Children under twelve, ed • 1114 ci:, Art} s4+o LOADON, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1869, The greatest of all our National Painters, WILLIAM HOGARTH, had offered to his memory, yesterday, in the House of Commons, a tribute of magnanimity. And this tribute, it should be said at once, was all the more remarkable for inasmuch as it arose out of a contest for the acquisition of one of his produc tions —the competitors for the particular work in question being a princely firm of Picture Dealers and the Nation itself, as represented by the Trustees of the National Portrait Gallery. Mr. DISRAELI it was who had the privilege of explaining to the House of Commons yesterday the really charming particulars of this most graceful competition. It had re ference to a contest of purses for the acquisition of a HOGARTH of surpassing interest—the portrait of HOGARTH at his easel, painted by HOGARTH himself —the rival purses being held, the one by the eminent firm of the Messrs. AGNEW and Sons, of Manchester, the other by her MAJESTY'S Government. Curiously enough, just at the very time when the incident related last night by the ex-Premier has come to light, has been brought thus distinctly to the know ledge of Parliament, and of the whole country, the story of WILLIAM HOGARTII'S life has been related afresh and very strikingly in the current number of Maga for August, as the twelf th of the " Historical Sketches of the Reign of GEORGE IL—The Painter." There, among other circumstances, illustrating the success and failure of the great National Painter's career— of its success as a means of winning him fame, even in his own life time, of its failure as a means of gaining for him anything like adequate remuneration, even for his noblest masterpieces—there has been vividly recalled to remembrance the fact that.for nineteen of, we had nearly said, the most wonderful productions of his hand,certainly for nineteen among his most wonder ful productions, HOGARTH received merelythe sum of £427 sterling. The nineteen pictures for which he re ceived, on the 25th of January, 1745, that paltry sum of £427, being the Six pictures of " The Harlot's Progress," the Eight of " The R tke's Progress," " The Four Times of the Day," and " The Strolling Actresses." Since that date nearly a century and a quarter had run out. And, now, for a single picture of HOGARTH'S—not for Nineteen of his Mas terpieces, but for one single picture of HOGARTH'S-- certainly, a portrait of himself painted by himself, there is an eager competition for the privilege of being purchasers of it for three hundred and fifty guineas. And a contest, too, not between JOHN NOAKES and Ton STYLES, but between the Govern ment itself and a firm of picture dealers as eminent as the Messrs. AGNEW and SONS, of Manchester. Reference, as Mr. DIsnaELI reminded the House of Commons yesterday, had been made only the other evening, in Committee of Supply, to the recen sale of the particular picture referred to, the portrait of IIoGARTir, painted by him self, an imputation being then cast upon the trustees of the National Portrait Gallery, for insamuch as it was thought they had not fulfilled their duty and, that in consequence of a want of 'ands, a precious picture was lost to the Country From this charge Mr. DISRAELI at the time vindicated the trustees. In doing so, he ex explained that the trustees had offered 350 guineas, but that they had been outbid by a gentleman from Manchester. Consequent upon the discussion which then arose, Mr. DISRAELI explained last night that " he had received from the trustees of the National Portrait Gallery a communication which had been sent to them the other day, from which it appeared that the picture was purchased, not by a private gentleman, but by the well-known firm of Messrs. AGNEwand Sons, of Manchester." In this communication the Messrs. AGNEW and SONS wrote to the trustees of the National Portrait Gallery—" We bought the picture for our stock, and without reference to any particular pur chaser, and at a sum we consider much below the value of a work by lIOGARTH of unsurpassed irate rest." And they further said, "We shall not stand 41 the way of the country acquiring this importan picture, which every lover of art must desire i should possess. From the debate in the House we re. ceived the first intimation that it was sought to pur chase the picture for the national collection. We con. alder it to be our duty, as it is no less our pleasure, to offer the picture to the trustees for the Barn bidden by their agent." The House of Commons cheered Mr. DISRAELI'S announcement of the spontaneou3 and gracious magnimity with which the Messrs. AGNEW thus waived their claim to the painting, allowing it to pass into the possession of the Nation, and to be stored up among the treasures of the National Portrait Gallery. The ex-Premier justly eulo gised the conduct of the Messrs. AGNEW, as indicative of great public