Al] the customary signs of the rapidly approach ing close of the session and of the season are becom ing distinctly visible. The Lords and Commons are preparing for the grouse shooting. Within a week or thereabouts after the commencement of August Parliament will have been prorogued. The principal Government measure of the year--meaning, for 1869, the Irish Church Bill—having already passed through the two Houses of the Legislature, it is expected this evening will receive the Royal assent by Commission, becoming, thereupon, instanter, upon the magic utter ance of those four Norman-French mono3yllables La reyne le veldt, no longer a Bill, but an Enactment. Imme - liately will follow what is favtiously termed in Parliamentary slung the Massacre of the Innocents. Al l the lumber of incomplete attempts at legislation wal be swept as!de:as hopelessly cumbering the tables of the Lords and Commons. The QUEEN and Court, mean while, are preparing for their autumnal migration northwards to the Royal Castle of Balmora'. The Great World, as it sometimes oddly enough calls itself, meaning numerically, i n fact, the Little W or ld, the " beau monde," the cream of the cream, already is filled with porien!s of the annual flitting to country seats, to inland and seaside watering places, and to all the more frequented parts of the European continent. And quite as eagerly scattering themselves to all points of the compas3, the Middle Million, as it has been alliteratively termed, emulates in this the divergent movement of those vulgarly spoken of as the Upper Ten Thousand. The Academy and the rest of THE SUN, LONDON, MO DAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1869 the Picture Galleries are rapidly closing their exhibi tion. The Opera Company are announcing those Benefit Nights which presage the immediate termi nation of their brief but radiant season. London, with its upwards of three millions of inhabitants, having had withdrawn from the enormous aggregate of its population for awhole the one or two odd tens of thousands which are in excess of those same three millions, will be thereupon described absurdly enough as empty.w Passed the interval of leisure, passed holiday time for the worldat large, passed the long va cation; the Englishman's feastingtime of Christmas, and the Frenchman's feasting time of the four de 1 . an—with the commencement of the ensuing year of 1870, Parliament is already conscious that there will come looming up, inevitably, another and a more formid able problem for solution than the Irish Church Question, another, anda farlarger difficulty than that, which will be deemed yet more imperative, than ever di _1 that even now obsolete State institution, a speedy, a comprehensive, and somehow, whether by hook or by crook, a satisfactory settlement. The Irish Laud Question ! That is what the Lords and Commons are alike, even now, in American phraze, prospecting. Justice to Ireland is one among the foremost mottoes inscribed upon the banner or escutcheon of the present Government. The sincerity of the Ministerial determination to act up to the principle therein embodied has been, as we all now know perfectly well, very signally and very nobly justified by the historical act of reparation just in process of final accomplishment. Another act of a similar kind but of a yet more considerable character, is involved in the solution of the problem expressed by that Irish Laud Question, as a matter requiring very urgently indeed to be dealt with by the Imperial Legis lature. Many upon either side of St. George's Channel have thought, and it must be said not ex travagantly that it cught, perhaps, by rights, to have bad precedence of that other great difficulty, in the settlement of which the estates of the realm have been of late so long and so strenuously engaged. Having dealt at length with the Irish Church Question, having swept it out of view, at last, as a cruel and indefensible anomaly, the nation will no longer have any valid, or in any way recognizable plea for postponing the comprehensive consideration by the Legislature of the far larger question involved in that matter of the Irish land. What is more, every one understands quite clearly that the Government of the day, this Government presided over by Mr. GLADSTONE, is perfectly prepared to deal with that Irish Land Question so soon as the next session of Parliament, the session of 1870 shall have fairly commenced. One cf the principal Ministers of the Crown, for getting for the moment the reticence upon these de licate subjects expected from every individual member of a Cabinet, blurted out frankly the declaration that ho had a plan of his own, already cut and dried, in his pocket, and which he was prepared to submit to the conside ration of the House of