Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., and Mr. Patrick H. Thomas of Aberlemno had an interview with the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson, at the office of the Board of Trade, on Saturday. The deputation presented memorials from the county of Forfar and the royal burghs of Perth, St. Andrew's, and Montrose, urg ing the Board of Trade to take steps for ascertaining the present condition of the lights of the river Tay, and for having them put into an efficient state. The Judical Committee of the Privy Council sat on Saturday in the Council Chamber, Whitehall. The lords present were the Lords Justices Knight Bruce and Turner and Sir E.• V. Williams.

The Earl and Countess of Wilton have issued invitations for a grand dinner on the Gth proximo, to meet the Duke of Cambridge. We have to announce the death of Sir Belling ham Reginald Graham, Bart., who expired at his resi dence in Park-street on Friday evening. Sir Bellingham was born in 1789, and succeeded as seventh baronet on the death of his father in 17%. He was twice married—first, in 1810, to Harriet, daughter of the late Mr. George Clark, of West Hatch, Essex, and by her (who died in 1830) leaves one surviving daughter, the Marchioness of Done gall ; secondly, in 1831, to Harriett, daughter of the late Rev. Robert Cottam, by whom he leaves a family of two sons and three daughters. The deceased baronet was in his 77th year, and is succeeded by his eldest son, Reginald Henry, late a captain in the Rifle Brigade. A grand review of volunteers and sham fight took place on Saturday in P►nshanger Park, the seat of Earl Cowper, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. Besides the 2nd Herts Administrative Bat talion, and an Essex corps, nearly 900 men of the London Rifle Brigade, the Queen's Westminsters, and St. George's, were also present, making a total force of 1,300 men. Earl Cowper was brigadier, assisted by Captain Adjutant Jones as brigadier major, with Captain Bax and Cornet Howe as sides-de-camp. The reviewing officer, Colonel Erskine, inspector-general of volunteers, highly praised the com manders and the battalions for the manner in which the operations were carried out. The Central Cottage Improvement Society opens to-day at the Society of Arts, Adelphi, an interesting collection of competitive plans for a labourer's cottage (detached). Prizes of 101. and 51 were offered for the best and second best, and the important,e attached to this class of building may be measured by the fact that no fewer than 107 architects have thought it worth their while to compete. The weekly meetings of the members of the Royal Institution were brought to a close for the season on Friday evening by " Experiments on the Vibrations of Strings," by Professor Tyndall, in which he illustrated in various ingenious ways the results of recent investigations on the subject. Five performances are announced for the week at Her Majesty's Theatre—to-night, Diesoreth ; to-morrow night, Norma ; Thursday, La Sonnanthula, with Madlle. de Muraka as Aruba and Mr. Mohler as Elvin° ; Friday (in the morning), the Huguenots ; Saturday, Der Fro:- seAutz. The next novelty is positively to be It Seraglio. The operas announced for the present week at Covent-Garden are :—Norma, to-night ; Pea Diavolo, to- morrow night ; L'Egoile du Nord, on Thursday (first time this season, with Madlle. Adelina Patti, for the first time as Catarina); La Favorite, on Friday, and Don Giovanni an Saturday. There is just now almost a rage for Shakspere's playa in Paris. The first representation of the Merry Wires of Windsor, adapted to the French stage by M. Jules Barbier,has lately been given at theTheatreLyrique. A great deal of merriment was excited amongst the au dience ; but as in the case with Othello, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and some other of the great poet's plays which have been produced at Paris, they are not compre hended in the same sense and spirit as when played in Eng land in the language of the author. A few evenings ago the two sons of Abel-el- Rader, enveloped in their white burnous, were present at the Opera at Paris in one of the stage boxes. Between the acts they were invited to go behind the scenes and visit certain apartments which are only open to the artistes and a select but favoured few. The two Arabs afterwards returned to their box, and remained until the close of the performance. As a distinctive mark, the Prussians in the coming campaign are to wear a strip of white linen with a red cross worked upon it round their left arm. