IMPERIAL PARI3 AM RN T. HOUSE OF LORDS.—FraI.A), Auut•Yr 16. In the Hooey of la.RIN yester..ay. the Earl of Die.BY stated that the house would meet this day at 2 o'clock, in order that the prorogation might take place on Wtidneolay next. On the motion of the Duke of Rh.IIICIND, the standing order with respect to railway deposits, iu immolate* with the recommendations of the joint committee of both houses, was agreed to. The Expiring Laws Continuance Bill and the Investment of Trust Funds Bill passed through committee. The Appropriation Bill was read a second time, and passed through committee, and ordered to be read a third time this day. The Earl of DEVON moved the second reading of the Hours of Labour Regulation Bill. The Earl of Sitarrr.ssusy, while giving credit to the employers of labour for their ready went to the bill, complained that the hours of labour had been fixed with different limits to those of the Factory Extension Act, and announced his in tention to bring in a bill next session to remedy that defect. The motion was agreed to. The Master and Workmen Bill was read a third time and passed. The Earl of LICHFIELD called attention to recent returns relative to the friendly societies in England and Wales, and said that a perusal of them could not fail to convince their lordships of the misery and distress produced among the working classes in almost every district of the country by the un sound condition and the failure of a number of those societies. Out of 38,823 societies established since 1793 no less than 13,935 had failed. He bore testimony to the great amount of good effected by some of these societies, especially the affiliated societies ; but a class of societies had grown up of late years which granted insurances on lives, and he pointed out the risk attending them, the coat of management in one large society amounting to nearly one-third of the income. Some societies had become joint-stock companies, and carried on industrial business. He expressed a strong opinion that societies employing collectors and agents, ought not to have the benefit of the Friendly Societies Act. The Earl of Divoic said it was impossible to overrate the importance of the subject, and he was sure their lordships would desire to co-operate with the noble lord in his endeavour to remove the evils ho complained of. Several bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at twenty minutes past seven o'clock. HOUSE OF 00MMONS.—FRIDAY, Aucrsr 16. IN the Horse of COMMONS Mr. WATKIN gave notice of his intention next session to move that it is expedient that there should be annually drawn up a national stock and balance sheet. Also for the appointment of a select committee to con sider a memorial from the inhabitants of Ceylon complaining of the present government of that dependency. Lord R. Moirraor stated, in reply to Mr. Read, that the permission to land foreign cattle at Thames Haven for the metropolitan market will not be continued. He also stated that on the 9th instant the government received information that the cattle plague had broken out on a farm at Barking, and that in consequence orders had been given to slaughter a number of cattle on the farm. Sir S. NORTHOOTS stated in reply to Mr. Craw ford that the amount required to be raised by loan for the government of India had been raised, and that no more money will have to be raised this year on loan for the government of that country. The Traffic Regulation (Metropolis) Bill and the Royal Military Canal Biil were read a third time and passed ; and the Lords' amendments to the Local Government Supplemental (No. 6) Bill and to the Merchant Shipping Bill were agreed to. Sir R. PALMSR moved that the order on the Increase of the Episcopate Bill be discharged. He gave up the bill, he said, with regret, but after the amendments which the Lords had made in the bill he could not ask this house to proceed further with the bill. The responsibility of the loss of the bill did not rest with this house, but with the House of Lords. Tbemotion was agreed to. On the motion for the adjournment until Monday, Mr. PI ZWDEaATS called attention to certain cir cumstances connected with the proceedings before the Ecclesiastical Titles Committee. He said all the evidence that was taken was on one side, and from persons who were concerned in obtaining the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. A