to a second appli- cation from L^msou's relatives, says he sees 110 ground to justify him in relaxing the ordinary rules of the prison with regard to visits from the condemned man's friends. A private meeting of Americans was held on Monday, iú London, to express sympathy with the convict Resolutions were passed declaring belief in the prisoner's inanity, and expressing a hope that the United Staces Minister would move in the matter. Mrs Lamson on Tuesday afternoon, visited her husband in Waudaworth GaoL A newspaper correspoudent who knew Dr Lamson during th" S rvian war, has written to Mrs Lamson testifying to the q iet, unobtrustive courage displayed by him luring the campaign,and stating that, he won the »ood opinion of everyone by his urbauity and iudct itigable zeal in the causa of humanity. Without qaectioning the finding of the jury. the writer cannot associate one so shrewd with plan execut d so cl imsily. and thinks if his friends ha 1 been heard on his behalf their evi- dence w: uld have conveyed a different impression of his previous character generally to the jury. A Bourn mouth correspondent writes that the memorial for the respite ot Dr Lamson has been extensively sign el in Bournemouth and neighbour- hood. The memorialists state tht^ previous to the alleged murder the prisoner was insane. They believe he has a hereditary predisposition to in. sanity, and state that his ^randmoir.er and great uncla died in Bloomiugdalo Asylum, New York. They add that for a considerable time previous to Doccmbei last symptoms of Insanity were detected in the prisoner's conduct, and he was regarded as insane by many of his acquaintances. The memorialists believe the prisoner's insanity was not always active and apparent, but that his hereditary insanity was developed and increased by constant and excessive subcutaneous injections ofmoryhiv aud atrophia, so that he became un- conscious of the nature and consequences of his actions while under the influence or suffering from the effects of the injections. It is believed by the memorialists that the use of morphia and atrophia in such quantities as were taken by the prisoner acting t'poû an hereditary predisposition to insanity, would be sufficient to produce mental disease of such a nature as to render him at frequent intervals irresponsible for his. actions. It had been proved that he had bought large quantities of atrophia and morphia on December 3rd, and for several days previously had made large injections, and the memorialists contend! that Dr Lamson was then so insane as to be unconscious of his actions, or, if conscious of them, was not aware of their nature, and was irresponsible for their results. The plea of insar ity was not set up at the trial for the reason that the prisoner's family and relatives had good reason to believe the mediaal evidence in support of the theory of the prosecution, that Percy Malcolm John died from a dose of aconite, was erroneous The prayer of the memorial is that an inquiry may be directed to be made into the state of the prisoner's mind at the time of the alleged murder, and that her Most Gracious Majesty may be ad- vised to grant a respite of execution until a report under such inquiry ha: been made.

DEATH OF MR LONGFELLOW. The distinguished American poet, Henry Wads- worth Longfellow, died on Friday last in the 75th year of his age. He had been suffering for some timelfrom a complication of diseases,but the imme- diate cause of his death was peritonitis. The announcement is one which will be heard with regret by all Englishmen, for despite his many peculiarities of versification, his works are As popnlar in England as they are with his own countrymen. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the son of the Hon. Stephen Longfellow, and was born ab Porland Maine on the 27th February, 1807. In his fifteenth year he entered Bowdoin College, Brunswick, where he graduated with high honours in 1825. While at college he contributed various pieces of verse to the United States Literary Gazette" He was intended for the study of the law, and spent some time in his father's office for that purpose; but a professorship of modern lan- guages having been founded in Bowdoin College, and offered to him, he accepted the office, as more congenial to his tastes. In order to qualify himself for the office, being then quite a youth, he came over to Europe, where he spent three years and half in travelling through France, Italy Spain, Germany, Holland, and England, and in acquiring a knowledge of the language and literature of those countries. His residence in Germany, in particular, had a powerful influence upon him-an. influence visible throughout his subsequent writings. It begot in him a kind of eclectic theory of literature and a love of European, and especially mo ifeval and German themes and sentiments, as distinct from that intense American nationalism which some of his countrymen advocated. All that is best," he has said, in the great poets of all countries is not what is national in them, but what is universal. Their roots are in their native soil, but their branches wave in the unpatriotic air." This was a state of feeling very proper in one who was to fill the office of Professor of Modern Languages in an American college; which office