The barometer has fallen slightly along the East coast of England, in the west however a gradual rise is reported. Temperature, which this morning was as high as 59 degs. in London, is but little changed. The direc tion of the wind is northerly in England, and 'north easterly in Norway. The sky is still cloudy. The angry controversialists whose eager disputes about the theories of education are so seriously interfering, with its practice, are admirably satirised in this weak's Punch under the head of " obstructives." A. group of clerical gentlemen stand wrangling in the school house doorway, while Mr. Punch, with a boy and girl on either side, remonstrates with Bull A 1 :—" Yes, it's all very well to say 'go to school ! ' How are they to go to school with those people quarrelling in the doorway? Why don't you make 'em move on? ' The memorial stone of a new infirmary was laid on Tuesday at Kidderminster, by the Countess of Dudley. The day was observed as a holiday in the town, all the factories and mills being stopped, and all the shops shut, at least from eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The plans of the building are by Mr. Bland, of Birmingham, and the total cost will be about £9,000. A vast concourse of people attended the proceedings, and addresses were delivered by the Earl of Dudley, Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Worcester, Mr. Thomas Lea, M.P., and the leading public men in the borough. About 400 clerical and lay delegates assembled on Tuesday at a Church conference at Birmingham. The reading of a paper 133 r the Dean of Lichfield on Heresies in the Church," led to some remarks upon the reception given to Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen by leaders among the evangelical Nonconformists.. His warm reception was criticised, and some of the doctrines propounded by Chunder Sen were denounced as, parts of a system "which takes away entirely the glory from the Gospel." The proposed revision of the Bible was defended by the Rev. F. W. Wilkinson, and opposed by the Rev. J. C. Ryle because it was not asked for by the public, and be cause he feared it would " upset the belief and trouble the minds "of millions of Christians. He argued that if anything wanted revision it was the Prayer Book. During the discussion of this question, the evangelical brethren became so disorderly that it was suggrsted I that prayer should be offered for the purpose of restoring harmony. TIIE FRENCH PRESS ON LORD CLARENDON. The French papers refer with regret to the death of Lord Clarendon : The following is from the Patric :—Lord Clarendon was one of those diplomatists who place great questions of right and justice above possible international antipathies and mere party ideas. Towards France he has always ..shewed himself just and sympathetic, and on this ground we join our neighbours in regretting his death. The Temps says that Lord Clarendon represented Great -Britain at the Paris Congress, and was the most distin guished and complete type of English diplomacy. The Coristitutionnel declares that England has lost in him one of her most esteemed and honoured statesmen. The Liberte says that Lord. Clarendon's existence was too intimately connected with Contemporaneous history -for it to be summed up in a.few hasty lines. In the exer cise of his high functions he displayed a rare political sagacity, while he shewed a total forgetfulness of self, and an exceptional solicitude for all who were in distress. WIND-UP OF THE FASHIONABLE SEASON IN PARIS. The fashionable season of Paris is rapidly winding-up, and the last balls the last race, and final fetes are coming off in bewildering succession. The "petits cundis "of the Empress, which is the name of four very select balls given annually at the Tuileries by her Majesty, arid these usarliy ic ke - plate in April, have thiS y.ai• been diiferred, by various circumstances, to the present moment, and the second of the series was given on Monday. These pretty assemblages will conclude the festivities of the Palace for the year. In the beau monde the last ball of the season occurred on Friday at the Countess de Gabriac's, and the fact that it was the last rallied an immense con course of the indomitables whose thirst for gaiety seems unabated after the unbroken round of entertainments which have filled up the last five months. The season begins here with the new year and terminates with the great racing event of the year, called the Grand Prix de Paris, which comes off on the Bois de Boulogne the first Sunday in June. This is the signal for a general disper sion of the world of fashion which is scattered forthwith in all imaginable directions. Country houses and water ing places absorb.the greatest number. The most attrac tive feature in Paris just now especially for strangers, is the promenad e i n th e Bois de Boulogne, which in point of foliage surpasses our celebrated Central Park in New York, but in other respects is inferior. For instance, the rock scenery h ere is all artificial, while with us it is nature's own beautiful handiwork. From four o'clock to seven o'clock p.m. every day at this.fine season the display of equipages