" The O'Suulvax Disability Bill" is the title of the measure suddenly prepared, and yesterday submitted to the House of Commons, with a view to the removal of that functionary forth with from the magisterial position he has so recently, so very flagrantly, and so very disloyally bro ug h t i nto disrepute. As to the offencc thus summarily to punished, there is no doubt whatever about it. As Mr. GATHORNE HARDY remarked yesterday " the facts are known"—they are simply noto rious. According to Mr. DISRAELI tile Bill is framed upon an ex parte statement—the Legislature is asked to act upon the ipse dixit of an Irish Attorney-General. Putting it thus pointedly, almost personally, against that responible law officer of the Crown, cannot of course be very agree able to him—cannot, indeed, but be wounding to the amour-propre of that right hon. gentleman. Refer ring to the sneering allusion thus made to the Irish Attorney-General, Mr. GLADSTONE could not refrain from exclaiming, " Sir, I have rarely heard a personal taunt delivered in this House that was more entirely out of place." The Prime Minister adding, thereupon —" The office of Attorney-General for Ireland is a high and distin guished office, The Attorney-General for Ireland is THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 6, F 69. the person in whom the Constitution of the country vests the duty of both acting himself and advising the Government of the QUEEN to act in cases of offences against the State. The holder of such an office, by virt%ie of his office, does not deserve to be treated wit contempt; and, Sir, if the holder of such an ofT,ce, by virtue: of his office, does not de serve toe e treated with contempt, I say here, in the pence of this House, that the present holder of this office has sustained its dignity and its credit in a way that still less perhaps than any of its predeces sors—worthy as they have been, and I don't question that —leaves him open to sneer or sar casm on grounds such as those alleged by the right hon. gentleman." Waving that point, how ever, as a matter personal to the particular func tionary thus invidiously referred to, and not in any way seriously affecting the legislative question actu ally in dispute, we cannot help saying that Mr. BERESFORD HOPE, more pointedly perhaps than any one else who took part in the discussion yesterday in the House of Commons, uttered the sentiments of its members, when be said—" What they desired to do was to strengthen the hands of the natural pro tectors cf order—the Executive Government. And they were glad to hear the ipse dixit of an Irish At torney-General raised in favour of order and against sedition. They looked upon the chief law officer of the Crown as the right authority for invok ing the sense of Parliament in a matter like this.'' Precisely. That is really, and seriously, and delibe rately the view taken by the House upon the matter now before it in regard to the late monstrous proceed ings of the Mayor of Cork —very soon, now, happily, to be Mayor of Cork no longer. It is all very well to talk of the Bill being introduced to the House upon the ipse dixit of an Irish Attorney-General, upon a mere ex parte statement, in a manner unprecedented, in a manner almost unconstitutional. If allusion is made through phrases like those to the absence—at the very first stage of the Bill, at the first moment of introducing it—of anything like evidence upon oath, the time for the production of that evidence will have arrived, in the ordinary course, at the date of the motion for the second reading. Granted that it all, in a manner, emanates from the ipse dixit of the Attorney-General for Ireland. Why, in the natural course of things, it does so. He is the responsible law officer of the Crown in this matter, and he therefore, in the name of the Government, is the one to assume the responsibility. But, in what way does he adven ture upon this course? Does he do so unconstitu tionally ? Hardly can that be said, after his dis tinctly saying, as he did at the end of the discussion yes_ terday in the House of Commons, " I hold in my hand at this moment a resolution which I intend to move if leave be given to bring in the bill, and a copy of that resolution is to be served on the Mayor of Cork, apprising him that leave was given to bring in the bill, that a copy of the bill is furnished to him, that it is to be read a second time on Tuesday, and that he is at liberty to appear at the bar of the House and to be heard by counsel." Where, after that, is there any plea whatever for charging the Attorney- General for Irel Ind with having asked the House of Commons to act upon his own mere ipse dixit ? Where is there any shadow of excuse for asserting that, in the name of her MAJESTY'§ Government, he is asking the Legislature to deal with the case of the Mayor of Cork in any way unconstitutionally ? THE discussions on the details of the Irish Church Bill are such dull work that we suppose we must not grudge the House of Commons a little amusement. Yet it was unfortunate that when Mr. GLADSTONE, in his earnest endeavour to carry his great measure through the House in good time, resorted to the unprecedented expedient of a morning sitting during the first week of May, the very first of such sittings should have been rendered useless by the tedious, though farcical, quarrel