other would not wish it, but would be obliged to go with the stream.' " This one brother, John Lamb, held a clerkship, with a Co nsiderable salary, in the South Sea House (the subject of the first of the collected Essays), and seems to have been a hard, dry, selfish man, who cared little for his relations ; but after his mother's terrible death he, too, was in danger from the family disease. ' I fear for his mind,' writes Charles to Coleridge ; he has taken his ease in the world and is not fit to struggle with difficulties.' But the other brother' did not go with the stream. He made up his mind at once what to do, and he did it, his whole life through. To enable him to devote his being entire to his desolate sister, he began by burning the little journal of ' my foolish P a ssion, which I had so long time kept,' and even, under the exaggeration of the first sense of self-devotion, and to wean himself off from the occupations and hopes of a happier past, he got rid of the letters of his best and wisest friends, and of all his own compositions in verse. Men tion nothing of poetry,' ho writes ; ' I have destroyed every vestig e of poor vanities of that kind.' The whole income of the household at that time was, at the most, not more than £lBO, out of which,' he says, wo can spare £5O or £6O for Mary while she stays in an asylum; if I and my father, and an old maid-servant, cannot live, and live com fortably, on £l3O or £l2O a year, we ought to burn by slow fires. I almost would, so that Mary might not go into an hospital.' The brother and all the other members of the family opposed her discharge, but the solemn under taking of Charles to act thereafter for life as her protector prevailed. Whenever some irritability or change of man ner prognosticated the returning malady, the brother and Sister would walk quietly, but often weeping, to Hoxton Asylum, he carrying the strait-jacket, which at that time was the indispensable adjunct of insanity. But even nwohtevniontlheert,e he did not le ave h er en ti re l y. ' Wh en s h e i s her rambling chat is better to mo than the sense and sanity of the world,' and he rarely went else where for relief or diversion. am afraid there is some thing of dishonesty in any pleasure I take without her.' With eloquent pathos indeed does Mr. Proctor write— "'ln this constant and uncomplaining endurance, and in his steady adherence to a great principle of conduct, his life was heroic. We read of men giving up all their days to a 'lngle object ; to religion, to vengeance, to some over powering -selfish wish ; of daring acts done to avert death or disgrace, or some oppressing misfortune. We read mythical tal es o f fr i endsh i p ; but wo do not recollect any tanc e in which a great object has been so unremittingly carried out throughout a whole life, in defiance of a thou sand difficulties, and of numberless temptations, straining the good resolution to its utmost, except in the case of our poor clerk of the India House.' "But it may be no extravagance of the theory of com pensations to believe that something besides the satisfac tion of accomplished duty was the result of this devoted life. Though, in one form of insanity, structural disease deadens or distorts the perception, and, extending to the organ s of all the faculties, paralyses the intellectual force and reduces the individual to a simple machine, and, in another, the inefficiency or misdirection of the intellectual force is the sole cause of derangement, and produces disease by the violence of its existence and the want of the habit of controlling the thoughts and checking the imagination there will always remain a border-land of sanity and Madness, in which the saving power is the abstraction from self--the fixed occupation of the mind in other matters than its own phenomena. The saddest impression a visitor takes a way from an asylum is the utter lovelessness of its inmates ; and it seems almost as if the sense of one passionate sympathy might disperse the darkest of those , oloud s . C ertain it is that though, just before that catas trophe, Charle s L amb was placed under control, the Precaution was never necessary again, notwithstanding cHls all the stress of mind cause d b y th e d rea df u l even t an d i ts e l ecillen c°s• Und er th e regis o f that i ntense fraternal eve his spirit walked secure." Letter to Count Bismarc'r. BERLIN, July 15.