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 18, 1866 [ENCE. THE WAR. The time for speculation and conjecture had passed. It is now for facts writ ten in blood to speak. Armies, composed of hundreds of thousands of men, and equipped with the most perfect instruments of destruction that human science has been able to devise, are within a few hours' march of one another, and the telegraphic wires may at any moment announce that the terrible collision has commenced. Already two Kings have left their capitals. Hanover has been invaded at once from two sides —from the north through Holstein, and from the west by Westphalia, both the invading corps conve rging by means of the Harburg and Minden railways upon the Hano verian capital. In presence of these hostile demonstrations, the King has retired south to join his army at Gottingen , which will probably fall back still further to the south, till they unite with the Bavarians and Austrians. In a similar manner the Saxon King and army have retreated before the in vading Prussians, also for the purpose of leaning upon the strong arm of Austria. It is probable that both Dresden and Hanover are at this moment in the occupation of the Prussian troops. The first military or rather strategic suc cess remains, therefore, with Prussia. It is not to be supposed that General Benedek is inactive in presence of the facts which are being accomplished in North Germany, but what his plan of operations is remains shut up in his own breast and will not probably be known till his force begins to move, the news of which the telegraph may bring at any moment. On the Italian aide there is a remarkable dearth of news in the Italian journals as to the movements of the army, which is no doubt owing to superior orders. But there is enough to show that an ad vance was deemed imminent. By the latest accounts General Cialdini had seven divisions con centrated under him and General Bixio, had left Piacenza with his corps. The telegrams have announced that the King had left Florence for the army, and when be has arrived at Piacenza he will probably issue his manifesto. At Peachiera the greatest vigilance is exercised by the Austrians to prevent a surprise and 4,000 persons who were unable to lay in provi sions sufficient to support them during the expected siege, have been compelled to leave Mantua. The distance that separates the combatants, north and south, is diminishing hour by hour, and the lull that exists is the lull that precedes the whirlwind. (REUTER'S TELF,GBAYS.) MOVEMENTS OF GARIBALDI. 1 FLORENCE, Jews 18. Garibaldi left Como yesterday morning for Lecco, and was followed at noon by some troops. As soon as the volunteers are completely equipped they will proceed to Bergamo and Brescia. LAW INTZLLIGENCE. (Vila DAY.) COURT OF ARCHES. (Before the Right Hon. Dr. Lushington.) lIINVZILING AND VIANN V. VHS BIM PRIDZILICK ILINGISIVORD. ORNAMENTS IN CIiURCHNS. This case came before the court on lettenof request from the Diocesan Court of London. It was a suit by the churchwardens of St. Thomas, Stamford-hill, spinet the incumbent, Tucker Frederick Kingsford, for certain alte rations he bad made in the interior of the church as to a window, an oval caws, and other embelliahmenta, decora tions, or repairs. The churchwardens had aid certain articles praying for the removal and for the church to be restored. The defendant had filed his answer, and on the question of its admission the case came W court. Dr. Deane, Q.C., appeared for the churchwardens ; and the Queen's Advocate was for the Bev. Mr. Kingsford, in support of the answer. Dr. Deane prooseded to open the case, and to take the opinion of the Dean of Arches on the admission of the de fendant's answer. His Lordship begged to interrupt the learned advocate. He would suggest to the parties whether it would not he better for all and save considerable expense if he requested Archdeacon Sinclair to visit the eharoh , and make a report to him as to the alte ra ti on s made—what should be re moved and how it should be restored. It was clear that the incumbent had proceeded wit h o ut a faculty, and cer tain alterations had been made of which the churchwar wardens complained. The Queen's Advocate on the part of Mr. Kingsfo rd, would at once adopt the suggestion. The archdeacon could report to his lordship what alterations had been made, and his lordship could then decide on them. D r . Lushington said the course he had proposed would save considerable expense, which would probably fall on the incumbent, as he he had proceeded without a faculty. Dr. Deane expressed his readiness to adopt the slimes , tion. Archdeacon Sinclair could report to the court on the restoration of the church. The defendant would bear the expense, he presumed? His lordship said he would have to bear the expense. The Queen's Advocate admitted that a faculty ought to have been obtained before the alterations had been made. Dr. Deane wished to take the opinion of the court on the Bth and 9th new Arches rules as to the which the issue now came before his lordship—whether it was an affirmative issue or not. His lordship apprehended that it was an affirmative issue, as the defendant partly admitted, and he had mads the alteration without a faculty. The Queen's Advocate said the court would still have to decide what alteration should be made on the report of the archdeacon. The court made an order as indicated. This was the first case under the new rules, and showed the expedition used. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE LORD NIGEL KENNEDY. The bankrupt in this case was described as formerly of Montrose-house Petersham, since of Boulogne. The ac counts have already appeared in detail. The debts amount to 11,4451.. and there are substantially no asset', tbe de ficiency being stated at 10,809/. This was the sitting for discharge, the examination having been passed at last sitting. Mr. E. Reed appeared for the assignees, Mr. R. Griffiths and Mr. Treherne for creditors, and Mr. Bagley for the bankrupt. The bankrupt, examined by Mr. Reed, deposed-I was living in London in 1858, when I contracted a debt of 20/. with Mr. Dixon, optician. I was then living in my mother-in-law's house, in Grosvenor-square. The debts then incurred were for goods supplied to the house. In 1859 I was in Scotland part of the year, and lived in a house taken by the week. I was travelling about in 1859. Lord Ruthven came to me one visit in Grosvenor square. I then was trying to borrow money on my own account. He said he wanted to borrow money too, and he asked if I could borrow more, and let him have part of it. I went to Mr. Rogers, solicitor, in Regent. street. We agreed to raise 5,0001. Mr. Rogers was so long in getting the money that I went to Mr. Joel, and borrowed 3,0001. on our joint bills. We divided the money. The bills were to be taken up out of the larger loan which Mr. Rogers was raising. About 4,5001. was raised on Lord Ruthven's estate. I took half the money, and paid off half the amount of Joel's bilL I ex ecuted a deed which was a charge on my mother in-law's estate. I borrowed the 2,250/. of Lord Ruthven for a certain period. When sued for the money I pleaded the deed ea a defence to the action. The transaction with Lord Ruthven was in 1859. I had then no income of nay own, but I was allowed an income by Mrs. May, my mother-in-law and a small income, 2001 . a year, by my own family. I was married in 1858. My wife died in 1862. My mother-in-law gave us a house in Grosvenor-square to live in, paid all expenses and milliners' bills, and allowed us 1,500/.• year. Between 1858 and 1862 I contracted several debts, which are yet unpaid, and was sued several times, chiefly in respect of a house in Lang ham-place, which I took from Misses Edwards, at 5251. • year. I took the house unfurnished for 7, 14, or 21 year s, but never lived in it ; the rent was more than we could pay, and my inother-in.law objected to it. My mother.in-law paid between 2,0001. and 3,000/. of nay debts between 1858 and 1862. Those were my most pressing debts. She paid them off in 1862. I had been sued for some of them. Some were omitted acci dentally ; others were to have been paid the same year, but my wife having died in the interval, Mrs. May was not willing to pay the remainder , and compromised the matter by giving me 1,000/. to settle debts of about 2,0001. Alto gether she has paid about 3,000/. Mr. Dear's debt of 3001. for furniture imp lied to the house in Langham-place, in 1861, was not paid, the claim was disputed. I never usal the furniture . • it was sold. Before 18 58 , my eldest brother had given me 5001. to pay off my debts. Since 18113 my settled income from my mother-in-law has been 1,000/. a year ; she allows that for the maintenanoe and education of my three children. I have had no regular income my self,but I have made about 5001.0ut of companies sincelB62, chiefly by being director. That was all made in 1864. In 18631 sold a quantity of jewellery, Cashmere shawls, and valuable lace, at Phillips's auction-rooms, and realised about 1,2001. In that year I was living at Ryde for some months and incurred debts with batters, grocers, clothiers, and others. One item was a rich moire antique dressing gown, which was charged 21 guineas. Mr. Truetitt is a creditor for 21/. for perfumery, and Messrs. Nicholay, for furriery, 301. Mr. Hensbaw's account of 521. for a porcelain dinner set is disputed. lie first sent in an account for 361. ; this was offered to him, and he refused it. The china set was left with other things at Ryde. I left my housekeeper 2001. to pay the debts there, but it appears that was not sufficient. The greater part of Mr. Hensbaw's goods were returned to him. lir. Dash. wood, tea-dealer, Ryde, is a creditor for 511., and the York Hotel for 521. I wan about five months at Ryde. I don't remember being sued in 1863. In 1864 I was living at Petersham part of the time, and the rest of the time abroad. I went abroad owing to the pressure of creditors. Some had sued me. Mr. Carlheim sent in • bill for cigars, 1291., of which I paid 20/. in cash. I don't suppose that I smoked all the cigars myself, but they were bought for nay use. I was abroad from July 1864, to January, 1866. Whilst I was abroad I gave • bill of sale on all the property I had at Boulogne, but it was afterwards cancelled ; and I sold the pro_perty when I let the house, and I left some small debts abroad when I came away, including a nursery-gardener 61. for flowers. Mr. Reed-With all the debts that you owed in 1858, how did you