petition was presented from persons who wished to give evidence on the other side, which was referred by that house to the committee, but by the neglect of an officer of the house it never came to the knowledge of the committee, a circumstance which ought to be known if an attempt were made to found any legislation on the report of the com mittee. Mr. WHALLEY followed, complaining that the government took no steps to resist Popish agges elan. Mr. \VALI-OLE said the committee was appointed to consider whether there was anything in the ope ration of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act which prac tically weighed upon Roman catholic, ' and in his opinion, and that of the Attorney-General for Ire land, no case was made out, but he regretted that the petition referred to was not brought to the knowledge of the committee. The subject then dropped. The house, at ten minutes past six o'clock, ad journed until Monday at half-past three o'clock. THE BISHOP OP LONDON AND THZ EUCHARIST. —The Rev. W. G. Cookesley, incumbent of St. Peter's, Hammersmith, recently addreesed the Bishop of London with reference to the address on the subject of the Eucha rist presented by Arehdeaeon Denison to the Archbishop of Canterbury. In his letter Mr. Cookesley said :—" The sulrocribers to this address declare that the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is • neritlee, and that the body and Mood of Christ are really and truly, though in an ineffable in, env% present in the elements, which ought, therefore, to be adored." He maintained that this doctrine was con tredictory to the teaching of the church, and wished his diocesan to state which of the two parties—those who maintain, or those who utterly repudiate these doctrines —should leave the church. The bishop has just replied as under:—" My dear Mr. Cookesley, I desired Mr. Fisher (the bishop's chaplain) to tell you that the incessant pres sure of business at the close of the session made it im possible for me to answer fully your letter respecting the declaration on the subject of the Lord's Supper, made public by Archdeacou Denison and various other clergymen, some of whom are in my diocese. I have had • somewhat sharp attack of Mime, from which, thank God I am recovering, but which has brought some enforced leisure, and I have taken the opportunity of reviewing the whole matter. The only answer I can send to you is this: I. That I have had no opportunity, that I am aware of, for perusing the document in question, except from reading it in the newspapers. It has never been formally or officially laid before me. 2. That from what I have seen in the newspapers, I gather that the clergymen in question hold that view of the Lord's Supper, or something very like it, which was brought before the courts, but never decided, in the case of Ditcher v. Denison.' You are aware that cam broke down in the Privy Council, from the legal objection that the proceeding* had not been commenced within the time Axed iy the statute. However erroneous, therefore, the opinions in question rosy be, and (so far as I can compre. Rend them) are, in my judgment, it has never been de cided that it is penal is • clergyman of the church of England to hold and announce them. Any one who leases, and can show that he has a sufficient legal interest in the matter, would be at liberty to apply to me, or any other bishop concerned, for letters of request to have the ease tried in the Court of Arches. But I have, at some length, explained my views as to the undessimbleness of such prosecutions, in my two charges of 1862 and 1866. .A. C. LoNnum." A magnificent meteor was visible at Brixton on Tuesday evening, at 9.12. It slowly flowed through the Leavens in • couch-earerly direction, and had it not been toe the bright moonlight would have cast • definite Window.

There was a material improvement in the weather on the ssoond day, as the sun shone brilliantly throughout the froceedings: but the ground must have been very ma tron' ortsile for the holiday people, as it was muddy and sloppy; and many of the jockeys that rode in the various noes were almost unrecognisable as they passed the stand, so bespattered were they with mire. The sport was fair, as will be gathered from the appended returns. TM. STAND PLATE HANDICAP of 50 sons. for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra. Thrzeparters of a mile.