It was unanimously held that a husband is liable to aliment his wife's pgrents. The decisions in the inferior courts have been numerous and conflicting; and it is satisfactory that the question has now been raised simply on its legal merits, and authorita tively decided. The grounds on which the court pro ceeded were :—That a husband is liable for the debts of his wife, wh e th er future or contingent; that the obliga tion in this case was incumbent on the wife at the timo of her marriage, though not then prestable ; that it might have become exigible as against her, if single, at any mo ment, and when married, became enforcible, like all her other personal obligations, against her husband.—Scots- man. There is a good demand for monetary accommo dation, and the rates continue firm at 81 per cent and upwards. The floating balances of bankers and others are very large, but owing to the adverse specie movement there is no disposition to relax the terms. At the Bank of England yesterday there was a withdrawal of £55,000 in gold. There has been no alteration in the SilVer Market. The small amount in bars by the West India Packet, being sold at GI per oz. At an ordinary general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the City Bank, the usual dividend was declared of £,G per cent. per annum, and a bonus of Gs. per share, together equal to 12 per cent. per annum, free of income tax. In the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets, during the last few days, there has been an absence of animation. Sugars, however, have generally maintained former values. Coffee has been in moderate request at steady rates ; while in rice, tea, saltpetre, and tallow, there has been a very limited business transacted, without any material change in values. To-day consols have been f per cent. higher, but have since receded to the prices last current yesterday afternoon —viz.: 87 for money , and 88f for the account. No fresh event has occurred to produce depression. Nevertheless foreign poli tics, the high rates of money, and the foreign de mand for gold, chill speculation and retard invest ments. Owing to one of those occasions when there is a wide difference between the values of Government Securities. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are buoyant, while Consols are comparatively flat.

OSBORNE, July 16. The Queen went went out in the grounds this morning with Princess Louise. Prince Leopold and Princess Beatrice went out also. Mr. I'. C. Hope, of the Bombay Civil. Service, had the honour of presenting to her Majesty to day, from the Committee of the Society of Archi tectural Antiquities of 'Western India, and its two patrons, Messieurs Premchund Raichund and Kur sondas Madhowdas, a copy of its works recently published under the editorship and superintendence of Mr. Hope, who explained to her Majesty the different styles of architecture illustrated in the volumes comprising the work. " The rank is but the guinea stamp, Tho man's the gowti for a' that ;" :cheers) —and what I most rejoice at is the thought hat in this free country of ours any man may h o p e ,0 rise to tho highest rank it is in the power 0 1 his Sir - E, B. Lytton, now Lord Lytton. (From the Ilerts Guardian of this day.) On Wednesday evening the members of the " Widows' Hope" Lodge of Odd Fellows celebrated their anniversary at Stevenage ; and the Right Hon. Sir E. B. Lytton having ki n dl y consented to occupy the chair on the occasion, it was determined that the festivities should consist--instead of the usual dinner—of a soiree, at which the wives and families of the members and other visitors could at tend. The Rev. Canon Blomfield kindly lent the use of the National School-room, which was deco rated with much skill, and in a very nice and taste stmanner. The top of the room was ornamented with evergreens and cut flowers ; also the joists and rafters. Along the sides were, in large letters, " Welcome to Sir Edward—Health and Long Life," " Welcome to the Rector of Stevenage," " God Save the Queen," " Success to the Widows' Hope Lodge," and several other appropriate mottoes and devices. Two series of tables each occupied the entire length of the room ; on these were placed bouquets of flowers and tea equipages. A 7 o'clock Sir E. B. Lytton entered and was received with a burst of applause. lle took the president's place, fixed near the western entrance ; near him were the Rev. Canon Blomfield, Rev. C. B. Pearson, and Mr. Pearson, jun., Rev. J. 0. Seager, Mrs. and