The unfairness of nals has done a good work. It has shown the such a comparison, to begin with, must be obvious at French people that, though the EsrpEnon's Govern a glance, if only in consideration of the fact that no o ne ment may be burdensome in some respects, it is infinitely can possibly tell, as yet, whether the nomination to the to be preferred to the anarchy which the success of post of Mr. AYRTON is good, bad, or indifferent. Lord the Retell and .Reforme doctrines would produce. It has brought the Government and its moderate ELCHO at once jumps to the conclusion that the selec opponents into better and more clearly defined rela tion is bad—bad almost to the extent of absurdity— tions; and it is in all respects likely that the fear of a bad irremediably andirredeemably. Why it necessarily common foe may induce the EMPEROR to make is so, or must be so, we are simply left to conjecture- those further just concessions which will secure him Lord ELCHO has said it. That is enough. His the undivided support of his order-loving subjects. opinion is that no one less suitable for the office than The events of the last few months add one more Mr. AYRTON could by possibility have been discovered. to the long list of proofs that liberty of the press Our hope is, of course, that this sinister comment can be injurious only to a Government which rules upon his selection may be utterly falsified by the by unjust repression. member for the Tower Hamlets. And we are en couraged in that hope by the remembrance that Lord Ilictio's extravagant depreciation of Mr. AYRTON is accompanied by an eulogium on Mr. LAYARD quite as extravagant, and which certainly says little for the clearness, the soundness, or the equilibrium of Lord ELciso's judgment. Oue who takes such a particu larly hazy view of the realities of the past, can scarcely be expected to see very clearly with the mind's eye by anticipation the mere possibilities of the future. An) one who can fail to recognise, as Lord ELCHO evidently fails to recognise, what is, nevertheless, a wholly indisputable and notorious fact, that Mr. LATARD'S eleven months' governance of the Public Works' Department, iu his capacity as Chief Com missioner, s% as one serried and matted mass of blun ders and fiascos, must, one would say, according to a familiar idiom, be certainly off his head—must have the balance of his judgment out of gear—must view matters more as a partizan than in any way dispas sionately. Before Lord ELCRO rushed forward thus impetuously to panegyrise the sElileship of Mr. LAYARD, we had, out of our vivid remembrance of the extraordinary blunders crowded into his few months' tenure of that office, commented in the strongest terms in our vocabulary upon the satisfac tory incident of Mr. LAYARD'S withdrawal from the Chief Commissionership. Now that Lord ELcsso, with his accustomed rashness, has vaunted the glories of Mr. LATARD'S blundering reign, has gratuitously assailed the appointment of Ur. AYRTON as his suc cessor, and has referred to Mr. CECIL RAIKES'S " unfounded and ungenerous party attack" on the late Chief Commissioner, we are gratified to see that the member for Chester has, with dignified but caustic force, retaliated upon his assailant. The charge preferred by Mr. RAIKES against Mr. LAYARD in his capacity as Chief Commissioner, was not denied, was not disproved —was simply condoned by the House of Commons, out of generous consideration for a distinguished public man who, out of his excessive love for art, had certainly acted very indiscreetly. Mr. LAYARD'S devotion to art was accepted by the House of Commons as the excuse for this irregularity. But," while this was so, as Mr. RAIKES observes, "these facts remain :—(1) That the contract in ques tion was made in a most irregular way, without the sanction of Parliament, without the authority of the Treasury, and in absolute departure from the recom mendations of the Commission in accordance with which the decoration cf the Palace of 'Westminster has hitherto been carried out, and (2) that the contract so irregularly made was with a company of which the Minister responsible for it had been an active promoter, and was un til very recently a shareholder." Those facts are undeniable, they are indisputable. They are in themselves Nlr. RAIKES' full and complete exone ration. They justify him in bringing the matter, exactly as it stands, under the consideration of the House of COMNIONS. Turning from 111 r. LAYARD, however, to Lord ELCHO, the member for Chester cannot help indulging in the luxury of a few rather poignant recriminations. "As for the party," writes Mr. RAIKES, " of which the noble lord [that is Lord ELctio] complains, it is, of course, difficult for any man to determine what would have been Lis precise course had he been