A BOOK FOR TOURISTS I 1 NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER. PRICE 38. "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. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness 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 does ample justice to his subjects." — Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." -sue, " Fjord, .1 ale, 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."—Globt. • " 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 space wasted 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 cheater 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 stee, 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. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."--Western Mail. " The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants-- reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

The company was formed with e, capital of £40,000 for the purpose of purchasing land and carrying on a copper mining business in West Australia. A con siderable number of shares were ta ken up, but it was eventually discovered by the petitioners that all the paid up capital had been spent, that the business had alto gether ceased, and that the company was dee p l y in debt. Nothing, in reality, had , over been done, and the com pany now had no tegistOred offices. There was no oppo sition to the petition, and a winding-up order NraS accord ingly given. THE TAILORS' STRIKE.—Two journeymen tailors, named Flyun and Macarthy, have been charged, at Marlborough-street, with conspiring, and also with assaulting a tailoress, named Marion Davis. The facts of the case have been already before the public , en d it will be remembered that it took its origin in the tailors' strike at Cork. The prosecution expressed a wil lingness that the prisoners should be released on their own recognisances. The magistrate said they were very leniently dealt with, though they were not the originators of the illegal movement. If the prosecution were severely pressed, the pri toners might depend upon it they would meet with little mercy. They were then released, after being bound over in £2O each. LARKING BY A LADY. —A stylishly dressed female, who gave the name and address of Alice Hamilton, Austin House, Portland-place, Regent's-park, was charged before Mr. Benson, at the Marlborough-street Police Court, with wilfully breaking a carriage window, the property of Mr. Henry Calls, a jobmaster. From the evidence of Mr. M. Wilson, coachman to Mr. Cates, it appeared that he was waiting in Regent-street, with a landau for some persons he had taken to a ball at Willis's Rooms, when the pri soner came up and said, " I am in here," and pulled the door violently open, breaking the glass and also injuring the sash. The prisoner said she was merely having a lark. She caught hold of the door, gave a pull, and down it came. Mr. Benson fined the lady ss. EMIGRANT CHILDREN.—A curious scene took place at Worship-street Police-court, when ten poor children were examined prior to being sent out as emigrants. Under the Act of Parliament each child under. the age of sixteen must be examined by a justice of the peace as to his or her willingness to emigrate. The children in this case were either orphans or deserted by their parents, all of them being girls under the age of fourteen. They had been found wandering about without home or visible means of support, and it was now proposed to send them out to Canada, under the care of Miss Rye. Provision was made for them in that country. Mr. Ellison put the question to each child, asking her if she was willing to go to Canada. The answers being uniformly in the affirmative, Mr. Ellison signed the neces sary papers, and in a few days the children will be on their way to America. SOFTLY GETTING INTO TROUBLE. —At the Marylebone Police-court, Thomas Softly, aged 24, a horse-keeper, was charged with assaulting a policeman. At an carly hour in the morning the prisoner was with some women in the Adelaide-road, Hampstead, shouting and making use of very bad language. The policeman told him to be quiet, and Softly then struck him a violent blow on the right eye. Another man also struck him. The prisoner then knocked him down, and whilst on the ground kicked him several times on the head, causing blood to flow from his nose and mouth. Softly then ran away, and the policeman after , getting on his feet and springing his rattle fell down insensible fr6m loss of blood. Another policeman saw the prisoner running away and stopped him. Mr. Mansfield said it was a ruffianly and cowardly assault, and he would use the full powers vested in him under the Habitual Criminals Act. He sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour. A MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN. —A rough looking fellow, named Thomas Softly, aged 24, residing at 34e, Middlesex-street, Somers-town, horsekeeper, was charged, at the Marylebone Police-court, with violently . assaulting Thomas Sasgeant, 325 S, in the execution of his duty. The officer when he got into the witness-box ap peared very weak and faint, and his face was much bruised and his eyes blackened. He said that at an early hour in the morning he saw the p r iso n e r in Adelaide-road, Hampstead. The prisoner struck him a violent blow on the right eye. Another man who was with the prisoner also struck him a severe blow. The prisoner then knocked him down, and while on the ground, kicked him several times on his head, causing blood to flow from his nose and mouth. Prisoner now admitted striking the officer. Mr. Mansfield said it was a ruffianly assault,and he would use the power vested in him under the Habitual Criminal Act. He would order him to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six months. SERIOUS CASE OF CARELESS DRIVING.