Commons upon the first available opportunity. Whatever the scheme may be which the Ministers of the Crown, collectively, will deem it advisable to lay before Parliament as the one they will be prepared, in their capacity as an Admi nistration, to recommend seriously to the judgment and decision of the Imperial Legislature —a scheme of some kind in regard to the final settlement of the Land Question in Ireland, Govern ment will have to prepare, and, before next February will, for certain, have pre pared. Meanwhile, what have we not all escaped by means of the happy settlement in the sixtieth minute of the twelfth hour, of that other long-vexed question of the Irish Church ! We have escaped a stormy political-religious agitation throughout the country. We have escaped no end of extra-parlia mentary utterances. We have escaped an Adminis trative crisi3, a Parliamentary dead-lock, a collision between the Lords and Commons, and consequently, in plain words, a shock to the whole machinery of the Constitution. Instead of having to pass through anything of all this, we have suddenly, all of us, wakened up from the indulgence of the gloomiest foreboding to behold everything and everybody as it were suffused with the couleur de rose. Mr. GLADSTONE has found occasion to eulo gize the Lords, and to compliment the Opposition. Lord GRANVILLE and Lord CAIRNS, when seemingly at daggers drawn, have been suddenly recognized as very cordially fraternizing. The whole of this abrupt transformation of things has been accomplished with the speed, and the general effect of a coup de theatre. The recollection of all which, let us say, ought not only to be agreeable in the re.tra=pect, but—what is more practically to the purpose—ought to hearten us, as it certainly cannot fail to hearten us, in our poli tical anticipations. Solved, as this delicate and com plicated problem of the Irish Church has peen within these last five months, we have no reason whatever to despair of our beholding, a few months hence, that other great problem in regard to the Irish Land cleared out of the pathway of legislation by an equally happy effort at its solution. TITE history of Mr. GRENVILLE MURRAY is a play of so many acts, and of such rare complexity, that a sketch of his remarkable career may not be unacceptable now that he is in the zenith of his fame. Whether there is any exceptional moral to be drawn from his story is doubtful; and the moral must in any case be incomplete, for the story itself is yet unfinished. All that can be done at present is to arrange the facts so as to present this strange tale in a connected form. Mr. GRENVILLE MURRAY has attained great distinction only of late, but he has been a public character for several years past. Mr. MURRAY spent about ten years at Odessa, as British Consul-General for the Black Sea ports, and his doings in that capacity have been deemed so noteworthy that a whole Blue-book of nearly 300 pages is devoted to their narration. He was appointed in August 1858, and rose to distinction so rapidly as to be the subject of leading articles in the commercial papers by the beginning of the next year. The complaints against Mr. MURRAY'S administration as Consul-General were so numerous and loud that even slow-moving diplomacy was at length compelled to interfere. After a long cor respondence an inquiry into Mr. MURRAY'S case was ordered, and a special delegate was sent down by the Foreign Office. It turned out that the CONSUL-GENERAL'S conduct " had been marked by a habitual disregard of duty," and that he had " misused the powers entrusted to him by his commission." He had granted passports to persons who were not British subjects, without taking any pains to ascertain whether they owed allegiance to England or not. He had granted a certificate to sell landed property to the widow of an Englishman, such certificate being informal and useless. It was clear, from his own admission, that he had failed to levy fees legally due to the British Government, and had thus improperly diminished the receipts of the Exchequer. Far worse still, he was found guilty of such irregu larities in the solemnisation of marriages that it was doubtful whether some of them were not invalid and their issue illegitimate. An Act was passed in 1867 to remove all doubt on this point. There were other and serious charges brought against him, but these cases will suffice. Such flagrant breaches of duty could not be over looked. Mr. GRENVILLE MURRAY was dismissed by Lord STANLEY in May 1868. The ex-Consul-General protested against his removal, and carried on a long correspondence; but on the 13th of January Earl CLARENDON refused to hear anything further. On the 21st of January, just a week after the Foreign Secretary's final decision, the first number of the