Although the Review of the Household Troops in Windsor Great Park marked simply.a gala day, it was one, in several respects, of a rather noteworthy charactLr. It bignalised, in a conspicuous manner. the cordiality of the welcome accorded, both by the English SOVEREIGN and the English Pecple, to an Ally of all but Imperial importance. And while it served that good purpose, it afforded the very rare THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING:" JUNE 28, 1869. and exceptional opportunity of bringing once more together, in a very public manner, and with all be fitting splendour, the English People and the Eng lish SOVEREIGN. Since the death of the PRINCE CONSORT, Her MAJESTY has never appeared before her loyal subjects with any such Royal pageantry as was in attendance upon her throughout the proceedings on Saturday. It was like the restoration of her MA JESTY to the people from whom, by her protracted retirement, she has been so long estranged. And the event was welcomed, accordingly, with enthusiasm. It mattered comparatively little that the number of the troops reviewed upon the occasion barely exceeded an aggregate of five thousand. The occasion itself was everything. And 5,000 were as good as 50,000, for inasmuch as theyafforded the float and the Guest, the QUEEN and her Lieges, the wished-for opportunity. Besides, when we looked to the manoeuvring of those 5,000 troops on the verdant and level greensward of Windsor Great Park—in the well-known open space lying between Queen ANNE'S Ride and the Long Walk—a review-ground unmatched for beauty, and girdled all round by, the loveliest framework for such a picture as that, a leafy wall or bordering of umbrageous elms now in their thickest foliage—one could find nothing wanting, there, to the view, even regarding it simply and solely as a military spectacle. A larger number of troops than were there, assembled would only have crowded the particular spot we are referring to as the arena selected for Saturday's review, and would certainly have added nothing to the completeness of the whole display as a military demonstration. In fantry, cavalry, and artillery were there in their very perfection. Horse, foot, and guns were all "picked" out of the QUEEN'S army, as exemplars of its efficiency and of its discipline. There were the Ist and 2d Life Guards, there were the Royal Horse Guards, the Royal Artillery and the Royal Horse Artillery, there were the Grenadier Guards of the 2d and 3rd battalions, the Coldstream Guards of the Ist and 2nd battalions, and the Scots Fusilier Guards of the Ist and 2nd bat talions—comprising, in all, 5,054 men and 1,045 horses, the former consisting of 260 officers and 4,788 privates. Given, as the scene, the loveliest por tion of the noblest park in England—as the time, the finest summer afternoon within the year's expe rience—as the " material" for the Review, the very pck of the whole army—as the occasion, the welcome of the Egyptian Khedive upon the very morrow of his princely reception, at Grand Cairo, of the Heir Apparent to the Crown of Eaeland— and the added charm of the demonstration that Sa turday was in reality, to a certain extent, the cele bration of her MAJESTY'S restoration to her people after her prolonged retirement—and the mere gala day seems somehow to assume to itself a certain ex ceptional importance. No wonder, everything con sidered, that such aday passed off to every one's satis faction. The Englishman's privilege of grumbling was for once denied to him at Windsor on Saturday. Even his old enemy, the weather, he could find no fault with at all. Sunshine and shade were, there, exquisitely intermingled. The warmth of the June afternoon was tempered by the most refreshing breezes. There was not a speck of dusk. There was not a drop of rain. Green grass under foot, green boughs over head, the bluest sky beyond, flecked with silvery clouds of perpetually changing beauty—even the typical Englishman of the epigram which says of him, that he is never happy unless he is miserable, just as a kindred epigram declares of the typical Frenchman that he is never at peace unless he's at war, and of the typical Seatchman that he is never at home unless he's abroad—even the carping Eng lishman, who is, as we might say, internationally re garded as the very incarnation of a Curmudgeon, even he, in regard to hie own clim tte, could discover nothing to find fault with— just for once ! And so the day passed off smoothly from beginning to end. Punctual to the minute, her MAJESEY inaugurated the Review at the very time appointed, namely at exactly half-past four o'clock in the afternoon, by taking her depar ture from Windsor Castle at 4.30 p.m., as the firing of a single gun from the Castle itself announced to the assembled troops and the surrounding multitude of spectators awaiting that signal on the review ground in eager expectation. The discharge of the distant gun at Windsor Castle, was instantly re sponded to by the firing of a royal salute by a battery of artillery and the run ning up to the head of the flag-staff of the royal standard. Gradually, at a walking pace, the cavalcade