The business of the day was a race for the Com modore's Cup. The hour named for the rendezvous was 8 o'clock, an hour later than that being appointed for start ing, and as the course was round the Isle of Wight, the early commencement was deemed of importance, and to avoid all unnecessary delay it was arranged that all the vessels should start underweigh. The entries for this race were as follow, : Yachts. Tons. Owners. Volante 31asina O6 Mr. J. C. Merle.. Witchcraft Condor 133 Mr. W. Ewing. Prima Donna 36 Captain anderion. None 7B Mr. L Boulcher. Diadem l2O Mr. Y. & Stanley. Pantomime 132 Colonel Markham. Cumbria Egeria Selene Menai Hirondelle Zonal , . lO6 Mr. T. R. Hoare. At nine o'clock precisely the starting gun was fired, the wind being westerly, with a flood tide. The Egeria was the first to stand away, well to the westward, and took the lead. The Witchcraft was well up, but could hardly be said to take the second place. The Pantomime was close astern. The rest were in a cluster, and no time could be taken of any material account between them. When off Yarmouth the Egeria was still the leading vessel. This position she appears to have maintained, for when off Ventuor, at a quarter-past two, she was still the leading vessel, the Condor being second, the Selene third, the fourth could not be made out, and the fifth the Panto mime. _ _ The position of the leading vessels was not altered in the subsequent part of the course, the Egeria still kini the lead, and after a number d mishaps on the of the contending vessels she anoesetled in gallantly leading all the rest. The time of arrival at the conclusion of the race was as follows : w. s. Farris 4 19 0 &line Pounotobas dleaal marina Thus Mr. /dalholland became entitled to the Commo dore's Prise. With regard to Mr. Broedwood'e Prise to the Volento yesterday, by the order of arrival, Mr. H. Mandalay, as the owner of the Vohate, wth certainly entitled to it, but a protest was put in against it by Mr. Boulcher, the owner of the Moue, on the ground that the Volmam did not go round the proper mark boat, or went round on a different tack than prescribed by the regulations. The prise was therefore awarded to Mr. Boulther, but it is said that he will not ►crept it. To-morrow there will be a number of boat races, pole dances, and other amusements. THE SHIPWRECK OP THE ARKANSAS. The owner of the barque Arkansas, which was wrecked in the Mediterranean, with the loss of four lives, has received a letter from the captain, Wiz. C. H. Hoff man, giving full particulars of the disaster. From this it appears that the mate, carpenter, and one A. 8., together with the captain's wife, are the four whose lives have been sacrifioed in this disaster. The fate of Mrs. Hoffman is a most melancholy one. She was married only last April at Cardiff, and her husband requested permission of the owner to take her with him for the voyage to Alexandria, after which they would set up house in Sunderland. Like himself, she was • native of Prussia, which she had only left a few dap before in company with her brother, who came over to be present at the wedding, and her husband pointed out to Mr. Watson how lonely she would be in Sunderland amongst strangers, if he left her behind him just at that time. Although opposed to his captains taking their wives to sea with them, Mr. Watson, to favour • valued servant, consented that she should AO the voyage, which was commenced on the 19th of April, about • week after their wedding. The captain, in his letter, describes the foundering of the vessel, after the ship had filled with water, and was level with the sea. He says:—" Seeing our only chance was the gig, I scrambled aft and saw all hands collected around the gig. Telling them to be cool and collected, I ordered the gig to be lapelled over the counter, which was just slowly lifting out of the water, as the foreships went down. The boat was launched in God's name, and floating when I threw myself off the counter of the sinking ship in the water, I just catching the boat. When I was just inside the hnt, I heard some body crying out, 'The painter, the painter; out the painter ; it's drang the boat down " Throwing myself forward over everybo I got my penknife and just out the painter through whi dy, le it was getting tightened by the sinking ship. The sea hove the boat astern a little, and the ship sunk slowly under, with all my happiness in her. We then picked up an oar of the long-boat, and laid the boat quickly to the sea, as she was then half fall of water, through the plug-hole, which had been forgotten in the hurry, and • crack in a bottom plank, split by launching her over • holt. One of the men and I were holding the boat's head to the sea, while all the rest were balling the water out, laying Rat in the boat. We then heard several persons crying out for help, but with only a single car the boat hardly swimming, we drifted astern, and found it impossible to help them. One poor man—l think it was the carpenter's voice—was shouting for help continually, until I said to him, God save you, my poor fellow, say your prayers ; it's impossible I can help you. ' Then he was quiet, and only once or twice after that I heard somebody shouting after us. We were nine in the boat, and had lost three men and my wife. After this the plug-hole was stopped, and four men were able to keep the water from pining on us, and relieved each other all the night. Our balers werethe cut-off sea boots of two men. The ship sunk about 8.35, and until about 11 p.m. we drifted to the west a little southerly, when the wind came strongly from the northward, which made us keep to the southward, with a heavy cross-sea that threatened to swamp. us every moment. Only the skilful manner in which August Wilson, of Sweden, LB., handled the boat saved our lives. In this manner the night passed." ADMIRALTY, AUGUST 16. —APPOINTMENTS. Commander C. F.

