LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 9. CHIEF JUSTIcE CHASE AND THE DEMOCRATIC CONITNTION. THE rumour that the Democratic Convention of New York, which has chosen partial repudia tion for the principal " plank " of its " platform," to use the dialect of American politics, will nominate Chief Justice CHASE for the Presidency, and Mr. C. F. Arotills, lately Minister in England, for the Vice-Presidency of the United States, may have some foundation. But it is one thing to be nominated, and another thing to accept a nomination. The upright and accom plished statesmen, whose names local caucuses and dexterous wire-pullers take in vain, are the very last men in the Union, we should presume, to lend themselves to the policy and tactics of the party which is seeking to profit by their high character and 1w public confidence that character inspires. They cannot, unless they desire a heavy fall and grievous discomfiture, take their stand upon the very rotten plank on which it is said they are to be invited to place themselves. Their very weight would bring it down and themselves with it. The Democratic Convention, hopeless that otherwise the people of the United States will accept the bill which they Lave drawn, think of endorsing it with two good names. But Mr. CHASE and Mr. ADAMS are little likely to lend themselves to this political kite flying ; and the use of their names, if they should be so employed, may be safely denounced beforehand as unauthorised, and the signatures declared to be forgeries. Mr. CHASE, more, perhaps, than any other man in the Union, is disabled from the accept ance of the Democratic programme, not only by his principles and character, but by his political career. Under the Presidency of Mr. Lizecour, he was Secretary of the Treasury from 1861 to 1864. It is, there fore, in an especial and personal degree his policy which the Democratic Convention proposes to reverse, at the same time that it sets aside the obligations of good faith and common honesty. Previous to the outbreak of the civil war, the United States occupied an exceptional position. They were a great nation without a great debt, since they never had waged a great war, and, be it cause or effect, did not possess a great army. Until the year 1862, there fore, they possessed no irredeemable paper cur rency. Money, except so far as private issues and trading bills were concerned, was gold and silver. The Act of 1862 provided that the interest on the loans should be payable in coin ; and though nothing was said about the payment of principal, yet, as the Times remarks, " the orris " aion was due to the fact that the issue TIIE EXPRES ', "of inconvertible paper was then re .roped " as a te•ugarary expedient, to be adopted to a ‘• very limited extent, and to cease long before the •• debts would come to maturity." Mr. CHASE, during his term of office ae Finanoe Minister, Mal especially forward in declaring the obligation of the lTnited States to repay not only the interest of its debts, but the debts themselves in coin. It is impossible that he can become a party to a policy the execution of which would involve a breach of national good faith, and so far as ho acquiesced in it, personal dishonour. What has been said of tho proposed payment in a educed currency of bonds which represent a debt due in gold, Nay be re peated of the scheme for taxing United States bonds, which are, by positive law, exempt from n 1111 l ieipal or state taxation, and by clear under standing from Federal obligation. Unless we very much mistake the man, the Di moerat ic manifesto makes Mr. CHASE'S candi dature us impossible as it would be for him to 'Tun a gambling table or a house for the reception of attain goods in Washington. The declaration, or the telegraphic summary of its contents, is silent upon some other points on which the Democratic party must declare itself lalore it proceeds to the Presidential election. What is its Southern policy? Dow dots it pro pose to solve the problem of reconstruction? Will it commit itself to the principle of impartial sufl'inge ? It is hard to see how Mr. Cliasg and it can come together, without signal apostacy on the one side or the other. During the thirty years in which he has been prominently before the public he has been identified with the movement against slavery, in the several forms which the agitation has assumed—first for the limitation and gradual extinction of the evil, and, when the final struggle came, for its complete abolition. As an advocate, he distinguished himself most by his pleadings in fugitive slave cases, asserting the unconstitutional character of the fugitive slave law of 1797, and the purely local application of the ordinance of 1787. In 1841, '43, '43, '47, and '4B, Mr. CHASE was the chief instrument in summoning the