THE EASTERN CRISIS. FAILURE 0] GENERAL l«'j?TATIEFF'S .MISSION. The bold resolve >«f England as evidenced in the calling out of the reserves and the consequent resigna- tion.of Lord Derbv seeuis to have given Austria a more decided policy. Cotmt ..Andrassy is reixn-ted to have offered a more determined front to tlie proposals of Unssia. General Ignatieft was told that the utipulations of the 1ireaty of peace Will by Austria be considered as not exitting before Europe has sanctioned those which are not of a mere military .tharacter. He ako learned that Austria and England of one mind-dz., that Rusftia was not justified in having proceeded as the mandatory of Europe. The-i,mission, it is said, .did not „0 bevond mere ^h Count Anaratsy and foreign ambassadors, and ^morandum or protocol waa drawn up. It is believed «u»t the Russian general on leaving Vienna for St. PeteR^urg, on Sunday, took with him overtures declaring several stipulations in 1.;he treaty of peace ti) be incompatible with Austi^an interests, and .chiefly a demand by Austria for sucl; .a reorganisation.of the western portion of the rialk-ati Peninsula as will be favourable to Austria s exclusive interests, without removing or weakecjiig the suzerainty of the Sultan .over Albania or Bnia. General Tgnatieff is said to have been without powers to conclude any arrangement, nd could only accent the Austrian declarations ad referendum. He found Cmmt Andrassy very firm, and on Jus asking for further instructions twin home he was recalled, as Prince CJortschakoif prderred to make direct telegraphic communications to the Austrian Foreign Minister. He was to convey to tAe Russian Government the expression of Austria/s desire for a renewal of the negotiations for the assembling of a Con^r«ss to discuss the treaty. It is rumoured at Berlin that Prince Gortaehakoff told our representa- tive at the Russian Court thst he is quite ready to yield to the demand of England that the whole of the treaty shall be submitted to the congress for discussion, in Paris the result of this mission is regarded as a hopeful sign, and the Republique Francaise congratulates Austria on having at last taken an attitude which is suitable to her interests and her dignity. In the Hungarian Parliament on Saturday there was & debate on the situation, when much sympathy was expressed for the position of England. One deputy, an intimate friend of Herr Tisza, said: "If we do not decide upon joining England, should she enter upon War with ily^sia, the end of the Monarchy will infaliibly WtiySi" deputies rved that the wtwl Hungarian nation condemned the policy of compensa- tion and partition. They earnestly advocated &n alliance with England, and deprecated the idea of an understanding with Russia.

IMPORTANT CIRCULAR DESPATCH FROM ENGLAND. A lengthy despatch which was sent by Lord Salisbury to the British embassies abroad was published on Tuesday. It recapitulates the various steps which Her Majesty's Government have taken during this year to secure a lasting peace. It states that on January 14th Lord Loftua was instructed to state to Prince Gortscha- koff that any treaty concluded between Russia and the Porte affecting the treaties of 1856 and 1871 must be an European treaty, and would not be valid without the assent of the Powers who were parties to those treaties. To this the Russian Government replied that they did not intend by themselves to settle European questions. Upon peace being signed Lord Loftus was again in- structed to repeat that whilst England was willing to recognise any arrangements made at Kysanlik' for the conclusion of an armistice, and for the settlement of the bases of peace as binding between the two belligerents, yet in so far as those arrangements were calculated to modify European treaties and to affect general and British interests, her Majesty's Government were un- able to recognise in them any validity, unless they were made tiie subject of a formal agreement among the parties to the treaty of Paris. Prince Gortschakoff replied that to effect an armistice certain bases of peace were necessary, but they were only to be considered pre- liminaries and not definite as regards Europe. Austria then invited England to join in a Congress, and her M&jesty's Government at once assented but stated it would be desirable to have it understood that adl questions dealt with in the treaty of peace between Russia and Turkey should be considered as subjects to he discussed in the Congress, and that no alteration in the condition of things previously established by the treaty should be acknowledged as valid until it has received the assent of the Powers." Subsequently Lord Derby explained that it must be distinctly understood that before we entered the Congress every article in the treaty must be placed before the Congress, not neces- sarily for acceptance, but in order that it might be con- sidered what articles required acceptance or concurrence by the several