between the rival champions of Protestantism. That Mr. WHA L LEY and Mr. NEWDEGATE, Arcades anibo, should fall out might be extremely amus ing as an interlude, but that their dispute should occupy a large portion of a sitting intended for serious business, is beyond a joke. At this rate it will be impossible to get the measure through com mittee before the Whitsun holidays ; and as these are to be of a fortnight's duration, in obedience to the wish of the House of Commons, it is manifest that the month of June will have well advanced before the chief measure of the session is before the Lords. They will have a great deal to say to it, even if they should think it prudent to do very little with it. So we must not expect to be delivered from the necessary but dreary talk about permanent curates, glebes, and curtilages until the "raging Dog star" ap pears to aggravate and intensify whatever symptoms of insanity may have been induced by incessant repeti tion of the words "Irish Church." Perhaps we have been ungrateful to the members for Peterborough and North Warwickshire in not acknowledging more heartily their efforts to relieve us from the fate we fear by their diverting comedy. It really was very funny. It appears that when that highly successful banker, the late Mr. SPOONER, found it necessary to resign his leadership in the anti-Maynooth campaign there was a con ference among his fellow monomaniacs as to who should succeed him. We might have expected the choice to fall upon Mr. NEWDEGATE, who is not only a gentleman (which Mr. WHALLEY also is), but has secured the respect and, to a certain extent, the admi ration of the House of Commons, which Mr. WHALLEY certainly has not. However, the second was chosen, and the first was prepared to follow him loyally. He soon found that he could not do this. In a very short time Mr. WHALLEY, by his over-zeal, by his lugging forward the subject on every unsea sonable and irrelevant occasion, brought it into such disrepute that it was impossible to obtain a hearing for it. Mr. NEWDEGATE was prepared to do as Mr. IPOONER had done, and have a Maynooth field-night once a year. But Mr.WHALLEY wanted to have one every week. lie could_ not discuss a railway bill, or foreign politics, or the Budget, without introducing his favourite topic. The consequence was that the House very speedily began to treat him as a lunatic, and the Maynooth Grant as the delusion by which he was affected. It was then that Mr. NEWDEGATE warned his leader that he was rendering both himself and his cause ridiculous. Mr. WHALLEY resisted the advice of this too candid friend, resented his tone of superiority, and went on as before. There was a severer rebuke in store for him. He was next accused of being a Jes Lit in dis guise, and as it is not very easy to disprove this accusation, it still remains unanswered, and, no doubt, credited by a large number of Protestants. The end of it was that Mr. NEWDEGATE gave up Maynooth avowal into n : o d. that hopeless Vp thee hia‘da'altogether, an d at last he and h i s ex-co ll eague d e t a il e d to a Hou se s h a k en b y tumultuous laughter t h e hi s t ory oftheir feud. e . sy nr disrepute. op o ut w ht e f r It question N r E e w m n ha n 7 s : A on El beenl 'ys broughtown for Mr. Gr ADSTONE to get r id o f it a lt oge th er by "windin g up " Maynooth College simultaneously with the I r i s h Ch urch. That done, we shall have heard the l as t o f a name which has been famous for l eie ss m a quarter of a century, but which will, in the course of another generation, be as little remembered as is now the once celebrated Braintree. WE do not share the apprehensions of some of our contemporaries with regard to the Alabama question. It is undoubtedly unpleasant that, just as we thought this matter had been amicably settled—just as we were beginning to ask if we had not rather compro mised our dignity by the eagerness which we had shewn to arrange this dispute—the agreement which we had forced ourselves rather reluctantly to accept should be torn up and the fragments thrown in our faces; - It is still more unpleasant that ona.of he leading American statesmen should make a speech in which he declared that we ought to make compen sation so extravagant that if we were to entertain it for a single day we should abdicate our position as a first-class Power, and expose ourselves to the ridicule and the contempt of the world. The sup position that we are responsible for the American War, and ought to defray the cost of it, or any part of it, is so monstrous that we cannot believe Mr. SUMNER represents any large or influential section of his countrymen. However that may be, we need not trouble ourselves about the matter. The Americans have chosen to refuse a friendly settlement in which we have gone to the extremest limit of concession. We can do nothing more. We must wait until they return to a better state of mind, when they will doubtless make some proposition which we shall be able to consider. In the meantime we do not consider that there is any serious cause for alarm. No one supposes that the United States have any intention of declaring war against us. A person in the sulks goes into the corner, but does not fight. The relations between England and the States are far too close for any chronic quarrel like this to lead to a rupture. When