spirit, observing that it " was so rare a thing for dealers in pictures to waive their right to valuable works of art that he thought it due to the Messrs. AGNEW and SONS that the fact of their readiness to give up the picture to the nation should be known." It was not the first time, as Mr. DISRAELI'S added, that the House of Cora mons or the Country had had knowledge of the pub- lie spirit of Manchester. But the incident imme diately under consideration certainly constitutes a new and very striking illustration of the generous and magnanimous spirit animating the Merchant Princes of Lancashire. IN their annual report to the Lords of the Treasury her Majesty's Commissionersof Customs have deigned to give some account of their remarkable dealings with dock property. Such explanation was much needed. The doings of the Commissioners have excited widespread discontent and—it is not too much to say—inflicted material injury on commercial interests. In an evil hour they were entrusted with an impor tant administrative function, of which they have made a most unsatisfactory use. It was given to them to decide to what parties the right of landing and warehousing goods should be conceded; and as, of course, no foreign commerce can be carried on without landing powers, the Commissioners virtually decide where such commerce shall be allowed, and where it shall be prohibited. It is more than doubtful whether this great and increasing responsibility should not be vested in a higher authority, But it is clear that if this power be given to the Commissioners of Customs, it ought to be exercised with the greatest care and modera tion. The administration of these officials has, how ever, been characterised by lamentable indiscretion ; and in the case of two important metropolitan companies—the Milwall and the Dagenham Docks Companies—the license to land goods was arbi trarily and unreasonably refused. Hitherto the Commissioners have not wasted much argument in reply to public complaints touching their deeds ; but they deem it not beneath their dignity to enlarge a little on the subject in their report to the Treasury. They begin with the Milwall Docks ; and a very unfortunate beginning it is. That the Milwall Company should ask landing powers of the Commis sioners, be refused (of course), and that the Lords of the Treasury should overrule the decision of their subordinates, and grant the license for the space of three years, cannot be deemed an auspicious opening of the case. The Commissioners feel this, and do not disguise their wrath with the Treasury Department. They aver that landing foreign goods was not contemplated by the Act which the company obtained in 1864; though what this can matter to the worthy Commissioners it is difficult to see. They have refused landing powers to the Dagenham Company, though foreign trade was proposed by the latter body from the first— thus shewing themselves superior to all Acts of Par liament, or anything that may be contemplated in them. In the one case the Commissioners with hold the license, although the trade expressly sanc tioned by the Legislature cannot be carried on without it; in the other case they complain that the project sketched out in the original Act has been departed from ! The dilemma is plain : if the Board be guided in conferring landing powers by the deci sions of Parliament, the sooner a licence is granted to the Dagenham Company the better for the Board's consistency; and if those powers are granted without regard to the Legislature, why do the Commissioners complain that the Milwall Company obtained an Act to do one kind of business, and have since made up their minds to carry on another ? Surely the Dagen ham affair does not testify to much respect for Acts of Parliament. There the Commissioners have for months past revelled in the luxury of nullifying and frustrating three Acts. The powers which the Mill wall Company obtained in 1864 were "to make and maintain canals in the Isle of Dogs, to provide accom modation for shipping, and water-side accommoda tion for shipbuilding and other business requiring river frontage." These stipulations, urges the-Board, pro vide for manufacturing purposes alone; the old com panies did not oppose the Act of 1864, because nothing was said in it about landing goods; and yet the Lords of the Treasury, setting aside the opinion of the Commissioners, have granted landing powers. This is, doubtless, an enormity, but something may be said in its favour. It may be pleaded that the prime duty of their lordships was not to prop up old companies ; but, in granting this landing license, to determine whether the Milwall Company could fairly lay any claim to it. The Treasury had the advan tage of the Commissioners' wisdom in deciding this question, and yet their lordships resolved to grant the landing powers. Nor does it appear that any great wrong was done. The Milwall Company ob tained the license only on condition