in this favourite resort is something almost indescribable for numbers, splendour, and taste. There is nothing like it elsewhere in the world. In London you see as many fine horses—for the English breed is not yet surpassed in France—but here the carriages are far more graceful in form and more elegant in, decoration. Besides, the Parisians are fonder of display than the sober-minded English, and hence the harness used for parade in the Park is richer in ornament, while footmen, coachmen, and postillions are got tip in a style that may be called gorgeous. But showy and brilliant as are the equipages, they do not constitute all the attractions of a drive in the Bois. The toilets of the ladies, resplendent in all the colours of the rainbow, , in homage to the advent of summer, and distinguished by that rare fancy and taste which makes Paris the throne of•fashion, to say nothing of the easy manner and graceful bearing of the ladies themselves—this is a phase of the sight to be seen in the " Central Park " Of Paris that is absolutely unap proachable in the wide world. Most of the carriages are drawn by two horses. Many pretty little " Victorisa " are content with one • but certain well-known lovers of 'horseflesh app ear daily with the pick of their stables in a carriage and four. Some are driven before a London " drag," but others are managed by two postillions it la Daumont. Of the latter class the best turnout is decidedly that of an American, well known on both sides of the water—Lewis Cass, son of the late Secretary of State. There is still another salient feature of 'these alluring gatherings in the " Bois," and that is the number of cele brities, not only o f P ar i s , but of all Europe. The promi nent member of the diplomatic body; the leaders of fashion widely k nown ; f ore i gn di gn it ar i e s and princes of European fame, not to speak of those glittering and ephe meral creatures, the Cynthias of the hour, who in Paris obtain notoriety not only by their splendour of toilet and equipage, but by elegance of manners and good taste in conception. —New York Herald, June 16. >.ar , THE TRAINING SHIP WARSPITE.—On Tuesday the Earl of Romney presided at the annual inspection of the Marine Society's boys on board the training-ship Warspite, off Woolwich. Up to the close of last year the number of lads who had been provided for through the agency of this organisation was 56,276. A Vienna telegram of the Eastern Budget says that the majority of the candidates who have been elected for the Diets are strongly in favour of the maintenance of the constitutional system, and inclined to adopt a conci liatory policy towards the nationalities. The necessity for a new system of education was strikingly illustrated in the course of a case heard in the Salford Police Court the other day. It was found that two girls, 13 and 14 years of age, who had been grossly assaulted, could not be allowed to give evidence for the prosecution, because they were utterly ignorant of the meaning of right or wrong, did not know what lying was, and did not know what would happen to them if they did not speak the truth. Owing to this lamentable state of things the prisoner had to be discharged, as there was not sufficient collateral evidence to warrant a convic tion. THE ANTECEDENTS OF THE BRIXTON BABY FARMERS.—Some important information was' received yesterday fin reference to the antecedents of Margaret Waters and Sarah Ellis, the two women now in custody charged with neglecting to provide proper food and nourishment for several infants placed under their' care, whereby the children's lives were endangered. Their maiden name is said to be Forth, and their friends are said to be in good circumstances, residing at Bingley, near Leeds, Yorkshire. About the 16th of February the two prisoners lived at No. 15, Bournemouth-road, Peckham. They suddenly left, leaving the rent unpaid, and tradesmen's bills unsettled. For four days they lived at 1, Boston-cottages, John-street, South ampton-street, Camberwell, and then suddenly left. Next, in a house close by Clapham Junction, where they only remained a week ; then in Lockington-road, York-road, Battersea. From there they went to No. 4, Frederick; terrace, where their " baby-farm " was discovered. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY.—Vice- Chancellor James had before him yesterday the case of Salisbury v. the Metropolitan Railway Company, in which the plaintiff, a shareholder, sought to restrain the directors from paying dividends out of capital, and to compel them to repay the amount alleged to have been illegally taken for the purpose of paying past dividends. The Vice-Chancellor said it appeared to him that the plaintiff was entitled to a decree with costs. He con sidered this to be a mere fictitious mode of estimating the value of the property, and that the increased estimate never ought to have been inserted in the accounts. His Honour said he thought it a direct, plain, and wilful violation of the Act of Parliament ' • and there would be declarations to the effect that the dividends had been improperly paid, and an order that the balance so erro neously distributed should be made good personally by the directors (except the secretary), with 4 per cent. in terest ; without prejudice to their right to recover the amount over from the company, and the cost of the suit. He did not consider an injunction necessary. MOBBING THE MIRACLE WORHER.