passed in gorgeous procession between the array of troops and the long line of the concourse of spectators until the Royal carriage, bearing the Eng lish QUEEN and the Egyptian VICEROY, drew up for a while immediately under the flagstaff bearing the royal standard. Directly after the whole line had given the salute, with the flash of steel and the flutter of lowered flags, and the playing of the National Anthem by the bands of all the regiments, the royal cavalcade again passed and repassed—serpentining in the open ' space between the crowd and the troops, and passing at last slowly along the whole line of the latter, the bands of the different regiments taking up in turn the Egyptian Hymn in honour of the vice-regal guest of the occasion. Afterwards, when the Royal carriages had been grouped once more under the shadow of the flagstaff bearing the royal standard, the Review took place with all befitting :magnificence. The Cavalry in all their gorgeous panopoly of helmets and breastplates of burnished steel, with their jack boots and scarlet and blue uniforms,and theilurred and embroidered housings,the Infantry moving in extended lines with the precision of machinery, the Artillery trailing their guns over the green-sward with a swinging ease, full of power and animation—each in turn, or all together, carried the review through, with an evidence of discipline that rendered it, from first to last, a brilliant success. The whole wound up with a deadly cannonade, and a still deadlier, crash ing, ripping discharge of musketry, that realised, in a very signal manner indeed, the rapidity of fire secured to us by the Snider rifle and the Armstrong field-pieces. TWENTY pounds is not a heavy fine to pay for the luxury of grievously libelling a Member of Parlia ment of noble extraction; but even this small award represents a good deal of punishment when it involves the costs of a five days' trial. This amount of consolation is left the Hon. F. CADOGAN, who has just won an action for libel against the North Wilts Herald, and has been alloted the sum of twenty pounds in damages. The compensa tion to him is very small ; but to his adversary the penalty is very considerable. Whether, however, Mr. CADOGAN has been on the whole a gainer by this suit, whether he would not have done much better in allowing the effusions of the North Wilts IferaN, grievous as they were, to pass unnoticed, are qucstions upon which there can be but one opinion. Mr. CADOGAN has secured a verdict in his favour; but he has brought into a court of justice, and revealed to all the world, a chapter of his history which might most advantageously have been left interred in the columns of the Swindon journal. At the general election of last autumn, the Hon. F. CADOGAN was the successful candidate for Crick lade in the Liberal interest, and during the lively battle which preceded his victory one of his most doughty opponents was the North Wilts Herald. The editor of this journal imagined that the Consti tution and the Throne might be advantageously upheld by publishing a mock election address, in which Mr. CADOGAN was made to detail the most t serious charges against his own character. This pro- duction was accompanied by a short article which lacked nothing in flavour, however defective it might be in point of taste ; and when Mr. CADOGAN was elected, the accusations against him were repeated in a letter to the editor, which also left nothing to be wished on the score of vigorous language. For the injury done him by the publication of the mock pamphlet, the article, and the letter the member for Cricklade has been awarded £2O. The sum does indeed appear inadequate; but a short résumé of the facts will serve to shew why the jury did not allow more, and why many juries would have hesitated before pronouncing for so much. In the first place, Mr. CADOGAN was represented by the election address to have employed his position as deputy-chairman of the Submarine Telegraph Company—au office which he filled from 1852 to 1857—in illicitly ascertaining the contents of messages, and using the information they furnished as a guide in Stock Exchange speculations. The facts which the plaintiff was bound to admit were, to say the least, an unfortunate series of coincidences. It was proved that Mr. CADOGAN did speculate to a considerable extent whilst a director of the telegraph company. It was likewise not contested that the member for Cricklade was during this period constantly engaged in the instrument-room of the telegraph offices. It is not usual for directors to spend much of their time with a company's clerks, but this excessive zeal is explained by the theory that Mr. CADOGAN was perfectly acquainted with the art of telegraphy, and was able to translate foreign messages. The clerks, however, soon became proficient, and a knowledge of lan guages is not now-a-days usually confined to directors. But still Mr. CA - DOGAN deemed his presence indispensable to the conduct of business at the Cornhill offices ; and, moreover, he adopted another system of procedure which scarcely admits of even this explanation. He gave orders that pri