anti-slavery conventions which met in those years ; and he was the author of some of the ablest addresses in which their principles and policy were set forth. On these principles he entered the Senate of the United States as the representative of the democratic party in Ohio, which had then committed itself to an anti-slavery policy, warning it that if it deserted this position he should sunder his connection with it. When in preparation for the election of Mr. FitemlLDr PIERCE, the democrats of the North became parties to an alliance with the slave-owners of the South, Mr. CHASEpublicly severed himself from them, and was one of the most effective leaders of the opposition to the en croachments of the slaveowners which during the ten years thatpreceded Mr. Lnieour's Presidency at last wore out the long-suffering of the North, and cut off all appeal but the sword. During the whole of his public life, Mr. Cmisz's political connexion has been determined by the attitude of the several American parties on the slavery question. In the language of BuaxE, he has varied his means in order to preserve the unity of his end. Apart from the scheme of partial and covert repu diation to which the Democratic Convention of New York has committed itself, Mr. Cite= could not become its candidate, unless by its abandon ment of the policy of white ascendancy which has of late formed its ground of existence. THE DRAMATIC COLLEGE FETE. TEE pleasant fooling which actors and actresses annually permit themselves in the name of charity, promises to be in full vigour at the Crystal Palace on Saturday. Madlle. SemeEmEa is to preside at the St. James's Theatre stall, and Mrs. HOWARD Psta. will sing a seen from La Grande Ducheeee. Mr. PAUL BEDFORD emerges from his retirement to aid Mr. TOOLE in making nonsense for the million, and a variety of gentlemen whose names are less known to the public are to perform in the burlesque RICILARDSON'fi Show. The Crystal Palace will be, of course, crammed, and the various City and West end contingents that have, or think they have, an interest in the drama, will flock to the various stalls, and will be skilfully coaxed out of their money by young ladies whose zeal for the cause they have in hand is as impul sive and unrestrained as the most ardent supporter of the College could desire. But we confess we should like to have some clearer understanding as to the general opinion of the profession upon the institution on behalf of which so many generous and unconventional efforts are made. Numerous as are the names advertised to take part in the proceedings of Saturday, the popular actors and actresses who are unmentioned are more numerous still. Are there any reasons, real or fancied, for so many of the most distinguished artists in the profession holding aloof ? Is the College managed to the satisfaction of all, are its funds judiciously administered, are the numbers it supports proportionate to the sums subscribed ? A plain statement of accounts, show ing exactly how much has been received from the general public, how much from professional and private benefactions, and how much from festivals, dinners, and balls, together with the number of pensioners relieved and the amount given to each, might be easily furnished, and would be a pleasantly practical supplement to the more playful appeals of Saturday. The Dramatic College has been before the public for several years, and has the sympathy and good wishes of the public. It would be satisfactory, however, if more of the leading members of the profession showed an active interest in its management and welfare, and if we knew the extent to which the " poor player" is benefited by each year's good natured display. BOY CRIMINALS. Tim two wretched lads who tried to murder the poor woman in the City are sentenced to seven years' penal servitude and eighteen months' imprison ment, respectively. The ruthless cruelty and cold-blooded atrocity of their crime were re markable only when the ages of its perpe trators were considered. That one of these would-be murderers is a child of twelve, and the other a few years older, is a fact to set psychologists wondering, and to humiliate the devout. It is well enough to point to criminal lite rature and to cite " The City Detective" and "The " Young Apprentice," as works dilating on the exploits of highwaymen and found in the posses sion of these boys. But these things to bring about such aggravated offences as they com mitted must fall upon ground already ripe for evil. The house was swept and gar nished before the spirits took possession ; and the problem for the moralist is how was their depravity fostered and developed by circum stances. It was actually put forward in extenua tion of the deed of blood for which they were sentenced yesterday, that they had committed