—Yesterday morning, at half-past nine, an immense crowd assembled in front of Dr. Burn's Chapel in New Church-street, the scene of the disturbance caused by Dr. Newton and his " miracles " on the preceding day. Handbills were cir culated amongst the people denouncing Dr. Newton as an " impudent charlatan, who had been ridiculed out of his own country," and exhorting the people not to allow their afflicted friends to be tortured by an impostor, and not to assist in desecrating the house of 4 God by taking part in any of the " numbo jumbo antics" played in it by the doctor. Some half-dozen cabs and carts arrived with patients, and a considerable number of per sons, more or less crippled, were conducted into the chapel by their friends. Comparatively few spectators were admitted during the service, and when Dr. Newton left the chapel he had to slip out by a back way, and jump into a cab. He was, however, discovered by the mob, and a cry was made to turn the cab over. Had it aot been for the exertions of a sergeant of police and two con stables, it would have gone hard with the " miracle worker," who, however, maraged, with their aid, even tually-to make his escape. NAZARETH lioUsx.-- Yesterday a meeting was held at Nazareth House, Hammersmith, in favour of such an alteration of the law of the rating of charities as would ensure the exemption of this and similar charitable insti tutions. The chair was taken by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and there was a large attendance of noblemen and gentlemen, including Earl of Granard, Bishop Morris, Monsignor Capel, Earl of Portarling-ton, Lord ' Clifford, Lord George Lennox, Sir Robert Gerrard. Sir Charles Clifford, Rev. Derby Read, M.A., Rev. T. Graham, Rev. M. O'Keeffe, Rev. C. Cadogan, Colonel Toley, Dr. O'Connor, Major Trevor, &c. A motion wn was made by Sir Robert Gerard, that the meeting had heard with regret of the steps taken by the local authorities, and that a change in the law ought to be made. Monsignor Capel seconded the motion, and thought the vestry in the execution of its duty had Rev. been a little harsh. The resolution was su pp orted by the Earl of G D.

CHARLES DICKENS Mr. Blanchard Jerrold contributes an article on the late Charles Dickens to the new number of the Gentle men's Magazine. The following are extracts : Slow to adopt a cause, Charles Dickens was the first in the battle for it when he had espoused it. He had the qualities of the perfect trooper as well as the far-seeing captain. I have a letter of his about Italy, dated 1844, in which, amid hearty gossip, he turns to a cause that was dear to him at the time. " Come and see me in Italy," he says to my father. " Let us smoke a pipe among the vines. I have taken a little house surrounded by them, and no man in the world should be more welcome to it than you." Writing from the South, when he was about to travel to London with the MS. of " The Christmas Carol," (more than a quarter of a century ago) to read it to a few friends in Mr. John 'orster's chambers in Lincoln's Inn Fields, he observed of the book, " I have tried to strike a blow on that part of the brass tountenance of wicked Cant where such compliment is sorely needed at this time. And I trust that the result of my training is at least the exhibition of a strong desire to make it a stag gerer. If you should think at the end of the four rounds (there are no more) that the said Cant, in the language of Bell's Life,' comes up piping,' I shall be ver y much the better for i t." Dickerfs abhorred a sham with his whole soul. When he published his " Child's History of Eng land," the mass took it for granted that the, chapters which were appearing in the columns of " Hatiffehold Words " were so much copy, and that the writing of it for his own-children wee -only a commcm, and to the world, w .-!,,rmitr4ble artistic fiction. Such fiction was not possible to the greatest fiction writer of our century. I have his words before me, on this history ; and the ink is yellowing fast. " I am writing a little history of England for my bon which I will send you when it is printed for him, though your boys are too old to profit by him ( It is curious that I have tried to impress upon upon him (writing,.l dare say, at the same moment with you) the exact spirit of yovr paper" (" The Preacher Parrot.") There is a manuscript the world knows nothing about this day; and yet which has been for many years in existence, and in circulation am ong those who were native to the author's hearth. The Life of our Saviour wa s written by Charles Dick Thee guide the hearts of his c hildren ; and if ever a labour of love was done by that most affectionate naturc, t n his was p r eeminently it. By the eloq uent pages that ow will shortly be put within the reach of every English and American household, the children of Charles Dickens were taught their first lessons of Christian love and