the Miss Seagers, the Rev. Mr. Paul, Mrs. Amos, A. B. Denton, Esq., and Miss Denton, Mr. Webb, Mr. Smith (Stevenagebury), and other ladies and gentlemen. After a welcome and refreshing supply of tea and coffee (we trust to be excused for not quoting " The cup that cheers but not," &c., &c.) the business of the evening began. First, the balance sheet was produced : the Lodge has 73 members, and has £9o7'7s. 2d. monies in the bank, on mortgage, and in the hand of Messrs. Simpson, brewers, of Baldock, being about £l2 10s. for each member. The receipts for the year are £134 17s. 11d., the payments £BO 3s. 2d., and £6O has been invested. Next, a choir of ladies and gentlemen sung a very elaborate glee, " The Sisters of the Sea," in very good style and to some effect. Wine, the claret cup, and fruits were handed round, and all was hushed as the President rose to address the assembly. Sir E. B. LYTTON said—Ladies and gentlemen, will you allow me thus early to express the great pleasure I feel on finding myself once more amongst you. (Cheers.) For, independently of other attrac tions, it is above 25 years since I first became one of the brotherhood of Odd Fellows, and I am glad to see around me so numerous and flourishing a family. (Cheers and laughter.) Gentlemen, the institution of Odd Fellows closely combines two great social duties in life : the one is prudent fore sight, the other a mutual benevolence. There is no thing which more strengthens and dignifies the whole character of man than to form early in life a steady determination to provide against the chances of the future. The work of to-day becomes more light and pleasant to him who knows that he has taken care of the morrow—and should be struck down by sudden illness, he has earned through his own self-sacrifice in thrift or economy a right to the aid of his fellow man. He who does this has a better chance of a happy and contented home ; for surely he will be more beloved by his wife and children if they know he has taken care for them in case accident or dis ease should disable the arm on which they lean for support. It is an additional pleasure for an Odd Fellow to know, that while he is providing for him self, he is at the same time, through the great prin ciple of co-operation, obtaining the power to benefit others in their time of affliction. Thus, as I have said, Odd Fellowship combines two social duties— prudence and benevolence. And thus the Society of Odd Fellows fulfil a great social duty. This may be said of all other provident societies ; but, in addition, the Odd Fellows secure opportuni ties for pleasant meetings like the present, which serve to bring us familiarly together, and make us feel that we are indeed brothers, not only in acts of charity, but in mutual affection and good will. (Cheers.) In small towns and rural districts such as this we have but few opportunities of meet ing together, and a cheerful holiday like that we now enjoy sends us all back to our homes thinking still more kindly of each other. (Cheers.) Now, gen men, I must congratulate you upon one great im provement on our former meeting. You have secured the attendance of the ladies ; and lam sure you all acknowledge that the sight of so many fair faces is better than our flower show. (Cheers.) I venture to express a hope that the good custom now begun will not fail to be continued, though I fear it will be attended with a serious loss, not only to some Odd Fellows, but also to their friendly guests. For if there be young bachelors present, I am certain some of them must have already lost their hearts; and it there be any young lady present who has happened to find one of these hearts, I, as chairman for the day, give her full leave and license to keep it for life. provided only, as is fair, that she gives another heart in exchange. (Cheers and laughter.) Now, ladies and gentlemen, I am not here to make a speech, but to be amongst you ; and it only remains for me to thank you, first, most cordially for the kindness with which you have received me as a friend and neighbour ; and next, for the pleasure you have afforded me by the development of the musical talent which has charmed us all. In return ing thanks to the musicians, permit me not to for get to thank the fair Sisters of the Sea. (Loud cheers.) Glee—" Awake 2Eolian Lyre." 