—William Walker, cab driver 10,704 was charged at Westminster Police court, on Saturday, with being drunk in his employment as hackney carriage driver, doing wilful damage, and furiously driving. The driver of a van belonging to Mr. Morgan, of Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, who had a rut on his face and seemed hardly able to walk, said at half-past eleven last night he was driving towards home on his right side of She road, when the defendant came along on his wrong side and ran into him ; he was knocked off the van and hurt very much. Mr. Morgan said the damage could not yet be calculated, as there were a qaantity of eggs in the van ; the cab had the shaft broken, and had not his horse been struck on the collar he must have been killed ; the man was extricated with difficulty from beneath the horse, and the horse kicked him in the eye. The prisoner's master said he had been a cab man 20 years, and was well conducted ; he had driven for him seven months, and he never knew him misconduct him self. He had undertaken to pay Mr. Morgan the extent of the damage. Mr. Elliot fined the defendant 405., or in default of payment a month's hard labour. - DRIVING TOO FAST.-At the Westminster police-court William Walker, a cab driver, was charged with being drunk, doing wilful damage, and furiously driving. The driver of a van belonging to Mr. Morgan, egg merchant, of Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, said at half-vast eleven on Friday night he was driving home on his right side of the road, when the defendant came along on his wrong side and ran into him. He was thrown off the van and hurt very much. Mr Morgan said the damage could not yet be calculated, as there were egg chests in the van; the cab had the shaft broken, and had not his horse been struck on the collar he must have been killed. A person who wit nessed the accident said that there were three ladies in tab, and they were screaming out for,the cabman to slacken his pace. He was going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour and was drunk. Prisoner's master said he had been a cabman twenty years, and was well conducted. With regard to the pace of the horse, it was fourteen years old and three parts worn out, and could not do more than seven miles an hour at a trot. Mr. Elliott fined the de. fendant 405., or in default of paymant a month's hard labour. SHAMEFUL ROBBERY OF A SEAMAN.—Patrick Kelly and Michael 'Macarthy, two well-known and desperate thieves, were charged, at the Thames Police Court, on Saturday, with stealing £lB from the person of John Brooks, a seaman, on thel6th of August, 1869. It appeared from the evidence that Brooks was paid off at Green's Sailors' Home, Poplar, on the day named. He received notes and gold. He com menced drinking very freely when he received his money, and went into the Wades Arms public-house, at the back of the Home. The prisoners followed him into the house. The landlord refused to serve either of the prisoners, and turned them out, and particularly cautioned the sailor against the prisoners. The prosecutor had not proceeded many yards from the public-house before the prisoner accosted him and hustled him into a back street. Kelly pinioned him from behind, while Macarthy rifled his pockets, and took his purse and money from his trousers pocket. They knocked down their victim and made their escape. The sailor has since made another voyage to Sidney, and on his return sought for the villains who robbed him of the hard earnings of a former voyage. The pri soners were apprehended by R. Lamb andJ. Owen, police men of the K division, near Green's Sailors' Home, where they had been'in the habit of infesting since the robbery. They knew their victim had gone to sea, and were safe, and did not expect their victim would return. When Lamb captured Kelly he was put beside 20 others, and picked out by the sailor immediately. The prisoners were committed for trial. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY EIGHT.—The Dublin University is this year going to send an eight-oared crew to Henley Regatta. Our only surprise is that it long ago done so. Cork, a few years since, sent an excel lent crew over to London, and last year Harvard College sent a four across the Atlantic to contest the laurels of victory with Oxford. It is quite time that Dublin came forward to spew that it too can hold its own. We know that Dublin has many disadvantages to contend with. The Liffey is often rough and gusty, still there are plenty of days when an outrigger can be used with perfect safety, still more when practice in a tub eight can be carried on. We hear that the crew are going well, and row with good swing and a quiet steady catch. They are rather a light crew, which is unfortunate, for ceteris pari bus, a heavy crew will beat a light one ; still this is by no means an insuperable obstacle to their victory. The London Rowing Club have won the grand challenge cup at Henley with a lighter crew than that which will row in the Dublin colours. Still we confess that we do not expect them to win. It can hardly be hoped that at this their first ap pearance they will beat their more experienced rivals, even should they confine themselves, as they hear will be the case, to one of the events for which the crack crews are not allowed to. enter. Our reason for saying this is founded upon no belief in the physical inferiority of Irish men Englishmen, nor to any question as to the skill of the crew coming over ; it is based solely upon the fact that the crew are still practising in their tub boat, and will not get into their racing craft until they reach gen ley.—New Ireland.

" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a teat-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers.

DROUGHT IN FRANCE.—In Nasbinals, a district of France, where no rain has fallen for three months, there is great distress from the drought. The cattle have been attacked by an epidemic disease of the throat which has caused great ravages among them. They are unable to eat, and die of inanition. If the rain be much longer delayed the mortality among the beasts will it is feared, become disastrous. A PROFESSIONAL IIitJEDERED.—The Paris corres pondent of the Daily Telegraph, writing on Thursday, says :—A fearful murder was committed last night in the Rue Pigalle, a street very much affected by young ladies of questionable morality.. One of these frail sisters was heard groaning by the neighbours. They broke the door open, and found her with her throat cut. The murderer was still in the room, but jumped out at the window into the street, and broke his thigh. It is supposed that he is the man who murdered several of the Anonyma tribe two or three years ago, but who had hitherto succeeded in evading arrest. ECONOMY.—We have gained money by the unjust dismissal of some thousands of dockyard men, resulting in their starvation, and in that of their families, but we have lost £272,000, it is calculated, by the sale of Dept ford dockyard. Put one sum against the other, and what have we realised that will go to the extent of calming our consciences, as a nation, for giving way to the cruel fit of parsimony upon the part of the Admiralty. Any book-keeper will say we have lost about .C 272,000 by the transaction; any gentleman, our honour.—Court Journal. COMNI:AND OF THE TROOPS IN IRELAND.—Lord Strathnairn's term of office as Commander of the Forces in Ireland will expire on the 30th inst., but his lordship left Dublin on the 25th inst. for London.

Major- General Sir Arthur Cunynghame, K.C.8., having pro ceeded on leave of absence, the command of the Dublin division has devolved on Major-General Borton, C. 8., until his return. TROOPS FOR IRELAND.—Nothing has been arranged with regard to the regiments to be sent to Ireland during the winter and autumn in relief of those corps which embark for India ; but we understand that, should the usual number, five, be required for the service, the five will be the 2nd Battalion 6th Royals, at Newport ; 9Sth Regiment, at Newcastle-on-Tyne i97th Regiment, at Dover ; 34th Regiment, at Shornchff ; and 2nd Battalion sth Fusiliers, at Glasgow; the depots of the Ist Battalion 6th, 31st, 76th, 96th, and Ist Battalion sth, of course, proceeding with them.—Army and Navy Gazette. DEATH OF AN OFFICER OF THE 'FIRST FRENCH REPUBLIC.—On Tuesday last General Viscount Lehardy, a veteran of the first French Republic, died at Saint Joss 6 ten Noode. The general was in his 89th year, and has served from 1798 to 1814 in nearly all the wars which France, of which Belgium was at the time a part, had waged with the Powers of Europe. In 1815 he was a lieutenant-colonel of cavalry, and served in that capacity at Waterloo in the Dutch Belgian army, being oigLe of those nearest to the Prince of Orange when his royal highness was wounded. On the revolution of 1830 lie resigned his post as colonel commanding the staff, and was then ap pointed general, and placed in command of Antwerp, the citadel of which city was then occupied by the Dutch. At the close of the year he retired from the service, in consequence of being arraigned for aiding in a popular manifestation against certain tendencies to Orangeism among those about the regent. One result of the trial was to upset the Ministry. From 1849 to 1860 he resided in the United States, and returned to his own country in consequence of the blindness of one of his sons. JUNE 27, 1870, THE ARMY AND NAVY. The Army and Navy Gazette says :—Major-General H. Cooper would seem to be the most likely officer for the colonelcy of the 46th Regiment; vacant by the death of Lieutenant-General Napier.—Captain G. M. Cardew, 67th Regiment,. will succeed Captain R.