Christian chivalry. There was that boy-element in Charles Dickens which hag been so often remarked in men of genius, as to appear as almost inseparable from the highest gifts of nature. " Why, we played a game of knock'em down only a week or two ago, " a friend has remarked to me with brim ming eyes. "And he shewed all the old, astonishing energy and delight, in taking aim at Aunt Sally." My own earliest recollections of Charles Dickens are of his gayest moods ; when the boy in him was exuberant, and leap-frog or rounders were not sports too young for the player who had written " Pickwick " twenty tears before. To watch him t hrou g h an afternoon, by turns light and grave ;• gracious, and loving and familiar to the young • apt and vigorous in council with the old ; re ady for a frolic upon the lawn, as ready for a committee meeting in the library, and then to ca tch his cheery good-night, and feel the hand that spoke so truly from the heart—was to see Charles Dickens the man, the friend, the companion and the counsellor all at once, and to get at something like a jut estimate of that which was beautiful in the brilliant and noble Englishman we have lost. The sweet and holy lessons which he presented to humanity out of the humble places in the world, could not have 'b c een than evolvedh is out of a nature less t r ue and sympatheti as. Dickens had come to regard all men and women so thoroughly and exclusively on account of their moral, intellectual, and spiritual worth ; that he was at home with all kinds of society, in the highest and in the humblest walks. So that it is easy to picture him standing in a drawing-room at Windsor Castle, one arm just resting upon the sofa, and talking in his quiet, earnest manner to the first lady in the land. There would not be the least shadow of nervousness in him ; so grea w c which his trained brain and heart had given him, in the presence of humanity of every degree, under every con ceivable circumstance, by the throne, or facing thousands of his countrymen who loved him, one and all, so well. The best of men • That e'er wore earth about him, was a sufferer A soft, meek, patient, humble, tranquil spirit; The first true gentleman that ever breathed. I had met him about the middle of May, at Charing cross, and had remarked that he had aged very much in appearance. The thought-lines of his face had deepened, and the hair had whitene d. Indeed, as he approached me, I thought for a moment I was mistaken, and that it could not be Dickens ; for that was not the vigorous, rapid walk, with the stick lightly held in the alert hand, which had always belonged to him. It was he, however ; but with a certain solemnity of expression in the face, and a deeper earnestness in the dark eyes. However, when he saw me and shook my hand, the delightful brightness and sunshine swept over the gloom and sadness ; st and he about spoke cheerily, in the old kin d way—not in the lea himself—but about my doings, about Dore, about London 3 as a subject (and who knew-it'half so well as he, in all its . highways and byeways?), about all that could interest me that occurred to him at the moment. This month's Belgravia contains a short article by Mr. William Sawyer, on "The Pickwick Papers." The follow. ing extract will be read with general interest : " Only by slow degrees did it ooze. out and become known to the world at large that Boz' was Charles Dickens. His reception by the public moved the author to issue with No. .10, in December 1836, a brief address ; and as this does not appear in any edition of the work — not being intended to be bound up with it—we offer a copy a copy as a relic or curiosity of literature : " ' Ten months have now elapsed since the appearance of the first number of the " Pickwick Papers." At the close of the year, and the conclusion of half his task, their author may, perhaps, without any unwarrantable intru sion on the notice of the public, venture to say a few words of himself. " He has long been desirous to embrace the first opportunity of announcing that it is his intention work to to adhere to his original pledg e of confining this twenty numbers.. He has every_temptation to exceed the limits he first assigned to himself that brilliant success, an an en ormous and increasing sale, the kindest notice, and the most extensive popularity c hold out. They all, one and all, sad temptations to an author • but he has determined to resist them; firstly, because 'he wishes to keep the strictest faith with his readers : and, secondly, because he is most anxious that when the " Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club " form s a complete work, the book may not have to contend agat the heavy disad vantage of being prolonged beyond his original plan. " For ten months longer, then, if the author be per mitted to retain his health and spirits, the "form,k Pickwick P a p ers " will be issued in their present d will then be completed. By what fresh adven tures they may b e succeeded is no m atter for p r esent consideration. The author merely hints that he has strong reason to believe that a great variety of other documents still lie hidden in the repository from which