he returned to occnpy iu 1829, while yet only in his twenty-third year. While discharging the duties of the post he wrote various articles of literary biography and criticism for the North American Review." In 1833 he published a translation of a Spanish poem by Don Jorge Manrique on the death of his father, with an essay on Spanish poetry and in 1835 ap- peared the first of his regular proae works—' uutre Mer or a Pilgrimage Beyond the Sea "—contain- ing sketches of his travels in France, Spain, and Italy. In this same year, Mr George Tnc^uow having resigned the professorship of modern lan- guages and literature at Harvard University, Mr Longfellow, then 28 years of age, was caJeoupon to succeed him, vacating his chair at Bowdoin College. Before entering upon the office he spent another year in European travel, visiting Germany again, and also Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden, thus adding a Knowledge of Scandinavian tongues and ? ms previous acquirements. He returned in the autumn of 1836 to enter upon his duties at Harvard, and fulfilled them with high distinction until 1854, when he resigned, and was succeeded by James Russell Lowell. In 1849 he published his prose i Hyperion; in 1840 his Voices of the Night," hia first collection of poems; in 184 L his Ballads and other Poctns, including translations from the German and Swedish in 1842 (in which year he again visited Europe) a drama ca'.lcd The Spanish StudCLt j" in 1843 his Poems on Slavery; in 1845 his "Belfry oi Bruges, and also an extea sive work called "The Poets an! Poetry 01 Europe, consisting of translations from various languages with introductions and biographical in 1847 his pI em of Evangeline, a story of early American colonial life, written in English hexameters; in 1848 his Kavauagh," p kind of poetico■ philosophical tale; in 1849 a political series, eutitied, ''The Seaside and te. .Fireside;" in 18o-l "The Golden Legend." e mystical and dramatic version of a German medieval story; and in 1855 his S)1)g of Hia- watha," a kind of American Indi ui mythical epi •, written in a very pe^cli-r metre This was fol- lowed by Miles btandisn." in 1858, Tale, <>' a Wayside Ian" it 1863 "F ower de Luce" in 18fi6,a translation of Dante, in three volumes; and "NeW Euglsnd Tragedies"in 1868,"The Divide Tragedy" and "Three Book of ;-ong in 1872, "Aftermath" in 1873, "The Hanging of the Crane" in 1874, "The Masque of Pando,a in 1875, and "Keramos" in 1878. He also published new and complete editions of his poeticai aud prose works in 1869, and a revision with additiocs of his Poets and Poetry of Europe" in 1871. His works have been 'frequently repriuted 10 Great Britain, and many of them translated into the Continenta1 languages. In addition to the vi-ita to Europe already mentioned, Mr Longfellow revisited it in 1868 and 1869. In the farmer year the honorary degree of > L. D. was conferred upon him by the University of Cambridge, and in the latter ycal, D.C.L by the University of Oxford. III 1873 ho was selected P. member of the Russian Academy of Science, and in 1877 a member of the Spanish Academy, ile was als;) nomi. ated for the Loid Rectorship c,f the Glasgow Univetsity, ia opposi- tion to Lord Beaconsfield (then Mr Dioraei:), i-y whom he was defeated. From the nature of some of the subje;ts in the long series given above it will be seen that Mr Longfellow, while true in the main to tLe cosmo- politan theory of poetry and literature with which he set out on his carcer, h.is yet exhibited his genius again and again in nation d America 1 topics. Of all American poets, Mr Longcello was the most popular on this side of the Atlantic and though the iüfiueLce cf Goethe, Jean Pau;, and other Germans is to be traced both ill the matter and in the method of some of his writings, there can b) no doubt that he was a man of fine original faculty, a highly cultivated scholar, and a genuine literary artist. THE FUNERAL. The Standard New York correspondent says: Sunday was a cold windy day, notwithstanding which thousands went to Cragie House. None, however, were admitted except the deathbed group and forty ether friends. The c jmpany gathered was therefore small, but it was very distinguished. It included Richard H. Dana, Ralph Waldo Emer- son, J. Greenleaf Whittier, Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Dean Howeils, Alexander Agassiz, Mrs Louis Agassiz, President Eliot of Harvard College, Bronson Aloott, and George W 1- liam Cortis. On the plain coffiu ii.- a spray of passionflowers. Everything was studiously simple Hundreds of people braved the weather outside during the brief services. Throngs gathered at Appleton Chapel before the doors were opened. The building accommodates eight hundred, but on Sunday one thousand persons were present, and many were excluded. The family were absent from the chapel. Professor Everett's address was not an elaborate eulogy, but a brief aud simple memorial of a neighbour, a townsman, and a friend, who wn3 also a p3et, rather than a p- et merely. Some passages were of much beauty. The address was delivered with quiet pathos, without any attempt at oratory, to a tearful and sympathetic audience. The day was recognized formally iu^vcry church in Cambridge, and by many at Bowon, Buffalo, Chicago, and elsewhere.