placed in a wholly different posi tion. I can only hope—as I certainly believe—that I should have acted as I did if I had sat on the same side of the House as Mr. LAYARD." Adding, "It un questionably would have been my duty to do so, and I had consulted more than one Liberal friend on the subject without being in any way dissuaded from pro ceeding in the matter." Then comes the " unkindest cut of all"—the member for Chester observing quietly in conclusion—" It is, indeed, almost impossible, unless one has been drummed out of the ranks of both parties successively, to acquire that judicial impar tiality to which Lord ELCHO can advance such a peculiar claim; but it would, I think, be scarcely a good exchange, so far as public expenditure is con cerned, to abandon that free criticism which is the best excuse for party Government for the mutual admiration of gentlemen who have a taste for art like Lord ELCHO and Mr. LATARD." Reading which one can only add quantum sufficit. THE Legislature of the colony of Victoria has re solved to discontinue the annual vote in aid of reli gions worship. This announcement need not alarm those supporters of Church Establishments who are apprehensive that the spread of opinion against alliances between the State and religion will soon seriously affect the position of the Church in Eng land. The decision of the Victorian Parliament is not to be regarded as an example of the growth of Liberationist influence. It is altogether an excep tional case. For some fifteen years past the Aus tralian colony has carried into practice on a small scale the principle of " levelling upwards." £50,000 a year is voted towards the construction of edifices for public worship, and for the support of ministers of religion. This sum is equit ably divided amongst all denominations—according to their numerical strength. There is no State ovory creed meets with equal favour. But difficulties have arisen which forcibly illustrate the disadvantages of settling the Church and State controversy on the system of levelling-up. Whilst only the Christians shared the grant the discontent of those persons who objected to the " endowment of error" was weak and ineffective. But soon the Jews claimed and obtained their proportion of the money ; the rapid in crease of the Chinese population brought forward the question whether the immigrants from the Celestial land were not entitled to an endowment equally with the descendants of ABRAHAM ; and sooner or later, no doubt, the introduction of labourers from the Pacific Islands would have led to demands for the support of forms of worship even more obnoxious than the Chinese idols. The principle of equal endowment ended, in fact, in a clear reductio ad absurdum. The money granted by the State was, indeed, a safe and sure contribution in aid of religion, whereas other sources of support might fluctuate. But, on the other hand, the taxpayer could not but reflect that the money- he paid to the religious g,rant was employed as much to combat his own doctrines as to advance them. To make each sect pay for the religion of the others was found obnoxious under any circumstances. When Jews and Pagans claimed equal rights the system became intolerable. The Parliament has, therefore, passed a law abolish ing the grant; but in order that the various denominations may not feel the loss too seriously, the sum is to be reduced by £lO,OOO a year until it disappears. And so vanishes from Vic toria the slight union of Church and State which has existed since 1854. The story is a valuable illus tration. THE declaration of Lord CARNARVON points not obscurely to a forthcoming party battle on the policy of the Government towards New Zealand. The ex-Colonial Secretary expresses his regret that as Parliament is not sitting he cannot protest in form against the course adopted by the Ministry ; and he, therefore, selects the columns of the Times for a moderate but unflinching attack upon the policy indicated in Earl GRANVILLE ' S last despatch. It is important to note the issue upon which conflicting opinions are now joined. The general principle of insisting that the colonies should bear their own burdens and provide for their own wants is not now in question. The point is simply whether the Government is justified in applying that principle so A 9 to rofizcc aid to tlio colonists of New Zealand at this time of great danger. The Colonial Legislature lately asked for the use of a British regiment, now in New Zealand, offering to pay for its maintenance on terms previously suggested by the Home Government. Earl GR A N VIL LE declined to grant this request, urging that the colonists ought to make concessions to the natives, who had been unjustly treated, and that there would then be no difficulty in defending the white population