Powers and what did not. To this the Russian Ambassador communicated a telegram from Prince Gortschakoff to the effect that the treaty would soon be in the hands of all the Powers and that Russia had nothing to conceal. The Prince also told Lord Loftus that "in the Congress each Power would have the full liberty of its appreciations and effects." In another despatch Lord Loftus said that the Prince told him that of course he could not impose silence on any member of the Congress, but he could only accept a discussion on thoae portions of the treaty which affected the European interests." On March 21st, Lord Derby again replied that her Majesty's Government would only go into Congress on condition that every article of the treaty was placed before it. Count Scliouvaloff on the 26th ult. wrote to Lord Derby defining" the liberty of appreciation and action to mean that it leaves to the other Powers the liberty of raising such questions at the CoifjjreSF as they might think it fit to discuss, and reserves to Russia the liberty of accepting or not ac- cepting the discussion of these questions." Lord Salisbury says Her Majesty's Government deeply regret this decision. If a considerable portion of the treaty stipulations were likely to be approved, the reservation of a right or discretion to refuse to accept a discission of them in Congress of Powers would, says his Lordship, not on that account be the less open to the THost serious objection. An inspection of the-treaty will sufficiently show that her Majesty's Government coaild not in a European Congress accept any partial or fragmentary examination of its provisions. Every msiterial stipulation which it contains involves a de- parture from the treaty of 1856. To the declaration of the protocol of 1871 Russia assented, and it states "that it is an essential principle of the law of nations that no power can liberate itself from the engagements of a treaty, nor modify the stipulations thereof, unless with the consent of the contracting Powers by means of an amicable arrangement." It is impossible for her lilajesty's Government, without violating the spirit of this declaration, to acquiesce in the withdrawal from it he cognisance of the Powers of articles in the new 'treaty which are modifications of the existing treaty 'engagements and inconsistent with them. The general nature of the treaty and the combined effects of its .several stipulations upon the interestHof the signatory Powers furnish another and a conclusive reason against ■the separate discussion of any one portion of those ■ stipulations apart from the rest. By the new Bulgaria a strong Slav state will be created under the auspices and control of Russia, possessing important harbours upon the shores of the Black Sea and the Arehipelcgo, and conferring upon "that Power a preponderating influence over both political and commercial relatione in seas. It will be so constituted as to merge in the dominant Slav majority a considerable mass of population which is Greek in race and sympathy, and which views with ■ alarm the prospect of absorption into a community alien to it not only in nationality but in political tendency and in religious allegiance. The provisions by which this new state is to be subjected to a ruler whom Russia will practically choose, its administra- tion framed by a Russian commissary, and the first working of its institutions commenced under the con- trol of a Russian army, sufficiently indicate the political system of which in future it is to form a part. The provisions that the reforms in Thessaly and Epirus are to be secured under the supervision of the Russian Government cannot be received with satisfaction either by Greece or the Powers. The general effect will be to increase the power of the Rwisn Empire in the countries and on the shores where the Greek popula- tion predominates, not only to the prejudice of that nation, but also of every country having interests in the East of the Mediterranean Sea. The territorial sever- ance from Constantinople of the .Greek, Albanian, and Slavonic provinces, which are still left under the government of the Porte, will cause their administra- tion to be attended with constant difficulty and even I embarrassment, and will nutmlly deprive the Porte of the political strength which mi. lit»have arisen from their possession, but will expose the inhabitants to the serious risk of anarchy. The compulsory alienation of Bessarabia from Roumania, the extension of Bulgaria to the shores of the Black Sea, which are principally inhabited by Mussulmans and Greeks, and the acquisition of the f important harbour of Batomn will make the will of the Russian Government dominant over all the vicinity of the Black Sea. The acquisition of the strongholds of Armenia will place the population of that province under the immediate influence of tttC Power which holds them, while the extensive European trade which now passes from Trebiz.»nde to Persia