men are thoroughly angry, when their blood is up, then—though they be the nearest of kindred—they will come to blows, regardless of consequences. War was possible in 1862, it was possible again in 1865, it is all but impossible in 1869. Every year that removes us from the original cause of the quarrel, the recognition of the Confederate States as a belli gerent Power, diminishes the chances that it will lead to any serious difference. If our relations stood the stress put upon them before, they are not going to break now. Wars eight years after date are scarcely conceivable in these rapid days, when ambassadors are withdrawn, hostilities acularM, n r al, ri d a treaty of peace is signed in the course of a few weeks. Of course, the evil results of the present quarrel are not limited to war between the two countries directly concerned. So long as the Alabama question is left unsettled, so long are we, if we go to war with the KING of DAHOMEY, or the DUKE of MoNAco, exposed to attacks upon our com merce by Alabamas fitted out in New York. But it must be remembered that two can play at this game, and that of us two—the United States and ourselves—the first is considerably the more likely to be at war with some third Power than we are. When a country casts longing eyes on Mexico in the south and on Cuba in the east, and strains inter national law to the uttermost in expeditions of sympathy with a rebellion which has no existence, it is for that country rather than for us to consider if it would not be well to get the Alabama question I settled once and for all. LATEST INTELL MENU (R EU'^ER'S TELEGRAMS.) ITALY. FLORENCE, May 6. The semi-official Correspondence Italienne of to day denies that a special mission to the French and Italian Courts has been confided by the Spanish Government to Senor Montemar, relative to a candidature of the Duke of Aosta to the Throne of Spain. The same paper adds that the Duke is not be lieved to have any ambition in that direction. SPAIN. MADRID, April 5. A Carlist conspiracy has been discovered at Barcelona, which has led to 36 persons being ar rested. Several superior and commissioned officer; both on active service and on half-pay, are among the prisoners. Implicating documents have also been seized. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. WEDNESDAY. May 5. M. de Forcade la Roquette has greatly disappointed the public. We were all looking forward to a circular, which was to be a sort of electoral manifesto, announcing that the Government would take a moderato and liberal course during the coming struggle. Instead of this, we are favoured with nothing more attractive than a long and minute disquisition on the duties of the prefects to whom it is addressed. M. de Forcade la Roquette's circular is full of electoral instructions of no importance, but it contains none of the recommendations, fondly anticipated, by which the pressure of the Administration was to be held within much more restricted limits than on former occasions ; by which, in fact, the system of official candidates was to be at least greatly modified. Instead of the much-needed stipulations that the country elector may give his vote as he pleases, without incurring the vengeance of the autho rities; we find nothing but a general direction to the prefects to everywhere " ensure the free manifestation of public opinion." The circular, in short, is a purely administrative, and in no respect an official, one. It is just possible that a second manifesto may be in existence ; indeed it is thought in some quarters that a document announcing the long-expected reforms in the conduct of the elections was read and approved at the Council of Ministers held last Saturday. But perhaps it is of no great consequence whether such a manifesto is to be issued or not. It is quite possible for the Government to promise all sorts of reforms, and nullify them in practice. This paltering with us in a double sense is by no means uncommon under the rule of the astute Rouher. He has a genius for keeping the word of promise to the ear and breaking it to the hope, as witness poor Emile 011ivier and " Le 19 Janvier." If the corning elections produce any close runs—and I hear some lively anticipations—that at Marseilles ought to be one of the closest. M. de Lesseps is one of the most formidable Imperialists in the field. He is hardly to be called an official candidate of fk aenii;n.- time : he is moderate, and at the same time his Suez achievement commands universal admiration, and will ensure him large support in com mercial circles. On the Liberal side is M. 