Bd., at the Retail Houses in London; by dents in the principal towns in England ; or wholesale Yesterday Mr. Parnell, the Commissioner of the Poor- Law Board, attended at the Bermondsey Union to inquire into the administration of the Houseless Poor Act in that parish. There was a very full attendance of guardians, and Mr. Youngman occupied the chair. The Commissioner said he had had brought to his notice the fact that the guardians of the parish allowed houseless poor to be nearly nightly refused lodging and relief, and that in total contravention of the law. He saw by a report lately laid before the guardians by the master that 86 men, 65 women, and 34 children, in all 185 persons, had been admitted as houseless poor during the week, and 142 re fused admission during the same time. He did not think it requisite to make any observation on the Houseless Poor Act lately passed by the Legislature; but he trusted that the guardians of this union would adopt the law which had been so laid down for the relief of the houseless and distressed, more especially as the whole cost of carrying the Act out was thrown upon the metropolis generally, and not upon the ratepayers of Bermondsey. The refusal to grant relief to applicants for it was altogether illegal, for those who applied for lodgings and food had a right to have both. It was tho fashion to call the people who applied for relief "vagrants' and "vagabonds;" but, whatever they were, it was the duty of the master of a workhouse to relieve them if they were, starving and houseless. He called their attention to a minute signed by Mr. Villiers, the President of the Poor- Law Board, stating, " The Board consider it necessary, at this period, when winter is rapidly approaching, to remind those who are intrusted with the direction and administra tion of relief ,of the nature and extent of the obligations which the law has imposed upon them. It is a fundamental principle of the Poor Law that every destitute person, with out reference to the question of settlement or residence, is primarily entitled to relief when he is actually destitute, and it is the duty of the guardians to see that all necessary and reasonable arrangements are made foraffording to every such person the requisite relief, whether in food, clothing, medical attendance, or lodging." The minute then went on to state that in the absence of the master or matron it was the duty of the porter to admit applicants, and that arrangements should be made so that, when the wards were full, the houseless might apply to the relieving officer, in order that the requisite relief should be afforded. The Master of tho Workhouse, Mr. Hodgkins, was then called before the Board. He stated that it had always been the practice to provide accommodation for a certain number and send away all applicants when the wards were full, the number sent away being regularly reported to the guar dians. The master was sharply questioned by several of the guardians, and one asked him how he knew whether the applicants were houseless poor or vagrants ; and ano ther, how he made up his returns. To the first question, he said he did not see any distinction between vagrants and houseless poor;' and, to the other, he saidthe returns were furnished by the door porter. This official was then sent for, and, in answer to ques tions, he said he counted the people to whom he refused admission, for very often the ward was full early in the evening, and he told the others left outside they could go away, counting them as he did so. He slept within hear ing of the gate, and got up whenever there was a knock, so he could tell the number applying. The Chairman said he had lived in the parish of Ber mondsey all his life, and he never saw people about the doors, and he was sure there was a mistake somewhere with respect to the numbers given as turned away, and he was determined to ".get at" where the mistake was. With this view he sharply cross-examined the porter, and said he had no doubt the man, in counting those left outside, had counted lookers-on and all; but the porter, in as de cided a tone as he could address the chairman of the Guar dian Board, said he knew " his customers" too well to put down any as applying who did not apply. Another Guardian suggested that some of those whowere turned away early in the evening came back again and were so entered twice ; to which the porter replied that some did come back, saying they had tramped to other places and been refused, and they,would rather sit en the door-step all night than go about any more. The clerk said the casuals were no worse off now in this parish than they were under the old law, and to show this he read the returns for a week in each year from 1863. In that year, under the old law, 184 were admitted, and 158 refused in one week. In 1864, under the new law 155 were admitted and 70 refused in a week, and in a week of the present year 178 had been admitted and 116 refused. The worst time, the clerk added,:was now over, for at this sea son there was a falling off in the number of applicants. After many observations by guardians, the Commissioner said he must tell the guardians that they were bound to give relief to all persons who applied, and whom they did not know to be criminals. The law imposed the obligation upon guardians to find shelter, and food, and clothing, and even medical attendance for the poor, and they could not stop to ask about the character of people who were starv ing. The law made no distinction between vagrants and houseless, and he told the guardians that the poor must not be permitted to die in the streets or lie in the gutters of this civilised and Christian country. He was extremely anxious that the guardians should understand their position. The winter was coming on, and the Poor-law as administered by the guardians would be upon its trial, for it was to bo anticipated that the refuges which in previous winters had relieved workhouses of the casual poor in the winter months, and so caused the " falling off " in the number of applicants at this season, as had been noticed, would now be closed, for, as had been said in the Times, the law of England was sufficient to provide for the houseless now that the guardians had the duty placed upon them of re lieving the houseless. This duty would never be carried e t t o sa kn ia oc v k a a s t ra t n h t e s d w o e o r m e g to be relieved ? wi ou A t th s oG o uu l t o arh n diLa a inn s g e asr pe keel r id s e o f : hwetashearllthoweeAd 8 .