these were taken, and t hat they may one day see the light. " With this short speech Mr. Pickwick's behal Stage Manager makes his most g rateful bow, adding, on f of himself and publishers, what the late eminent Mr. John Richardson, of Horsemonger-lane, Southwark, and the yellow caravan with they rass knocker, always said in behalf of himself and compy at the close of every per formance : Ladies and gentlemen, for these marks of your favour we beg to return you our sincere thanks ; and allow us to inform you that we shall keep perpetually going on beginning again, regularly, until the end of the fair.' ear that about the May or J une of the " It would app next year, 1837, the appearance of the work was interrupted. How this happened—how one so methodical in all his ar rangements could have suffered anything to interfere with the publication of such a work—Mr. Dickens's biographers w ill probably explain. A ll the explanation the author ga ve was comprised in t he following address which, sent out with the July number : " 186, Strand, June 30th, 1837. " The author is desirous to take the opportunity afforded him by his resumption of this work to state once again, what he thought had been stated sufficiently emphatically before, namely, that its publication was i nterru pted by a severe domestic affliction of no ordinary kind, that this was the sole cause of the non-appearance of the present number in the usual course, and that hence forth it will continue to be published with its accustomed regularity. However superfluous this second notice may appear to many, it is rendered necessary by various idle speculations and absurdities, which have been industriously propagated during the past month, which have reached the author's ears from many quarters, and have pained him exceedingly. By one set of intimate acquaintances, especially well-informed, he has been killed outright ; by another, driven mad ; by a third, imprisoned for debt ; by a fourth, sent, per steamer, to the United States ; by a fifth, rendered -incapable of mental exertion for evermore; by all, in short, represented as doing any thing but seek ing in a few weeks' retirement the restoration of that cheerfulness and peace of which a sad bereavement had temyrarily deprived him." n the same number appeared a curious `Notice to Correspondents,' which has now a singular interest : " We receive every month an immense number of communications, purporting to be ' suggestions' for the Pickwick Papers.' We have no doubt that they are forwarded with the kindest intentions ; but as it is wholly out of our power to make use of of any such hints, and as we really have no time to peruse anonymous letters, we hope the writers will henceforth spare themselves a great deal of unnecessary and useless trouble."' ILLNESS OF GARIBALDI.—A Naples journal pub lishes some information respecting Garibaldi from a recent visitor to Caprera. The general was suffering from pains in his loins, and for some days had been unable to stir from his couch. His vines, planted with his own hand, had yielded him an excellent harvest, and his land under cultivation had become fertile enough to maintain about 300 bead of cattle and sheep. - A Now published, 'FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR." A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER. PRICE 353. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary , but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is exploring. Fm intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be-welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advanthgre of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageablenegs of bulk." — Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. -Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious'collector of facts, and an eloquent and 'graphic writer, • and 'dos ample justice to his subjects." — Yorkshire Post. _ "It deserved a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been hi search Of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . Altogether the book is one to carry hi one's knapsack or va . lise during the happy time of ,our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant rernembrancer." " Fjord, isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."•,--Globe. . " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of spacewasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to-the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to back ' Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well 'got up: " Eastern Morning. News. We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general - public. . . .