'Tiers, whom everybody knows, and M. Gambetta, "the coming man " of France. This young Republican is a native of Genoa, the son of a worthy hosier. The father destined the son to be a hosier too, but he hadsense enough to perceive the nascent genius of the lad, and he sent him to Montfancon, and afterwards to the Imperial Lyceum of Cahors. In 1856 he took his degree, and after a short sojourn at Genoa, started for Paris, where he was called to the bar in January 1857. He became the sternest of students. For three years he breakfasted off a halfpenny roll, dined at five o'clock on tenpence, and supped on another half penny. He was a total abstainer. In 1859, young as he was, his articles were being published in the Opinion Nationale. In 1860 he passed his these on mortgage, and entered as a clerk under M. de Jony. A few months later be took the oaths, and his maiden speech as a barris ter was made on August 25, 1861. He carried his cause, and his first victory was followed by many others. In 1862 he was selected with Jules Favre, Picard, and Emile 011ivier, as counsel for the fifty-four individuals implicated in the secret society accusation. He is a marvellously-eloquent orator ; it is doubtful, indeed, even at this early period of his career, whether any speaker in France can surpass him. The battle at Marseilles between such competitors as I have mentioned ought to be the most exciting in the country. A. madcap feat has been performed at Bordeaux. The inhabitants of that city were amazed the other morn ing to find floating from the summit of the spire of St. Michel a coloured flag, said to be a piece of a curtain, on which was drawn a heart pierced by an arrow, and underneath were the words, "Libertd, Paix." The spire is about 375 ft. in height and extremely difficult of ascent. What interest or fantasy could have induced any man to perform such a feat at night puzzles every one. Two workmen have been employed to get down the banner. The Nord announces that, by permission of the Russian Government, Schamyl, the famous Circassian hero, is about to make a pilgrimage to Mecca. A " family fate " is given this evening at the Tuileries, to celebrate the anniversary of the Empress's birthday, lier Majesty is advancing far in the unwelcome region of middle age. She has completed her 42nd year. Judging by a communication from the Minister of Finance to the heads of his department, it would seem that the Government meant to apply administrative pressure as tightly as ever on the 23rd and 24th. M. Magne tells his subordinates that they must give the Government the assistance which it has a right to expect; in fine, that they are to hand themselves over to the prefects, and follow their directions. They must likewise persuade their assistants to vote for the proper men, that is, the official men. This does not look like reform. THE COMIC PAPERS. From the Owl.

THAT'S THE QUESTION.—In the recent race for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, at Newmarket, Prince Imperial was ridden by French. Will the French ever be ridden by the Prince Imperial. On Tuesday intelligence was received in Liverpool from Wexford that the barque Emma, which left the Mersey for Bahia on the 28th ult., had been diiven ashore on the Wexford coast. Captain Wreckmeaster and the crew aro reported to have been saved, but it was expected that the vessel would become a total wreck, as the weather was very stormy. So strong a gale raged off Douglas on fueulay that his Royal Highness Prince Arthur was unable to land in the bay, and consequently the disembarkation had to bo made at Port Erin breakwater. Here, however, a large number of spectators Lad assembled, and the Prince was graded with a most enthusiastic reception, His Royal Highness proceeded immediately to Castictown, and thence to Douglas, where a grand ball wa.3 given last niu - ht. The town was also Under the heading "Another RobLery of Arms at Cork," the following telegram is published, dated Cork, May : —At midnight the goods store of Mr. Connelly, for warding agent, was entered by seven men, who kept the people in charge of the concern in custody while they searched through the property in store, selecting two boxes belong ing to Captain Macquay, , which were left for convey ance to Carlisle Fort. They broke open ono containing military uniforms, from which they made selections, ard carried off the other box without opening, in which wore arms. The constalmlary were quickly in pursuit, but PO wad . THE SALISBURY ELECTION PETITION. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Wednesday, the case of "Ryder v. Hamilton" came before the court as a special case. At the last election for New Saturn the petitioner, the respondent, and Mr. G. A. Lush were candidates, and the numbers were at the close of the poll—For Mr. Lush, 748 ; for the respondent, 679 ; and for the appellant, 623. The appellant subsequently presented apetition against the return of the respondent, and claimed the seat. By a local Act of the 11th Geo. IV. the custom was for the owners of tenements under the annual rating of £lO to compound for the rates, the owners, and not the occupiers being rated. The question submitted to the court was, whether the compound occupiers were entitled to vote. If they were so entitled, the court was to certify that the respondent was duly elected ; but if not, then the court was to certify that the appellant was elected, and ought to have been returned as member. Mr. Mellish, Q.C., appeased for the respondent, and submitted that the register of voters was clearly intended by the statute to be conclusive upon such questions as that of rating. The Lord Chief Justice said he was clearly of opinion that the VS Section of the Registration Act, 1843, was incorporated with the representation of the People Act, 1867, and that the case must be governed by the construction to be put upon the 98th Section. Rating was a part of the qualifi cation, and the questions in reference to it were to be finally disposed of by the revising barrister. Judgment for the respondent, with costs. FRANCE.