EDWARD HARPER, Secretary. had not made up our minds, and we could not make them up, to imagine England without Lord Palmer ston. To-day we must ; to-day he lies dead in our midst; and all his ripe wisdom all his vast time gathered experience, his tact, his promptitude, his solid thought, his radient ready action, his cheery seriousness, his easy sententiousness—the courage, the spirit, the foresight, the plasticity, the play of the strong and famous English states man, belong to the past. If the shock of uni versal war rang outside our gates to-day—if Europe crumbled up with a sudden earthquake, splitting into new and tumbled forms of social disorder—the veteran Premier would keep the awful silence of his death-chamber. He has done with it —protocols, paragraphs, identical notes, instructions to ambassadors —done. with it all ! The wrinkled hands are crossed upon his breast, and the lips that all the world has listened to for 60 years have felt and obeyed Death's silencing finger. It silences more than those aged and puissant lips—it bids enemies speak reverently of the man whose great vitality and massive force the load of Imperial and most majestic business has at last overcome ; it bids friends be cautious, and anxious, and respectful, even in their praises and regrets, in order that they do no wrong by ill-weighed words to a reputation which fills a whole volume of the annals of Eng land. And, to-day, at least, the " friends" of the statesman lying dead are the people of this land, and his enemies are none but those who are its foes. STAR.—The announcement of the death of Lord Palmerston seems like the closing of a whole era in the history of England. For years and years back he had filled a space in the public mind of Europe far greater than that occupied by any other Engligth Minister—perhaps, indeed, greater than of any other European statesman. His death ought not in the ordinary course of things to have taken England and the world by surprise. But such was the rare condition of his marvellous physical constitution, such was the exuberant and apparently indomitable power of vitality which he displayed, that the event, come when or how it might, must come with all the force of an unexpected shock. It may be safely asserted that no statesman ever reached Lord Palmerston's time of life without having long habi tuated the public by gradual and visible decay to the prospect of his death. But Lord Palmerston seems to have fallen rather than declined. The country did not see him in his weakness and his fading hours. Retaining office to the last, he yet may be said to have likewise retained all the dig nity of the veteran who quits the public field in time and leaves behind him a memory of unim paired intellect and unbroken power ; not the pain ful recollection of an intelligence gradually flicker ing out and a frame degenerating into the languor that demands the grave. Naval and Military Intelligence. creeping away of the Helicon, under the greater power of her Welsh coal, but very recently received on board at Portsmouth. From this time the race was never in doubt, notwithstanding the exertions being made on board the Salamis by her officers, engineers, stokers, and crew. A southerly set had carried the vessels in their course up Channel within sight of Alderney and Cape La Hogue, at about 11 30 a.m. on Sunday, and thence a fresh course was laid for St. Catherine's and the Warner Light, the latter being passed by the Helicon at 24 minutes to 5 on Sunday afternoon, and by the Salamis 121 minutes later, or at 111 minutes to 5. The actual distance between I the two vessels at the finish will be best understood by re ference to one of the Admiralty charts at Spithead. At the moment the Helicon was passing the Warner light-vessel, the goal of the race, the Salamis was passing inside the buoy of Bembridge Ledge, the inner channel having been taken by both vessels by the east end of the Wight in to the Warner, and not the outer channel round by the Nab light-vessel. In this contest the Helicon has proved herself to be undeniably slightly the faster vessel of the two in what we must consider to have been one of the most fairly and best contested races under steam ever made in the English Channel. The Helicon had the advantage of a little extra boiler space over that possessed by the Salamis,with greater room below for ventilation and working her fires, coal of equal quality throughout, and some 12ft. greater length of keel. Against these favourable circumstances the Salamis could only put forward a commander, officers, and crew who believed in the steaming qualities of their ship over all others, and who understood thoroughly the capa bilities of her boiler and machinery—advantages, however, which may be looked upon as counterbalancing the appa rently more formidable list of her opponent's. There can be no doubt that both vessels,with their officers and crews, have done their very best in the struggle for supremacy ; and it only remains for us to observe, in conclusion, that the machinery of both never worked better on any previ ous occasion, and did credit to the makers, Messrs. Raven• hill, Salkeld, and Co., of London. THE LATE LORD PALMERSTON. NEW BOY'S BOOK BY MR. PERCY B. ST. JOHN.