will, in conse- quence of the cessions in Kurdistan, be liable to be arrested, at the pleasure of the Russian Government, iby the prohibitory barriers of their commercial system. Provision is made for an indemnity of which the amount is obviously beyond the means of Turkey to discharge, kcvcn if the fact be left out .of account that-Any surplus »<* £ its revenue is already hypothecated to other •■creditors. The mode of payment of this .indemnity is deft in vague language to vsltorior nogociaticais between Russia and the Porte. Payment may be.,demanded immediately, or it may bereft as an unredeemed and ■ unredeemable obligation to weigh down the indepen- dence of the Porte for many years. Its discharge may be cemmuted into a yet larger,cession of territory, or it may take the form of special engagements, ssnbordina- tiiiexia? all things the policy of Turkey to that of Russia. It is impossible not to recc/mise in this provision an instr.KL-ient of formidable efficacy for the coercion of the Ottoman Government if the necessity for employ- ing it should arise. The combined effect (j, these stipulations is also to depress,, almost to the point of entire subjection, the political independence <of the Government of Constantinople. The formal jurisdic- tion of-that Government extends over geographical positions which must under ail ekcumstances be vf the deepest iir.erest to Great Britain. It is in the power of the Ottoman Government to dose or to opes the Strait:, which form the natural highway of nations between the LEg-ean Sea and the iSnxine. It" dornÜ¡ion recognised at the head of the Persian Gulf, onsihe chores of the Levant, and in the iimmediate neighbor- iliood of the feiiez Canal. It cannot be otherwise thap a matter of extreme solicitude to ti is country that the government to which this jurisdiction belongs should be so closely pressed by the political outposts of c gseatly superior Power, that its independent action existence in almost impossible. As these results do not arise from .any single article h from the treaty as a whole, a disevssion limited to articles selected by one Power in the Ce.iigress would be an Elusory remedy for the dangers to English interests, and to the permanent peace of Europe, which would rCfm:it from the s&ite of things; which treaty pro- poses to establish, Thfc object of h& Majesty's Govesii'nent at the Constantinople Conference was to give effect to the policy of reforming Turkey under the Ottoman Govern- ment, removing' well-grounded grievance, azid thus preserving the Empire-, mtil the time when it might be able te dispense with (protective guarantees. It was obvious :that this couå only be brought about by rendering the different populations so far couteited with their position as to in* £ )ire them with p, spirit of patriotism, and make the-, ready to defend Hie Otto- man Empire as loyal subjects of the Sultau. This policy was frustrated by tte unfortunate resistance of the Ottoman Government itself, and under the altered circumstances of the present time the same result cannot be attained to the same extent by the same means. Largo changes may, and no dtubt, will be requkife in the treaties by which South-eastern Europe has hitherto been ruled. But good government, assured peace, jtud freedom for populations to those blessings have been strange are still the object,. which this country .earnestly desires to secure. In requiring a full consideration of the genera! interests which the itew arrangements threaten to effect, hw Majesty's Government believe tbthey are taking thfc surest means of securing those objects They would have entered .a congress in whidi the stipula- tions in question could have been examined as a whole in their relations to existing treaties, to the acknow- ledged fights of Great Britain and of the other Powers, and to tic beneficent ends which the united action of Europe bAS always been directed to secure. B-uj neither the interests which her Majesty's Government are specially bound to guard, nor the well-being of the regions with which the treaty deals, would be consulted by the assembling of a congress whose deliberations were to be restricted by such reservations as those which have been laid down by Prince Gortschakoff in his most recent communication. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Timrs says the circular is regarded there as a new proof that the British Cabinet has decided upon war. At Vienna it created a great impression. All the papers re-echo it, but loud and harmonious as the echo is. it is still but a faint reflex of the effect produced on the public mind. As yet only a telegraphic resume of the despatch has arrived, but extensive enough, nevertheless, to enable one to judge of its whole tenour. Primarily, this deep impression is due to the large and statesmanlike view taken in the circular of the real bearings of the Treaty of San Stefano and to the clear, manly language in which this view is expressed.