from the attacks of the )laories. The Earl of CARNARVON does not dispute that this refusal is quite in accordance with the decision that the colonists should administer their own affairs—a decision which cannot now be recalled. He allows that there is much force in the arguments that it would be impossible to allow the local governments the control of British troops, and. equally impracticable to carry on a campaign under the divided direction of the Home Government and the New Zealand. Ministry. But the danger to the colony is so imminent, the need of aid so pressing, that all theoretical considerations ought to have been overlooked in the effort to ward off a catastrophe. The troops, Lord CARNARVON holds, might advant a g eousl y have been l eft under the circumstances. M it is now too late, he suggests that a loan should. be guaranteed, and the colony thus enabled. to provide ample means for its own defence. Such is the position. The project of a loan has previously been put forward, and the present Ministry has rejected it. Should they persevere in their refusal, a stout parliamentary con flict may ensue. The Ministry is right on general principles, and should no calamity happen in New Zealand all will be well. But if the massacre of which the colonists are in dread really takes place, the GLAnsToNE Government will have much to do to hold its own. LIE French Government has been trying for the last few months the experiment of a free press. Until very recently, it is scarcely needful to say, the course of true journalism in France by no means ran smooth. The most burdensome restraints were placed on the action of the press, and very severe penalties awaited the editor or publisher who overstepped the bounds. Those journalists who chose to praise the Govern ment were at liberty to write pretty much what they pleased. But those rancorous writers who did not regard a despotic regime as an unmixed good were compelled to express their hostility in the mildest of language, and to confine their strictures within the most harmless limits. Unfortunately it happened that only Opposition papers could be made to pay, and it was not less true that those journals which were most extreme brought the largest revenue to their proprietors. Between the frying pan of "popular disfavour and the fire of Imperial vengeance, the unhappy members of the Fourth Estate had a hard time of it. During the last winter and the spring a continuous series of press prosecutions was kept up ; sometimes a dozen journals at once proved obnoxious to the Government, and sometimes one journal was prose cuted for half a dozen different offences. Fines, imprisonment, and the suppression of their journals were the penalties which awaited erring writers and publishers. But for some time past these prosecu tions have been abandoned, and though no Imperial decree has gone forth, the press has been practically free. The result has been unfor tunate in one sense. The wildest ribaldry, the foulest abuse has been, and still is, poured forth by various Republican papers—notably the .Rappel, the Revell, and the Reforme. Open treason is advocated in the columns of these three journals. The mob of Paris is constantly invited to rise in insurrection. But though it is to be regretted that those inflammatory harangues are now distributed wholesale throughout the country, whereas they would formerly have been suppressed altogether, the effect of the now order of things has been good on the whole. It is an un doubted fact that the ultra violent writers and poli ticians are injuring nobody but themselves. Whilst' their effusions were burked by the Government, they were regarded as martyrs; now that their scurrility has not the excuse of oppression, their influence is declining. It is remarkable that the circulation of all the three papers just mentioned is on the wane. Nor is this the most important result of the newly - acciuired freedom of the press. The more reasonable journals, which formerly opposed the Empire uncon- COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) WAGGERIES OF THE VOTE-MARKET.—If the venal elec tors of Norwich, Bridgewater, or other borough or electoral district infamous for bribery, were asked what they had to say for themselves, they would perhaps have the impudence to plead loyalty, shewn in their attachment to the sove reign.