THE DEPARTURE OF JUMBO. Jumbo was on Friday afternoon safely slung ilito the Assyrian Monarch from the quay on which he had been placed the day before. Close by were placed his stores of food for the voyage- namely, 65 trusses -of hay, 300 cwt. of ship's biscuits, three sacks of oats, three sacks of bran, 50 quarters of ship's bread (white), two sacks of onions, the total cost being about J620, which for a voyage, including detentions, of 13 or 14 days, makes his bill for food at the rate of about JE500 a year. The steamer moved from her berth a little before noon to the shear legs, the carpenters being hard at work in fitting the enclosure which is appropriated to Jumbo aud his box. Soon after two this had been caulked and co ered with a lead panel and flooring extending about 2 feet per- pendicularly and 2 feet horizontally all round the edge of the timber euclosure. The hydraulic power was applied to hoist on the shear legs at about 20mi;-utee|p3sttwo, and the cage was raised with Jumbo in it, Newman and Scott standing in front to keep him quiet. He had previously re- quired a little soothing by hb keeper,. The cage was raised ia the air, traversed over the hatch, and lowered with great exactitude to its place in eight minutes. It stands on the lower of the two steel decks of the vessel, which has also t^o timber decks one above and the other below the stronger constructions. The cage stands in the hatchway, and occupies nearly the space L1 height of two I decks. From the upper deck it was easy to step upon the top of the cage, and many hundreds of people who visited the ship in the afternoon made a point of so stepprng. Thick dunage boards were fitted on both sides of the cage and also fore aud fitted on both sides of the cage and also fore aud 1Lift ol: it against the l'on rim of the hatch open- ing, which surrounds the box on the r.ain deck. The cage ii thus firmly attached to the framework of the vessel herself. When Jumbo had been safely stowed away the principal visitors sat down to luncheon, under the presidency of Mr Patton, of Messrs John Patton Junior, and Co., the firm who are managing owners of the line. Also present were General Merritt Consul-General for the United States Mr Sheriff Ogg, Mr Under Sheriff M'Diarmid, Sir Joseph Fayrer, Colonel Stunrt-Wortley, Mr A k) Bartlett, superintendent of the Zoological Society's Gardens; Mr C. Bartleit, Mr J. R. Davis, Mr Vickers, of the managing owners* firm Mr W. Ambler, one of the directors of the company to which the vessel belongs; Mr Marlay, Mr L Davids, and Mr E. M. Leon, chairman of the committee for assisting the Russo-Jewish emigrants. Eighty of these poor people ame on board after Jumbo under the care of Mr Stephauy, being allowed by the kindness of the owners to embark on Friday in London and avoid travelling to Gravesend on their Sabbath. A few speeches were made in the saloon after u-u °n" ^l"*rski MrTrotman, treasurer of a fund which had been raised by the officers and a few i ellows of the Society to commemorate their ap- preciation of the coolness and skill of William T Isewmau, the American keeper, offered on behalf of the subscribers a gold medal to Newman. The medal is by E kinatons it bears on one side the figures of the elephant and his master." and on the obverse the inscription Presented to William Newman as a token of respect and esteem by a few English friends. Frederick Trotman, trea- surer." Mr Patton n<xt proposed the toast ot "The United States," to which General Merritt replied, expressing the belief that the possession of common objects of interest an^ sympathy tended to unite America and Engla5^ 1,1 ne, ship and mutual understanding. that the gr at elephant was conveyed in an American ship; but expressed the hope that America would once more have a mercantile marine of her own. Then the Consul General passed on to speak of the vast numbers in which subjects of the Queen had been transferred to America recently, 200,000 having emigrated m the previous year. Mr Vickers proposed The Oity of London," and Sheriff 7 re-p ^r.ded. Mr Vick also pro. posed the health oi' .Mr A. D. Banlett, superi** tendeut of the Zoological Gardens, and 30 Bartlett, in an interesting roply, spoke of lbO elephant as the most amic .'o'e and the best ted" perod animal at ordinary times, but said that 8" certain seasons he was, from hia enormous strength most dangerous .Tumbc, he said. had man? friends and no enemies. They hop d he WJuld return. Mr Sheriff Ogg explained the absence ot the Lord M-or as unavoidable. Regrets were also expressed on behalf of Lt Burd tt. Coutts, who had be-;a expected. The steamer Assyrian Monirch, conveying the e-ephant Jumbo, l-it Millbaok Docks on Saturday morning for America. With th*- exception Of o casional tr umpeting Jm-bo passed a quiet night, and gov little trouble.