CONTINENTAL OPINION OF ENGLAND'S POLICY. Respecting Lord Derby's resignation the Paris Debats thinks it has caused too much sensation. It observes, on the appointment of Lord Salisbury, that Experience has made him acquainted with Russian diplomacy and diplomatists. He cannot have forgotten his trip to Constantinople, nor his instructive intimacy with General Ignatieft." The Republique Francaise remarks that England has determined to reply to the arrogance of Russia by a measure showing her firm resolution not to abandon the vindication of her interests and her honour. Now, those who know well the English nation, are aware of the energy with which it can employ the almost inexhaustible resources at its command to carry out any undertaking entered upon under the impulse of such feelings. England appears this time thoroughly resolved not to yield, and we all know with what obstinacy she prosecutes what she has once begun." The tone of the Russian papers is very warlike. The Journal de St. Petersburgh states that Russia has done everything to localise the war in the East, and that if other Powers are not satisfied with the pacific settlement that has been arrived at, Russia will be very sorry; but will await, arms in hand, any Power attempting to deprive her of the fruits of the sacrifices she has imposed upon herself. The Gazette de St. Petersburg says England means to go to war, but "Russia has no reason to dread it, as she knowns that her blows must be far more destruc- tive to England than any England can aim at Russia. Moreover, a war with England must finally decide a great many questions which the treaty of San Stefano barely touches." The Qalos advises that not a single man be removed from Turkish soil until the definite treaty of peace be signed that a call be made upon the Porte to summon England to withdraw its fleet from the Sea of Ai armora; that Russia should immediately occupy the Bosphorus and fortify it to, and then inform the Turkish Government that, if the British fleet have not withdrawn within 48 hours, their troops would march into Constantinople; that in the anticipation of war with England Gallipoli be occupied that in the event of the Sultan's life being endangered by intrigwes similar to those which brought about the death of Abdul Azziz, they occupy Constantinople, as otherwise there would be no authority competent to sign a definite treaty of peace."

Empertfll jjarltamfnt. FRIDAYE In the Lords, in reply to Granville, Lord Baaeens- field said the message with regard to the calling oat of the reserve forces would be seat down on Monday, and he should think Thursday would be a reasonable day for its consideration. It would be brought before both Houses simultaneously. The Matrimonial Causes Acts Amendmont Bill passed through committee, and the Duke of Richmond and Gordon presented a bill to amend I he law relating to Endowed Schools and Hospitals (Scotland). In the Commons, replying to a question pnt by Mr Burt for Mr Macdonald, the Home Secretary said there was a great difference ef opinion among inspectors and owners of mines as to whether blasting should be per- mitted in mines, and he proposed to send Mr Maule to the inquest on the colliery disaster in North Stafford- shire, to see whether the opinion he had expressed ia a recent report upon the use of gunpowder in mines was confirmed. The subject was one worthy of serious con- sideration, and if a Bill were presented of a motion made upon it he would give it his best attention. The Mutiny Bill was read a third time, and the Marine Muting Bill passed through Committee after which, on the motion for going into Supply, Dr Cameron moved a resoultion that the appointments of local postmasters should rest solely with the Postmaster-General, and not, as at present, en the nomination of members of Parliament, but this was defeated by 154 votes to 78. The House subsequently went into Committee of Supply until the sitting was suspended. MONDAY. In the Lords the Queen's message calling out the re- serve forces was read. It declares that the step has been taken in the interests of peace and for the maintenance of her Mjijesty's empire. The debate on the message was arranged for Monday next. The Scotch Education Bill was read a second time, and the Mutiny Bill passed the same stage. The Public Baths and Washhouses Bill and the bill to amend the Scotch law of entail passed through committee. In the Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer stated his answer to the Marquis of Hartington that there were no other communications with regard to the con- ference negotiations but what were of a confidential character. Mr Gathorne Hardy appeared at the bar and handed to the speaker the royal message calling up the reserves. It was agreed to consider the message on Mon- day next. On the house going into committee on the Irish Sunday Closing Bill, Mr Murphy moved that the chairman leave the chair, and, in a speech