burglary and robbery before, and that an 'I IMRSDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1868. innocent man had suffered for their guilt. This, we presume, was to show that they wore ani mated by no personal hostility to Mrs. NuNN, who was regarded simply as an obstacle to successful theft, and treated accordingly. Not the least touching incident of the trial was this poor woman's generous recommendation to matey. " They had broken her hands, and bad deprived " her of her home, and she was not able to gain " a living ;" but " she did not wish to bo hard " upon them ;" and we shall be much surprised if the public is, in its turn, so hard upon Mrs. Ntnot as to allow her to go to the workhouse or starve. A subscription on her behalf should bo sot on foot at once. AIDLLE. SCHNEIDER AT HOME AND ABROAD. THAT " princes, fools, and Englishmen" are the only persons who over travel in first-class railway carriages is is proverb in Germany, and that Jonw BULL is a groat mulch cow, from whom it is fair game for every one to got some thing, is a hat pretty well known and pretty genen►lly accepted throughout the Continent. Foreign interpreters of SHAKESPEARE and the musical glasses, foreign singers and danoers, tumblers and acrobats, riders and aeronauts, we welcome them all, run after them in crowds, and pay them such sums as they have never dreamed of asking from their own countrymen. The French journals just now teem with paragraphs vaunting the success of Mdlle. SCHNEIDER'S performance of the Grand Duchene at the St. James's Theatre, and the journalists cannot refrain from slily chuckling over the fact that the sparkling comedienne reviver nearly seven times as much from "to barbarea" (under which flattering terms they allude to Englishmen) as she does in her own home. If we may believe these amiable fruilletonistes, Mdlle. ScusEinza is paid at the St. James's Theatre at the rate of 801. per night, whereas she has just con cluded an engagement at the Vsuietks, before re turning to her old home, the Bodies, for a hundred and fifty representations at 300 fr., or 121. per night. To be led by the nose in our artistic tastes, and to pay through the nose for gratifying them, seems to be our lot. And our taste, too, in such matters is so curious. However, in that we are not singular. Mdlle. TnEurse, of Cafe Chantant notoriety, has just made her debut at Brussels, the Prince DR Joixvirai and other distin guished persons being present thereat, and achieved an enormous success with her song of "Suzon," while Mdlle. FINETTE is in full career at the Gardens of the Eaux Minerales in St. Peters burg, and has all the " nous mitres" of Russian society literally at her feet. Two eminent English physicians have under taken the editorship of a monthly journal of thera peutics, called the Practitioner, and the first num ber of the new periodical has just appeared. The ordinary contents are for professional readers, but in the preface are statements in which mortals of every degree are concerned. While our knowledge of the facts of disease, as well as of the facts of healthy physiological life, has made great progress of late years, the science of healing, we are told, has remained very nearly where it was when Rousszsu exclaimed, " Laissez moi mourir, mail ne me tuez " pas." We know, that is, when a man is ill, and what is the matter with him, but as to his cure we are no wiser than our fathers. It is startling to find physicians like Drs. AMITE and lAwsorr speaking of this as an "unjustly neglected" branch of medical science. We are glad, however, to find that they regard it as " all important," and wetrust that the new magazine will succeed in inducing the profession to endeavour in future to pay more attention to the neglected portion of their calling, and consequently direct their efforts more parti cularly to getting their patients well. The Chancellor of the Exchequer intends, in committee on Inland Revenue Bill, to move to leave out clause 11, and insert the following clause :—" (As to stamp duty on transfers of debenture stock.) In lieu of the duties now payable under the provisions of any act or acts of parliament upon transfers of debenture stock of any company, there shall be charged and paid upon every such transfer a stamp duty of 2s. 6d. for every full sum of 1001., and also for any fractional part of 1001. of the nominal amount of the stock transferred." A bill has been prepared by Mr. Selater-Booth and Mr. Gathorne Hardy to enable the Treasury, on the death of persons in the Civil Service entitled to sums under 1001., to direct payment thereof without the production of letters of administration. TnE Biunan MERcANTILE MARlNE.