For some time past serious complaints have been made of the state of this important fishery, and much dissatisfac tion has been felt that while the size and quality of the oysters brought to the Edinburgh market have diminished, the price has increased. It is pretty well known that this is attributable not to any falling off in the productiveness of the scalps, but to the reckless and improvident manner in which the fishery has been carried on. The Duke of Buocleuch's oyster fishery extends in length from Cramond Island on the west to the east end of the old village of Newhaven on the east, and to the middle of the Firth in breadth ; and this extensive track has for many years been let to the Newhaven fishermen, as tenants at will, for little more than a nominal rent. Instead, however, of cultivating the ground for the benefit of Edinburgh and the neighbourhood, and taking only full-sized ash, • practice has prevailed for a good many years past of dredging the small oysters, or brood, an d selling them in immense quantities to strangers, who carry them off to England or elacwbere, and lay them down to improve the wane of their own ground. This the Duke of Bucoleuch has always objected to, and bad the system been allowed to continue, the scalps referred to would soon have become altogether unproductive. With a view to remedy the evil, we understand his grace has now let his oyster fishery to Mr. John Anderson, of the Royal Emporium, George-street, it being provided in the lease that no brood shall be removed except for the purpose of being laid down immediately in other parts of the fishing ground ; that no oysters shall be brought to market which, with the shell, are capable of being parsed through • ring of 2i inches in diameter ; and that the fishery shall in all re specie be carried on in such a way as to cultivate and improve it to the utmost. Can has also been taken in the lease to protect se much as possible the interests of the Newhaven fishermen, and secure employment for them in • legitimate way, provided they agree to reason able terms, and submit to the necessary reguLtions and restrictions. It is hoped that by these arrangements the fishery will, in the course of a very few years, be much improved, and the Edinburgh market far better supplied than it has been. FATAL RZMULT OF HORSE FLOGO INO. —The other day James Booth, an unmarried man of 27 years, coachman at Pittodrie, in the Gerlach, was killed by one of his horses. He had just returned from being out with the carriage, had unyoked the horses, and drown one of them into the stable, where he left him untied and har nessed. He unharnessed the other, which he began to flog for some fault ; while doing so the other horse came out. He went and put him in again. When about to resume flogging the faulty horse, a nun who was cutting thiatles, &c., on the grass, advised him to desist. He, in effect, said he was not yet done with him, and led the horse round a corner of the stable. All soon was still, and the man thought he had led him away for a little distance. In not more than five minutes from turning the corner the farm-overseer hap pened to pass, and found the lifeless body of Booth half reclining against the wall at the door. Dr. Davidson and Dr. Mitchell were soon present, and on examination it was found that the horse bad "shouldered" (as horsemen term it) the coachman—that is, be had gone in upon him, run him up against the edge of the door, and pressed him to death. His neck being pressed obliquely in at the door was dislocated. Besides , his body soon became blue, proving too well the part; squeezed. The ground showed the marks of the brief struggle. The borse'a Votprints were distinct, showing how he had fenced himself in press. ing the unfortunate man. The horse then stood about two or three yards off, finite quiet, but got excited when about to be caught. A little kindness soon made him calm.— Banffshire Journal.