expect to pay the largo amount of debt you contracted in 1864 ? Lord N. Kennedy-I don't think I did contract much debt in 1864. Mr. Reed read a list of debts contracted in that year. His lordship said that some of the dates were wrong. Mr. Reed-There is one strange debt in 1866-Mr. An drews, for a ring tailed monkey, 51. (Ltughter.) Lord Nigel-That was to amuse the children. Mr. Reed-There is a debt of 5401. to the British Mutual Loan Company, and several others, contracted from 1864 to 1866. How did you expect to pay them ? Lord Nigel-I was expecting money from the companies with which I was oonnected, and I had nay 1,000/. a year. The Commissioner-But you spent that 1,000/. a year, and contracted those debts besides. How did you expect to pay them? Lord Nigel-I expected money from the companies. By Mr. Reed-I had five servants in 1864, and six in 1865. I kept two ponies, one for the children, and one for the groom. I have now three servants and two nurses. Myptc allowance from Mrs. May has continued since the bank ruy. By 4r. G. Griffiths (who opposed for Misses Edwards)- I took the house in Langham-place in 1862, and continued it till 1864. I was obliged to dose. When I took the house my income was 1,5001. a year. net ceased in 1862. It was then 8001., and it is now 1,000/. I thought I was justified in taking a house at 500 guineas a year with that income, because I had other expectations, and Mrs. May, having sold her house in Grosvenor-square, and thereby turned us out, had promised to pay fora house for us. Mrs. ?day now lives in the Alexandra Hotel, Knightelindge. Misses Edwards spent 500 L on the house. I also laid out • good deal of money on it, but they have been paid the rent up to the time when I filed a bill in equity against them to compel them to accept surrender of the lease. I prosecuted the suit as far as I could, but it was allowed to drop. 1 don't know the costs to which the Mimes Edwards were put by those proceedings ; they have been paid 1001. Mr. Griffiths-In your accounts you state that you owe them 525/. for rent, and 1801. for costs. Lord Nigel-I don't owe them anything ; that is what they claim. I consider that they owe me 2001., but I cannot enforce it. When I filed those bills in equity I owed money, but cannot say whether it was 10,0001. It could not have been that. I have not been applied So to pay the 180/. of costa ; my solicitor may have been applied to. I have been out of the jurisdiction, but only at Paris and Boulogne. 7. l a a r t about 3001. in the deeerion of the house in -place. I tried to get & tent for it ; the Edwards had agreed to ac cept him, on my paying certain arrears. I got Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Allenby, as tenant ; but they at first refused to accept him, and after wards consented ; bat Mr. Lewis, basing once been refused, (THLS DAY.) Arasouon the worst effects of the late crisis have passed over, the Directors of the Bank of England appear to have no objection to the pres sure continuing in its present modified form. Doubtless a more or less considerable profit is made out of it, and the fortunate holders of Bank stock will get an increased dividend next September. Looking at the question as simply a matter of business, the Bank is right to maintain its rate of discount at 10 per cent. The advantages are obvious. First of all, it perpetuates the uneasiness of the public, creates a corresponding indisposition among other capitalists to lend, and therefore diminishes competition. Secondly, since the Government letter absolves the Bank from keeping any reserve whatever, they can trade with safety to their last shilling —an advantage which no other bank in the country can possibly possess. Thirdly, since to make use of the powers allowed by the Government would only tend to lower the rate of discount, the step, whatever profit might accrue, would not be to the benefit of the Bank. And if it is the sole, or even the main object of a public company, in vested with the rank and privileges of a national institution, to make all the profit within their power, the Directors of the Bank are acting wisely. Cho public, however, are not so easilysatisfied. The charge that the Government letter of license has been adroitly converted from a public aid to commerce into an instrument for increasing the corporate gains of the Bank has become too serious to he overlooked. A national establishment like the Bank of Eng land ought never to be exposed to such a reproach. We are ready to believe that it may be unjust, but in that case the Directors cannot be absolved from the charge of incompetency. There is no question, discarding the previous hypothesis, that the authorities of the Bank have proved un able to deal with the difficulties of the time. Almost at the moment when the suspension of the Act of 1844 was felt, by the unanimous consent of the commercial world, to be vitally necessary, the Governor and Deputy-Governor expressed a contrary opinion. It was fortunate that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER did not rely entirely upon their advice, for the Bank of England must in that case have been in imminent danger of stopping payment twenty-four hours afterwards. Since then the management of the Bank has been character ised by the same want of a comprehensive grasp at the exceptional circumstances of the time. It may seem strange that a body chosen from the first merchants of the world should prove inca pable, even when armed with full powers, to deal with a commercial crisis, and the event is certainly rare. It should be remembered, however, that if trade tends to expand some minds, it narrows others, with what result we now see. There can be no doubt that the maintenance of the Bank rate of discount at 10 per cent. has been a grievous disappointment to the mercantile community. At present the great object to be attained is the revival of confidence, and nothing can act in that direction with greater force than the reduction of the rate of discount from the present almost panic point. An able contemporary has put forth the view that until credit returns it would be better for the Bank to defer any change. But this argument is entirely wide of the question. The mere fact that the rate is as high as 10 per cent. at once discloses the chief obstacle to placing general credit upon its ordinary footing. It is not the first time, as we have had too often occasion to show, that the effect of putting extreme pressure upon the money market, instead of obviating a crisis, is equivalent to intensifying it or causing it altogether. In all these questions sufficient attention is rarely given to the moral influence produced by what are usually termed restrictive measures. At certain times it may be necessary to curb speculation as much as possible, and to adopt every available means for that purpose. But the remedy is not one of unfailing application. The corrective frequently turns out to be as mis chievous as the evil,when a legitimate expansion of trade is confounded with over-speculation. It is not pretended that our existing trade is carried beyond the strictest limits of prudence ; in fact, hardly a day passes that we are not congratulated upon the sound position of commerce. All that is wanted is simply a completer restoration of credit, a cessation of the excessive distrust invariably at tending a pressure in the money market, real or artificial, and a general return to that mutual confidence, which is the life and soul of trade. As long, however, as the rate of dis count is kept up at 10 per cent.—far higher, by the way, than in any of the countries threatened by the war in Central Europe —the public cannot help feeling alarm. It extends to all classes, from the depositor of 1001. in a joint stock bank to a great firm whose transactions are reckoned by millions. If the full truth could be arrived at it would be found that the Bank'notee withdrawn during the crisis by mercantile houses and locked up in their safes for fear of accidents amount to an cnui moua total. As long as distrust continues these sums remain unavailable, and THZ WAR. The Times infers from the telegrams that the Prussians have outstripped in the race their proverbially slow adversaries, and have accomplished the conquest of Saxony without striking a blow. However, we shall see whether General Benedek has harboured some bidden de sign under his apparent tardiness. The city of Dresden is certainly a noble as well as a valuable prize for the Prue. miens ; but they would hardly have reason to rejoice at their easy conquest if the Austrians were with equal facility to overrun the much-coveted province of Silesia, and take up a strong position there. Master of that ancient hereditary pos session of the Hapsburgs, the Emperor Francis Joseph could well afford to pause in the fratricidal strife, and offer to come to terms with Napoleon for the cession of Venice. Still, whatever solution the fortune of war may bring. there is no doubt that Prussia will always find herself at the head of the German people. In the very vote of the 14th the free cities threw down the gauntlet for Prussia, and only kings, electors, and grand dukes were in favour of Austria. The Daily News remarks that the policy of Prussia seems to be to employ the interval before her army meets that of Austria to strike terror into the smaller German States, in order to decide es many of them as passible to take her side. From Austria we get no information, the only lines by which it could arrive being in the bands of the government, which will allow no facts to transpire that may be useful to the enemy ; but it is impossible to doubt that the imperial troops are pressing forward to sup port their retiring allies, and that the Prussians will imme diately have to make good their pretensions against Mar_ shal Benedek. The Daily News characterises the Emperor of Austria's manifesto as grave and earnest, rising in pas sages almost to eloquence. He is fighting in Germany for the most just of causes, and it is certainly to be regretted that before he was called to