vate messages containing certain information should be sent to him at his club. It is difficult to see why telegrams, which ought to be as sacred as letters, should have been submitted to Mr.CADOGAN'S inspection before proceeding to its destination ; still less is it clear why one important message was published before it was received in the quarter to which it was addressed. Yet the plaintiff could not disprove that these things were done, nor is there any doubt that during the exercise of this espionage Mr. CADOGAN was largely buying and selling stocks. In 1857 Mr. CADOGAN prosecuted a 3.1 r. EVANS and a Captain THORNE on a charge of attempting to extort money from him as the price of suppressing a letter sent to the Times. The two culprits were sent to prison for twelve months; but the letter in question referred to Mr. CADOGAN'S position in the Telegraph Company, and the trial created such a scandal that he resigned. Whether EVANS and THORNE were unjustly convicted is a painful ques tion into which we need not enter. The facts we have given, respecting which there is no dispute whatever, may suffice to indicate whether Mr. C ADOGAN' s conduct whilst deputy-chairman of the Submarine Company is wholly free from blame. The mock election address contained another charge. It was to the effect that in 1862, whilst Mr. CADOGAN held an important office under the Commissioners of the International Exhibition, he procured a refreshment contract for a Frenchman named VEILLARD, re ceiving a " consideration" in return. Here the North Wilts Herald fell into error, for it was shewn that the plaintiff held no office, and Earl GRANVILLE testified that Mr. CADOGAN exerted no personal influence with him. M. VEILLARD, how ever, got the contract, and Mr. CADOGAN got a certain sum of money. But admitting that this portion of the election address was a libel without justification, the whole verdict is not intelligible to us, and Mr. Justice HANNEN shewed pretty clearly that it was not intelligible to him. For the jury found for the plaintiff on both the charges—the telegraph manipu lation, as well as the refreshment contract. Twenty pounds would have been no great sum as damages for the paragraph about the VEILLARD affair if the jury felt satisfied that it was libellous; but, by making their verdict apply to both cases, they absolve Mr. CADOGAN from blame in the one equally with the other. The public will be able to form its own judgment from the facts. There can be but one conclusion from such a story. The language used by the North, Wilts Herald was certainly not too mild, and the prac tice of concocting squibs in the shape of false election addresses is one which cannot be applauded. But this does not alter the facts as they apply to Mr. CADOGAN. The question of whether he ought to represent Cricklade after this exposure admits of a very easy answer. LITERATURE. The Minister's Wife. By Mrs. Oliphant. Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. Another three-volumed novel from the author of the famous " Chronicles of Carlingford" is, in tenth, at all times, a most welcome announcement. It is as welcome, nowadays, to the lovers of fiction as it used to be in the early part of the century, when a new work was announced by the author of the " Chronicles of the Canongate." Far more welcome than it used to be more recently when the same tidings were made public in regard to the author of the "Chronicles of Clovernook." Standing upon a lower grade than that Master Novelist and Prince of Romancists, the great Sir Walter—Mrs. Oliphant is not only, as a novelist and as a romancist, but still more as a delineator of character, to our thinking at least, raised as upon a dais far above the level of Douglas Jerrold. Tozer the Butterman takes his place by right among the humorous creations peopling like actually human beings the wonder ful world of English light literature. " Salem Chapel," the title of the particular story in which that same Tozer was happily made known to us, still remains, in our estimation of Mrs. Oliphant's now voluminous works, her unquestionable master piece. Other popular, and many of them really admirable, fictions she has written—some of the very best of these, moreover, as additions to that same series of the " Chronicles of Carlingford." But not one of them yet, to our mind, can be regarded as in any way comparable to " Salem Chapel," with its Deacon Tozer, the But terman. Works as various as " Zaidee," and the " Brownlows," and the " Atheliugs," and " Miss Majoribanks," and " John Rintoul," and " Katie Stewart," and a long radiant catalogue of others, needless here to be accurately enumerated, have rendered the name of this rarely gifted novelist wel come iu our ears and pleasant to our eyes, whenever it has greeted us afresh upon any title-page. It is rather in her character as the biographer of " The Rev. Edward Irving," that she appears before us here as the writer of these three volumes, entitled " The Minister's Wife." It is rather as the cele brant of the phenomenon of the Unknown Tongues, than as the novelist, pure and simple, that Mrs. Oli phant tells