of giving up shipbuilding, they were to guarantee the Treasury against loss, their powers would expire in three years, at the end of which time they must come up to receive sentence. These conditions ought to have satisfied, one world think, even Customs' Commissioners. But the Board loudly complains that its decision was overruled by the Treasury, and their lordships are plainly informed that it was owing to " parliamentary pressure." This outburst of indignation affords a clue to the Commissioners' feelings. Their great mission is to resist parlia mentary influence. Great trade questions ought to be settled, not in the House of Commons, but at the Custom House. The open arena of the Legis lature, where all claimants can be heard, and where private and public rights receive—if not a perfectly impartial hearing —one much less biassed than can be had elsewhere, is not the place for the Board. The Commissioners have kept up their dignity by distri buting their favours without regard to Parliament or its Acts; and they are astonished to find that the Treasury is so weak as to be open to such influence. Of course, the past is irrevocable, but let the Trea sury take warning in future. The case of the Milwall, Company will be heard again when their license expires, and, moreover, there is another com pany which wants a license, and has notyet obtained one. Yes, the Lords of the Treasury have yet a chance to sheer themselves men like the Commissioners, and resist parliamentary influence. They must not give way in the case of the Dagenham Docks. It is true that there is no chance of taking refuge in an Act of Parliament here, for the three Acts granted to the Dagenham Company plainly contemplate the landing and warehousing of goods—the business planned from the first is an impossibility with out these powers. The Commissioners, however, bring forward other pleas. They are not convinced that the Dagenham works are needed. They admit that "several" firms, unconnected with the company, have testified that they are needed, but these unofficial witnesses, says the Board, have not considered the accommodation already provided in different places along the Thames. The " several " firms alluded to number one hundred and thirty three of the leading mercantile City houses, and are quite as well able to judge whether the existing accommodation be sufficient as are the Commis sioners. These merchants testify that the landing and warehousing accommodation at Dagenham would be highly advantageous in the case of dan gerous and inflammable material—petroleums, oil, resin, &c., and though the Commissioners point out that several places of the kind are now available, in nearly every case the premises alluded to are situated in populous neighbourhoods or contiguous to other valuable property. But we repeat that it is a gross injustice to consider such a question now. The time for deciding whether the accommodation was wanted or not was when the bill empowering the company to commence business was before Parliament, not after the works have been commenced and some £160,000 expended. The Board has no right whatever to question the usefulness of an undertaking which the Legislature has sanctioned ; its only function in such a case is to see that there is no primd facie objection to the opening of the works. By passing three Acts for the formation of a company and the construction of docks, Par- liament clearly implies the power of landing goods, without which the rest of the property would be entirely useless. The business of the Commissioners, like that of the Board of Trade in the case of railways, is simply to see that the arrangements are not defective, and though several trivial objections are raised on this score, the leading objection of the Board is that Parliament has sanctioned an undertaking which is not required, and, therefore, Parliament must be set at nought. To stop a great undertaking after a large outlay, as they have arbitrarily done, is simply to overrule the decision of the supreme power in the State. The Commissioners plead that: the wharf and warehouses only are complete, and that the docks have not been commenced. It unfortunately happens that the works have been suspended; but the Board does not add that the stoppage is owing to their refusal, which is the fact. The Commissioners have, in short, nothing whatever to say touching the Acts of Parlia ment except that since these Acts were obtained the dock accommodation in the neighbourhood of the metropolis has largelyincreased. Their decision, then, amounts to this: the shareholders of the Dagenham Company must lose their money, the works already made must fall to decay, and Dagenham remains desolate because other companies have gone into the same line of business and have obtained the privileges which the unfortunate company vainly seek, although those privileges were, as they believed, guaranteed to them by Act of Parliament. MR. W