ME BENEFIT BUILDING SOCIETIES' BILL. At the Westminster Falace Hotel: a conference of dele gates, representing the majority of fhe large towns in the north of England, was held in order to consider what steps should be taken with reference to the measure now before the House of COMMOII3 of consolidating and amending' the law relating to Benefit Building Societies. Mr. Gourley, M.P., occupied the chair; and Mr. Dodds, M.P., and Mr. Stevenson, I\LP., were amongst those present. Mr. Dodds, who has given notice to refer the Bill to a Select committee, explained that his reason for doing so was to ensure effective legislation. He thought the Govern ment might be induced to appoint a Royal Conamission to inquire into the operation of Friendly Societies gene rally. Borrowing powers ought, in his opinion, to be conferred upon Building Societies, but they should not, as proposed by the bill, be unlimited. He objected to the admission of minors into such societies, for, if one were admitted, a hundred must ; and it would prove dan gerous, especially if those persons po ssessed unlimited borrowing powers. The difficulty in settling titles to property might to some extent be prevented by the adoption of a proper system of registration. The bill did not make adequate provision for the prevention of fraud by officers of the edcletk, and a select committee might be able to supply the deficien6y: Several of the delegates addre ssed the meeting, and it was generally believed that legislation on the question ought to be immediate ; the law at the present tiiiie was so anomalous in consequence of recent legal decisions that delay might prove dangerous. Mr. Dodds did not pledge himself to withdraw his amendment. Numerous, verbal alterations were sugg ested b y the delegates in the clauses of the bill as it now stands, and the meeting then separated. WORK AND WORKHOUSES: — At the Tobias borough police court, on Wedesday, an able-bodied man, who gave his name as &rams Malcolm, aged' 24, was charged with refusing to work at the Totnes Workhouse. He stated to the Bench, who sentenced him to fourteen days' har d labour, that he had never worked in his life, and that he never intended to do so. During the last five years he had been travel about, and had visited nearly every workhouse in the country. A. MONUMENT TO DICKENS.—The idea has been started of a monument in our great park to Charles Dickens. If his numerous friends and admirers desire it, let them get it up. At the same time it has been suggested to us that there ought to be a monument in the park, embracing a group of the statesmen, soldiers, and literary celebrities of the city and State of New York — such as Hamilton, Clinton, Steuben, Cooper, Irving, &c. —as a contribution from the city. This, too, is a good idea, and the centre of the Mall would be the very place for such a monument.—New York Herald. LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—The schooner Enchantress, of Belfast, coal laden, struck on Friday morning on the Arklow Banks, which are some miles from the shore, and immediately sank. On observing the signals of distress the lifeboat of the National Institution, with the prompti tude which has ever characterized the services, and they have been many, of the lifeboat on this station, was at once launched and proceeded to the scene of danger. She found the crew had taken to the rigging and the sea was making a complete breach over the wreck. After some difficulty the boat of mercy succeeded in taking off, to their great joy, the whole of the crew, consisting of five men, whom she afterwards safely landed at Arklow. DESTRUCTION OF A HOSIERY FACTORY IN NOT TINGHAM BY FIRE. —Shortly before twelve o'clock on Thursday a fire broke out inthe hosiery factory of Mr. W. Bridgett, Woolpack-lane. The prem ises were four storeys high and very old, having wooden floors and beams throughout. The fire began about the centre of the building, spread with great rapidity, and before even tne hand fire-engine could be got to work the flames had burst forth from the windows and the roof. Ere the flames were got under the factory had been gutted from floor to floor. Mr. Bridgett is partly insured. The damage is estimated at from £lO,OOO to £20,000. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. —There has lately been a private cause tried in the Sheriff's Court at Doncaster, in which Mr. Makin Durham, of Thorne, sought to reco ver from the North-Eastern Railway Company £22,000 damages incurred to warping works by the intersection through them of the defendants' railway from Doncaster to Hull. The case was heard with closed doors, lasted three days, and was tried before a special jury. It is said that the jury, after being locked up for some hours, awarded the plaintiff the sum of £16,500. Several eminent land valuers and engineers were called on both sides. It is not unlikely there will be an appeal to a superior court. THE PARTY PROCESSIONS ACT.