this tale about Loch Diarmid. The picture she has here drawn—we must say at once —i s not in her old radiant colouring. It is rather like a drawing in sepia upon toned paper. Besides which, some of the characters are half crazed by re ligious fanaticism—conspicuous among these being Ailie Campbell and her husband (eventually), Mr. John, otherwise John Diarmid of Ardnamore. All that relates to those two is repugnant to us. We are sick to death of it long before the story has been half related. We are tempted to skip all the duller portions rel tting to those tedious lunatics and their esrie revivalism. The interest of the plot, in truth, lies almost entirely in all that refers to the twin sisters of the Glebe, the orphan daugh ters of the late Captain Duncan--Margaret, the saintly elder of the two by a few minutes, and Isabel, the real heroine of the tale. Volume one closes with the death of Margaret. Volume two ends with the murder of Isabel's first husband. For she marries twice, and, horrible to relate, takes (unwittingly) as her second husband the murderer of her first—Mr. Lothian, the clergyman of the Manse being the first husband, and the second one, who is, as we have said, his ruthless and most des picable murderer, being a young Englishman, - by name Horace Stapleton. It is in 'the double wooing of Isabel by the middle-aged clergy man on the one hand, and, on the other, by the young, selfish, heartless Englishman, Horace Stapleton that subsists, whatever charm or fascina tion there is in the narrative. Once or twice the interest awakened in the reader's mind is intense, but it is only so very exceptionally. It is thus when Isabel is taken during her first honeymoon to the opera-box. It is thus when upon the night of the murder she is waiting Mr. Lothian's return from his ride on horseback through the storm. It is thus especially when, by her discovery of the breastpin hid away in Horace Stapleton's desk, she first wakens to the recognition of the fact that he, her second husband, is her first husband's base and dastardly murderer. As the mere fact of her ever marrying the assassin of the man who first won her hand, will sufficiently indicate, the root, idea, or groundwork of the story is by no means agreeable. We read it, at its most interest ing parts, with a feeling of repulsion. We turn from a consideration of the principal characters, especially from the hero and heroine, with a sense of relief to examine by preference Mrs. Oliphant's delineation of two or three of the minor characters here introduced. Happiest among all these lesser delineations are, first of all, the Dominie Galbraith ; secondly, Jean, stepmother of Isabel and Margaret ; thirdly, old Miss Catharine Diarmid, of Lochhead. The landscape is lightly but cleverly sketched in, and the ways and means, the habits and manners of the primitive inhabitants are ably and sometimes humo rously enough described. r\c- CUP HER MAJESTY.

This good order will, assuredly, never be seriously disturbed."

Should his prayers be heard, religion would be held in honour, the people happy, and France great and properous. BOURSE, June 2G.—Three o'cifock—The marke closed as follows : 41 per Cent.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, SUNIIAT, June 27. In the midst of a period of comparative dulness a remarkable and important incident has occurred to relieve the tedium of waiting for the opening of the session. Your readers will remember that Baron JerOme David was recently nominated to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour. This appointment, as I mentioned before, caused general surprise, and was regarded as of very grave import. Baton Jerome David is a young man, certainly of no great mark; andmany officials of high rank, ability, and long service deemed themselves slighted by this selection. It was thought, too, that as Baron JerOme was chief of the Arcadians—the party more Imperialist than the Emperor—his nomination must be looked upon as an indication that the Emperor meant to make no concessions. The affair, however, had still another aspect. In the last Parliament the Arcadian leader was one of the Vice• Presidents of the Corps IZgislatif, and aspired to the chairmanship in this new Parliament, a post which has, however, again been conferred upon M. Schneider. Now, the latter thought himself aggrieved by the conferring of such a distinction as that of grand officer upon his rival. He, like many others, felt himself slighted, and he accordingly resigned his post as President Qf the Chamber.. His letter has just been published. He says that he regards it as a duty not to allow the moral authority so necessary for the President of a great assembly to be weakened, and adds : " The nomination at this time of Baron Jerome David to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour seems to me an event calculated to produce this result. It has, moreover, a significance under existing circumstances which compels me to beg the Emperor to receive my resig• nation of the high post which he has been pleased to confer upon me.' - - - - This letter was much applauded by some of the papers. The