occupying two hours and a half, laboured to set forth that the measure had not been adequately discussed. Mr Onslow followed with the same object in view, two or three attempts to count out the House failing. The sitting was prolonged until 20 minutes past six on Tuesday morning, by a few Irish members opposing the Irish Sunday Closing Bill on the old obstructive principles. Attempts to count out, and division after division, followed each other through the night with great rapidity. Mr Gladstone stayed until five o'clock resisting the factious opposition. At that hour Mr Raikes left the chair, which was im- mediately occupied by Sir Selwvn Ibbetson until Mr Raikes' return at six o'clock. A compromise wasaf'er- wards effected, and the debate on the bill was arranged to be resumed on Thursday. TUESDAY. 10 the Lords, the Marine Mutiny Bill was read a first time, and the Mutiny Bill went through committee. Lord Thurlow urged the Government favourably to con- sider the proposal for opening museums and picture galleries on Sunday. The Lord Chancellor and the Bishop of London opposed the motion, mainly on the ground that it would prove the first step towards intro- ducing into this country the continental mode of spend- ing Sunday. Lords Morley, Truro, and Danraven sup- ported the proposition. Earl Granville said he was favourable to the proposition in theory, but thought public opinion was not sufficiently ^pronounced on the subject to attempt to put it into practice. The subject then dropped. In the commons, several questions were put in re- ference to the diplomatic correspondence relating to the Congress, and the possibility of militia regiments being sent on foreign service. The Chief Secretary for Ire- land confirmed the report of the a-sasination of Lord Leitrim, his agent, and a car driver, in county Donegal, and the House then commenced the debate on Mr Fawcett's three resolutions, dealing with the subject of Indian finance, the increased salt duty, and the trades' license tax. An amendment was moved by Mr Maclver justifying the course adopted by the Indian administra- tion. The amendment was not seconded. A long dis- cussion followed, and the House divided on the first re- solution, condemnatory of the salt tax, which it negatived by 163 to 87. A division was then taken on th3 second resolution, relating to the traded license tax, which was defeated by 159 to 96. The third resolution was withdrawn. WEDNESDAY. In the Commons, Mr Bourke, in reply to a question, said "the trustworthy person" who had informed the English ambassador, at Vienna, that Prince Gortschakoff had declared that Russia would rot allow the cession of B"ssirabia to be discussed by the Congress, was the Roumanian agent. at Vienna. Mr Pease moved the second reading of the Viccination Law (Penalties) Bill. MrSctater-Booth said that, to do away with th* penal- ties, as proposed by the bill, would entirely destroy the efficacvof tho Vaccination Acts. In tfie course of the debate Mr Gladstone supported the suggestion of Mr Forster., that the bill should be read a secoud time, and ihit there should be an inquiry as to the necessity for the accumulative penalties, as to the administration of the Jaw, and how far the bill would meet the grievances complained of. The bill was thrown ont bv 171 votes against to 82 for. A new writ was ordered for South Northumberland. THURSDAY. In the LordQ., replying to a question., Lord Elphinstone explained the means that would bo adopted to raise the Eurydice. and said there woult be a searching investi- gation into the canso of the dis-ister. Tho nhoprics Bill passed through committee. The bill to m ike the fencing of thrashing machines compulsory, so as to diminish the risk of accidents to agricultural labourers, was read a second time. The Marine Mutiny Biil was also read a second t me, and tho Mutiny B ll a third time. In the Commons, replying to Mr Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the whole effort of the Government throughout the conference negotiations was directed to obtaining a distinc' understanding that, if they entered the congress every article of 'he treaty of San Stefano s'noa'd be laid before it. Her Majesty's Government considerel that Russia had the same right of withdrawal from the conference as was claimed by Eng- land. Lord Derby did not absolutely decline the pro- posal of Germany for a preliminary conference, but expressed nn opinion that it would be usele s. There had no fresh negociations relating to the congress since the despa'ch of Prince Girtsch.ikrff. Mr Bonrke explained that the declaration of Prince Gortschakoff, that Russia would not allow the question of the retro- cession of Bessarabia to be submitted to the congress, was made in the first instance to the Roumanian agent at St. Petersburg. The Chancellor of the Exchequer then proceeded to make his annual statement on tho budget, the main features of which are referred to in another column.