—Aocord ing to a return published this morning, it appears that the total number of sailing and steam vessels registered in the ports of the United Kingdom, its dependencies, and colo , nies, in 1867, was 40,684, having an aggregate barthen of 7,206,318 tons. There were 900 timber and 367 iron vessels registered in the United Kingdom as new skip in 1867. Of the number belonging to the United King. dom that were wrecked in 1867, there were 800 sailing; and 42 steam-vessels, representing an aggregate of 213,084 tons. The Northern Whig says :—" Two gentlemen— L. Livingston Macassey, C.E., and William Scott, C.E. and Fellow of the Royal Scottish Society of Arts—have just published a report on a proposed railway tunnel between Scotland and Ireland. We cannot pronounce any opinion as to the feasibility of the scheme, though the two authors of this report, after having, as they say, thoroughly investigated the matter, have no doubt as to its practicability. As, how ever, the possibility of making • tunnel from Dover to Calais has been seriously thought of, it is not altogether unnatural that there should be a proposition to make a railway tunnel to join Scotland and Ireland, and save squeamish travellers the sickly horrors of even the short sea passage." A letter has been addressed to ns by Mr. Loe, of 7, Gray's.inn-square, in the matter of the Joint-stock Discount Company and Mr. James /Frieling Wilkinson. Mr. Loe asserts that the settlement of the action, which was to have been tried last Friday at Guildhall, involved no such admissions as those stated in the recant letter of Mr. Holt. Mr. Lawson was prepared from fr e t to last to adhere to the evidenes which he gave on Mr. Wilkinson's trial. It was admitted by both parties that the matters out of which the action arose ori ginated in mistake and misunderstanding, and nothing more. The action would never have been settled had the settlement involved such arrangements as Mr. Holt suggested. In proof of this a copy of the memorandum, as agreed to by the counsel on both sides, is ap. pended, together with letters from Mr. Overend and Mr. Hawkins, endorsing the views of Mr. Loa. On Monday next 21 trains are arranged by the Midland Railway to commence to run eac h way daily between Hendon and Moorgate-street, about half of which will run through to and from Bodford. On Sundays the number of trains is limited to seven or eight each way. We (Record) regret to learn that the report of the Irish Church Commissioners will not be ready so soon u was stated in the H 0998 of Commons, and that the delay is owing to the discovery of miscalculations m to the amount of the deductions claimed to be allowed to themselves by some of the prelates from the estimate of their nett in. comes. It is stated that the new calculations will con siderably increase the sum likely to be available out of the surplus episcopal income for the benefit of the underpaid working clergy. The bridge across the Dee at Kirkcudbright was thrown open to public hallo yesterday. 'Mb work was undertaken and completed okielly by the munificence of Mr. Murray Stewart, of Broughton, and Yr.

(THIS DAY.) SPAIN. The T my,* of to-day says Serious news has come from Spain. A military con 'piracy is said to have been discovered, and the Spanish government have arrested and imprisoned some generals. Amongst the greatest are several well-known persons, who have acted a conspicuous part in Spanish affairs, such as Nlanhal Serrano (the Duke de la Torre) and Generals Dulce, Cordova, Bud 7.abula. It will ho recollected that for some time, especially since the death of Narvaea, a report was current in Europe that a revolu tionary movement was preparing in the Peninsula. and that aU parties who were opposed to the system of reac tion, compression, and tenor, inaugurated by the Duko of Valencia, and continued by his colleague and suenessor, Geumles Bravo, bad united for the purpose of making a last effort to upset it. About a month ago there was a inmatese report of a rising in Catalonia. If, as is re ported, the arrested generals were in league with the ex tame plotless who are plotting the overthrow of queen lialmlisie throne, wo may expect to hear somi serious news. The Da•L•nis remarks: When men of the importance of Serrano, Duke, and Zubabs are imprisoned, we must conclude that the government which arrested them 1111'1 been in great paril ; and, until some days have pawed, we may believe that the danger is not wholly over. If there has been a plot, it must have boon extensive. Are the government sure that they have all the threads of the conspiracy in their hands P Is it not possible that some of the generals implicated have escaped, and that they will make one of those desperate attempts which have succeeded in upsetting thrones less tottering than that of Queen Isa bella A despatch from Madrid, dated yesterday, says : The arrest of the generals is officially confirmed. Ac cording to the information