Constitutionnel expressed itself unable to sufficiently praise the dignity which has led to the inditing of this epistle. The Liberte says that there can be but one opinion in and out of the Corps L6gislatif as to the laudable firmness of this act. Unfortunately for AI. Schneider the story has a sequel. His Majesty would not accept his resignation, and wrote a letter, which has also been published, to inform him that nothing offensive or illiberal was intended by the appoint- ment of Baron Jerome David : " At 'a moment when I gave you a fresh testimony of my confidence and esteem for the eminent services you have rendered to the country and my Government, it never could have been my intention to do any thing affecting your dignity or the moral authority which is necessary for you as President of the Corps Ltgislatif. The promotion of Baron Jerome David to the rank of Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour has none of the character which you attribute to it. It is only the just recompense of an honourable career, and the fulfilment of a promise made last year, and which, I think, you knew of. Neither can I admit that this promotion will have in the public mind the meaning which you appear to appre hend. The policy of my Government is manifested clearly enough to eliminate everything equivocal. After as before the elections it will continue the work it has undertaken— the conciliation of a strong power with sincerely liberal institutions." This is an ampule honorable which M. Schneider could not but accept, and he has accordingly withdrawn his resignation. It is questionable, however, how far he was wise in giving vent to his feeling of discontent without its being in his power to remedy the grievance. He has proclaimed to all the world that the dignity conferred on the "Arcadian" annoys him, and yet the dignity is retained, and M. Schneider keeps his post. But the inci. dent to the French people cannot be regarded as other than of the highest importance. The Emperor clearly perceives that the sentiments on non-concession indicated by the Mackau letter and the appointment of Baron JerUme David have dissatisfied and alarmed even some of his firmest supporters. He hastens to correct this impression by assuring M. Schneider that his policy is compatible with Liberal changes, and that he is not necessarily bound to an ultra-Conservative line of conduct. The courts of justice have recently had a surfeit of political and press prosecutions. Business in the latter department particularly has been very brisk indeed. The Siecle, Electeur Litre, and the Opinion Nation«le, each and all came to grief yesterday. But by far the most important press trial was a very unexpected one, in which M. Henri Ilochefort was the defendant. This has indeed been an extraordinary, unexpected, and serious procedure. In the month of January a certain Robert, of Myarle, and a M. Cornebois, were condemned to six months' imprisonment for illegally introducing the Lan terne across the Belgian frontier. The charge against them was that of a contravention, a charge touching which the law does not admit of accomplices. Yesterday, to the amazement of everybody in Paris, the same persons were tried again, not for the contravention of introducing the Lanterne, but for the double delit of exciting to hatred and contempt of the Government, and of offence towards the person of the Emperor. In other words, having first been sentenced for the comparatively slight offence of illegally bringing La Lantane into France, they were again brought up on the much graver charge of responsibility for its contents, and in this indictment M. Henri llochefort was included as an accomplice. The editor of La Lanterne has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment, to a fine of WO, and to the forfeiture of his rights as a citizen, including his right of voting and his eligibility to the Legislative Body for the same term of three years. It is not too much to say that this trial has given rise to the utmost astonishment. It is one of the fundamental principles of the French law, and, indeed, of all law, that no person can be twice tried and sentenced for the same offence. Is not this a case in point? As M. Henri Rochefort is again a candidate for Paris, to supply the place of M. Gambetta, who has been elected in two districts, the affair does bear a queer look. The journals of to-day say little about it ; but they express the opinion that the sentence raises the gravest judicial and political questions, and the Temps promises to investigate the case. Mr. Bourke has given notice that this evening he ill ask the Attorney-General whether, in the event of the House agreeing to the second reading of the Dublin Free men Disfranchisement Bill, it is Lis intention to bring in a bill to disfranchise the ward of the borough of Bradford, re specting which Mr, Baron Martin has reported to the Speaker that., being " inhabitated principally by Irishmen of the working class, largo numbers" therein " were influ enced by corrupt practices" at the late election ? At the meeting of the Chorlton Board of Guar dians, on