HALLEY, M.P., AND HIS EDITOR, In Vice-Chancellor Stuart's Court on Friday, the case of " Mill v. G. H. Whalley, M.P., and the Peterborough Times Newspaper Company" came on for hearing. It was a motion on behalf of Mr. John Mill, of Peter borough, for an injunction against the defendants, under the following circumstances as alleged by the plaintiff's bill. The above-named company was registered in 1865, for the purpose of publishing the Peterborough Times as an organ of the political and religious views of a party in Peterborough, of whom Mr. G. H. Whalley, M.P., is chief. Shares were taken only by prominent members of that party, Mr. Whalley being the holder of five shares. The propaga• tion of certain political and religious opinions, and not pecuniary profit, was the practical object of the share holders. The paper, however, was conducted at a considerable loss, and at length Mr. Whalley took it himself. Mr. Whalley having acquired exclusive con trol of the newspaper, &c., about April 1868 engaged the plaintiff as editor. There being a loss of £3 per week on the newspaper, Mr. Whalley, in July 1868. entered into a written agreement with the plaintiff for the sale to him of his interest in the newspaper, the plant, &c., at the price of £3OO, to be paid in nine months, the plaintiff undertaking by letter to advocate in the newspaper Mr. Whalley's interests in everything appertaining to the representation of Peterborough. At the last election the political and religious party in question were greatly dissatisfied with what they called the worse than useless advocacy of the views by the Peterborough Times, and on the 9th of June last no part of the £3OO having been paid by the plaintiff to Mr. Whalley, some of the defendant's company, at the request of Mr. Whalley, forcibly turned the plaintiff out of possession of the newspaper property. An injunction was, therefore, now asked on his behalf to restrain the defendants from continuing in possession of the newspaper premises. The Vice-Chancellor, after hearing counsel, decided that the plaintiff was entitled to an injunction on his undertaking to pay the purchase money on or before the Ist of September, with interest at 4 per cent., from the date when the promissory note for the £3OO became due. ATETVSPAPER NOME.NCLATURE. An important decision anent the rights of newspaper proprietors to the exclusive use of the titles attached to their journals was given on Frday by Vice-Chancellor Malins in the case of " Chance v. Sheppard." The plain tiff, in the year 1867, became the purchaser of two news papers, one called the Bedfordshire Express the other the Hertfordshire Express, and caused himself to be registered as the printer, publisher, and proprietor of the same in accordance with the provisions of the old Act of William IV. just repealed. The defendant is the publisher of the Luton Adrel tiser, and on the 9th of July of the present year it came to the knowledge of the plaintiff, who resides at Hitchin, that he had issued a paper in general appearance resembling the .Bedfordshire Express, and bearing the same name printed in exactly similar tipe. Upon this a communication was opened up on the subject between the plaintiff and defendant, and the latter, apparently convinced that he had infringed the rights of the former, ordered such of the numbers of the first issue as were within reach to be cancelled. Taking second counsel, however, he resumed the pub lication, and wrote to the plaintiff to cease discontinuing publishing the Bedfordshire Express, as he had himself made the copyright of that title his property. In a subsequent letter he explained that what he had done was this : he had searched the register at Stationers' Hall, and not finding that the paper in question had been regis tered there by the plaintiff, he entered the title in his own name. An injunction was thereupon moved for, which was argued at great length, Mr. Cole, Q.C., and Mr. Rigby, who appeared for the plaintiff, standing not so much upon registration as upon asor, a vsor which had extended over a period of about nine years. The title, in fact, was a trade mark, which no one could infringe without peril. Nume rous cases in support of this view were cited. For the defendant it was argued by Mr. Glasse, Q.C., and Mr. Higgins that there was no copyright in the title, and that the plaintiff could not obtain the relief sought, as he had failed to comply with the provisions of the Act of William IV., which required that he should not only register him self as the proprietor of the paper, but prove that the persons from whom he had bought it were registered, and also prove the assignment to himself. It was further contended by the defendant's counsel that the plaintiff was not justified in publishing the same paper—the Hertfordshire Express and the Bedfordshire Express are virtually the same—merely adding to the title the name of different counties. The Vice-Chancellor, who