—MT. Johnston, M.P., has addressed the following letter to the Belfast Newsletter on the subject of the Processions Bill : " London, June 21.—Sir, Yesterday, at half-past four, I gave notice of my intention to move the rejection of the Government Processions Bill, which I then characterised as one of the worst bills ever laid before Parliament. I confess that I have been misled as to the intentions of Government. This bill must not pass. Let Ulster say so at once , and let every common er and p eer learn the wishes of those who love freedom. The second reading of the bill is deferred till Monday next. Any Protestant representative who will be indifferent or inactive in opposing it will be, indeed, a ' traitor." The Northern Whig commends the impartiality of the Government bill, and condemns the Orange party. THE IRISH "NATIONALISTS" (ND THEIR DEBTS. —Bills have been issued by Mr. J. P. M`Donnell and the Hyde Park Amnesty Committee, of which he was the hon. secretary, calling on the Irish Nationalists of London to meet on Sunday evening next to defray the expense of the amnesty demonstration which was made in Hyde Park on the 24th of last October. The Committee " remind their countrymen that there is one serious drawback to the pride and pleasure with which all Irishmen should look back to that demonstration." " The expenses incurred," the bill goes on to say, " have not been fully paid, owing chiefly to the shameful conduct of persons to whom collecting cards were entrusted, and who have not returned to the committee a single penny of the subscriptions they re ceived, and to the fact that several local committees which were supplied with collecting cards retained the subscriptions for their local expenses, and did not sub scribe anything to the general expenses, which were necessarily heavy." The expenses of the demonstration were fourteen or sixteen pounds. The committee threaten to publish the names of " dishonest persons." MUSICAL ITEMS.—We extract the following from the Musical Standard :—The history of the musical art in England (justly . remarks Mr. Ella) affords a melancholy instance of the instability of institutions dedicated to her service. Opera managers and concert speculators have constantly swollen the list of bankrupts, and not one building in London erected for the avowed purpose of promoting a taste for " the fine arts " in general and music in particular, has proved to be a remunerative speculation. All the late attempts to popularise music, with an admixture of classical orchestral works, songs, ballads, and dance music, have come to grief, not withstanding the unanimous support of the press to the efforts of the late managers—Jullien and Mellon. In Paris, too, the once popular concerts addressed to a mixed audience are replaced by an annual series of some thirty splendid orchestral performances—a hundred in the band -- directed by Pasdeloup, kto which I have occasionally listened with great delight. A benefactor to the young, W. E. Hickson, author of the words of many school songs that have become popular in America, died recently. He has done much for the cause of popular musical education, having taken a deep interest in juvenile music. It was he who first put into the mouths of "babes and sucklings " the musical expression of the motto " Try, try, try again." A LARGE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES.—Mr. Edward. Macrory, barrister-at-law, has just made an award in a case of the utmost importance to colliery proprietors— " Gidlow v. the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Com pany "—which was referred to him at the Liverpool Assizes, held in the spring of last year. The plaintiff, Mr. Gidlow, of Bolton, is an extensive and wealthy coal pro prietor, owning pits containing valuable mines of some supposed 30 million tons of cannel and Arley mine coal yet to be gotten. These mines are located upon, or in close proximity to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, as also are the Wigan Coal and Iron Company's ' the Moss Hall, the Ince Hall, and several other equally large and important similar properties. For some years anterior to 1865, it appears that the railway company had been charging Mr. Gidlow, as the latter contended, a rate for the carriage of his coal in excess of what their own acts of Parliament permitted, in consequence of which Mr. Gidlow and the company quarrelled, and it finally culminated in cross actions being brought,—on the one hand by the company to compel the payment of their claims, which virtually had the effect of trying the validity of such claims ; and by Mr. Gidlow, on the