| OUR LONDON LETTER. fFrom Our Special Correspondent.} There are probably a good many people in the country and at the seaside making holi- day just now who are pitying1 poor members of Parliament, condemned to spend weary day" and hot, sultry nights discussing the | Budget Bill. Under any conditions a Finance | Bill is hardly a subject full of refreshment, I but with the thermometer hovering' some- where between eighty and ninety in the shade. most people will be able to think of many things more attractive thanl to sit is a rather stuffy House of listening to, or occasionally taking part in, intermix:, a bic debates upon the taxation of land values, and keeping a tired mind determinedly fixed upon problems connected with "unearned in- rettert" or "ungotten minerals." Some members there are, no doubt, deserv- ing of sympathy. The lenders in the fight, both Ministerialist and Opposition, are sacrificing both leisure and pleasure to the cause, and argue for hour after hour for ,1¡d against the Bill which has created so great a commotion. Luckier and loss prominent* men can got away for a few days to the moors or the sea, and come back refreshed, but for those who lead there will be no rest until the battle is lost and won. An all-nig'ht sitting in this weather is a trying ordeal for those lvho do the work, and not many of them can preserve such a calm, unruRied, and isn- fatigued appearance as Hr. Haldane, whose remarka,ble capacity for physical endurance is the envy and the admiration of friend and foe alike. But many an ordinary member of Parlia- ment whose importance lies chiefly in the fact that he has a vote and counts in a divi- sion, is getting sympathy to which he is not altogether entitled. True, he is tied to the precincts of the House, and he would get wrong with his party Whips if he allowed himself to stray beyond reach of the tinkle of the division bell; but his lot has some com- pensation. He can slumber in the library or the reading-rooms between the divisions; he can sit on the Terrace taking the air and looking out on the Thames; or he can select a comfortable corner in the refreshment- room and pass the time in a fairly pleasant fashion by listening to the coolest sound which can be heard in these rneiting days- t he clink of ice in a long glass. He does not need, and certainly he does not desire, to hear the speeches. All that anybody wants to do is to vote, and if he likes to go and his constituents when this arduous Session is over that he was nearly worked to deaxh in serving their interests—well, those wh., do not know will think him a noble, self- sacrificing patriot, and those who could tell a different story will not be so unkind as to do so. There is a. strong belief I-liat the remaining stages of the Budget will receive short shrift as compared with the t uje ih it has been spent upon those secti 1 of the Bill which deal with the taxation of land values. After this week other important matters will como between the House and the Budget, and the L,tL.erwill'not again claim .attention until September 1, and then, according to some prophets, the Parliamentary machine will go full speed ahead, and get the rest of the Bill through in double-quick time. There was a sentence in the speech made by Mr. Asquith the other night which gives colour to this idea. "The, battle over the license duties," he said, "wf l be short, sharp, and decisive." Probably this means the guillotine, and a time-limit for the different parts of the Bill. Though a month ahead the feature of the conflict which engages most attention is the duel between the champions which is to take piace at Birmingham. On September 17 the Prime Minister will address a great meeting at Bingley Hall, Birmingham. We shall know better how things are going by that time, and Mr. Asquith's speech is designed to rally the country to t,ie standard of the Government. It will be, no. doubts the throw- ing down of the gauntJet to the House of Lords. Then, a few days later, Jwill be de- livered the reply of Mr. Balfour from the same platform. It is a dramatic duel which appeals to the imagination, and a great deal hangs upon the issue. Anybody desiring proof of the popularity of the Promenade Concerts should have been at Queen's Hall on the opening night of the i series. Here, on one of the most breathless j nights of this breathless August, a night only a reniarkably powerful attraction could have drawn people to any sort of in- door entertainment, there was not a single vacant seat in the whole of the great build- ing, and in the promenade people stood packed together--stood for hours listening to the wonderful playing of Mr. Wood's orchestra. The heat did not make them less enthusiastic either, and they made them- selves much liottee than they were before by the vigour of their applause. The weather is & matter not worth considering by regular patrons of 7 the Promenade Concerts, and nothing less formidable than an earthquake, w il ever keep 1hcm away from a first night. Aiiothej rllHsical event of considerable inte- rest is the tpening- of a short season of Grand opeia in English at the Lyric Theatre. Mr. Manners' season has an important place in He diary of the miisi,Iover, and the plucky .ir,d persistent efforts which the popular im- piesario continues to make in providing grand opera for the people in the people's ov,n lauguage.Ver(le,.frl,irLg of the fullest en- Co vvegement. Tfc<>so who had followed the hist >ry of Mr. Manners' enterprise, know litat his London season generally results in a fba&tfcial loss. Last year, how«ver, the de- ficiency was only -€15, and the reception given to the openrng performance this year encourages the hope that there may bis a i "balance shown on the right side at last. To 7 those who have bqd fxwrienee, of the Moody- Manners productions nothing need be ftkid $ "¡4œI as to their high artistic merit, but the atten- tion of others may be directed to a little story which Mr. Manners teHs of party of foreign musicians who paid a to the opening performance last year, to have rare fun at witnessing the cv t ■ < ■> of a company to give opera in English. However, they found the performance so excellent that they went through the whole list of operas, and confessed that the production was on a higher level than they had been accustomed to at A. E. M.