received by the government they were in connivance with the revolution ista, and were preparing a movement having for object to upset the existing order of things. The occur rence has been well received by public opinion, which was already pre-occupied by the plans attributed to those generals. Everyone here desires peace and tran quillity, and cares very little for the ambitions of the extreme parties. The sensible progressista themselves applaud the energy displayed by the government. The most perfect order prevails in the provinces. NB. J. BRIGHT, M.P., AT LIMERICK. rt having been announced that Mr. J. Bright, M.P., would arrive in Limerick on his way to Castle connel, to visit his friend Mr. Peabody, a large number of citizens proceeded on Tuesday to the railway terminus to give him a cordial reception. Mr. Peabody bad proceeded to the Limerick Junction to meet Mr. Bright, and had come on with him to Limerick, and when the train by which both gentlemen came drrived at the terminus, Mr. Bright was received by Major Gavin and Alderman Quinlivan. The hon. gentle man shook the alderman warmly by the bands, and en tered into conversation with him and Dean O'Brien, who also shook hands with him and Mr. Peabody, and they were loudly cheered by the assembled crowd. After a abort conversation on the platform, Mr. Bright and Mr. Peabody, on the alderman's invitation, proceeded to the board-room, where a dejeiner awaited them. Alderman Quinlivan presided, having on his right, Mr. Bright, M.P. ; Major GaYill, M.P. ; and Eyre Lloyd, Esq., D.L. and on his left, Mr. Peabody, the Raw Dean - O'Brien, and Bev. Dr. O'Shea, P.P. . _ _ After a few remark from the Chairman and Dean Mr. BRIONT said—l wrote to Mr. Peabody two or three days ago—and I think he did not get my letter till yesterday—to ask him if he would excuse me from entering on any public demonstration during my short visit to him m this part of the country ; and the reason that occurred to me for so writing was that after four or five months of hard work in the Mouse of Commons, every man who escapes from that un comfortable place must wish to be tree from dis cussion and those questions which had been press ing on his mind for month@ past. At the same time, I know that this is a very important crisis, to which reference haa been made, and for many years there has been no time, in my op pion, _eo interesting as regards the present and future of Ireland as the time through which we are now passing—(hear, hear)—and if I could be of the slightest use by anything that I could say or do here to further your great cause, I should be disposed entirely to cast amide every consideration of my own ease or convenience. (Applause.) It is about nineteen or twenty years since I was in your city before ; and I spent some weeks in travelling around the South of Ireland ; and in '62 I spent some weeks in travelling through the North of Ireland with an Irishman well acquainted with this country,. and the result of my observations and conversa tions with all those I met was to settle my faith with regard to Irish affairs in a manner that nothing since that time has been able to disturb. On the latter occasion, in 1862, I spoke to a large number of gentlemen as to the policy the Imperial Parliament ought to pursue towards this country ; and I believe that if I looked back to that speech I should be able to fix my hand in approval on everything I then said. The more I consider all things affecting the interests of Ireland the more I am convinced that the_ apphaihm of those just principles which are found chiMy in every other country will be found useful and effective if applied to this country. I don't know with regard to what the mayor kindly proposes what arrangements will be bed; but perhaps by • private com munication with him and my friend the dean, some arrangement may be made convenient to the citizens of Limerick, and also to my friend Mr. Peabody ' owing to whose kindness I happen to be in this wt of the coun try. I leave to a private converes any arrange ment that may be made se to what may be con venient. I must say that lam very much gratified and thankful that anybody should think it worth while, when I came here, to give me so cordial and kind a r eception, and invite me to your beautiful luncheon. Amng i r2 the lehonre I have had in connection with political affairs in England and in the English parliament nothing has taken more hold of my sympathies than what is called the bah question ; and if I could be permitted to do anything to mums the animosity in this country between certain chasm, and between certain dames here and the people of my country, I think I would have achieved the greatest service during_iny lifetime that I could render to my fellow countrymen. Let me say, in conclusion, how much obliged lam f y or th / n oiir kindness to-day. I feel greatly compensated for an I have been able to say on your behalf, that you have appreciated and received me with so much di.