Queen's Illessenger appeared. It is needless to particularise the nature and contents of that paper. Suffice it to say that though it might have been out shone in foul and offensive abuse by some of the publications of DRYDEN'S time, it was superior in ribaldry to everything of the present day. Beyond its coarseness, there was . nothing re markable in the Queen's Messenger, except its inveterate hostility to the Foreign Office. It did not ; indeed, confine its favours to that one establishment; but Earl CLARENDON'S department was decidedly the leading object of assault. On June 10 the Messenger came out as the Plain Speaker—in all other respects the same—and the next week it became the Queen's Messenger again. This number contained a sketch portrait, entitled, "808 COACHINGTON, Lord JAR - VEY." There could be no doubt as to the obj ect at which this foul production was directed. It was not only a plain assault upon the present Lord CARINGTON, but upon his family in general; and his lordship was not slow to resent it. Having received information which convinced him that Mr. GRENVILLE MURRAY was responsible for whatever appeared in the Queen's Messenger, he sought and found the ex-Consul-General on the steps of the Conservative Club, and there caned him. Then came the scene in the Marlborough-street Police-court, and its issue the two trials. Lord CARINGTON was charged with assaulting Mr. GREN VILLE MURRAY, of which there could be no doubt whatever, equally little doubt that, though the pro vocation given was—presuming Lord CARINGTON to have been quite certain that Mr. MURRAY was answerable for the contents of the Queen's Mes senger—most grievous, yet the assault was unjusti fiable, and that Mr. MURRAY was entitled to the protection of the law. This matter might soon have been disposed of ; but, unfortunately for Mr. MURRAY'S public status, he brought a second charge against the peer of having provoked him to fight a duel. Whether his lordship did feel anxious for a more serious encounter with the ex-Consul- General it is not worth while to inquire. It is suffi cient to know that this second charge led to a dispute of evidence, and to that famous struggle which has afforded the British public such a rare and choice excitement. Lord CARINGTON'S solicitor declared that Mr. MURRAY'S statement touching the provoca tion to a duel was "untrue," and for the purpose of shewing that the complainant was unworthy of belief a long cross-examination was entered into. In the course of this Mr. MURRAY made certain admissions. His son was the registered proprietor of the Queen's Messenger; he himself had written in that paper, but he could not tell exactly which were his articles and which were not. All attempts to obtain his acknow ledgment to various specific articles failed. He wrote so many hands, he urged, that he could not tell which was his writing. The cross-examination failed in proving that Mr. MURRAY had written the abusive article on Lord °ARINGTON. Whether the tin box, which, it was said, contained the"copy" of Mr. MURRAY'S articles, will clear everything up, re- mains to be seen. It was the tin box which gave rise to the final fracas, for the Murrayites alleged that it had been stolen, and made a desperate effort to recover it. The affair at the police court, however, has not done anything to improve Mr. MURRAY'S public position, for the simple reason that he admits being the author of some articles in the Messenger, and as every article in that detestable print was discreditable, therefore Mr. MURRAY must have written, some discreditable produc- Nor can the anxious struggle for the possession of the tin box bear a very favourable in terpretation. The same comment must be passed upon one of the two trials which have arisen out of this police-court fracas. Lord CAR INGTON has been tried at the Middlesex Sessions for assault, and Mr. MURRAY is yet under inquiry on a charge of perjury in swearing, as he did, that he was not the author of the article on the peer and his family. Of this unfinished case there is nothing to be said at present. But of the assault charge it may be observed that Lord CARING TON made no attempt to deny the fact that he had assaulted Mr. MunnAy. The plea of " Not Guilty " was put in, not as a means of staving off judgment for an un doubted breach of the law on the part of his lordship, but in order that the full inquiry might reveal the full circumstances of the case. This policy has been successful to a certain extent, as it was at the police court. Mr. MURRAY was again rendered extremely uncomfortable. Passages in the Queen's Messenger were read, and he was asked if he were the author of them. He was asked whether he had " violated all common feeling of decency by attacking the dead and maligning the living, by