TABERNACLE JUBILEE, On Monday the members of the Metropolitan Tabernacle celebrated the jubilee of the laying of the foundation stone of their church by a great thanksgiving meeting, over which the Rev. Archibald Brown, the pastor, presided. The records of the church, issued to the mem- bers in pamphlet form, show that it is the second eldest Baptise community in London. Its history dates back for two centuries and a half. Following- a number of distinguished pastors came Charles Haddon Spurgeon, a youth of nine- teen years of age. fresh from the country, who took the metropolis by storm and crowded the church. To accommodate the great congrega- tions the Tabernacle in Newington Butts, with an auditorium capable of holding nearly 5,000 persons, was erected, the foiridatkm stone being laid on August 16th, 1859, and the great build- ing was opened on MarCtl 18th, 1861- On April 20th, 1898, while the College Conference was in session, the Tabernacle caught fire, and in less than two hours was in ruins. On September 19th, however, a newlv-erected < Tabernacle was opened free from debt, having #ost £ 45,000.

( I FATAL NEW DRUG. An inquest was held fit Brighton ON Monday on Mrs. Adriana Wyborn, wif( of Dr. Arthur Wyborn, of CamdeJl-road; London. She had been staying' at the house of her brother at Brighton, had suffered from sleeplessness, and had told her husband a friend had recom- mended veronal tablets, Dr. Wyborn said he tol-d hpr neither to buy nor take them, and that would prescribe something. A bottle contain ing veronal tablets was found in the lady's <5messing case. Dr. Wyborn declared it a "wicked thing that such tablets could be purchased as they had been done. A doctor who was called in gave it as his opinion that Mrs. Wyborn died from an over- dose of veronal. There had, he said, only been one case of death from veronal hitherto, and that was after taking naif an ounce. Verona! was a new drug, and there was not much in- formation about its effects as yet. The jury returned a verdict that Mrs Wybom died from an overdose of veronal, but that there was not sufficient evidence to convince them that it was a case of misadventure.

AN IMPUDENT BURGLAR. A burglary of an impudent eharacter was per- petrated at Islington Lodge, near Kings Lynn, at an early hour on Monday morning The liotisp, is situated in a bnply district, and is occupied by Mrd. Hawkins, who is well known for her interest in the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Shortly after five o'clock Mrs. Hawkins heard a noise in her bedroom, and &D looking round she saw a man standing in the room, wth a large knife in his hand. Holding the knife in a chreatering position, the man demanded of Al-s. Hawkins, who is an elderly lady, 11 What she had gob for in'm.' She told him where her purse a.nd gold were. The burglar took possession of the ii. j"d after opening the purse and examining its con -ocs he grumbled at the smallnesi of the sum of nieney ip it. He then lefl, the room, and Mrs. Hawkins gave the alarm. Her screams evidently frightened the burglar, for nothing further was touched in the house. Later in the day a man wilo was seen to emerge from a plantation not far from Islington Lodge was taken into custody by the pcliee.

EARL IN YACHT MISHAP. < Earl De La Warr and party, on board his lord- Ihip's yawl Lady Hi da, which arrived at Cowes on Monday from Dover, had an alarming experience in the evening. The yacht was anchored off Cowes Pier. At low water she grounded on the Scrape Bank, and heeled completely over on the port;aide, which was submerged. When the aeeidi-r-t occurredE..rl De La Warr and the others on Tio:Li-d, who included one lady, were below having tea. They were thrown from their seats and drenched by, the inruehing water. A number of boats from the yachts in the vicinity ouicklv out off to their, assistance, and his lordship and party were rescued. The Lady Hilda was refloated soon afterwards.

As a Parliamentary White Paper, the re- port of the Sab-Committee of the Committee of Imperial Defence appointed to inquire into certain questions of naval policy by Lord Charles Beresford, has now been issued. The general purport of Lord Charier Beresford's statement, made in a letter tc the Prime Minister, was to the effect that from April 15, 1907, when he assumed com- mand of the Channel Fleet,, down to the date of his letter the Admiralty arrangements for war were inadequate to ensure the safety of the country. The general conclusion of the Committer however, is that investigation has shown that during the time in question no danger to the country resulted from the Admiralty's arrangements for war, whether considered from the standpoint of the- organisation and distribution of the fleets, the number of ships, or the preparation of war plans." The report goes on to state the Com- mittee's opinion that arrangements quite defensible in themselves, though not ideally perfect, were in practice seriously hampered through the absence of cordial relations be- tween the Board of Admiralty and the Com- mander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet. The Board of Admiralty do not, appear t-o- have taken Lord Charles Beresford suffi- ciently into their confidence as to th€ reasons for dispositions to which he took ex- ception; and Lord Charles Beresford, on the other hand, appears to have failed to appre- ciate and carry out the spirit of the instruc- tions of the Board, and to recognise their paramount authority. The Committee have been impressed with the differences of opinion among officers of high rank and professional attainments re- gal ding important principles of naval strategy and tactics, and they look forward with much confidence to the further develop- ment of a Naval War Staff, from which the Naval members of the Board and flag officers and their staffs at sea may be expected to derive common benefit.

CHARGE OF MARRYING AN AUNT Charged with committing bigamy by marrying his aunt, Walter Charles Launee- lot Peck, lately living at Coventry, appeared at South-Western Police-court, London. Accused j was recently before the court on a summons at the instance of the aunt, who sought to obtain an order for alimony on the ground of her husband's desertion. The accused raised the point that, as his auntr she had no legal claim on him, and the magistrate, accepting the objection as a good one, dismissed the complaint. Then followed his arrest The aunt, Amelia Peck, of Tooting, giving evidence, said she married the accused six years ago. He told her that his wife died twelve years since. The Accused: Didn't you ask me to marrv you? The Witness (indignantly): No, certain! f not. You put up the banns without my know- ledge, and persuaded me to go through the form of marriage with you ?- N o. Accused was committed for trial.