other hand, for over charges, falling to duly convey his coal traffic and delays, and for having maliciously placed him under restrictions of an arbitrary and ruinous character, contrary to their duties as common carriers. The arbitrator has now found under every head of complaint in favour of Mr. Gidlow, the plaintiff, and has mulcted the railway company in damages to the extent of £5,454 15s. sd. and costs. PRICE 1d STAMPED 2d. SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT, SATURDAY. The first glimpse of the House of Commons yesterday shewed that Mr. Glyn meant business. On the previous midnight Mr. Gladstone had consented to an adjournment, because the House was half empty. Yesterday was the day fixed for the Queen's party at Windsor ; but there was no gaiety for her Majesty's Ministers. Mr. Disraeli being in the happy position of leader of an Opposition which did not mean to oppose was absent, preferring doubtless the glitter of plate and fine dresses whereon " Lothair " is se eloqi ent, to swelling the triumph of his rivals in the lobby. Mr. Hardy's rine upright figure, too, was missing, and he and silky-haired Sir Stafford Northcote, I presume, were with their chief. Nevertheless, though so many of the principal men were absent, there were, no empty benches. Every seat was taken. In the galleries upstairs members sat two rows deep. In the gallery over the clock the peers and distingdiehed visitors had to find room, for M.P.'s who could not get a place below, the Solicitor.. General for Ireland and Dr. Playfair among them. In truth it was an impressive spectacle. The debate was not so lively as it might have been. Lasting about four hours and a-half, only five members spoke, so that the epeech,':s were too long. Mr. Mundella, the van quisher of Mr. Roebuck, at Sheffield, led off and damned the bill with faint praise, but still let it be known that he meant to support it. He, toge ther with Mr. Smith, the vanquisher of Mr. Mill at West minster, and Mr. Walter, of the Times, minority member for Berkshire, occupied the first three hours. At a quarter pad four a crowd of members rose, but the Speaker called Oa Mr. Horsman, and he made a speech of more than an hour's length. Towards the end of it mem bers got very' impatient. They knew that the debate must close at a quarter to seven. Many of them were burning to have their say, and so they kept calling out Time " and "'vide." At each 'manifestation of dis satisfaction the Radicals supported Mr. Horsman by ' shout of approving cheers, a fact s by the way, worthy of notice by the Conservatives of Liskeard to whom he owes his seat. Mr. Horsman has been more bitter and malicious before, and yesterday he really seemed to have lost hie ancient acridness. The strongest point of his speech was -When he quoted some vehement language against the denominational system at its establishment in 1839—then some equally vehement language in favour of it in 1870, and announced that the speaker in both cases was Lord Shaftesbury. Of course this was ants to the secularists, and gave force to Mr. Horsman's denuncia tion of " cries," which meant indeed that something was in danger ; yet not the thing mentioned—not the Church, as tutu said in 1829 with regard to Catholic Emancipation ; not Protestantism, as was said in 1845 _ with regard to the Maynooth Grant ; not Christianity, as was said in 1858 when the Jews were allowed to sit in Parliament; not the Bible, as is said now; but bigotry, ignorance, and intolerance. Even more telling, perhaps, was his denunciation of the time-table conscience clause, under which the children instructed in religion would mourn for so much playtime lost, so much school hours added, and look with envious eyes upon their schoolfellows who were so happy as to be allowed to turn their backs upon the Bible. It was eighteen minutes past five when Mr. Horsman sat down, and though other members arose the Speaker, amid the cheers of the House, called upon:Mr. Gladstone. There was quite a shout of cheers when he said he thought that the House desired a division to be taken that afternoon Very telling was his statement that when the Government came to examine into the condition of education they found a vast machinery in action, the voluntary schools and if, as was the case, it should turn out that these schools owed their existence to religious zeal, they learnt what a mighty force they had at their disposal—a force which they could not dream of neglecting. The Conser vative cheers were loud and long when, having described the concessions made by the Government to the Noncon formists, Mr. Gladstone asked what concessions the Non conformists had been called upon to make. Very delighted were the Conservatives when the Premier denounced the idea that concessions from the