that conflict he was not ad vised to avail himself of the opportunities he enjoyed of rectifying his position in Italy. The Post draws a gloomy picture of the conflict which has now began. Italy has already been drawn within the vortex ; who knows whether France. Russia, and even Great Britain, may not ere long be compelled to take part in a contest in which the interests of every European power will be more or less directly involved ? The Herald summarises the late diplomatic and military movements in Germany in a sense very unfavourable to Prussia, whose attitudes described as insolent, provoca• tive, and revolutionary. Enumerating the forces which have joined the Austrian cause, the Herald finds it diffi. cult to believe that Prussia has entered upon the war without relying on other assistance than is promised by the unaided strength of Italy. The Telegraph recognises the historical correctness of the statements in the Emperor of Austria's manifesto, and says it is impossible to read that document without a strong sense of sympathy for the unfortunate monarch whom the persistent antagonism of one ambitious states man has brought to this hour of peril. Francis Joseph now draws the sword with the avowed object of de fending the authority and rights of the Confederation, which are menaced by a rebellious member; of supporting his allies in that confederation who are threatened with political extinction for their fidelity to the Federal pact; of checking the spirit of lawless and insolent aggression ; and of imposing terms by force on a reckless disturber of European peace. The Star recognises in the movements of Prussia the same promptitude, daring, and singleness of purpose which she showed in the seven years war. Hanover is not likely again to escape from her determined grasp. Prussia's chief strength, more than her needle guns and her exchequer, or even the co-operating movements of Italy, lies in the heterogeneousness of the Austrian empire. Austria's fragments, more or less loosely banded together, scarcely cohere through the wear and tear of time even in peace. At the first shock of war they may possibly fall to pieces. 1 ll' THE REFORM RILL AND THE GO' The Tina continues to dismiss from the range of pos sible things the passage of a reform bill this session, and represents the committee as simply choosing the mate rials for a reform act in a future year. In such a case the failure of amendments are of little importance ; for it must happen that improvements in the government scheme rejected this session by narrow majorities will be quietly introduced in the amended measure when again brought forward, because the government will have arrived at the sound conclusion that they are approved in fact, though not in form, by a majority of the House of Commons. Sympathising with Lord Dunkellin's motion to-night, the Timea protests against treating the debate upon the matter as one upon which the existence of the ministry depends. The probability is that the point was scarcely considered in the cabinet, and there can be no humiliation in acknowledging the force of the argu• meats against their first proposaL The Daily News assumes that the tones are not strong enough to carry Mr. Bovill's amendment for an 81. qualifi cation, and looks upon Lord Dunkellin's proposal for a rating qualification as the one which will unite most corn. pletely the opponents of reform. It is obvious, however, that the government must treat any attempt to raise the proposed borough qualification as an attack upon a vital portion of their bill. The franchise qualification is plainly a matter on which no concession is possible, and those who may vote with Lord Dunkellin will do so as intending to destroy at once the Reform Bill and the government. The Telegraph says those who wish that, in the present state of affairs abroad and at home a thoroughly efficient and trusted ministry should remain at the helm of affairs, must vote against the Dunkellin amendment and all other hostile amendments ; for Lord Russell's cabinet will not condescend to survive its word of honour that justice should be dispensed to the working classes. The Star also remarks that those who press such amendments as Mr. Deirdre and Lord Dunkellin's will do so in the full knowledge that the fate of the government is in the balance. WISCILLANIVICB TOPICS. Deecribiug the late experiment upon the Royel Sc aid assuming it as decisively proved that a turret built on Captain Coles's principle will sustain u many shot. as it would be likely to receive in a smut action without suf fering any derangement of it. working machinery, the riflit4 trusts that the turret system may now be developed to good purpose and without further delay. The Telegrsph thinks that in regard to the vital problem which lies at the root of the system, we are as far from it. solution as ever. That problem is embodied in the ques tion, how we are to guard against the passing of a shot through the ship's aide, so that no injury shall be sus tained by the wheel part of the machinery, which