Yesterday a naval court-martial assembled on board her Majesty's ship Formidable, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Charles Talbot, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief at Sheerness, to try Mr. Charles Bessoy Cresswell, engineer of her Ma jesty's gunboat Magnet, tender to her Majesty's ship Poin broke,coastguardship in the riverHumber,on the following charges :—First, that on the 3d October, 1865, ho absented himself from the Magnet without leave ; secondly, that on the 4th October he was drunk on board the Magnet. The court consisted of Captain John Fulford, of her Majesty's ship Formidable (president), Captain Edward Tatham, of her Majest's ship Bellerophon; Capt. George G. Randolph, of her Majesty's ship Cumberland ; Capt. Leveson E. H. Somerst, of her Majesty's ship Bristol; and Commander Fredk. H. Stevens, of her Majesty's ship Wellesley. Mr. Knight, of the firm of Essen, Knight, and Arnold, Admi ralty solicitors, Rochester, acted as Deputy Judge-Advocate. Evidence in support of the charges was given by Lieut. George B. Goolden, in command of the gunboat ; Mr. Thos. Pratt., the boatswain, second in command ; and Mr. Peter Fouliss, the assist.-engineer. It appeared that at the time the offence was committed the Magnet was lying in Yar mouth harbour, and the Lieutenant in cammand was ab sent at a ball given to the officers of the French fleet. The prisoner left the vessel about 10 o'clock at night, without asking leave of the boatswain, to whom it was his duty to apply, and did not return till the next morning, when he was reported by the assist.-engineer at 10 o'clock to be drunk, and was likewise seen about 1 o'clock in the same state by the commander of the vessel, who had then re turned. In his defence the prisoner stated that the charges had been much exaggerated, that he was accustomed to leave the ship to go for a walk without asking leave, and that the cause of his being apparently intoxicated was hat he had taken a glass of brandy to alleviate an attack of diarrhoea. He handed in certificates of character ex tending over a period of .11 years, and expressed a hope that, as this was his first offence, the Court would deal leniently with him. The Court considered both the; charges proved, and sentenced the prisoner to be deprived of all his seniority as an engineer, to forfeit £1 (a sum not ex ceeding two days' pay), and to be severely reprimanded. The Court likewise expressed its particular approbation of the manner in which Mr. Thomas Pratt, the boatswain, had given his evidence. NOTICE.—WiII shortly be produced, first time in this country.

The Commissioner said the guardians could not avoid the law, because there was some little confusion between the words " houseless poor" and " vagrants ;" for all who asked for relief were called " houseless." Then the guardians could make those who were strong break stones, and when thoy saw men willing to break stones in return for such a bed and such food as they got inside the workhouse it was good proof that the relief was needed. Several of the guardians here complained that some of the people would not break stones, and that the magistrates sided with the vagrants. 0 SB 0 RNE'S ANALYSED PROVISIONS. 30, LUDGATE-HILL. ,f the 3inoss Oats their ;, and freely yers.

If the guardians did not do their duty, it was not in the power of the Poor-law Board to imprison or punish the chairman of the guardians ; but it was in their power to punish the guardians' officers if the poor were neglected.