Opposition were to be held of no account, but considered merely as a starting point for further demands. He had a strong case when dealing with the criticisms upon the Government measure, for he had only to ask what other measure was forthcom ing which would please as many persons. Had not Mr. Richard proposed one plan, and had not Mr. Harcourt, another severe critic of the bill, denounced Mr. Richard's suggestion as both sectarian and secular ? The last part of the speech shewed more tact than any other which Mr. Gladstone has delivered. He shewed why he could not consent to any further material alterations, why he was not open to the charge of con tumaciously rejecting the representations of his own followers if he did not give way to them any more. He praised the Nonconformists for the sincerity which prompted their opposition, and the clerg,y for the zeal which they had shewn in the cause of education. He gave the House to understand, amid great cheering, that every effort would be made to pass the bill, and send it to the House of Lords in time for them to consider it. He sat down amid much applause at a few minutes after the half-hour. All this time Mr. Richard had been taking notes, as though he meant to reply ; but there was no time to do that. So he sat still and the Speaker put the question that the words which Mr. Richard proposed to omit stand part of the clause. The ayes did not sound so numerous as the division list shewed them to be. Probably the Conservatives did not care to shout much for a Ministerial proposal. If the Ayes had mad a proportionally equal noise to that which the Noes made they would have nearly blown the ceiling off. The Speaker of course said, " The Ayes have it," and equally "The Noes have it. general laughter, Mr. Fawcett said, of amidand course," There never had been any thought, of withdrawing the amendment, and certainly Mr. Glyn who had been trotting in and out all the afternoon with beaming face, had no reason to fear a division. It took twelve minutes. Mr. Crawford was the first member to re-enter the House. Then followed a crowd of Ministerialists, while from behind the Speaker's chair dribbled slowly the scanty minority, with Mr. J. D. Lewis at their head. At about ten minutes before seven there was a cry of " Clear the bar," and the tellers with great difficulty forced their way through the dense throng of M.P.'s who blocked the door. Mr. Glyn and Captain Greville were the Ministerial tellers ; Mr. Richard and Sir Charles Dilke were the tellers .for the amendment. It was in a loud but agitated voice that Mr. Glyn read the numbers-421 and 60. Thereat up rose a shout of laughter, and M.P.'s rushed out of the House and caught the 7-9 train on the underground railway, Mr. Lowe, the young Marquis of Lorne, and a crowd of others travelling together and discussing " the good working majority." THE SCHOOL FRIGATE CONWAY.—The annual distribution of prizes to boys on board the school frigate Conway, which is moored in the Mersey, off Liverpool, took place on Friday. In Mr. Shaw Lefevre's absence, the duty of presenting the prizes was undertaken, on very brief notice, by. Mr. Ralph Brocklebank. The visitors were conveyed to the frigate in steamers from the Prince's landing stage, and on board the Conway every arrangement had been made for their re ception. The upper deck, from the main to the mizen mast, was covered with a gaily-draped awning, with raised seats for the ladies on either side, and at one end a platform for the speakers, while the boys in uniform were seated on forms in the centre. The Mayor of Liverpoo“Mr. Alderman Hubback) presided. The Mayor, in his 'opening remarks, said the school frigate Conway was established in 1859, and the object of the promoters was to train up young men to be proper seamen in every sense of the word. Since the institution was opened, not fewer than 776 boys had been received on board, and at the present time 554 had been sent into the merchant service, and 35 had gone into the royal navy. The prizes were then distributed. The gold medal, pre sented by the Queen, was gained by Walter Glenthore Lennie, and S. H. Carden, was awarded an Admiralty nomination to a naval cadetship and her Majesty's second prize, consisting of a binocular glass and £35. The gold medal of the Mercantile Marine Service Association was gained by Arthur Nevins, who, from an unfortunate circumstance, was unable to be present in person to receive his prize. On Friday, last week, he fell from the foreyard to the deck, and was severely injured, his wrist being dislocated and his jaw broken. Fortunately, however, he is now recovering. The other prizes consisted of nautical instruments and books. Mr. F. A. Clint , moved, and Mr. J. A. Picton seconded a vote of thanks to Mr. Brocklebank.