trading in slander, and by sparing neither age nor sex," and he declined to deny that he had done these things. He may not have written the passages read, but his refusal to say that he had not will certainly receive its natural interpretation from the public. Better, surely, to have taken the thrashing and said nothing than to have stood in this position before the world. The perjury inquiry will probably sheer how far Mr. MURRAY'S extreme caution in declining to answer questions was justified by circumstances. Meanwhile there is, after all, a moral to this unfinished—but nearly finished—story. It serves to show that men of Lord °ARINGTON'S position cannot safely indulge in the gratification even of a rea sonable resentment ; and it chews that all attempts to revive, in this age, the foul slanders of a century and a half back, must recoil upon their originators. tons. THE INTERN A7IONAL UNIVERSITY BOA 7 RA CE. There is little of interest to communicate at present in regard to the Harvard crew, who still remain at the Star and Garter Hotel, Putney. To-day, however, they move into the White House, adjoining Simmons's boat-yard, which they have taken for six weeks. It is most conve niently situate, close to the river, with a nice garden run ning down to the towpath, and is surrounded by high walls, so that the men can enjoy the cool shade of the trees in the garden without being molested by prying eyes. They have not yet been out in either of their four oared boats, as they are not quite ready for use, having been French-polished and otherwise prepared for prac tice, but it is highly probable that they will be out this afternoon for the first time on English waters as a com plete crew. Hitherto they have merely paddled about two and two in pleasure boats placed at their disposal by the London Rowing Club, so as to acquire familiarity with the Metropolitan course. On Saturday afternoon several of them paid a visit to the Crystal Palace on the occasion of the Dramatic Fete, and were much gratified with what they saw, but especially with the fireworks, for the proper display of which the evening was very favourable. The names of the United States' oarsmen have already been given by us, but we may as well state that the crew row in the following order :-1, A. P. Loring, of Boston ; 2, G. Bass, of Chicago ; 3, S. W. Rice, of Roseburg, Oregon ; W. H. Simmons, of Concord, New Hampshire, stroke; Arthur Burnham, of Chicago, coxswain. The Oxford four will in all probability be made up of four out of the five following oarsmen :—A. C. Yarborough, Lincoln College; F. Willan, Exeter; J. C. Timid, Uni versity ; S. D. Darbishire, Balliol ; S. H. Woodhouse, University. The Harvard crow is composed of fine muscular men, two out of the number being especially grand specimens of muscular Christianity—their powerful build and broad square shoulders being something which oarsmen of this country are not accustomed to see. They are particularly anxious that it should be understoo.l they have not come to Et gland as an hternational crew proper, representing the American people, but merely as an University crew of on 3 nation to do battle with an University crew of another, and for this reason they have declined and will decline all other challenges not emanating from the Universities ; the race, therefore, ctnnot properly be called an Interna tional boat race, in the strict acceptation of the term, for the reason given. LUXURIANT AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR.---MRS. S. A. ALLEN'S WORLD'S HAIR RESTORED.

The most prominent feature in the financial world during the past week is the resumption of specie shipments from New York, which have been recommenced on a large scale. A few montbs ago we pointed out that there was a very largo balance of trace against the United States, which could only be settled by remittances of specie to this side, and although the balance has been temporarily settled by heavy remittances of bonds, the United States is still under very great obligations to Europe. We have before us an interesting calculation of the present indebtedness of the United States to Europe, which, after being reduced to gold values and English currency, may be summarised as follows : Nine Months ended March 31, 1869. Imports £60,719.000 Exports .E48,771,000 Excess of Imports £11,948,000 Including the month of April, the figures for which, however, are not official, there is an adverse balance against the United States of £15,202,000. In addition to this excess of imports over exports, there is a still more alarming feature in American finance, more alarming because of a more permanent nature.We refer to the large amount of interest annually payable on the bonds held in European hands, which may be estimated to amount to £13,000,000. Of course it is a difficult matter to arrive at any conclusion as to the extent of the European holdingof the bonds of the United States Government, but competent authorities place the present figure at $900,000,000 United States Bonds, yielding 55,000,000 gold dollars of annual interest ; in addition to which there are probably miscel laneous and State securities, yielding annually 10,000,000 gold dollars, thus making a total payment for interest of $05,000,000, or £13,000,000. So large a periodical drain as this must of necessity impoverish the country, and must tend to prevent that resucitation of the currency which has become a matter of necessity in the States. It must be borne in mind, in considering the above figures, that they include the whole shipments of cotton and corn made during the season referred to, and which, this year, have been disposed of at very satisfactory prices. The financial position of the United States is, therefore, not favourable, and it is very evident that, elated by the rapid absorption of their bonds on this side, they have been led into extravagance, which other wise they could not have been guilty of. Fortunately for the State, however, the course of events has been such as to modify the influence of this evil, Cotton has latterly tended upwards in price here, and the Americans had previously obtained a large supply of cotton goods at low prices, so that they have a great advantage on this point. Again, it is scarcely probable that the Bonds will be returned to New York while the security for their ultimate payment is so good. A 6 per cent, bond, on a Government of undoubted credit, obtained at about SO, is a security that will always find a ready sale, and there is little fear of the Five-Twenties being returned to America in any large numbers. The question here arises, whether it is not a misfortune for the Americans to have so much of their debt held abroad. The ultimate results will undoubtedly be a great loss to the States, as for the bonds held on this aide the Americans have not received more, on the average, than 75 per cent. on the par in gold. Therefore, for 1,000,000,000 dollars of bonds held here they have received about 750,000,000 dollars only, but, on redemption, they will have to pay the full nominal amount. On the other hand, the present use of this capital is a very great advantage to the United States, and, as a young and enterprising nation, the Americans can make it yield a far greater return than they have to pay for the use of it, but not sufficient, we apprehend, to cover the heavy loss that it must ultimately entail. With regard to the present balance of trade against the States, it may again be settled by fresh remittances of bonds, but such a settlement must necessarily be far from a permanent nature. In point of fact, the payment is alto gether postponed, the European creditors being disposed to receive interest—bearing " promises to pay "—in the meanwhile. We perceive some indications of a renewed demand for Five-Twenty Bonds, especiallyamong German speculators, and should this continue, the exchange will probably again recede. METROPOLITAN DRINKING FOUNTAINS. Earl Grosvenor presided over the annual meeting of the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and Cattle Trough Association, which was held on Saturday. The report stated that there are now under the society's care 120 fountains and 125 troughs, and that the amount required for the efficient maintenance of these was £1,200 a year. A donation of £lOO was announced from her Majesty, and one of equal amount from the Marquis of Westminster. In addition to the chairman, the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., and Mr. W. F. Cowper, M.P., were amongst the speakers. FRANCE—AUSTRIA—ITALY—ROME.—It is con fidently affirmed at Rome (says the Pall Mall Gazette) that a formal treaty is concluded between France, Austria, and Italy, by which France, in case of war, will be supported by Italy with a contingent of 50,000 men, while Italy will also occupy the province of Viterbo. On the other hand, it is stated, in official circles, that Prussia has promised the Pope 12,000 men, in the event of his abandonment by France. But, in spite of these statements, the authorities seem to be asssured of French support, as workmen are now engaged in de molishing the last of the barricades raised against the G aribaldians. DISTITEMINCE IN A CHURCH. A sermon was preached on Friday evening in St. Mar garet's Church, Liverpool, by Mr. Bennett, of Frome. The church was densely crowded. In the course of his sermon Mr. Bennett said that the Reformation was the beginning of mischief in the Church, whereupon a large number of the congregation loudly expressed their dissent ; and one person rose to his feet and exclaimed, " Out Protestant Churchmen !" This cry brought several other persons to their feet, and some of them left the church. A number of policemen were introduced to maintain order. The interruption lasted for some time; and, when order was restored, Mr. Bennett resumed his discourse. THE ZANZIBAR SLAVE TRADE.