Illnesses of th e most alarming character, which have withstood all other treat ment, have gradually yielded to a course of Holloway's pi ls, which will ever prove the invalid's afeet friend. TIMES.—One of the most popular statesmen, one of the kindliest gentleman, and one of the truest Englishmen that ever filled the office of Premier is to-day lost to the country. The news of Lord Pal merston's death will be received in every home throughout these islands, from the palace to the cot tage, with a feeling like that of personal bereave ment. There is not a province in our vast colonial empire, and there are few civilised nations in the world, which will hear without an emotion of regret that Lord Palmerston no longer guides the policy of England. Never again will that familiar voice be heard in the councils of E4rope, or in the British Senate, of which he almost seemed a part ; never again will that native gaiety of spirits enliven the social circle in which he loved to move. The death of no other subject could have left such a void in the hearts of his countrymen; for no other has been identified so long or so closely with our national life. Born in the first year of Pitt's first Administration, and some yearsbefore the downfall of the old French monarchy, he had witnessed the whole drama of European politics in the nineteenth century, and in the most important scenes of it bad taken a leading part. He belonged to the age of 'Wellington and Napoleon, of Nesselrode and Metternich, of Castle reagh and Talleyrand, of Liverpool and Canning, no less than to our own. He was already in office, as Secretary at War, when ..Mr. Gladstone was not yet in his cradle, and four years before Lord Rus sell, then barely of apes returned for Tavistock. He continued to hold same post under six Go vernments in gueccaziou, ancteotnaore than 20 years; "he was Foreign Secretary for more than 14 out of the 20 years from 1831 to 1851, and he had been a member of every Cabinet, except those of Sir Robert Peel and Lord Derby, since the accession ofLMr. Canning to power. So extended and so various an experience in State affairs is almost without a parallel in history, and the vigour of mind and body which enabled him to lead the House of Commons when he had passed the age of eighty, has certainly been given to very few in ancient or modern times. He has left none like him—none who can rally round him so many fol lowers of various opinions, none who can give us so happy a respite from the violence of party-warfare, none who can bring to the work of statesmanship so precious a store of recollections. It is impossible not to feel that Lord Palmerston's death marks an epoch in English politics. "The old order changeth, yielding place to new." Other Ministers may carry into successful effect organic reforms from which he shrunk. Others may introduce a new spirit into our foreign relations, and abandon the system of secret diplomacy which he never failed to support. Others may advise her Majesty with equal sagacity, and sway the house of Commons with equal or greater eloquence ' • but his place in the h ear ts of the people will not be filled so easily. The name of Lord Palmerston, once the terror of the Con tinent, will long be connected in the minds of Englishmen with an epoch of unbroken peace and unparalleled prosperity, and cherished together with the brightest memories of the reign of Queen Victoria. HERALD.--The cold so heartily prayed for as a safeguard against pestilence has come at last, and, hardly here, has exacted a sacrifice in which every Englishman bears a heavy part. The announcement of the death of Lord Palmerston will be received with universal regret, aggravated and intensified by the suddenness with which the calamity has come upon us. That an old man of eighty-one should be carried off by the first access of winter's cold is so much in the ordinary course of things that no one could wonder or murmur at his removal. But before the public generally had even learnt that the veteran statesman was ill his long career had closed, and the nation is deprived of its favourite before it has had time to contemplate the possibility of its loss. England has had statesmen whose names will occupy a more glorious page in her history than Lord Palmerston's, whose genius far transcended his talent, whose devotion to their country's service fully equalled, if it did not exceed, his; but there never was an English Minister who was so thoroughly the idol of his countrymen, because there never was one who so perfectly understood their character, shared so closely their feelings in their strength and weakness, and secured so largely their confidence. Political differences did not lessen the esteem and goodwill with which he was generally regarded, and Sir Robert Peel expressed the senti ment of the whole nation when, in the last speech he was fated to deliver—a speech directed against the noble lord's policy, and followed by a vote in tended to drive him from office, he exclaimed, 6, We are all proud of him." The pride and the affec tionate regard have grown immensely since those worde were spoken, and we have seen of late years confidence in the noble lord even do the duty of a political creed. POST.—Pain and deep sorrow fall upon the coun try. Every family in England will learn with keen regret that the great statesman of whom the nation was proud has ceased to exist. In the fulness of years and of honour, witnessing the triumph of his policy, Lord Palmerston has, almost suddenly, been called from among us. He has died, as he should have died—in harness. The end of that glorious life is complete. From youth to manhood and to old age every day has seen him battling for his coun try. The veteran preserved the tire of his youngest days, and none can reproach him with faltering voice or failing thought. He has gone from us, still in the plenitude of his intellect and in the strong ability to fulfil the arduous duties of his post. The greatness of the man will command its tribute from all, far and near. By friends and opponents, and in foreign lands, he is acknowledged as a great representative man—emphatically " the Eng lish Minister." But though the loss be great, nationally and politically, Lord Palmerston was so good and kind-hearted that those who personally mourn him can only appreciate how severe is the bereavement to his thousands of friends. The House of; Commons loses its leader, whose voice its oldest members have listened to always with respect, and often with enthusiasm. How that manly form, with the folded arms, will be missed from the Treasury bench ! How that clear loud voice, enunciating strong facts or exposing the absurdity of an adversary, will be lost from the debates, only those can tell who know how in public life sincere affection and true friendship are widely felt in our great popular assembly I DAILY News. -_A ripe statesman, a veteran diplo matist, the most experienced of party leaders, the link of two periods of history, and of the old and the new habits of thought, was yesterday taken from among us. Europe will listen no more to the sound of a name which has so often caused it to startle, if not to tremble. The Parliament, which in the full tide of his undiminished power Lord Palmerston summoned to approve and continue his policy, will never see the chief who guided so many of its pre decessors. Its party conflicts, its clashing of prin ciples, will rage unappeased by the great master who has stilled so often the murmur of opposition and the anger of discontented supporters. Better per haps that it should be so. The future will be less acquiescent than the past, and better that a life prolonged so far beyond the usual term should sink calmly into the grave than that it should wear itself out amid the storms of impending conflict. Better that the sere leaf that has dallied in the long summer sunshine should flutter gently to the ground in the autumn stillness than that it should still adhere to the topmost bough, to be tossed and torn in the wild gusts of a rude coming winter.