PRICE Id STAMPED 2d. THE ADULT BLIND. His Serene Highness the Prince of Teck presided over a large and fashionable meeting, held on Wednesday, at Hanover-square Rooms, for the purpose of celebrating the seventh anniversary of the establishment of the Alexandra Institution for the Adult Blind, of which her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales is the patroness. We gather from the report that there are 30,000 blind in the United Kingdom, the majority being past the middle age; and of the twenty-five institutions established for their benefit, and which only accommodate 2,000, nearly the whole of them are devoted to the young. The Alex andra Institute provides homes for the adult blind of all England, who cannot be accommodated elsewhere, gives industrial trtining to those who are too old to enter schools, and employs those who, after leaving school, would otherwise be thrown on the parishes or their friends. Considerable progress has been made in the good work, and the sales effected have very much increased, but funds are still urgently required to enable the promo ters to extend its sphere of usefulness.—Lord Wharncliffe said that in a social sense there could be no doubt of the desirability that those whom God had caused to suffer from the worst of all, afflic tions should be assisted to contribute towards their own support instead of being obliged to submit to a life of idleness. Morally and spiritually considered, the importance of instructing the blind was also beyond ques tion. The institution aimed at the assistance of these chiefly who by illness or accident were deprived of sight, and who weer therefore even greater sufferers than those who were blind from their birth. One important matter had forced itself upon him. A bill for the education of the people was now before the country, and he was not aware that any provision was contained in it which would enable the ratepayers to afford any assistance to schools for the education of the blind. Rates for the purpose of educating the people would be levied throughout the kingdom, and yet not one penny would be available for the education of the blind. Why 30,000 of _ our most unhappy fellow creatures who were unable to help themselves, should thus be deprived of the benefits which would be extended to those who were not so afflicted, he was at a loss to cqnceive. He thought it would be very desirable that they should combine and endeavour to enforce upon the Legislature the necessity of inserting a clause in the bill which should have the effect of remedy ing the omissionhe had pointed out. Professor Fawcett, M.P., who is blind, Mr. J. W. Pease, M.P., Mr. R. N. Fowler, M.P., Ca,nort Niabett, and others addressed the meeting, and resolutions commending the institution to public support were passed. A BRIGAND'S LAST LETTER. Mr. Berkeley Thompson has sent to the paper the following translation of a letter Wfitten by a brigand, lately executed in Greece, to his brother, and published in the Phos : " Brother Nicolaki, I salute you. My brother, I enjoin you to give fifty drachmas to the church of St. Pa,raskevi, in the village of Limogarthi ; also to St. John of Palechori thirty drachmas ; give a gallon of oil to the church of Neochori, and a gallon of oil to St. Nicholas of Divri. Give a gallon of oil to the Virgin of Xerio tissa ; and when you return to our native place give to the poor all you choose for the salvation of my soul. My brother, I leave you my. blessing ; but my curse if - instead of returning to our own village, you remain on this soot. Write first to our mother, andi tell her that I _ - the ; but do not tell her that I die this i g nominous death. Do not leave ray baby in this place, but wrap him up and carry him to our mother. Take care not to give him up to anyone else • and if my wife is determ ined not to marry again, take 'her also to our home, and treat her as your sister, because I chrish the sweet hope that she will not marry again • but should she desire to do so, do not take away die silver ornaments - that I gave her, or any thing else, but only the wedding ring which bears my name. Make a garland, write my name upon it, and with it crown the head of St. Nicholas in our church. Do not quarrel on account of the disputed cattle with Yannakf Founta, or else his curse will follow me, but take for settlement whatever he chooses to give you. Do what you like with the cows that I have at Divri. If my wife wishes to marry, give her what you like. Do not be such a madman as to quarrel with our enemies, or you would ruin altogether our father's name. On the contrary, wherever you meet them bow to them graciously, because I forgave them, and God alone will judge them. When I was a lad I robbed from the Church the holy books of Father Veta, and he cursed me — therefore you must find a priezt, a-1d bring him to my grave to bless it, otherwise I am afraid that my body will not be changed. When you return to our village give a banquet to all my mates to celebrate my marriage, as they were not present at it ; and if it ever passes through your mind to injure any of those who tried me, I leave you my curse, that you may come to the same shameful end as myself. If you do not intend to return to our birthplace, take care of my child and treat him as your own ; and execute faithfully all that I command you here. Try if you can take possession of my body, and bury it near that of our master at Zimogarthi, but if you cannot obtain my body at least try to take my head. If you succeed in getting my body, and you bury it as I order you, place a tombstone with my name over it, and if you remain two or three years in our native place, take my bones