lips underneath the turret, and which is so large as to admit of being 'Meek without difficulty. The Americans be lieve that they render the machinery invulnerable by exposing not more than from 18 to 20 inches of the ship's side above water, and by plating the narrow strip of surface with 10 inches of iron. In Eng land we have always ridiculed the idea of calling one of these submerged trays a seaworthy vessel. The cruise of ' the Mona Inc ok from New York to San Francisco, and the mileage of the Miantonomoh across the Atlantic, if mc oesdully accomplished, will open our eyes. Assenting to the remarks of one or two opeakers in the House of Commons that it would be inconvenient' to the house to accept, as a general rule, from private admira tion, monument tributes to its departed members, the Daily New adds if ever there was a " parliament man" whom it concerned the House of Commons to remember with honour, it was Joseph Hume.

SUPPOSED SUICIDE OF A DANCING MASTER IN FETTER-LANE. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This afternoon Mr. W. J. Payne, the deputy coroner, held an inquiry at the White Horse Tavern, Fetter-lane, touching th e death of Thomas Burris, aged 32 years, who was supposed to have committed suicide. Mr. S. l'yne, White Horse Tavern, said that the de ceased lived at his house for, the last six weeks. He was " hard up," and he was a supernumerary at theatres. On last Saturday morning he was found in bed ill. A doctor was sent for, but he did nothing for him, but said that the parish doctor ought to be sent for. When a second doctor came the man was dead. Witness did not believe that the deceased bad enough of food to keep him properly. The deceased was ill in bed all Friday. Samuel Cleveland said that the deceased told him that he was a native of Manchester. He said that he was by profession • dancing master. He used to be em ployed at the Italian Opera. He was very badly off, and on Thursday last witness gave him his tea and two tickets for the theatre. Witness told him he could sell the tickets and get a little money. On last Saturday witness saw him lying insensible on the bed, and Mr. Stone, a doctor, was sent for. He said that the deceased bad taken lauda num, but he did no thing for him. He said, " Send for the parish doctor," and he then left. Witness tried to rouse the deceased by holding him up in the bed and shaking him. While doing so, three bottles, which bad contained laudanum, were discovered under the deceased's pillow. They were la belled " Harwood, chemist, Manchester." Coroner—Do you mean to say that the doctor did nothing for the man who was lying in an unconscious state after he had taken laudanum ! Witness—Yea, sir. Coroner—Then I suppose common humanity made you send to a second doctor ? The witness said that the deceased expired before the second doctor had time to come. Arthur Pope said that he heard Mr. Stone say to Mr. Pyne, when he was looking at the insensible man, " Are you going to pay me for this"" When he received an answer in the negative he left, although he believed the deceased was suffering from the effects of poison. It was I then half-past 9 o'clock in the morning. The deceased died at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. A parish order had to be got for the parish doctor. Dr. Reed, parish doctor, said that be received the order for attendance on the deceased in usual oourse. At first he did not know it was a poison ease and he was going to take the ease on his rounds, and he did not go to see the deceased at once. A second message came, and wit- ness went and found the man dead. The post mortem examination proved that the calm of death was the effect of laudanum poisoning. The deceased's lungs were dis eased, and he might have taken the laudanum to alleviate pain. Coroner—When Mr. Stone came and allowed his pocket to interfere with his humanity would remedial measures for laudanum poisoning have been beneficial? Witness—Yes, but I cannot say that his life would have been saved. for the laudanum was acting upon a con. sumptive man. Prompt measurer ought to have been used when the man was found suffering from po ison. The Coroner said that the parish reliev -ofacer's order was very imperfect. There was nothing about it to indi cate that the case was an urgent one. An unfortunate man had been left for several hours in a dyin g state in a large hotel, surrounded by people, and centre of London. He felt certain that Dr. Stone would yet regret his conduct upon the occasion. The jury returned the following special verdict, "That the deceased expired from the mortal erects of laudanum poisoning, but whether the deceased's death was canoed by design or accident there is no evidence to show, and the jury say that parish orders granted by relieving offloars ought to be more explicit, and that in all such cases the word 'urgent' ought to be written on the order, and the jurors further say that they regret that Dr. Stone did not give more attention to the deceased when be was called in to attend him."