LAW INT COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. SMITH V. MYERS. This case was originally tried at Liverpool, and was an action for the non-fulfilment of a certain contract in which the jury gave in a verdict for the plaintiff for LOGO. The defendant's contract to deliver a cargo of 900 tons of nitrite of soda at the port of call by the ship Precursor, but there was a provision in the contract that if any circumstance or incident occurred to to prevent the shipment or the loss of the vesself then the contract should become void. The soda was purchased in Valparaiso, and was there in store when it was destroyed by the late earthquake in Peru, and then the 'mice of soda rose in the market. Another large quantity of soda was pur chased by the parties connected with the firm in Valparaiso, and finally shipped to England, but the contract with the plaintiff was not fulfilled on the ground that the soda re ferred to in the contract was not that on board ship, but that which was destroyed in Peru. At the date of the contract no soda was actually shipped, but it was ex pected to arrive. The court granted a rule to show cause why the ver dict should not be set aside. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SIMMONS V. KESIIAM. This was an action recently tried before Mr. Justice Brett, and was for libel, the jury ultimately giving a ver dict for £5OO. The plaintiff was a farmer under an engagement from the Duke of Portland, and defendant was a secretary of a body of gentlemen who had a right from the Duke of Portland to shoot over his land, the tenants being called upon to preserve the game. The defendant, acting on the information of one of the keepers, wrote a letter to the agent of the Duke of Port land, complaining that the plaintiff did not abide by the terms of his yearly agreement with respect to the game, but that he kept dogs which self hunted, and did other things opposed to the conditions on which he rented the land. The result of the communication was that the defendant had ultimately to quit the farm, and the los , , be contended, he had sustained was occasioned by the forced sale of his stock and the loss of the capital laid out on the land. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for £5OO, and this it was now sought to set aside on the ground that the communication was a pri vileged one, and that there was no malice. The court grante 1 a rule to show cause. TIIE CARDIFF ABDUCTION CASE. An application was made this morning in tne Queen's Bench, on Mr. Baron Channel's reservatien of leave in this case, to enter the verdict for the defendant. The rule was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Mis Day. THAMES. UTILITY OF NEWSPAPER REPORTS.—George Smith, de scribed as a commercial traveller, aged 28 years, was brought before Mr. Paget on remand, charged with con spiring with another to defraud tradesmen by means of the pencil tuck, as it was called by Briden, a police-ser geant and chief of the detective department of the K In the case more immediately before the magistrate the prisoner's confederate ordered of a shopkeeper in High street, Poplar, a large quantity of blacklead pencils of dif ferent degrees of hardnr , s3 and fineness, and soon after wards the prisoner made his appearance with pencils ex actly answering- the description of those ordered, and the unsuspecting shopkeeper bought them and paid 255. for the lot. The person who ordered the pencils never came into his shop. Briden said that since the publication of the first exa mination of the prisoner a fortnight ago before Mr. Wool rych the operations of the gang had been entirely stopped, and they had not obtained a single order; it was all over with them. Before the publication of the report the gang had cheated a great number of tradesmen. One person, in Lambeth, to the extent of .£l7 125., and another in Pentonville to the amount of £ll 16s. Goods had been foisted upon them not worth half the money, and they were not likely to see them again. Mr. Paget said he should again remand the prisoner until next Thursday. Bridon hoped that all persons who had been defrauded would attend next Thursday, or put themselves in com munication with him as early as possible. WESTMINSTER. DESERTION OF AN INFANT BY ITS MOTHER.—EIiza Peters, a respectable-looking woman, about 30 years of age, was charged with deserting her infant child in the street. Wm. Budding, 19, Laurence-street, Chelsea, said that at twenty minutes to 11 last night he was passing through Oakley-square, Chelsea, when he was attracted by cries, and found an infant lying on its back struggling on a door step. It had kicked off a shawl in which it appeared to have been wrapped, and was now perfectly uncovered. Tho brother of the prisoner, a very respectable trades man at Chelsea, said that site was a widow. She had brcu loft with three children by her husband, and had since unfortunately had an illegitimate child. She had been in scrv:ce and had struggled hard to maintain them. On Saturday she had to take them from where they had been in consequence of being unable to ray for them. Last night a cab drove to his door containing the two legitimate children, and ho took them in. Ile subsequently learnt that her infant had been found exposed, and on seeing her last night late taxed her with it. She was taken by the police to the station. Prisoner, with tears in her eyes, admitted the desertion, but said she bad, in a moment of despair, caused by her penury, put the child down. She had repented the act in a few minutes, and returned to take it up when she found it gone. She was remanded. PRESI, 7 NTA7ION 70 LIFEBOAT CREWS Yesterday an interesting scene took place on the pier at Broadstairs, when a sum of money, amounting to up wards of .