into your house. When you meet ragged beg gars, receive them, and assist them as much as you can, otherwise God will not permit the salvation of my soul. Ask my godmother, also Miss Vasili k4, and all the ser vants, to forgive me, from their hearts, and ask Father Athanasi to come personally to my grave, and pronounce a long benediction over it ; and, besides, ask all the peasants of Limogarthi to forgive me also, from the bottom of their hearts. I left my watch with Mr. Rizo- Manoli. Go to him, and give twenty-eight drachmas. Sell your own, and take mine as a keepsake. Write to the mother of Costa, and also to Athanasi Millio, whom I injured, to forgive me. I left in the house of our master two muskets. Take them, sell them, and give the proceeds to the poor, for the salvation of my soul. I salute you sweetly, and as a brother, and I remain, your dead brother, " THOMAS lOANNOU." The Bishop of London is about to sign the moni tions drawn up against certain Ritualists in the diocese of London, and that they will be issued forthwith. The flags over the public buildings at Liverpool were lowered half-mast on Friday, in token of respect to the memory of the late Foreign Secretary. The Eastern Bud get says that the distinction just conferred by the Emperor of Austria on Count Beust is to a certain extent without precedent. There are several cases in Austrian history where eminent men who have deserved well of their country have been permitted to quarter the arms of Austria with their own, but no case is yet known of the arms of Hungary having ever been quar tered with those of a private family. The Daily News remarks that there are many instances in the peerage in which families whose heads occupy antagonistic positions in politics are bound to gether by matrimonial ties. Earl Percy, the heir to the dukedom of Northumberland, is the son-in-law of the Duke of Argyll. The Duchess Dowager of Nor thumberland is a sister of the Marquis of West minster. The eldest son of Viscount Halifax is married to the only daughter of the Eal 1 of Devon. The eldest daughter of Earl Russell is married to a son of General Peel. The Duchess of Abercorn is nearly related to the Duke of Bedford. One of her Grace's daughters is married to the Earl of Lichfield, a second to the Earl of Durham, a third to the Earl of Dalkeith, eldest son of the Duke of Buccleuch, a fourth to the Earl of Mount-Edgcumbe, a fifth to the Marquis of Blandford, eldest son of the Duke of Marl borough, and a sixth to the Marquis of Landsdowne. The sons-in-law of the Duke of Abercom are, therefore, equally divided in political opinions. CAPTAIN EYRE OF THE BOMBAY.—The fruitless efforts made by Captain Eyre, of the steamship Bombay, to obtain a reversal of the sentence pronounced upon him for his conduct towards the United States corvette Oneida, at the time of the collision, have been duly recorded ,in a Parliamentary paper. The Peninsular and Oriental Company addressed a letter, on the 13th of May, to the Secretary of the Board of Trade empatically dissenting from the conclusions arrived at by the Board. It will be remembered that so far from accepting the explanations offered by Captain Eyre, the Board declared his sentence to be too lenient rather than too severe, and that he not only disregarded professional obligations, but the dictates of common humanity. Following this comes a lengthened statement from Captain Eyre himself, in which he regrets not having been offered an opportunity of appearing before the Board, and cites several passages from the evi dence given at Yokohama, supporting his view of the case. In conclusion he hopes the board will review the decision of the naval court, or at least withdraw the expression of its adverse opinion, giving him credit for ordinary humanity as well as for seamanship. In this hope he is disappointed. The board in a letter dated June 2, points out that any further investigation would be irregular and contrary to the usual practice, In a case of such importance, if it could have been shewn that the evidence had not been fully taken or that material facts had been subsequently brought to light, the board would have endeavoured to do substantial justice. This, how ever, is not the case. There are no new facts, and the evidence cited by Captain Eyre has already been com mented on and considered., The Board therefore distinctly declines to re-open the case. [ADVERTISEMENT. —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Healing not harmful.—No application has met with the same universal approbation for curing all external ail ments as that which this unguent has received. Sores, deep ulcers, foetid discharges, burns, blistered surface, and many similar affections are at once soothed and put on the road to soundness by Holloway's Ointment: With his Ointment and Pills the wealthy may save themselves much suffering, and the poor may help themselves to • health, since these medicaments are reasonable in price, and can be purchased in every hamlet. They have effected cures of stiff, swelled legs, and lacerated limbs, and opened out the prospect of a happy future after hope of recovery had been given up. _ _. ~, :, _ r;l.