'The Rev. Canon BLOMFIELD said he rose to perform a duty due from the court of Odd Fellows, to record their sense of the honour done them by the presence of Sir E. B. Lytton on this occasion. (Cheers.) He was sure that all present, whether inhabitants of Stevenage or of other places, would feel that a high honour was done to Stevenage, and especially the Odd Fellows, by the presence of Sir Edward Lytton. (Loud cheers.) They had the pleasure of hearing words, few in number, but worthy of long remembrance ; they were spoken by one to whom perhaps the best cultivated assembly in Europe—the House of Commons—listened with rapt attention whenever he rose to address them And although the presence of Sir Edward Lytton a' . __ _ an anniversary of Odd Fellows would be an honour at any time, it was doubly so at the present. The party of whom the right hon. baronet was so dis tinguished a member had come into power ; and though he had not consented to accept office under Government, still it was evident that he must con tinne to be a leading member of that party, and so would be looked up to with much and increasing in terest. Next, he would speak of the high honour her Majesty was about to confer on the right hon. baronet. That was a great satisfaction to all here. They did not suppose that a peerage vould add honour to the name of Bulwer Lytton, because the name was already more widely known and more highly honoured than a peerage could make it ; but it was a matter for pride to them all, that their dis tinguished neighbour and friend had received that distinction, which was so well his due. He was the founder of a title which would go down to the latest posterity, and its holders wouldieel it had descended to them by the high honours fairly earned by Sir Bulwer Lytton. His family had been connected with the locality for very many years ; and he could trace his ancestry back to an almost pre-historic time. Ile (Mr. B.) was sure that none of the right hon. baronet's friends could more heartily rejoice at his approaching and well-deserved elevation, and more heartily wish him every good wish, than those _ _ he now asked to join him in wishing " health and long life to Lord Lytton of Knebworth." (Loud cheers.) Sir E. B LYrrox said—Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot adequately express the sincere gratitude I feel to my friend Mr. Blomfield, for the much too flattering manner in which he has been kind enough to speak of me ; and I thank you also for the kind ness with which you listened to his remarks. With regard to the honour her Majesty is pleased to be stow upon me, I can only say in the language of the poet— SHARE MARKETS.—This Day. Share/ Railways.

A de monstration committee has reported that London has been divided into ten districts. It has also been arranged that processions shall be formed at Finsbury -square ; Cletkenwell-green ; Islington-green ; Poplar, Last India Dock-gates ; Great Dover-road, Southwark, by the. Gate ; The Horns Tavern, Kennington ; Sloane-square, Chelsea ; Camden-town, the Red Cap; Kensington, the church; and Victoria-park, Cambridge Heath-gate. From these places the various processions will march, preceded by bands of music, to Hyde Park. A gentleman in Devonshire had promised a beautiful flag to the League, which is to be known as the National Reform Standard, and which is in tended to be hoisted as a national emblem at the Hyde Park meeting. It has also been resolved that a remon strance to Parliament shall be adopted at the meeting in Hyde Park, on account of petitions seeming to be of no effect, and that Earl Russell, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright, and'other leading men be invited to visit the Hyde Park meeting, so as to afford the people a public opportunity of thanking them for their conduct with regard to reform. 4 26 109 110 i 1 100} 107 j 35 35 9 11 p l 119 121 1 2p I 2p 74 76 108 112 118 152 65 67 46 48 69 70 7i 8 14 115 2 3; 10k) LO) 53 65 ISIONS. 52 54 100 101 fd fp 4 44 7a 84 76 80 55 60 100 102 99} IGO, 100 101 18& 19, 85 87 57 60 58 55 50 55 45 50 40 45 37 41 24 20 23 25 10k 106 f' I 1t p 417 f 98i 91 93 151 151 5i 54' 91 e 3 83 85 0/J 98 99 89 91 85 87 8) B'2 984 974 96 97 1 954 964 T SECU. 92 94 93 95 91 96 75 77 75 77 99 101 102 • 101 102 104 100 103 86 83 100 102 105 1,7 102 104 103 105 101 103 1(3 105 97 100 9,) 90 92 90 95 83 F 5 92 94 76 78 94 96 04 06 102 104 101 105 6 7 5 7 425 445 * i 12 It 7 8 i I 2 3 dt 7 3 3} 191 201, i` 15 U 18 22 2 33 11 35 32 4 0 33 42 21 11d 35 45 2 4 100 100 100 Ito 100 100 Ii MINES. 2.1.0 294 2.14.6 31 2.14.0 8.3.6 3.9.0 10.8.0 all 0.14.6 14.9.6 11 3.2.0 18.18.9 35.15.6 The Prince and Princess of Wales.