These were actions to recover calls for the purpose of carrying on the works of the above railway, and in one or two of the came the defendants sought to be relieved from their liability upon the plea that they had been induced to become shareholders by fraudulent and false represents.- talons. There was, however, not a tittle of evidence to support such a plea t and in the result verdicts were taken for the plaintiffs in all the cases, subject, however, to certain technical points tlias were reserved for future con eideration. OXFORD CIRCIJIT.--GLorcarns, Atro. 16. CROWN Couim,—(Before Mr. Justice Shee.) THE DIIRSLIT ELECTION RIOTS. At two o'clock the trial of the four parties charged with a riot at the declaration of the poll on the late election for West Gloucestershire took place. The cam appeared to excite a good deal of interest, and the court was crowded. Mr. Motteram conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. H. James and Mr. J. H. Gough defended. Several jurors were challenged on behalf of the defence . _ . _ _ . Henry Wo;ciward, Alfred Bdmister , Rowland Hill the younger, snd Richard Lacey were charged with riotously assembling, with others, to the number of ten or more, on the 31st July last, at Dursley, and &manning Sir G. Jenkinson sod Captain Arthur Kennedy. Other counts varied the charge, the fifth and 6th counta charging a com mon assault. All the prisoners . pleaded not guilty except Hill, who pleaded guilty, but withdrew his plea, his coun sel, Mr. James, observing that be did not know the dif ference. He had not yet arrived at years of discretion. (He was about fourteen years of age). All the witnesses were ordered out of court on both aides. Mr. Motteram laid before the jury a statement of the facts, and the same witnesses were called as before the magistrates at the recent preliminary investigation. The examination of Sir G. Jenkioson produced a scene. Being asked by Mr. James whether Mr. Grantley Berkeley was in his company on the day of the election, he replied that he (Sir George) was in Mr. Berkeley's company. Mr. James — Was not Mr. Grantley Berkeley in your company Sir G. Jenkinson—l was in Mr. Berkeley's company. Mr. James—Was Mr. Grantley Berkeley in your com pany Sir George—He was. Mr. James—lf you had said so, Sir George, at once, you would have saved us some time. Sir G. Jenkinson—Well, you are paid for your time, I suppose. Mr. James appealed to his lordship whether Sir George could be allowed to answer in this way, adding, " Thank you for that observation, Sir George." Sir G. Jenkinson—Well, it is so, is it not' You are paid for it, I suppose. The judge interposed, and there were some symptoms of applause on the part of the audience. His lordship hoped there would be no noise. He did not want to be cheered. In the further cross-examination Sir George said that on the morning when he came to Donley some one had tried to frighten his horses with • basket, and he had struck at him with his whip, but missed him. He did not believe that be bit any one. He did :not strike softly. He was perhaps as capable of striking hard as Mr. James or any other man. A great many people hooted him as he entered the town in the morning. Lady Jenkinson and her daughter also gave evidence. This closed the case for the prosecution, and Mr. kfot term withdrew the charge as against Hill, he being only • boy. The judge expressed his regret that he had been kept in custody from the Monday to the Saturday of his commit tal, and added further that he really had no right to have been put in the dock at all. Mr. James then addressed the jury for the amused, ridi culing the idea of a riot, expressing his regret that the ladies should have been annoyed, and commenting strongly upon the change in the tactics of the prosecution in strik ing out the name of Mr. Grantley Berkeley, and so on. He also ridiculed • passage in the indictment which alleged that Sir G. Jenkinson had been assaulted and beaten, " and his life greatly despaired of." We learn by telegraph that the jury Acquitted all the prisoners. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —Lirvrapoor., Aro. 16. During the present assizes the judges have occupied for the first time the handsome new residence provided for them by the corporation. Their lordships now occupy a fine commodious building formerly known as Newsham House, which is situated on the West Derby road, and in one corner of a new park now in promos of laying out. The " lodgings" are surrounded by ornamental grounds, and command an extensive prospect of the surrounding country, including the Lancashire and Westmoreland hills. The interior of the house is most handsomely fur nished, with ample accommodation for both business duties and social pleasures. A greater contrast could scarcely be imagined than is exhibited by tbe cheerful, comfortable residence now allotted to her Majeaty's judges as compared with the dismal, dark, and dreary " lodgings" in St. Anne-street they were for so many years doomed to occupy in assize times. There are 118 causes entered for hearing at these anima, 40 of which are marked for special juries. Eighteen causes were disposed of on Wednesday (most of which were undefended), including five that were withdrawn, so that at the opening of the court on Thursday exactly 100 remained to be tried. These included nine actions against railway and five against other public companies. One case, the West India Pacific Steamship Company v. Guion and another, will, if tried, occupy the court at least a week there being about 100 witnesses for examination. The dispute, we understand, arises out of the explosion of the steamer European, at Colas). In all probability the matter will be partly heard, and then referred. The special jury causes will not be taken before Monday. (Before Mr. Jtirtice Smith.) ACTIOX AGAINST A STIANSHIP OMNI& In the case of Fletcher a. Powell, a wholesale provision dealer of Liverpool sought compensation from the owner of a Bristd and Liverpool steamer for damage done to • number of cheeses, which it was alleged had been improperly stowed on board defen dant's steamer. It was alleged that the cheeses, which were from Bomersetabire, were damaged to the extent of 3d. perlb. all round. For the defence, it was urged that some of the damage bad been occasioned while the cheeses were under the care of the railway company from High. bridge station to Bristol, and that he was not liable for this ; that the cheeses were properly stowed on board the steamer ' • that their condition on arrival at Liverpo o l was owing to their newness, and that the plainti ff should have had them packed in boxes or hampers, instead of sending them loose. A verdict was recorded for the plaintiff, damages 30/., with leave for the defendant to move. The damages were laid at 501. odd. (Before Chief Justice Born) MANIILACOHTIB. .john Henry Parsons, 33, sailor, was indicted for the manslaughter of Bridget Cannon, nshwoman. The case for the prosecution was, that on the 12th April the parties met m a public-house. Northumberland. terrace, Everton. Cannon and two other women, named Cunningham and Cotter, appeared to have partaken freely of beer and created • • disturbance. Cunningham wished to smoke • pipe, and deceased objected, and the three commenced to wrangle so furiously that the publican threatened to turn them out. The prisoner and another man were drinking in an adjoining par tition of the bar, and wished to interfere with the women, and foul langunge was used on both sides. Shortly after this deceased left the public-house with • fish-knife in her hand, and the prisoner left by another door. The other women then came out, and the prisoner knocked them down. He nest kicked the deceased and stabbed her with • pocket knife just above the collar bone. One of the important arteries was punctured, and the blood having collected and clogged on the deceased's lungs, caused her death. _ _ The evidence being conflicting upon the crou•exami nation, the jury gave the prisoner the benefit of the doubt, and Acquitted him. FATAL EXPLOSION AT THE FAVERSHAM Gus- POWIMR WORML —OM Thursday morning an explosion of what is called • green charge" took place at the works of Messrs. Hall and Son, gunpowder manufac turers, Faversham, involving the merinos of two lives, besides fearful injury to two other me n . A s the mill had been stopped for some hours, the canes of the explosion is at present a mystery. At the time the mill blew up the two ordinary attendants (John Lyon and Oeo. Bramble) were close to it ; also Benjamin Barber, a millwright, and Thos. Pepper, a labourer. Lyon and Bramble were fright fully burnt. From the Bret no hope was entertained of their recovery, and during the night both died. Barber is badly burnt about the face , neck, ar ms , an d b an d s, an d be is blind, but hopes are given of recovery. Pepper is also blind, and be is injured about the face, hands and arms, but his burns are not so bad me the others, sad it is expected his sight will return. 1867.