THE MINISTERIAL CHANGEB. Consequent on the resignation of Lord Derby, the Queen has appointed the Marquis of Salisbury Foreign Secretary, the Right Hon. Gathorne Hardy to the India-office, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Fredk. A. Stanley to the War-omce, and Sir H. Sehvin-Ibbeteon, Bart, M.P., Financial Secretary to the Treasury. It is understood that Mr Gathorne Hardy will remain in the Lúwer House during the im]wjrtant Eastern debates which are expected but he will in a very short time be elevated to the peerage. Only one vacancy has beeft caus- d, namely, for North Lancashire, where Colonel the Hon. F. Stanley will seek re-election on his appoint- ment as Secretary of State for War. The- appointment of H Gathorne TJ;irdy, to the India-office, does not compel the right hon. gentleman to vacate his seat for Oxford University, the reason being that, as War Secretary, he already held office under the Crown. Sir Selwin-Ibbetson, who is transferred froni the Under- Secretaryship for the Home Department to the Financial Secretaryship of the Treasury, also retains his seat, neither the position he is leaving nor that to which he is promoted being technically under the Crown. The appointment of Lord Salisbury as Foreign Minister has given general satisfaction on both sides of the House. Sir Michael Hicks Beach has succeeded to the India-office. Sir Charles Adderley is to be raised to the peerage, and Lord Sandon becomes the Secretary to the Board of Trade. Lord George Hamilton will become Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, in place of Lord Sandon. The Under- Secretaryship of the India-office, thus vacated, will be filled by Mr E. Stanhope. Mr Thomas Salt leaves the 1 iocal Government Board to become the Parliamentary Secretary of the Board of Trade, and will be replaced by Mr J. G. Talbot. The Under-Secretaryship of the Home Department will be assumed by Sir Matthew White Ridley.

I, emttah A proposal from the coalowmera to increase the work- ing hours from ten to twelve r day has caused great consternation among the Darham miners. Mr William Ewart was returned for Belfast, for the seat vacated by Mr Johnston, his majority over Dr. Seeds being 3,347. Both the canlidate. are, like the late member, Conservatives. A new illns rated Magazine of Art iunnounced to be published by Messrs Cassell, Fetter, and Galpin, on the 25th inst., in which the fine arts in all their branches will be fully represer.ted by pen and pencil. Henry Howles, who shot his sweetheart Miss Allen, at Cassington, last December, in a fit of jealous rage, and was condemned to death at the last Oxford assizes by Lord Justice Baggallev, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at Oxford Castle on Monday morning. The pit, in Apedale, in which the explosion occurred last week, is being drowned out for the purpose of ex- tinguishing the fire, which is spreading to an alarming extent. The flooding of this mine involves filling several adjoining mines with water, throwing several hundred men out of work, and immensely damaging the property. A parliamentary retsrn shows that the number of bushels of malt charged with duty in the past year was —in England, 52,576.009 in Scotland, 2,946)81 and in Ireland, 3,021,062. The total amouut of revenue charged was The quantity ot barley im- ported into the United Kingdom during the year was 3,628,667. The youngest dSutante who has come before the public for a long tllm. made her appearance on Saturday at the LanghamHall, LORdon, undertae name of "Tiny." Tiny is a child of genius, aged seven, who already recites and declaims Tennyson's "Charge of the Six Hundred," much better (because more naturally) than some highly popular actre. ses of mature years. Tiny is also a clever pianst. An account has just been published of the receipts and disbursements of the Duchy of Cornwall for the year ending the 31st of December, 1877. The total receipts for the year were £96,1)60 10s Itl. including a balance of .£9,765 10* 6id from the year 1876. The total disbursement* for the year were were .