Friday, a letter of an unusual character was read. The writer had been impressed with a sense of duty by a sermon be had heard, and the duty he felt bound to dis charge was to express his " gratitude for obligations con ferred." The obligations referred to were contracted in the tramp ward at the workhouse, and consisted of " the greatest kindness from all the establishment." Tho writer appears to attribute some of his misfortunes to the fact that he re fuses " to submit to the tyranny of a trades unioo." There are now over 2,000 miners out in the Barns ley district who claim the support of the Miners' Union. On Thursday night between 300 and 400 more men brought out their tools at the Parkgato and Silkstone Pits, belonging to the Strafford Main Colliery Company, rather than submit to a redu tion of 10 per cent. The men at the Silkstono Fall will, it is expected, come out next week. From the aspect of affairs there seems to be no chance of arranging the several disputes now pending in the district, some of which have existed since February last. The TVestern Mail reports that much consternation and excitement has arisen in the town of Cheltenham, caused by a rumour circulating that a certain well-known editor, in connection with the local press, had absconded with the wife of a wino and spirit merchant, also of that town. The names, however, for the present, are suppressed. It appears there had been nothing known to have passed between the couple to arouse suspicion, and the friends of the, runaway lady express much anxiety ou her behalf. Telegraphs, &c., were set to work, and the police are ou their track. It is thought they probably intend emigrating. The "selfish" editor left behind him a wife and family. The Government (according to the London Scots man) aro understood to be "inclined to make a highly favourable response to the memorial of the Scotch members for a Secretary for Scotland. When the change comes into effect, it will, in all probability, not entail the creation of any additional office, Lut will be given effect to in a great mea sure upon the basis of the extra official arrangement which worked so well when Mr. Gordon was Lord-Advocate. Most probably the purely legal functions of the Lord-Advocate will be entirely relegated to the Solicitor-General, who will be a fixture in Edinburgh, and to Mr. Moncrieff will be assigned dignities and duties which belong to the ancient office of Queen's-Advocate." Prufessur Beesly, at a tea-par ty in Manchester in connection with the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners on Thursday, said he had noticed two things in reference to trade unions. Firet, there was a great difficulty in getting men to fill offices of importance and trust who were fit to fill them; and, secondly, when they did get such men, there was frequently great disposition to distrust them and not to give them full confidence which an honest man deserved when he tried to do his duty. lie spoke in terms of great compliment of Mr. Applegarth, and said there was no man in England who bad conduce d so much to the su ccessful result of the late trade un ion Li q uir y as Mr. A pp le garth. That Commission was set on foot by employers to strike a blow at their organisations. It was thought that they could get evidence which would set the whole kingdom against them, and that then the Legislature might be employed to crush them. But although they had got the inquiry they clamoured for, they would not get the legislation they cla moured for. THE LORDS' AMENDMENTS. Five more pages of amendments have been issued, the most important proposal being made by the Earl of SHArTESBURY.—In clause 67, which deals With the surplus, he will move that half of the property be applied under the management of " the Commissioners of the Loan Fund Board of Ireland" in order to aid certain persons by grants of loan at interest not exceeding' the rate of £4 or less than £2 per annum. Loans may be granted to (1) farmers holding farms either below or above five acres, in stocking, draining, repairing, building, or otherwise improving their lands and holdings ; (2) trades men or mechanics, dealers or hnxters, weavers or spin ners, fishermen or boatmen, or persons in other occupa tions requiring loans of money for their respective callings. He also proposes that when the commission expires ten years hence, half of the surplus funds then remaining shall be applied for the benefit of the labouring population of Ireland. Viscount MoscK will move that any person who is aggrieved by the act of one commissioner may require his case to be heard by the three commissioners, instead of two. Lord DUNSANY will propose that the case shall be heard by the other two commissioners. In Clause 25, which pro vides several enactments with respect to churches, he will propose to leave out sub-section 4, which grants that where any church vested in the commissioners is not disposed of under preceding sections, they shall dispose of such church and the site thereof in such manner as they think expedient. In Clause 36 he will move that in the case of any burial-ground not adjacent to any