£76, was presented to the Broadstairs lifeboat crew, the Ramsgate lifeboat crew, and the crew of the steam-tug Aid, who were instrumental in saving fourteen of the crow of the ship Frank Shaw, wrecked on the Goodwin during the terrible gale on the 19th ultimo. The duty of presentation was undertaken by the Rev. J. Gilmore, Rector of Holy Trinity, Ramsgate, and the author of "A Tale of the Lifeboat." The men as sembled in a room at the entrance of the small quaint pior of Broadstairs, close to the slipway, where the life boat Samuel Morrison Collins is stationed. Mr. Jarman, the coxswain of the Bradford, represented the Ramsgate iifeboat crow ; and Mr. Reading, the crew of the tug Aid. The gathering was presided over by Captain El_ gard and the Rev. J. T. Cooke ; and others were also present. The number of men among whom £76 bad to be divided was thirty-three, which represents £2 6s. sd. a man. The Rev. J. GILMORE, in addressing the men, compli mented them upon the courage they had displayed in going to the Goodwin Sands, in so terrible a sea, to save the lives of so many matiners that were in peril ; and he was sure the success which attended their efforts consti tuted their greatest reward. The money was given as a token of sympathy with them in their noble exertions to save the lives of their fellows. Ho bade them always " God speed !" on their errands of mercy ; and paid a special compliment to Captain Elgard, who, though a landsman, volunteered and acted as coxswain of the Broadstairs lifeboat in its last expedition to the Goodwin Sands. The interesthig proceedings concluded after the men had evinced their enthusiastic appreciation of the honoui which they had received. I.IIGI-1 71DE. Yesterday there was an unusually high tide, which about half-past one o'clock had risen to a height of three feet three inches above the Thames high-water mark, as shown by the index at St. Paul's Pior. All the way from Greenwich to London, along the banks of the Thames, great inconvenience was caused to the warehouses and wharves. The tide flowed to an extraordinary height in Ports mouth Harbour yesterday. In East street vehicles were up to the boxes of their wheels in the water, while in Broad street it reached nearly as high as the Old Blue Posts. The lower ',part of the Point was impassable for foot passengers and many of the tradespeople have stopped up the crevices in their doorways and cellar windows with Stanishaw clay. The wind at the time of tho height of the tide was about north-west, but it afterwards got into a more southerly direction. Yesterday Ramsgate was visited with an extraordi narily high tide. The water rose much higher than it has risen for a number of years. The water covered the landing stage, and made its way into the stores on the Military-road, and into the lower part of the Custom house. It rose within a foot of the summit of the Cross wall, and at 10.35 a.m. was dashed into the stonemasons yard 'and along the Esplanade. A portion of the Eas Cliff was NV ash e d down. A wonderful pennyworth of Fan has to-day 1)0(.11 published in the shape of the " Fun Abnanack."

The route marching, carried on at Woolwich 'luting winter, will be commenced this week. The whole of the available troops in garrison, consisting of the Royal llorse and Foot Artillery, Military Train, and the 94th Regiment, are paraded and marched, one day every week, for several miles into the country, subsequently taking up positions of attack and defence, and carrying out a variety of instructive lessons in modern warfare. No regular day is fixed for the marching out, owing to the un settled state of the weather at this time of the year 1 but Thursday is the day most generally chosen. DR. PUSSY AND STATE. The following letter from Dr. Pusey appears in the Guardian :—" I did not say (what from your leading article of last week you seem to have understood me to say) that Mr. Gladstone's success in carrying through the appointment of Dr. Temple would in itself and at once necessitate the separation of Church and State. But it is, I think, an earnest of a state of things which will make every one who loves his Saviour or the truth of God to long for that separation. If Mr. Gladstone, having the faith which he has, inflicts upon us