made repeated efforts to get the case settled, suggesting that the defendant should take some other title for his paper, the appearance of which, he remarked, was so similar that when held in the hands of counsel he could not, from the bench, distinguish the one from the other, made a decree to the effect that the defendant should not publish , any newspaper under the name of the Bedfordshire Express or under any name or style of which the words Bedfordshire E<•press should form a part. In making this order his Honour expressed the opinion that the case was as clear as possible. The plaintiff had duly registered his paper under the old Act, and the statement of the defendant that, residing only a few miles off the place of publica tion, he had never heard of the Bedfordshire Express, almost transcended credence. Supposing that was so, when he found he had taken another man's title, he should have taken care there was no second issue of the paper. Instead of that he assumed to have acquired the right to the name himself, and forbade the plaintiff to use it. This WAS a course of conduct not only preposterous and absurd, but hardly consonant with common honesty. There was a distinct property in the title of a newspaper, which everyone had a right to have protected. It was a subject of regret that the practice of the court would not allow him at that stage to order the defendant to pay costs. The Postage Stamps of Spain still bear the likeness of the ex-Queen Isabella. An eminent German counted the number of hairs in heads of four different colours: in a blonde one he found 140,400 hairs; in a brown, 109,440; in a black, 102,962; and in a red one, 88,740. It is said to be the present intention of their Excellencies, Lord and Lady Spencer, to leave Holyhead by the steamer which reaches Kingstown on Friday morning, the 6th August. They will be attended by the private secretary and an A.D.C. in waiting. The late Dr. Waddington has bequeathed the munificent sum of six thousand pounds to the Durham County Hospital. Among other legacies left by the Dean Mr. Hoare, his butler, and Mr. Hartley, his verger, have received £2,000 each. Those of his domestics who had been one year and upwards in his service receive three years' wages each. The rioters at Dunkeld still continue their assaults on the toll-gate. They have destroyed a second bar and erection. They number among their supporters a Lord of the Sessions. Mr. Robertson, the leader of the attack, has been summoned to appear before the justices. The Duke of Athole has also commenced an action against him. THE LIMERICK JUNCTION MURDER. —At the Tipperary Assizes, on Friday, Michael Byrne, a farmer, was tried for the murder of Edward Tracey, near Lime. rick Junction, in January last. At the close of the prosecution Judge George said he considered no case had been established, and the prisoner was acquitted. THE PRINCESS OP WALES. —The retirement offered by the quiet and romantically-situated bath of Wildbad, in the Black Forest, has been one of the chief reasons for its selection by the Princess of Wales at the close of a somewhat prolonged and certainly fatiguing season. But in addition to this Wildbad has a certain reputation in joint affections, derived probably from the temperature rather than the chemical constitution of its waters; and advantage will be taken of the local means of treatment in the case of her Royal Highness, who is still somewhat inconvenienced by the absence of perfect power of flexion. —Lancet. ANOTHER IRISH JUDGE ON CRIME IN IRELAND. In addressing the grand jury at the Tipperary assizes, Mr. Justice George spoke of the great amount of unde tected crime in the county, and deplored the prevalence of threatening letters. Even in some cases where the offenders had been traced, there was a reluctance to pro secute. The learned judge, however, expressed an earnest hope that all;well-disposed persons would aid the authori ties in the administration of justice. THE REPRESENTATION OF SALISBURY. Mr. Edward Hamilton, the senior member for Salis bury, has resigned his seat. The hon. gentle- man, who was first elected for the city at the general election in July 1865, is a brother of the Bishop of Salisbury. He is a sound Liberal in politics, and is described in " Dod" as in "favour of the reduction of the public expenditure, the abolition of 'University Tests, and the removal of the Irish Church; and will vote for the reduction, with a view to the total abolition, of the income tax." At the general election last November, Mr. Hamilton stood second on the poll, the numbers being—Lush (L), 748 ; Hamilton (L), 679 ; Ryder (C), 623. A petition was pre sented against the return of Mr. Hamilton, but it failed in unseating him. Mr. Alfred Seymour, who represented Totnes in the Liberal interest from January 1863 till last November, has issued an address, in which he states that he will, if elected, cordially support MkGIA4 Wiles —'ice 