church now used, or other place of worship, but being in any private park, demesne, or ornamental grounds, such burial-ground shall be vested in the Board of Works. Viscount G01 . .1G11 proposes to add to Clause 27 a provis o that where any ecclesiastical residence is vested in the representative body of the Church, the body shall have the same power for recovering any sums due for dilapida• tion as the successor of any archbishop, bishop, or incum bent would have had if the Act had not been passed. Lord SALTERSFORD (Earl of Courtoun) proposes that whenever any annuity shall become forfeited, or cease otherwise than by the death of the holder, then a like annuity shall thenceforth during the life of such holder be paid by the commissioners to therepresentative body of the church, who shall make provision for the proper discharge of the duties appertaining to the office. •, . _ The Archbishop of DUBLIN. —To propose that every claimant shall be reimbursed of all reasonable costs and e xpenses properly incurred by him in establishing all claim under the Act The Bishop of PETERBOROUGH will endeavour to get tae words " with any burial-ground annexed or adjacent thereto" to the proviso that where any church appears to the commissioners to be ruinous, such building shall be preserved as a national monument. Marquis of SALISBURY.—In clause 14, which deals with the compensation to persons deprived of income, he will move to leave out the words " salaries of permanent curates." He will also propose that in the event of formation and incorporation of the representative body of the Church, the commi ss i on e r s shall pay over to them the sum of £200,000 to provide for the payment of th e servants and agents and other expenses connected Wit h the constitution of said body, and the management of th e affairs and property thereof. Earl NELSON will propose several amendments to Clause 16, which provides for annuities to cathedra l officers. the TBE OVEREND AND GURNEY CASE ill") THE GOVERNMENT. Some further correspondence is published between Dr. Thom (through his solicitors) and the Government in the matter of the Overend, Gurney, and Co. prosecution. Messrs. Lewis and Lewis write to the Secretary for the Home Department as follows:—"We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of tbs 22nd inst., in which you state that the Governmen t will not undertake the prosecution of these defendants' Since we addressed you upon the subject, the Lord Chief Justice has fixed this trial to take place on Friday, t he 2nd of July, and his lordship has decided that Dr. Thom , the prosecutor, cannot conduct the case, and that the court will refuse to hear him. Dr. Thom has therefore desired us to communicate these circumstances to Y° ll, and to add, for the reasons given in our former letter, he will not instruct counsel, or add t° the heavy legal expenses he has already incurred. This most important indictment, found by a gra nd jury, and which charges the defendants with a conspiraa to defraud the public of three millions sterling, will he left in the state indicated unless the Government will authorise the expenditure necessary to try it. The costs (including the heavy counsel and other fees), even of such a trial, which will probably last ten days, we would under' take should not exceed £5,000, and we state that limit that it may not be supposed that any unusual outlay Wig become necessary." To this the following reply, dated " Whitehall, 3 ,1 ! 25, 1:169,' and signed "A. F. 0. Liddell," is made am directed by Mr. Secretary Bruce to acknowledge th e receipt of your further letter of the 24th instant, slig . gesting that the Government should undertake the further proceedings in the case of E. v. the Directors o f the Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited),' and I am to inform you that Mr. Bruce adheres to the decision communicated to you on the 21st instant."

Two Pi li t sureties for a sum of £6OO had been taken again any such defalcations, but the persons thus resPe"' sible complained at the time of the great want of Ba er ; sision exercised by the parochial officials in duly audits.: the receipts and payments.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRECON 1 ' 149 MERTHYR RAILIVAL—On Saturday Mr. W. H.

From the evidence of Joh n , Crane, traffic inspector, it appeared that the train consist of empty coal trucks, timber wacgons, and five truoiscei lacier. with iron ore, and one with tin plates. They Passed Maesycwmmer station all right, but soo n after Pussinl: under the viaduct the engine left the line, and witnee: was going to jump off when the bridge w ent to pieces, en 5 the engine and tender and three of the tr ucks, laden witii iron ore, fell over into the road beneath. One of the jurors said he believed the engine had been off the line several times, but this was said to be the fault o f the platelayers. Another juror said he had heard the engine was too light in front, which caused it to run off the line. The engine was said to have been weighted by the Governa: ment inspector, and as he was not present the inquiry W adjourned for his attendance,