£90,708 15s_2tj. leaving 14s lid in the hands of the agents. The payments made for the use of tho Prince of Wales for the year amounted to £tI9,339 0s 8d. At ail the services at St. Alban's, Holborn, on Sunday, large congregations assembled, and it was apparently expected that some declaration would be made in regard to the monition lately issued by Lord Penzance. No reference, however, was made to the circumstances by Mr Machonoohie or any of his curates, and, so far as the wearings of vesiments, the use of lighted candle*, the makni of the sign of the CrosR, the genuflexions, and the solemn act of consecration, nochsnge was made from the ordinary ceremonial. A telegram was received at Dundee on Monday from St. John's, Newfoundland, announcing tho arrival of the steamer Falcon, from seal fishing. The captain reports having spoken the steamer Arctic, of Dundee, Captain Adams, with 20,000 seals. As the Arctic was still seal- ing, she will probably add considerably to her cargo be- fore she returns to St. John's to discharge and fit out for old seal fishing. The Arctic'a cargo will yield about 200 tons. Information has reached Bristol of a fatal termination to a strange adventure. On Thursday morning week three young men employed at the Avonade Engine Works engaged an open boat at Bristol for a trip down the Channel. Soon after starting the heavy snowstorm began, and one of the party insisted upon being put ashore at Weston-super-Mare. The other two then re- sumed the voyage, and on Friday morning the boat was found on a sand bar ou'side Watchet, one of the men lying in her frozen to death, his companion lyieg on the edge of the side unconscious. Monday was the day fixed for all the prisons in the country being transferred from the local prison author- ities to the control of the Secretary of Siaie. The main- tenance of the prisons wdl be provided for under the Prisons Act of July last, by Parliamentary grants instead of by local rates. The justices, however, will still possess the power of appointing certain of their members as a Visiting Committee, without the power of appointing officers or the responsibility of levying rates. The Com- mittee will have power to suspend officers from the per- formance of their duties pending inquiries under the authority of the Secretary of State. A distressing suicide took pLce at the Heme Ilill Station, on the London, Chatham, and Djvcr line, on Suuaay morning. It appears that a gentlemanly-dressed man went on Sunday morning to the stableman at a public-hou«e, and asked him it he knew any person who wanted to earn 1O. The stableman, supposing that he required a horse and trap, asked where he wanted to go to, bat the man said he only wanted his hoe cleaned, and he would pay 103 to anyone who would do it. The stableman cleaned the shoes, and got a half-sovereign for it, and remarked that the gentleman appeared to be much excited. While the operation of shoe cleaning was going on he told the oder that he had lost ^81,800 over the Grand National, and he could not pay About half an hour afterwards the man went to the railway sration, and seeing a train coming he went and deliber- ately laid his neck across the rail and the engine com- pletely decapitated h: ,n. In deceased's packets, a card bearing the nam" Mr Cummins, solicitor, Canterbury," together with a gold watch and a considerable amount of monev were found. THE KURTDICE DISASTER.—On Monday tho improved state of the weather promised tht botter results would attend the diving operations at the wreck of the Enry- dic,, but the wind freshened, and,combined with a he ivy under swell, rendered the task of lAC divers very difficult. Th"y made two debcentOt. The foretopmast and studding sail boom was cleared and brought to the surface, and also a small boat which was apparently used by the officers. Succes-ful operations can, in consequence of the state of the ride, only be pursued in veiy steadv weather. In consequence of the rough weather the Eurydice has at times ro'led into the heavy seas, and having run off her bilge on to her kee), has slightly changed her position. A BREWER'S WIFE THE MOTHER OF QCF.EN?.—Dur- ing the troubles in the reign of Ch irl< s I, a country girl came to London in search of a place as a seivant- maid; but, not succeeding, she hired herself to carry ont beer from a beerhouse, and was one of tho-e called tub women The h ewer, observing a good looking g il in this low pursuit, took hor his family as a seivant, and after a short time married her. He died while she was yet a young woman, and left her the bulk of his fortu e. The husI1(SS of the brewery was dropped, and to the young woman was recommcm'e i Mr Hyde, as a skilful lawyer, to arrange her husband's afhir. Hyde, who became afterwards the great Ea-1 of Clarendon, finding the widow's fortune was considerable, married her. Of his marriage there was no other issue than a daughter, who subsequently became the wife of J-imes II. and mother of Mary and AoHe, Queens of England. Brewers Gazette.

Important Caution.—Thirty years' well deserved and world-wide reputation of Du Barry's Food has led some Bpecuiafprs to puff up ail kinds of foods. However. Mr Pye Henry Chevasse. F.K.C.S., Author of "Advice to a mother," analysed 113 ofjthese, and delared Du Barry's Food to be the best. Likewise Dr B. E.