A MONSTER SHARK IN SOUTHAMPTON-WATER. —A party of ladies and gentlemen on Wednesday hired a pleasure yacht of a Southampton waterman, who took them for a few hours' cruise on Southampton-water. The ladies were landed at Calshot Castle, at the entrance of the Water, while the gentlemen, four in number, went hack in the yacht a mile or so, awl bathed off Fawley. After bathing, they returned to Calshot, took the ladies on board, and proceeded to Southampton. The weather was very hot, and the yacht was almost becalmed. As they were approaching where the gentlemen bad bathed, they saw something just out of the water darting to and fro. This the owner of the yacht, au old fisherman, knew to be the fin of a shark, and sa they came nearer, sure enough there was a huge shark, at least sixteen feet long, swim ming lazily about. There was a revolver in the yacht, and the monster was fired at, but he took very little notice of the attack. The party met • gentleman's yacht just after wards, when they reported what they had seen. A boat's crew from the latter yacht was sent with a boathook after the shark. They met with it, and struck at its gills with the boathook, but the latter being blunt did not make much impression, and the shark made off. A solitary shark is occasionally met with at the entrance of South ampton-water in the summer season, but no one remembers such a large onu having been seen.

The telegram also speaks of • depressed !mitt and lower prices at Calcutta. The business here in cloth, to-day, under these circumstances, has become very nuet tiled, and for such sales as they have made millers hats had to accept lower quotations. There is no briskness is business for any quarter, and prices are drooping.

A gentleman, well known to us, called oo the great ironmaster one day, who showed him the scrip of these speculations, observing, "There, I could get 40,0004 in the market for these to-morrow." " Then, why doe% Cyou sell them, sir?" was the inquiry. " No, no," said Mr. rawshay, "you don't know what • man that Hudson is." The 40,000 i. was never realised, for the crash won came. and amongst the sufferers was an old domestic .errant of Mr. Crawshay's,who, tempted by the sworn of others. bad invested his entire savings, amounting to between 4dri. and 5001. " Well," said his master, on heariag of his servenVedisaater, " a pretty fool you have made of yourself —lost all your money, I bear, in these railways.' "Yes, sir, " was the sad response; "too true, air, as true." " Why, how could you have been such a foil, man?" asked Kr. Crawshay. The servant could only co- ply that he had heard his muter had • large stun le Mr. Hudson's railways, and he thought he could not go fu wrong if he followed in his master's steps. " Humph,' said Mr. Crawshay, " I thought as much—there's woe thing in that—you shan't lose, I'll pay the money;' serf he gave a cheque for the entire sum. Another awakes may be told am illustrative of his eccentricity and main humour. He was exceedingly fond of prdeniar. sad most of the operations carried on in his gardens and hot houses were under his own superintendence. It was a subject of much annoyance to him when his plisses would not implicitly follow his directions, but prefeend putting in practice some theory of their own. "They we eo confoundedly conceited, " he would say, " one csn'tget them to do as they are told." Upon one occasion, when engaging • gardener to fill the place of ms who had been dismissed for not acting in newel anoe with his master's commands, Mr. Crawshay too: the opportunity to give the new comer a abort lecture, which he concluded by observing :—" There, I bare told you what to do ; but I don't suppose you'll stay bore longbe lke all the rest, so coufaundolly 1 4 4 . headed and conceited." The man expressed his walk:. nets to follow his master's instructions, and after he lid been employed about a fortnight his professions of obese ence were put to the task Mr. Crawshey Calle win t 4 garden one day iu early spring, and, pointing to a roe of gooseberry trees, abruptly told the gardener to take thin all up and stick the branches into the earth, leaving !le roots turned upwards. "They don't seem to grow utst? are," be remarked, "so nu try my plan." Mr. Clarksl then turned away abruptly, whilst the gardener widget making any reply, immediately sot to work. In a fee hours the job was completed, and upon Mr. Crawsluy turning and finding that his coo:monis bad been oillsd• lie observed :—" That's all right ; put 'ern hack ,PM• only did it to try ye ; you'll do ; I believe I've ;it aWe sible fellow at last." _ •---- CtiasTAL .-- PA.r.s.cs.—ONz SIIILLING DAT.'"