Lord Derby and Reform. The following letteheen addressed to the editor of the Times - . "Sir,—l refrain, as a general rule, from troubling you with corrections of reports, but I beg leave to say that I did not state on the hustings that there was no difficulty in dealing with the question of Parliamentary Ref orm, which I acknowledge to be, perhaps, the most difficult of all public questions. What I maintained was, there was no difficulty in the question peculiar to the Conservative party, and I argued that they were as free and as qualified to deal with it as any other party in the State. " What I wished to express respecting Lord Derby's connexion with the Act of 1832 was exactly what I said this year in the Houso of Commons— that the Act of 1832, if not devised by Lord Derby, was, at least, carried mainly by his energy.—Your faithful servant, " B. DIPAELI. "Grosvenor -gate, July 16.'1 POLICE INTELL I GENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

Boyd, and his son, were apprehended pending an inquiry into the death of the wife and mother, who was found dead in bed, with a sus picious mark on her body. The bedding was saturated with blood, and Boyd's trousers were also marked with blood. Both husband and wife had been , chinking heavily. 091 100 too 100 all 100 100 104 I 105 4 5 Vi } .100 100 2 100 .100 ITIES, 104} 72 sovereign to bestow. For whatever the advantages I may have derived from the ancestry to which Mr. Blomfield has referred—those advantages of ancient birth rather serve to diminish any humble merit of mine ; and more honourable it is to the man of humble parentage who owes nothing to an cestry and all to himself. There are such in stances in the Peerage of England—instances in which the sons of tradesmen sit side by side with the descendants of the proudest chiefs who adorn the early pages of our history. Gentlemen, before I quit this subject, I wish earnestly to impress upon all the fellowmen I see around me that one of the principles belonging to this association is necessarily the strong desire to achieve independence. (Cheers.) Independence is at the root of all noble thoughts and of all worldly success. Independence of pecuniary obligations is not a mere vulgar desire of money, it connects itself with independence of character. For if a man has £lO,OOO a year, and if he feels he owes money that he cannot pay, he is really poor ; but if he earns only 12s. a week, and can pay his way, and lay by some trifle towards supporting his wife and children if illness should overtake him, he is rich ; and this is one reason why I so earnestly support the Odd Fellows and all societies that tend to create a spirit of independence. And lam per fectly certain, that if I had not early in life laid down as a principle rule--before I had lands, when I was young and unknown, if I hadnot laid it down as a principl e th at I would save something, however trifling, at the end of every year, I feel that I should not have attained to the honours which are about to be bestowed on me. (Hear.) I thank you for the kindness you have shown to me, and I hope, at least for some years to come that I shall continue to have the opportunity of meeting you on these oc casions. (Cheers.) An instrumental piece " The Hundred Pipers,' brilliantly played by Miss Campkin. Glee : " Oh happy, happy fair." Sir E. B. LYTTON said—Ladies and gentlemen,— I trespass on your attention once more ; and this time I have to perform a task peculiarly pleasing to me, because I wish you to give me your per mission to return, not only on my own behalf, but on behalf of all present, thanks to our excel lent rector, Mr. Blonifield, for his attendance this day. I think it of great importance at meetings of this kind, when we can secure the attendance and approval of a minister of the Esta blished Church of this country ; and I am sure that all here, whether Churchmen or not, must regard Mr. Blomfield's presence on this occasion with gratified feelings. (Cheers.) I know no town of a similar size to Stevenage that has made such great progress or exhibits marks of such decided improve ment within a few years ; and much of that improvement, and which I trust is not merely external, but also internal, is owing to the counsel, example, encouragement, and support we receive from our excellent rector. (Loud cheers.) It is a great pleasure you confer on me to allow me to return thanks on behalf of all present to Mr. Blomfield for his attendance and countenance this evening. (Cheers). The Rev. Canon BLO3IFIELD returned thanks, and said his attendance to-day was so obvious a duty that he considered all thanks were entirely unnecessary. He should be happy to attend under