12.51 i iilithte..l.lllitiollr_otthe Ballnh NEXT SESSION. Besides the tiotices we have already alluded to as occu pying the paper of the House of Commons for next session, the following additional ones have appeared : Dr. Lyon Playfair—To call the attention of the House to the want of connection and defective organisation of the Hygienic services of the State, and to move for a select committee to consider the best means for their con solidation, so as to promote the health of the people. Mr. Raikes—To call the attention of the House to the advisability of reverting to transportation as a method of dealing with certain cases of crime, as well as of establish ing a settlement for the separate occupation of convicts who have served their sentence. Mr. Somerset Beaumont—Bill for relieving all bishops who shall hereafter be consecrated of their legislative and judicial duties in the House of Peers. Mr. Dodds—Bill to amend the laws relating to the registration of parliamentary voters in counties in Eng land and Wales. Sir John Gray—Bill to amend the Act under which the Medical Council of Education and Regulation is now con stituted, with 4, view to securing a uniform system of granting licenses to practise the medical and surgical profession, which shall afford to the public a guarantee that all candidates who receive such license possess a practical acquaintance with disease, by including in the examination of his fitness to practice the profession suit able tests of his capacity to recognise and treat disease analogous to the examinations at the bedside of the hospital patient and in the dispensary now adopted by the heads of the army medical service in this country, and by the licensing authority in Germany. Mr. Cawley—To call the attention of the House to the injustice of the present system of exempting Government offices and buildings from liability to contribute to local rates and charges to which private property is liable ; and to move resolutions thereon. Mr. Candlish—To move that, in the opinion of this Rouse, the national expenditure for non-effective services is excessive, and ought to be greatly diminished. Viscount Sandon—Bill to provide for the education of the children of out-door paupers. INDIAN .R.AILTV.AYS. Some important papers on the subject of railway extension in India have been published, which give an idea 3f the policy likely to be adopted by the Executive Govern• ment of India with respect to this question. On the 11th of March Lord Mayo and the Executive Council, in a long despatch to the Duke of Argyll, discuss the most suitable agency for the construction of railways. ?hey point out that the, time has arrived for the Government to take the control of the new extensions out of the hands of private companies, although this policy need not be carried out to an exclusive extent. The experience of India, as well as of other countries, chews that an extravagantly constructed railway is per manently a financial failure ; and to a poor country this lesson is of exceptional importance. In India the needful capital can only be obtained at the risk, and under the guarantee, of the State ; an unsuccessful railway is therefore a public burden. " If," says the despatch, " India cannot manage to provide itself with railways which shall so far pay, at least, to cover the ordinary rate of interest on the necessary capital, the progress of construction must very soon be stopped, or the finances brought into a condition of extreme dis order. The actual results of the present arrangement: , with Indian railway companies have forced upon us the conviction that this paramount condition has not hitherto been complied with, and that the Government has prac tically been unable to control the expenditure so as effectually to protect its financial interests ; and this is among the strongest of the motives which induce us to desire to avoid the agency of companies in the future." It appears that the average cost of Indian railways up to the present time bas been about £17,000 per mile. The income of the very best line has hardly paid more than 5 per cent. on the outlay. The average rate is about 3 per cent. As the lines already constructed occupy the most fruitful fields, it follows that in future railways must be made cheaper in the poorer districts. The Executive Council conclude by declaring that they regard the direct action of the Mate as most likely to bring about generally satisfactory results. They hope, however, that a suggestion recently made—that the construction of lines of railway not likely to pay should be made over to the Government, while those which afford a fair prospect of being remunerative hould be reserved for companies —may not be carried out hi practice. The second despatch deals with the lines necessary to be undertaken, whilst the third enters into matters of detail respecting the manner in which the various railways .hould be conducted in order to return a