THAMES. MURDEROUS ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—Gocrgo Hoff man, who has become notorious for his attacks on the police and others, was brought before Mr. Benson, on re mand, charged with violently assaulting and wounding George Checkley, a police-constable, No. 216 11. It appeared that the prisoner and another man were fighting, at the Western end of the Commercial-road, and the policeman separated them, and requested both to leave and go home. One man did so. The prisoner resented the constable's interference, and one of his Lrutal com panions, knowing his cowardly and murderous-like pro pensities said " Give the - one, George, he is all alone." The prisoner too earnestly followed this advice, and hit the policeman, who fell. Checkley was soon up again, and collared Hoffman, who knocked him down again. B‘ th fell, and a fierce struggle took place on the ground. They both got up again, and the prisoner kicked Checkley on the legs until he disabled him. The constable again fell, and while he was on the ground one of the prisoner's savage confede rates actually jumped upon him. Another equally mur d!rous in his designs endeavoured to drive a horse and cart stopping in the road over the senseless form of the constable, and was only prevented doing so by Mr. Alfred Jacobs, a tailor and outfitter in the road, who saw the whole occurrence, and but for whose interference, assisted by Mr. Walter Hayward, a traveller, the constable would have been murdered. Mr. Hayward added that while the constable was lying senseless on the ground the prisoner beat Checkley's head against the stones. A large force of police succeeded in arresting the prisoner and conveying him to the station-house. The prisoner said ho would reserve his defence. 211 r. Benson committed him for trial. WESTMINSTER. HORRIBLE CRUELTY TO A CHILD.—Jane Faithful was charged with assaulting her little step-daughter, Ellen, six years of age. _ Mr. Motum, secretary of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children, prosecuted, and Mr. W. D. Smyth, solicitor, of Rochester-row, defenaed. The defendant was tefore Mr. Mansfield at this court ff:x weeks ago, and it appeared that for a length of time the child had been beaten and ill-used, and so ill and badly fed that at so early an age it was suffering from what is termed mesenteric disease, similar to diabetes in the grown up subject. It was taken care of by the Marquis 'Townsend, and is improving in health. Mr. Mansfield commented in the strongest terms on the horrible cruelty that had boon subsequently practised on the poor infant, but as the defendant's solicitor stated her to be in the last stage's of consumption and her appearance fully bore that out, the case was adjourned in order that the police might report on the defendant's conduct. _ _ The child has since been in the custody of the Marquis and progresses favourably. Defendant's health was reported to be worse. Mr. Arnold ordered her to find £2O bail for her good behaviour for 12 mouths. The surety was forthcoming and defendant was re leased. The child was again taken back to the 'Marquis's home Oakley-street, Chelsea. 4I?KE7 S-7 Ills D. 4 Y• LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. May G.—Sales probably 8,000 bales.