—A bill has been brought in by Mr. Stansfeld and Mr. Ayrton to regulate and extend the jurisdiction of her Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar in regard to vessels captured on suspicion of being engaged in the slave trade. It enacts that the Consul at Zanzibar shall be deemed to have had since the commencement of the Order in Council of August 9, 1866, such jurisdiction as ordinarily belongs to Vice-Admiralty Courts in her Majesty's possessions abroad in regard to vessels captured on suspicion of being engaged or equipped for the slave trade in the following cases :—First, where a Zanzibar vessel shall have been captured in pursuance of any treaty with the Sultan ; and, second, where the vessel captured shall not be entitled to claim the protection of the flag of any State or nation. THE NATIONAL PAPERS AND THE LAND QUESTION. —The Irish " National " journals mainly discuss the Church and land questions, the Irishman complaining that the Regimn Donum and Maynooth compensations do not come out of the Imperial purse ; the Nation repeating strongly its advice of the week before, that " local organisations "in favour of tenant-right and a complete land bill should be es t a bli s h ed without delay in order to get up "mass meetings" on the subject at a future time. The Irishman announces that on the Ist of August amnesty meetings will be held in Limerick, Bel- fast, Waterford, and Wexford. The Flag of Ireland, an offshoot of the Irishman, displays its animus in the following paragraph on New Zealand :—" Such is the happy state of the English settlement that rebellion smoulders, and is beyond the means of the colony to suppress.' We are highly delighted to hear it. The heroic natives, struggling manfully for their independence against robbers and plunderers much more savage than themselves, have our hearty sympathy and our most earnest prayers for their success. These successes are surely hopeful for other struggling nationalities." The Irishman thinks the " Government should hasten to die establish landlordism." THE WINNER OF THE QUEEN'S PRIZE 1866 AND 1869.—Some stories are told by a London correspondent of a Scotch contemporary of Angus Cameron, the winner of the Queen's Prize at Wimbledon this year and 1866. Here is a tale of 1866 :—" Many north-country reader/ will no doubt remember a very worthy man, named John Anderson, who was for many years a teetotal lecturer in connection with the Scottish Temperance League. Mr. Anderson has now established a Temperance Hotel in London, to which a good many sobez Scots resort, and among others Angus Cameron, before and after the WiniLledon Meeting. Ile had won for the first time the Queen's Prize, and had gone quietly away to bed in this hostelry, giving Anderson strict injunc Lions not to allow him to be molested. About eleven o'clock p.m. a `howling' swell driving a mail phwton came to the door, and imperiously demanded to see little Cameron.' He's gaen till's bed,' quoth Anderson. Never mind that,' replied the swell, 'call him down at once.' I canna tak' it upon mysel' to be sae rude to ony gentleman stoppin' in my Noose.' `Get out of the road, then, was the angry response of the man with the thousand year whiskers, 'and I'll go up and find him myself.' `Neel, weel, sir,' quietly quoth Anderson, `I canna stop ye if sc be ye 're determined ; but it's my duty tae warn ye that my Noose is full o' unco' Scotsmen that have heard sic stories o' the pliskies o' English robbers, that ilka ane is sleepin' wi a pistol aneath his head, and, if ye dinna happen on the richt bedroom, I wadna gie tippence fos your life." The swell recoiled from the prospect of revolver bullets fired by Scots in terror of robbers, and grumblingly took his departure, leaving Angus to his slumbers. A .NATURAL KING. A great man (says the Daily News) has just died in Paris—Pere l'Epingle. In Paris, far more than in Lon don, there are private persons who by force of character become in a manner public. They are known to every body ; anecdotes about them are current ; and there are constant references to them in the public prints. Pere l'Epingle was one of these—the king of the rag-pickers, who has just died, in orthodox phrase, much regretted. The rag-pickers are a band of individuals peculiar to the French metropolis, who appear at dusk with baskets on their backs, hook, stick, and lantern in hand, to see what paper, rags, bones, and unconsidered trifles may be picked up in the