moderate interest on the capital expended. The Duke of Argyll replies on the 15th July, in which he concurs with both Lord Mayo and Lord Lawrence in the opinion that the time has arrived when, both in raising and in spending such additional capital as may be required for new lines in India, the Government should secure for itself the full benefit of the credit which it lends, and of cheaper agencies which ought to be at its command. lie rionsiders that the arrangements proposed by the Execu tive Council are well adapted for providing the country with a fairly complete national system of railway com tmnication. He wishes, however, to be informed in of the character of the machinery to be created for she purpose of carrying the object into effect. The rope of the Aldnarke Main Colliery, near Rotherham, broke on Thursday afternoon, and the cage, laden with coals, fell to the bottom. There were above 200 men and boys in the pit, and though a new rope was obtained as early as possible, it was ten o'clock before they were rescued, having been imprisoned six hours. The Board of Trinity College met on Thursday for the purpose of considering what course they should adopt with reference to Mr. Fawcett's motion. They have arrived at a decision on the subject, and although we cannot publish the exact terms of the resolution, the board meeting being strictly private, we (Dublin Ex presg) believe we are correct in stating that the purport of ( t is that no opposition will be offered to the measure. THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.— Lord Harrowby presided over the annual meeting of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which was held at Willis's Rooms on Friday. It was stated that the society had successfully prosecuted in 1,200 cases during the year. The adoption of the report was moved by the Bishop of Gloucester, and the Earl of Romney was amongst the speakers. TUE BELFAST RIOTS.—A communication from Belfast, dated Friday night, is to the effect that the magisterial investigation into the riots at Lurgan, on the 13th instant, was concluded on that day. Mr. Hancock, the chairman, strongly condemned the conduct of the O ran ge party, who, he said, caused the riots. Nearly seventy prisoners—those who attacked Faloon's•row, and burned the furniture of the Catholic inhabitants—were sent to Armagh Assizes ; the remainder being fined 40s. and costs. Is IT YOURSELF ?--A rather amusing story :onus from Stockholm about the Princess Louisa, laughter of the King of Sweden, who was on Wednes day married to the Crown Prince of Denmark. The Princess's trousseau and wedding presents were laid out in several rooms of the palace, where privileged persons were allowed to come and see them. Of course it was strictly for bidden to touch any of the exhibited article➢. Amongst other visitors came two ladies, one of whom, quite young, put out her hand and began to finger the bride's dress, making some remarks on the material of which it was made. Suddenly she felt herself tapped rather sharply on the shoulder, and the severe voice of a countess in charge demanded if she had not observed the order that nothing was to be touched, " Oh, yes, I observed it," answered the young lady, turning round. What was the amazement of the countess to dis cover that this was no other than the Princess Louisa herself ! A good-natured laugh on the part of the Princess put all to rights. ARTIFICIAL IIARVIISTING.—The Builder has an article on the new system of artificial harvesting. The process which bas just obtained the gold medal of the Society of Arts consists in the use of a fan which drives air heated_ to more than 300 degrees Fahrenheit through the grass as soon as it is cut, rapidly extracting 60 out of the 75 per cent. of water which it contains, leaving a sweet dry hay. For corn, a perforated cone is made use of, on which the sheaves are impaled, and the heated air rushes out from the centre, carrying off the superfluous water. It is said that the hay and corn thus rapidly dried are of superior quality. The adoption of a process of artificial drying is only an additional step in the progress of steam culture. The farmer who has a steam engine in use for any agri cultural service has only to add a fan to his machinery, and the same expenditure of fuel that serves to raise the steam that will drive the fan may be a second time made use of to heat the blast. When once a cheap, easy, and efficient means of applying artificial heat to the drying crops becomes known it is certain to be generally adopted. The great point which the Builder is anxious to impress on the farmer is that we can henceforth noun• teract the misfortune of a wet harvest season. We can not, indeed, be independent of the Influence of the sun on irowth, but when the crops arrive IA tile stage for in gathering, science may step in to render the 18rvest Inds. pendent of the weather. guelisim,n will hem only Vela WilkiiSASSQL4aja.c.