T ELEGRA p i r. _Lord Palmerston is no more ! and to-morrow, had he lived to see its dawn, would have been his 81st birthday ; yet the news of his death comes upon us all like a shock. True, in one sense, it has been sudden, for the last and fatal illness was rapid ; but what other death could be called sudden at 81 ? His seems so, because, with all our unspoken knowledge that his buoyant powers were sinking, that his career approached its end, that the than - cc of our ever seeing him take his place again in council and debate was most unlikely, we The half-yearly inspections of the Cavalry, Royal Artil lery, Royal Engineers, and battalions of infantry in the Chatham district were brought to a termination yesterday by Major-Gen. Sir Robert Walpole, K.C.8., Commandant of the Forces, by the inspection of the Royal Engineers, including the whole of the service and depot companies, now at headquarters. The Major-General, accompanied by the members of his staff,devoted the early portion of the day to the inspection of the barrack building, non-commis sioned officers' and men's quarters, the schools, libraries, offices, messrooms, &c., at Brompton-barracks. The whole were found in generally satisfactory condition. Proceeding to the headquarter offices, the books, accounts, and other official documents relating to the corps wore examined. At 1 o'clock, after the men had completed their dinner, a parade of the whole of the companies was formed in Brompton barrack-square, in front of the men's quarters, whore the Royal Engineers wore drawn up in open columns of com panies, under the command of Lieut.-Col. T. B. Collinson, in temporary charge during the absence of Col. J. L. A. Simmons, C.B. After inspecting the kits, arms, and ac coutrements of each company, Major-Gen. Walpole asked if there were any complaints to be made by any of the men , as, if so, he was ready to hear them. No reply, how ever, was given to the question. The unfavourable charac ter of the weather, the rain falling, more or less, through out the day, prevented the customary movements incidental to an inspection being gone through on the review ground, Chatham lines, and at about 2 o'clock the officers and men were dismissed to their quarters. Orders have been received at Chatham garrison directing Lieut. Clarke, 2d Brigade Royal Artillery, Ensign Bailey, and Ensign Quirk, 2d Battalion, 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, to embark on board the Isabella Blyth for the Mauritius to join the head-quarters of their respective corps. The Helicon, Commander M. Singer, and the Salamis, Commander F. G. Suttie, returned from their Channel competitive trial cruise on Sunday afternoon to Spithead. Both vessels are of 835 tons, propelled by paddle engines of 250 nominal horse power (the engines of both being made by one firm from the same set of patterns), and are alike in every respect, excepting that the Helicon has the long plough coulter-shaped bow, introduced into her Ma jesty's navy by Mr. E. J. Reed, Chief Constructor to the Navy; and the Salamis possesses the Admiralty hatchet shaped form that was in vogue at Whitehall prior to Mr. Reed's accession to office. Mr. Reed arrived from Lon don at Portsmouth on Thursday evening last, and em barked on board the Helicon to witness the trial, the Helicon being also the senior officer's ship. The programme laid down for the trial was for the two vessels to steam ten knots on the first day at sea, and 12 knots on the second day, measurement being taken as far as might be possible under the circumstances, of the amount of fuel burnt. The third and concluding trial was to be simply a ran back to Spithead, each vessel to do its best. The trials at 10 and 12 knot speeds were duly made, but no safe inferences can be drawn from the results until the indi cator diagrams now at the Admiralty have been marked out and the indicated power of each ships engine comparedwith consumption of fuel, &c. With regard to the ship's beha viour when steaming at 10 and 12 knots, there was never at any time a sufficiently heavy sea to bring out decisively the respective qualities of each vessel in meeting the waves at full speed. The Salamis flung sheets of spray over the bows in her usual liberal manner, but shipped no " green seas." The Helicon, with her longer bow, rode the waves gene rally with greater ease than the Salamis, so long as she kept her head well up, and passed the seas away under her with the same easy motion exhibited by her on her first run under steam outside the Isle of Wight, to which refer ence was made in The Sun at the date of its occurrence. When, however, the Helicon dipped her bows deeper in the waves than usual then