streets. They are a large body, strictly under the superintendence of the police, for even in this humble trade a license is necessary. On the breast of each rag picker may be observed a brass number, by which the police recognise that the wearer has been duly authorised. The rag and bone trade has always been known as pro fitable, and some rag-pickers rise to considerable wealth. When their king expired, therefore, this important sec tion of Parisian society were able to make an adequate demonstration of honour to his memory. No less than 1,200 of them turned out to follow the hearse of Pere l'Epingle. Whence the monarch came, however, and who he was, no one seems to know. Perhaps Marshal Canrobert, to whom he was secretary many years ago in Africa, may be able to tell. At least, Pere l'Epingle, when hard pressed, has been heard to give this clue to his antecedents. Under his bed was found a packet of papers with the inscription—" To be burnt after my death." Round his neck was a medallion enclos. ing a miniature portrait of Rachel. Often, when any of the inhabitants of his quarter, called the Isle of Monkeys, was in trouble, Pere l'Epingle would disappear for several hours, sometimes days, but he never came back without money wherewith to relieve the afflicted. This much for Pere l'Epingle's private life. His political life was exemplary. He was really king over his territory, and his subjects adored their monarch. He signed their treaties, settled their quarrels, and judged their delinquencies. lie congregated his people around him, and lodging in the same neighbourhood they afforded each other mutual protection. All thieves were immediately forced to leave—banished for life from the vicinity. Woe to them if they attempted to return. But the kingdom of Pere l'Epingle was far too honest for the frequent incursion of thieves. Besides being monarch Pere l'Epingle was also doctor. He manufactured his own medicines, which he gave to his people gratis. He also undertook the duties of Minister of Instruction. He kept a library, lent out books, taught children to read and write, all gratuitously. Finally, like a wise ruler, Pere l'Epingle, dying, chose a successor, whose name is Philippe le Rebouter—Philip the Bonesetter. AN UNREHEARSED SHAM FIGHT. A correspondent of the Daily Telegraph gives us the particulars of the manoeuvring against each other of two English armies, with no knowledge on either side of the intentions and whereabouts of the enemy. This kind of spectacle was for the first time seen in this country last week. It was the return of the flying column to Alder shot from Wimbledon that gave the opportunity. The idea is said to have first suggested itself to Sir Alfred Horsford, the general in command of the column. He proposed that on his last day's march from Chobham he should be met at some place or other, unknown to him, by a force from Aldershot, which should endeavour to bar his route, while he on his side made his arrangements so as if possible to avoid or outmanmuvre the opposing army. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge heartily approving the suggestion, the necessary arrangements were duly made, and the fight came off along the range of wooded and wild open upland, called the Fox Hills, that lie between the village of Pirbright and Aldershot. Sir A. Horsford marched at an early hour from Chobham, halting at Pirbright, where he massed his force, the nature of the ground enabling him to conceal it from the view of any enemy that might be in occupation of Fox Hills. Pickets were posted, and patrols and scouts sent out in search of the enemy, while waiting for the arrival of the train that was to bring hi Royal Highness to the scene of action, where he was to act the part of umpire. No sooner had the train that was supposed to convey his Royal highness passed the Brook wood station, distant about 300 yards from Pirbright, than Sir A. Horsford gave the order to advance on the road that leads from the village to Aldershot, along the base of the Fox Hills range. The distance between this road and the crest of the hills is about two miles at Pir• bright, but the roads and the hills gradually converg' until they meet in the immediate neighbourhood of the Aldershot camp. As Sir A. Horsford's column marched along this road the cavalry pickets and patrols of the enemy were to be seen on the heights and in the woods immediately in front ; but, a prominent bill on the enemy's extreme right bring apparently unoccupied. `Colonel Baker, commanding the cavalry, and Colonel Light, commanding the artillery, made a dash at it with the 10th Hussars and Horse Artillery, and took possess:on of the height in brilliant style, holding the position against the repeated efforts of the enemy to dislodge them, until Sir