The festival of the Royal Literary Fund was well attended this year. In the chair was Lord Stanley. There were present his Highness the Nawab Nazim of Bengal, the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, Viscount Royston, M.P., Lord Lawrence, Lord Col chester, Hon. Wilbraham Egerton, M.P., Lord Justice Giffard, Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Malins, Sir John Simeon, Bart., M.P., Field-Marshal Sir John Burgoyne, Bart., Messrs. B. Hope, M.P., Neville Grenville, M.P., Ward Jackson, M.P., Chandos W. Hoskyns, M.P., M'Clean, M.P., Eastwick, M.P., Scourfield, M.P., 1, wt. Tv lva M.P., Thomas Baring, M.P., C. L. Gruneisen, Arturo de Mae,ou. A,,thony Trollope, and A. Grote. Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON was called upon to return thanks for the diplomatic body. He said that before he came to that room he had to some extent anticipated that his reception might have been affected by circumstances of recent occurrence; but he was glad to find that the kindness with which he had been received ever since he had been in this country had not abated. It would perhaps be improper in him to refer to circumstances connected with a particular subject ; it was sufficient for him to say that he hoped there was nothing in that subject to make any one believe that the peace be tween the two countries would be in any way disturbed. Whatever one man might say--whether that personage had or had not succeeded in rejecting the convention which was intended to settle all disputes between the two countries, and which had been entered into between the noble lord on his right and himself—was immaterial, and he begged the company to believe that the person to whom he alluded did not speak the sentiments—the real, honest, patriotic sentiments—of his country. He did not propose to make any reference of a political nature, but he would say that there was one thing in which literary men as well as all others were concerned, and that was the preservation of the peace now existing between England and America— a peace which could never be disturbed without disturbing also literary as well as other associations. He was an old man, and he had always lived at the base of the mountain, never having yet ascended to its summit, and while at the base, and before he came over here, he could not see that America had so many claims against England as had since been discovered by those who had climbed to the summit of the mountain. There was one thing which pleased him, and he would mention it now, on the eve of his departure. When at home be had occasionally had to pay taxes, but he was glad to know that they would be very much reduced soon, because England was sure to pay at least one-half of the American debt. No one would doubt that what it was the right of America to ask of England, England would be eure to respond to. The noble CHAIRMAN then proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Literary Fund." In the course of an eloquent speech he said he bad looked into the records of the society, and felt that nothing new could be said in appealing for funds. It was an institu tion the claims of which were known to everyone; the history of which, dating back as it did to nearly a century, was thick with proofs of its utility; and the field of which was of the widest and most universal character. From his own investigations into past reports he was surprised to find how many men eminent in mechanics, science, and art, had been relieved by means of the society. There were at least sixty men who would be considered eminent in the sense that they were well known to the public in con nection with the professions which were so largely repre sented at this anniversary, vho had been assisted by the fund. A great many others who, unknown to the world (for it was a distinctive feature of the society not to publish the names of persons aided by it), had experienced the benefits of the fund were not men of so great eminence, but they bad distinguished themselves by efficiency in their respective vocations; and it was an immense ad van tage that persons of this description, whose remuneration, especially if they were connected with science, was precarious and inadequate, should he able to obtain, without loss of self respect, temporary help in their hour of need. Another remarkable thing which had struck him was, that, as a rule, the recipients of the Royal Literary Fund bounty were not rendered unfit for future work by their passing misfortunes, for many afterwards attained positions, not merely of comfort, but marked prosperity. He hoped that those who, from adverse circumstances, were thus thrown upon the fund, would not, when they no further needed it, forget the claims which the society had upon their memory. The report having been read by Mr. George Godwin, the secretary, the remaining toasts were disposed of, viz., "English Literature," proposed by Lord Justice Giffard, and replied to by Mr. Anthony Trollope ; "The Writers on Science," proposed by Lord Colchester, and acknow ledged by Mr. James Samuelson.; " The Chairman's health," proposed by Sir J. Simeon, M.P.; and other minor toasts, in which Colonel