a contributor to the "Essays and reviews" as a Bishop, what is to be expected hereafter? Precedents have not only offspring, but offspring of a more marked character than themselves. W hat nomination cannot be carried through hereafter under the cover of this precedent? I feel and have expressed keenly some of the losses which disestablishment would involve. But there is a worse evil than disestablishment —that disestablishment should come too late ; that the Church should not be disestablished until she had bishops unable to guide her in the new crisis of her life, and who would so direct her that she would be broken in pieces. And, therefore, as I said, I think that Churchmen must long to be freed, at any cost, from the iron hand of the State. I will add plainly, that while it is not our habit to be mixed up in political meetings or measures, I think it is cur duty to pay Mm in whose hands events are, to deliver us from this enthral ment." MESSRS. GOSCHEN AND CHILDERS AT THE MANSION HOUSE. A grand banquet was given on WeducKlay evening at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress to about 300 guests, consisting chiefly of mer chants, bankers, and traders of the City of London. The • company included the First Lord of the Admiralty (Mr. Childers), the President of the Poor-law Board (Mr. Goschen), the Governor of the Bank of England (Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P.), Mr. Arthur Kinnaird, M.P., Sir John Lubbock, General Sir John Pennefather, Mr. M'Michael, late Mayor of Philadelphia, Sir W. Russell, M.P., the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, &c. After the usual loyal toasts had been given, the Lord MAYOR proposed " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers." Mr. CHILDERS, in responding to the toast of the navy, said that there never was a time at which the navy was in a more satisfactory or a more efficient condition than at present. While he felt certain that the country would be anxious that those who were responsible for the state of the navy should husband its resources, yet he believed so long as they did their duty it would not grudge them that which they thought necessary for the defence of the country An efficient navy was the great insurance of this country. So long as the navy was strong, so long would it be able to keep the peace. The LORD MAYort proposed " The House of Commons." Mr. GOSCHEN, in responding, said it might be thought, look ing at the labours of its predecessors, that the House of Commons would every year have less to do, and that, as every year added Act after Act to the statute-book, the work of succeeding Parliaments might be lightened thereby, An eminent statesman who was now no more once said to him, alluding to the absence of domestic topics from a Queen's Speech, "You see as every Parliament has every year done so much there remains so much less to do." But that did not appear to have been the view taken during the last three or four years. It now seemed that the cata logue of work expected from Parliament increased in pro portion to the number of laws passed. There was a con tinued cry for increased legislation in almost every department of the State. They were now looking forward to a laborious session. They knew that much was expected of the present Parliament, and during the next session the Government intended to do a great deal. They intended—but he thought he would not say what they intended to do, He must recollect that he had a colleague sitting near him who would report at headquarters any indiscretion which he might commit. Therefore he should confine himself to saying that there was much work cut out for Parliament. He knew that however much might be done, it would be little in comparison with what was expected ; for legislation in this country was slow, and it was difficult to pass any great measures in one session. The interests concerned were so vast, and the number of people who felt themselves touched by our laws so great, that it was impossible to legislate with that speed which was expected by sanguine constituents. But there was one thing in which he felt confident, the House of Commons would not deceive those who had sent them where they were. There would be necessary, and he was sure the country would expect of the present Parliament, one quality above all, and that was courage—courage to resist intimidation—courage at the same time not to refuse to do that which was right from fear that you might be thought afraid. The House of Commons began with energy and with courage, and he was sure with devo tion to the public interest—he spoke for the House of Commons, and not for any party in it—which would entitle it to rank with any Parliament that had gone before ; and those who had sat in the House of Commons knew