A. Horsford brought up his infantry in support, and thus secured a vantage ground which, in the opinion of his Royal High. ness, the umpire, gave Sir A. Horsford " the best of it," and justified his advancing and throwing forward his left. This was done ; and after some charges of cavalry on both sides, Sir A. Horsford's field battery, which bad moved along the road in rear of his line, having by this time also come into action on his left, the bugles sang truce, and the fight was ended. At its close the left of the flying column almost rested on the bridge of the canal which bounds the Aldershot camp on that side. His Royal Highness said that the flying column had the "best of it;" it is currently reported that the attack was not expected from the direction of Pirbright, but from that of Firmley, where a considerable force was posted, and consequently unable to take part in the action. The Telegraph corres pondent thinks such manoeuvres should be gone through more frequently. The Rev. Dr. Rowland Williams, the author of the article "Bunsen's Biblical Researches," in "Essays and Re views," advertises in the Record for a clergyman to take charge of the district of Bowerchalke, a portion of the large parish of Broadebalke, of which he is the vicar. " De sired," says Dr. Williams, "a good preacher, with muEical skill, and nothing od•l in doctrine. Rational or ritual eccen tricity objected to." HARVEST IN THE HOME COUNTIES._ The har vest in the counties of Middlesex, Surrey, Berks, arm? Bucks is following closely upon the heels of the hay. making. Several fields of oats have been cut in the neigh bourhood of Windsor and Staines. The wheat and barley also are very rapidly ripening, so that in a few days the jiarvest operations will be in full force, the prospect in general being good, the wheat never looking more pro• PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.—A return just issued skews that the public income for the year ending June 30 was £73,155,032 13s. 7d., of which the principal items were Customs, £22,486,000 ; Excise, £20,576,000 ; stamps, £9,332,000 ; and property tax, £8,838,000. The expenditure to the same date was £73,833,259 13s. 7d. The chief items were interest and management of the permanent and floating debt, ;,26,636,614; army, £14,495,400; navy, £10,873,135; Abyssinian expedition, £4,500,000; and miscellaneous :ivil service, £8,919,202. The excess of expenditure over Income in the year was £678,227. The balance in the 3xchequer was £4,716,584 10s. ld. A NEW USE FOR VELOCIPEDES.—The London Scotsman learns that velocipedes are to be provided at the public expense for the carriage of mails in some rural districts. Within the past few days the first machine of the kind officially introduced in Scotland has been supplied for the post between Cairnryan and Strati raer in Wigtownshire. The pattern adopted is the invention of a person at Alusselburgh, furnished it a moderate cost. It has three wheels, with he seat placed low in the centre, and the action is very ,asy. From the lowness of the seat, the risk of an over turn is very small, and while the position of the driver is comfortable, the lateral action of the feet gives great power without much fatigue. It is believed that the in troduction of velocipedes may supersede the use of mail gigs in many cases, the machine adopted being calculated to go at a speed of six miles an hour under favourable cir cumstances. -,- 1 , lOW TO MAKE PAPER TRANSPARENT. — Artists, architects, land-surveyors, and all who have occasion to make use of tracing-paper in their professional duties, will be glad to know that a new method has been promul gated by our clever neighboursacross the Channel for ren dering any paper capable of the transfer of a drawing in ordinary ink, pencil, or water-colours, and that even a stout drawing-paper can be made as transparent as the thin yellowish paper at present used for tracing purposes. The liquid used is benzine. If the paper be damped with pure and fresh-distilled ben zine, it at once assumes a transparency, and per mits of the tracing to be made, and of ink, or water colours, being used on its surface without any " running." The paper resumes its opacity as the benzine evaporates, and, if the drawing is not then completed, the requisite portion of the paper must be again damped with the benzine. The transparent calico, on which indestructible tracings can be made, was a most valuable invention, and this new discovery of the properties of benzine will prove or further service to many branches of the art profession, in allowing the use of a stiff paper where, foraierly, only slight tissue could be used.— Oace a Week. c' 4- IV M: 11,,A . )v__,_ , 7& -., , 0 T ail rt si,-___ei T A frt ~_, Icrt_y ~.. . 1 .a...:_--..7-174.7--...„ TIER MAJESTY.