Sykes, M.P., Lord Law rence, Mr. Blackey, and Mr. B. Hope, M.P., took part. Subscriptions to the amount of about £l,OOO were announced. A telegram from Norwich ou Wedneslay says it is be lieved that Sir Thon.as Western, Bart., will be elevated to the peerage. SY DROPROBIA AMONG SHEEP. —During the past two or three months hydrophobia has been alarmingly prevalent in the neighbourhood of Preston. Many valuable dogs of all breeds have been destroyed at the police-station with prussic acid, the whole number, good, bad, and indif ferent, amounting to two or three scores or more. About three weeks ago, nine lambing ewes, the property of Mr. Draper, Bradley Hall Farm, Croston, near Preston, were bitten by a strange dog, and having since exhibited un doubted symptoms of rabies, have just been all destroyed. The lambs were preserved.--211cdical Press and Circular. SINGULAR DEATH. —The &Tield Independent reports a death from a very singular cause, which bas just taken place at Itetford. A well-known veterinary surgeon there accidentally allowed a dog's tooth to slip down his throat. He believed that it had passed into his stomach, and took little notice of it at the time. Pain in his throat, 'however, subsequently became very severe, and as it was found impossible to reach the tooth surgical skill was of no avail. The unfortunate gentleman died on the second day after the accident. THE MURDER NEAR ABERDARB.—Representa tions having been made to the Home Secretary respecting this murder, directions have been received from the Home Office to offer a reward of £lOO for the discovery of the murderer. The Home Secretary will also advise her Majesty to grant a free pardon to any accomplice that will given such information as will lead to a conviction of the others. It is probable that the £lOO will be supplemented by a further sum by the magistrates of the district. The whole affair is up to the present shrouded in the greatest mys tery, excepting that it is tolerably clear the object of the murder was to obtain possession of the old woman's money. It is b e li eve d t h at h e did not succee d i n his object, but the evidence is not quite conclusive on this point, as no one seems to know what amount of money the unfortunate woman had in her possession. It is hoped that some tangible clue will soon be found to the atrocious murder. DIAMONDS AT THE CAPE.—An " extra " of the Cape Argus contains the following "On the 20th March several private letters were received in Colesbarg from Hope Town, announcing the startling intelligence that the report which bad so long been in circulation, to the effect that a Kaffir doctorwas possessed of a large diamond which he refused to part with, had at length been con firmed. It seems that Mr. Schalk Niekerk, the finder of diamond No. 1, bad, after much difficulty, succeeded in inducing the Kaffir to part with his prize, in consideration of receiving in return 500 sheep, 10 oxen, and a horse, and that it proved to be a diamond weighing eighty-three and a half carats, which Mr. Niekerk subsequently sold to Messrs. Lilienfeld Brothers, of Hope Town, for £11,200. This, of course, is far beneath its value, as it is said to be a brilliant of the first water, and, consequently, worth at least £20,000. It is reported that this diamond was found within the colony, bat the latter statement requires ccn firmaitiolu _ FALL OF THE "FEMALE BLONDLN" BOLTON. On Tuesday evening an intensely exciting scene 0/ witnessed at Bolton. In connection with Mr. Pablo Fanque's circus, the Female Blondin" h a d been announced for an outdoor performance. She vrAs to walk along a rope fixed from the third storey of the Old Coronation Mills to the top of the circus, the height of the rope being about sixty feet, and the dis - some eighty feet. About half-past seven the "Fema le Blondin" entered the Coronation Mills, which are be 42 g pulled down, and ascended the rope. She sauntered al on e ' for a few feet with a light and easy step, but at about fifteen feet from where she started there was a larg° poly knot on the rope several inches long. She essayed to or° it, and then turned back. In a moment, however, she ro: sumed her perilous journey, amid the breathless a nxiety c 1 thousands who s o sixty feat beneath her. She approaebet the knot cautiously, crossed it, but just as her lot foot was leaving it she stumbled. At once she threw her pole to the crowd below, and with a d,sperate effort she grasp„.d the rope. She is a strong muscular woman, O t exerted herself greatly to regain a pr , s:tioa on the rope, hung , penclud by 111.1. Lands. The wild •st excitement Pre; .11 Tailed amongst the spJetatirs.

With more speed than it can be told, a great D ulu ! g i of n'en massed themselves together at the placo over she hung by the rope, and begged her to let go and fal• Sh did so, and wa.s caught by them; and although the dist'l she full was almost fifty feet, she sustained no injury b e Y ° the fright and a shake. A contemporary says :—" Not many days ig m ° when a Trapese performer, who calls himself fell at Birmingham, wo commented in an article, entitl; The Dance of Death,' upon the immorality of s fl° . dangerous performances.