- Unction and kindness on this occasions . (Cheers.) The Ciumult, after a short consultation with Mr. Bright and Mr. Peabody, said he rejoiced to be able to an nounce that Mr. Bright had consented to be invited to a public dejewner on Monday next, at 1 o'clock, which was received amid applause.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CHILD STF A LING. (PROs ors oinr oosszsroyszyr.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY ETMCING. A woman was tried at the Paris Assize Court yesterday for stealing a child under very extra ordinary circumstances. This is a crime of not frequent occurrence. The last case of the kind occurred seven years ago, when a judge's little boy was stolen from the Tuileries gar dens by a girl who thought she could persuade her lover to marry her if she could make him believe she had a child of his. The motive in the present case was to a certain extent analogous; but then, as now, an indulgent jury prone to pardon feminine vagaries pronounced a verdict of acquittal. The prisoner placed at the bar yesterday was a well-looking married woman, 24 years old, named Marie Emingeard, who, before her arrest lived with her husband, a man of 34, at Easel in the department of the Correze. The spouses carried on the busi ness of rush-bottomed chair makers, and were in very good circumstances for their station in life. They were married in 1864, and though they had frequent quarrels, never ceased to live together ex cept during some months in 1866, when the wife had a situation in Paris. They had no child, and the wife fancied that her sterility was the reason why she and her husband did not get on well together. Impressed with this idea she one day said to him that while she was in service in Paris she had been waned of a little girl ; that she had been afraid to tell him lest he might fancy that he was not the father, and that she had left the child with an aunt in Paris. The husband, so far from being angry, said he would like to have the child brought home at once, and sent his wife to Paris, with plenty of money in her pocket, to fetch it. Her idea was to go to the Foundling Hospital, and ask to adopt a child ; but when she found she could not do this without showing her " papers," which would have led to inquiry and discovery, she resolved to steal one. She compounded with her conscience by the theory that if she took away the child of a very poor person, with the thorough determination to bring it up well, she would in the main be doing a good action. The day after she arrived in Paris she saw three children at play on the Boulevard de la Gare, near the Orleans Railway-station. The eldest (in charge of the two) was a boy of 9; the second a boy of 31; and the third, who she thought would suit her purpose, a little girl twenty months old. She made friends with the children, treated them at a cake shop, and then, to draw them further away from their home, went to a restaurant where they had coffee and " a ha'porth of soda water." Afterwards, going still further off, she bought a frock for the little girl. Finally, she gave the two boys the slip, and took the child to her lodgings, where she slept with it. The next morning she was on her way to the Orleans railway station with the stolen child in her arms, when, by an almost miraculous coincidence, the child's eldest sister, 14 years old, who was going to a shop where she worked, recognised the infant, and with great firmness told the woman that unless she brought her home immediately she would call the police and have her arrested. The woman Emingeerd offered the girl a bribe of a watch and 40 franca to let her go, but the girl refused to part with her prisoner. The parents, who had been in the greatest distress at the loss of their infant, were Germans, named Bellinger, living on the Boulevard de rilopitaL They detained the woman ward, and a commissary of police comb, her for trial. The public proseeutor and the 11 siding judge pressed for a nenvietion, and lc upon the jury that a poor couple had as affection for their offspring as a rich 0110, prisoner's comma, without pleading insanity, ceodod in inoculating the jury with him ti, that the woman's mind WllB so fwr hi s y ct hysteria and fancies that she was not criiniz4,l, responsible for the act she had committed ; ce i verdict of " not guilty" was returned, Colonel de Charetto, the commander of Pontifical &Alarm in Itoine, Lam suddenly thru, up his commission, in consequence, 118 it is I, lievcd, of a quarrel with General Kunzler. .; colonel had asked the pro-Miiiiitor-of-An n , • an account of the voluntary coi.ri, hint from Fri 110 e for the Zl/118v.