that, whether for good or for evil, it would write its character on the pages of our history with a heavy and determined hand. Mr. CHILDERS then proposed ," The health of the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR then gave " The Trade and Commerce of London," in connection with its banking interests, associating with the toast the name of Mr. Crawford, the Governor cf the Bank of England. Mr. R. W. CRAWFORD, M.P., said there was no toast that could have been proposed which came more nearly home to such a company as that. It was by trade and commerce that those who were there assembled "lived, moved, and had their being." The Bank of England administered an enormous trust with fidelity and success ; and he ventured to say that there were few persons present who would not admit that it had fulfilled its duties to the satisfaction of the community at large. He wished to say one word with regard to the depression under which the country was now labouring. There were those who believed that the country must look to the action of the Legislature for the relief of that distress ; but ho did not entertain that opinion. The Legislature had freed every man from the incumbrance which for merly existed, and left him at liberty to pursue his enterprises in accordance with what he con sidered best for himself. They had only to look at what was passing in another country to see what was at the root of the depression of commerce at this moment. There was a time when England was pre-eminent over all countries in consequence of its insular position ; but, owing to the extension of railway and telegra phic communication, and other causes of the same Lind, she had now to engage in compe tition with the other countries of Europe, and it was from that competition that she was now suffer ing. It was not, however, to the action of the Legis lature, and still less to any action on the part of that institution over which he presided, but to their own intel ligence and energy, and the use of the means within their own reach, that the people must look to be enabled to compete with the other nations of the earth. At a tenant-right meeting held at Scotstown, in Mcnaghan, a resolution has been passed declaring the Ulster tenant right a myth and a delusion. SUICIDE OF A Boy.—The coroner has received information that one of the boys on board the training ship Warspite, off Charlton, has committed suicide by hanging himself in a fit of temper. The lad, who was named George Dodson, aged 15, was admitted by the Marine Society on the 18th ult., and on Wednesday was 'laced in solitary confinement for misconduct, and half an hour afterwards was found hanging by his comforter, quite dead. On the discovery b ing made, there were some signs of insubordination amongst the other boys, and Captain Phipps, the commander, went on shore for the assistance of the police, and order was restored. A. BAlt STORY.—There is a good story, never before published, which was told to the writer by one of the most eminent of living judges. Mr. Brougham (after wards Lord Brougham) was junior with Mr. —, a leading counsel of the day in a cause celebrc that nearly concerned the Royal Family. The leader, oppressed with the respon sibility of his charge, and weary with his exertions, had been addressing the court in close argument for several hours, when it was a_ parent to every one that his mind had suddenly ceased to act in unison with his speech. Mr. became flurried, stammered, and began to plunge. Brougham saw what had happened, and instantly rose, interrupted his chief, and addres sed the court. Wearing upon his face an expression of great suffering, he assured at ng to their lordsliii7s of hi ) dee p trouble them at su ch a time « r a regret matter havi personal to himself. lie did it most unwiklingly, but he w: s i 9 t ) 1, forgive ugi 1 , 1 if s right they giit e on en a rb l y y knew reason s o t r e e f t a h t .. h e o en ikilling' draught that rushed through " that doc 4 leading into th e Common Pleas." He was nearly mad with earache. What he should do if the nuisance continued he could not tell. Might he, in the interest of his clients, entreat the interposition of the Bench ? The Bench con- doled with Mr. Brougham on his suffering, and at once orderedmeasures to be taken to stop the draught, "That door leading i n to the other court" was shut, but still the draught came ; windows were examined and rand-bags were placed against the openings in them, till the nuisance was abated—till a good quarter of an hour had been consumed, and Mr. Brougham's leader had had time to recover himself. It is, perhaps, needless to add that the intelligent junior "had not an ache or rain in all leis great bodi."=,FroPiSMerLKVginf for 11 0 mkt. 7 , r CA - ttrtsbio. Colt„ *Mark HER MAJESTY.