any circum stances that should bring together so agreeable a meeting of the inhabitants of the place ; but he felt it a peremptory duty to all to attend and show the respect he felt for their chairman, Sir Bulwer Lytton, and his gratitude for the kind support which his presence rendered to the Society. He felt doubly grateful to their Right Hon. Chairman for the kind terms in which he had spoken of him self ; it was a great deal to be praised by such a man. He was, perhaps, disposed to take too kindly a view of others. Being kindly disposed himself, he was disposed to t think well of all. He accepted Sir Edward's kind expressions with great gratitude ; and he accepted their acceptance of them with much gratification, and hoped to meet them all on a future occasion. (Cheers.) Poor-law Medical Officers. Last night a meeting of the metropolitan poor law medical officers was held in the Council-room of the Medical Benevolent College, Soho-square, for the purpose of organising an association to pro mote their claims, and that of the sick poor to more generous consideration at the hands of the public ; Dr. Rodgers, medical officer of the Strand Union, in the chair. Amongst those present were Dr. Rodgers, Dr. Dudfield, Mr. Eugene Goddard, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Godrich, Dr. Cotton, Mr. L. M. God dard, Mr. French, &c. Dr. Dudfield, the hon. sec retary, read a statement of what had been done since the first meeting of the association. An address, setting forth the objects of the association, hadbeen forwarded to all the poor-law medical officers of the metropolitan district, and had been answered by many of those gentlemen, and several of them, both union and district medical officers, had become members of the association. Dr. Rodgers stated the objects of the association, which were to procure better treatment of the sick poor, and to raise the scale of salaries of the medical officers. But though one of these objects was the latter, he hoped they would sink that in comparison to the former. (Hear, hear.) They were engaged in the noblest work they could be engaged in ; they were men of education and devoted to their work. (Hear.) What, therefore, they should ask for was increased means of doing their duty to the sick poor. The amount of their salary, which was admitted by Mr. Farnall, the Poor-law Inspector, to be quite inadequate, they would leave to the appreciation of the public. The revelations which had been made respecting the treatment of the sick poor in work houses excited a strong public feeling on this subject. Thepoor-law medical officers were not responsible for that treatment ; on the contrary, they did what they could to obtain more liberal treatment of the sick poor. (Hear, hear.) He thought that one of their objects should be to get the medicines for the poor , at the expense of the state, or rather of the Poor law Board. lie was glad to find that this recom mendation had the support of Mr. Farnall. The objects of the association were to obtain for the sick poor chargeable to the state the same treatment as was enjoyed by the sick poor in hospitals and kin dred institutions, to obtain life appointments for all poor-law medical officers, and entire, instead of par tial, payment of salaries from the Consolidated Fund, and thus to secure due recognition of their position as State servants, and greater freedom and indepen dence of action ; to provide a basis for consultation and united action in all cases of difficulty arising out of the nature and in the discharge of their duties ; to obtain an authoritative decision on all disputed questions relative to duties and extra medical fees ; to obtain from the local authorities provision of all medicines and appliances prescribed for the sick poor, and the appointing and payment of proper dispensers ; to address representations to the Poor-law Board, and generally to provide a channel through which all defects in the poor-law medical service might be brought to light. The objects and rules of the society were discussed and agreed to. Portions of the report of Mr. aB. Farnall, C. 8., the Metropolitan Poor-law Insp ector, relating to the duties, &c., of the workhouhse i is recom mendations _.cal officers, having been read, together with for the amelioration of their po sition, it was unanimously resolved " That this meeting, re presenting the Poor-law me dical officers of the p arate record ingmetropolitan district,ocf gratificationann without inspired by hi s their deep sense n o f their services." A vote of th an ks to the counc igen erous appreciatio n l of the Royal Medical Bene volent College for the use of their room terminated the proceedings.