F. announcing the loss of several vessels and the nue several Europeans at certain of the isiNedm South Sea group. The alleged jusfitieation of this v on the pert of the natives was, according to a letter w• by a trader in those seas, that these atrocities we, ictratod by the natives in revenge for the loss in of their countrymen, who had been c•irried awiy • years previously to Queensland and the Fi!fi I i. • Europeans, who hired them as laboun•rs, and pt., to return them to their homes in twelve tumuli.. i facts relating to the murder of the European: .1" . !. disputed; but in the iiffiei.il , pc„ has taken place upon the subject. and come: of is. went published this wnting, it does not app.ir the plea of justification let le.•n supported. In this c. respondence there are two irms,rtunt statements. on addressed to the Governor of New South Wales (I.or Delmore), by the Ifebrisles missi.4l, awl another by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Soci•t. to the Duke of Buckingham. In both assertion as to the abduction of the natives is rope.o and the missionaries say they were credibly informed t:.. several of the smaller islands in the northern part of group had been almost entirely stripped of the in population. The Anti-Slavery Society made the fin.... assertion that, although certain of the natives appear-•I : have been engaged under some written form of agreem,;... considerable numbers of them had been kidnapped forcibly brought into the colony. They also alleged this traffic, known as it was to the government, &Rho,. not directly sanctioned by it, was earned on by priv individuals without any public control or supervi,l whatever, and that persons occupying responsible pub.. positions were also engaged in it. In a letter addressed to the Anti-Slavery Society, slat the 19th ult., Mr. C. B. Adderley shows that, accord.; to the evidence laid before the Colonial Minister, th•. statements are unfounded, and he expresses his curl.: • that such charges should ever have Leen made.

" _ _ _ An encounter with swords took place two day; back in the Bois do Boulogne, near Autenil, between is Bourse speculators, MM. Eugilie Norzy and Henry Cremieu, the former being the uncle of the latter. seconds of M. Norzy were his clerk and a writer in th , Charivari, whilst those of M. Crimieu were two the line. After a short combat the nephew was slilttly wounded in the breast and the affair terminated. Professor Mahan, of the United States Militiry Academy, West Point, speaks as follows of Grant, the cadet:—" He was what we termed a first section mut .:1 all his scientific studies; that is, one who accomplishes tli: full course. He always showed himself a clear think and a steady worker. lie belonged to the class of com pactly strong men who went to their task at once. an! kept at it until finished, never being seen, like the Ale k twisted class, yawning, lolling on their elbows, over tin .r work, and looking as if just ready to sink down smw mental inanity." . _ Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton says, in the P. /sties (an American paper), that she has " taken care several babies," yet has worked in the cause of worno twenty years or more. "We have addressed our tune many times, spoken on education, temperance, slayer!. and written many articles for the press. When we neat to Albany to address the Legislature, we took oar nurse and babies to the Delavan House, left them safe in room, went to the Capitol, found it filled with ladies, all made our speech. It takes no longer to speak listen. When we finished we shook hands all around. and went home to our babies, and the rest of the wowed to theirs. If we were a member of the Legislitunt we could spen I • few hours every day in the Capital which other women spend in fashionable calls, shol'l 44 ' gossiping, dining, dressing, and riding." Such a dry hot season as the present has not been known in the south of England for the last 1. ) years. There is not the slightest trace of dew at night- This excessive dryness is owing to the prevailing petit currents. If we could get equatorial currents they would be loaded with vapour, and we should get rain. In all parts water has to be taken la sheep and other cattle. In the neighbourhood of Salis bury and other places where there are great numbers of sheep, water carts are in use from morning to night. It is found more advisable to take water to the cattle then to drive the latter along hot dusty roads to watering pleas. It is curious that large quantities of rain have Wm in Net Yak.