she proved much inferior to the Salamis in disposing of the opposing seas, for, unable to inclined bows, rid of the weight of water hanging on her bows, she flung it bodily inboard in green seas. As has been observed, however, there were no really heavy hea d seas met with to fully test either of the vessels in this res pect, and therefore no positively fair comparison between the two can perhaps be drawn. The 10 and 12 knot speed runs having been concluded, the two vessels were put under easy steam until a position, 335 miles west of St. Catharine's, Isle of Wight, was reached on Saturday at noon. Then the preparatory flag was hoisted on board the Helicon to start on the race back, the winning-post being the Warner Ligh tship at the eastern entrance to Spithead, and the distance 350 miles. All was soon ready, but the start was delayed for about half an hour, during which time the Salamis's pressure of steam fell, her boilers filled with water, and her fires necessarily grow dull. All this could not be avoided, but it nevertheless gave the Helicon a decided advantage, as it enabled her commanding officer to start her at his own time-1 p.m., under a full head of steam, with clear fires ' and her head set straight on h er course ; while the Salamis had to get her head round from the westward, and start with steam down to 191 b., and with dead fires. At the end of two hours from the time of starting the Helicon had obtained a lead of from two and a half to three miles, but the Salamis's fires and steam were now all right, and her engines were doing their best. By 4 p.m. the distance between the vessels was but trifling, and by 1 a.m. on the following morning (Sunday) they were fairly abreast of each other, the green light of the Helicon being distin guishable from the fore-deck of the Salamis. At daylight on Sunday the coal received at Portsmouth in the bunkers of the Salamis was nearly all gone, and a very inferior kind of coal, which had been 12 months in the bunkers, having been taken on board at Copenhagen and Hull, when the Salamis was in attendance upon the Prince and Princess of Wales on the occasion of thoir visit to Den mark, had now to be burnt in the furnaces. The effect in this change of fuel was soon apparent in the gradual TAVERN AND HOTEL GLASS. Newest Patterns, Correct Measure. T DEFRIES and SONS, • 16 and 17, COMMERCIAL-STREET.

The Commissioner said that would be the relieving officer's business when tho tickets came to him. Would the guardians do their duty, and got the tickets printed ? The Chairman bluntly replied that he would not impose any such duty on the relieving officer. it was then moved, seconded, and carried nem. con., "That the discussion on the question should be adjourned," and the Commissioner gave the guardians to understand that he should attend the discussion, but he said he wanted to know what would be done in the meantime for the house less poor. He suggested that they should be taken into one of the workhouse wards, there being room in the workhouse for 700 persons, and only at present 500 inmates; but to this the guardians demurred, some saying they were not, going to have people in the workhouse who would not be admitted to common lodginghouses. The Commissioner said he left the matter in the hands of the guardians, and they now knew the responsibilities which they were under. Only one guardian, Mr. Ramsay, spoke in favour of the law being carried out.

FORGERY OF A MINE SHARE TRANSFER. --A swindler has recently so successfully imitated the signature of Mr. J. C. Lanyon, Redruth, on a transfer for four shares in the Wheal Seton Mine, that most likely that gentleman or the shareholders will thereby sustain a loss of about £BOO. It appears that at the meeting held by the adventurers of Wheal Seton on Monday, October 9, a divi dend. of £5 per sh are was declared, and Mr. Lanyon, sup posing he had 15 s h ares, expected to receive as his portion o. On Wednesday, however, a cheque for £LS arrived Thinking it was a mistake, Mr. Lanyon immediately wrote to the purser, but, to his surprise, received an answer that four of his shares had been sold six weeks ago, and since that date had several times changed hands. A strict in quiry was commenced, but as yet little information has been obtained, and it is to be feared that the offender will escape punishment. The present transfer system is plainly deficient, in that only the buyer is required to register the share, and no notice whatever expected of the seller. If a rule could bo made that notice must be received by the purser from both parties before a share could be regi stered, future swindling schemes of this kind might be frustrated. —Western Morning News.
