This is the most interesting of all the flower shows held during the season. The universal admiration of the national flower, its numberless varieties, ranging from purest white to sable, its delicious odour, and the immense number of specimens collected, com bine to render the Rose Show pre-eminent among the flower shows of the season. It was at the Crystal Palace that the first Rose Show was held, and each year some new attractive feature has been introduced. The Exhibition of Table Decorations held at the last Flower Show, although of great interest, did not exemplify some of the principal features of floral decoration. Arrangements have been made with some of the leading manufacturers to make upon this occasion a special Display of Table Furniture, which will be florally decorated so as to illustrate these special features. The Display will take place in the Opera Theatre, which will be handsomely fitted up as a dining room. Music is an important feature on these occasions ; and, in ad dition to the usual performances during the day by the or chestral and military bands, at 4 o'clock a grand combined performance will take place on the Grand Handel Orchestra, conducted by Mr. Maims. At half-past five the German Gymnastic Society will give its Annual Display on the floor of the great transept. Nearly 200 of the most expert gymnasts of the Society go through their various exercises and feats, commencing with drill and mass exercises, and including boxing, fencing, parallel, and horizontal bar exercises, (&c, The graceful ease and modesty with which these gentlemen gymnasts go through their numerous difficult feats is very pleasing as compared with the less skilful perfor mances of professional acrobats. The Coldstream Guards Band, under Mr. F. Godfrey, will play during the display. Half-crown admission tickets at the Palace, 2, Exeter-hall, and usual agents, this day and to-morrow only.

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. Fm 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." —Sun. " 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 space wasted in tine 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. . . . 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 BAPTISTS' CENTENARY AND EDUCATION. - - The centenary Meeting of the Baptist Association, which is being held in Leicester, was resumed on Wednesday The session was held in Lower-street Chapel, under the presidency of the Rev. F. Stevens, of Nottingham. Papers were read by Mr. Baldwin, of Loughborough, on the history of Sundayschools, and by the Rev. J. Clifford, of London (secretary), on the Sunday schools of the future. Mr. Clifford referred to the education question, and denounced Government religion in string terms, which were vociferously applauded by the meeting. It required no prophetic eye (said he) to foretell what must be The end of the struggle. Religion and Arithicietio must be severed, catechism and cyphering must not be taught together. Government might teach children to reckon, to read, and to write, as it might teach soldiers to use rifles, and policemen to keep their beats, but it had no right to instruct the young in for- - mularies of faith, any more than it had to introduce Mor monism into the Army or Mahomedanism into the Navy. (Great cheering.) They must have a further application of the principle of total separation between the adminis tration of politics and the teaching of religion. (Applause.) Eternal justice demanded the reform, and it would avail nothing in the long run to resist. Mr. Meekly advocated special children's services—children's churches on Sunday, and other services on weekdays. An increase should be made in the number, and an improvement brought about in the proficiency of the teachers. Much more cheerful ness was also required in the school-rooms. . , v, r ' „.1 '', 0;,, 0 ~, ~,,,ti, , LONDON, THURSDAY, London- W. TWICEDIE. 337. Strand.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at ls. 6d. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable. '—Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with hfe-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 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 v. 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. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. Just published, price is 6d., by post ls.

In every English home of the smallest pretension there is a pianoforte. In every English home-library there ought to be henceforth included this charming little history by Mr. Brinstead of that most popular of all l musical instruments. The example set by the author this graceful sketch of the earliest invention and gradual improvement of the piano will be followed, we trust, by the admirers of other strin g ed instruments. Step by step, the writer of the little work under notice, tracks the pianoforte keyboard from contrivance to contrivance, through the claricytherum, the clarichord, the virginal, the Spinet, and the Harpichord, until at last the piano forte itself is happily invented. An English Monk, at Rome, by manufacturing an instrument of this last-men vi„„s,a laid claim to tbH honour of being the inventor of the pianoforte. The actual inventor, however, appears to have been an Italian musician of Padua (harpsichord player to the most Serene Prince of Tuscany) by name Bartollomeo Christopoli. His inven tion dates from 1710, the genius of the man introducing im provements in anypart of the complicated structure—in the ech on and in the sounding board, as well as throughout the whole of the complex internal m anism. The difficulties that have to be avoided even now, will indicate the extra ordinary obstacles that presented themselves to the first fabricators of the pianoforte—instance, of the former, the sticking of keys, the rattling of keys, the squeaking of hoppers, the jumping of wrestpins, the blocking of hammers and so on. The list of 1862 pat n om 3694 to ts given in the ap pendix is someth in g wonderful, ranging f each inclusive, and comprising among the patentees such names as Broadwood, and Collard, and Erard. The variety of the materials employed in the fabrication of a pianoforte again is certainly very extraordinary, including among them as they do almost every different kind of wood, oak, dea l, fir, pine, beech, lime, pear, sycamore, cedar, ebony, rosewood, satinwood, holly, walnut, and various others,besides leathers of all descriptions, buffalo calf, doeskin, morocco, and sheepskin, and among of metals, iron, steel , b rass, and copper, to say g ivory, blacklead, emery, beeswax, oil, and glue, and gum, and spirits of wine—altogether,he Pianoforte is as full of i a marvellous combination n. Mr, Brinstead' s History of t terest a s of instruction, and having been read tough as a charming chapter illustrative of one of the hrwonders of the orchestra, it will be well worthy afterwards of being awarded a place upon our library shelves, as one of the compactest and one of the most reliable among our popular books of reference. CRYSTAL PALACE DOG SHOW. To -day and to-morrow are the last days of the great national exhibition of dogs. The complete list of prizes awarded is a very extensive one, including dogs of almost every class, from the bloodhounds and St. Bernar to ds, who figure in the earlier part of the catalogue, the toy terriers who close it. There are no less than 106 classes, the 106th being St. Bernard puppies under six months old. The prizes in most cases were £5 for the first and 23 for the second, and in very few cases were they idthheld for want of merit. THE OXFORD COMMEMORATION. Yesterday was a great day in the Sheldorian Theatre, the honorary degrees being conferred. Amongst the recipients were the Duke of Richmond, Earls de Grey and Ripon, Beauchamp, Cow the,.a se, the Bishop of Lincoln, Lord Lyttelton, t Speaker, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, the Chan cellor•of the Exchequer, Sir J. Kay-Shuttleworth, Sir W. Mansfield, and Canon Liddon. To the Placetne vobis , domini doctores? Placetne vobis, mag istrt? there was no 'dissent till the name of Mr. Lowe was proposed, and then a shout of Non placet was raised in the gallery, with some slight approbation of this dissent among the masters in the arena. After,all other dissent appeared to have been withdrawn, me gentleman persisted in his non placet, like the com bative member in the House of Commons, who singly maintains that " the " Noes have it ; but the Chancellor of the University, more despotic than Mr. Speaker, passed quickly to the next name on the list, and the cry of non placet being then repeated caused con siderable laughter. The only other interruption occurred when the name of 'Mr. William Smith was submitted. An undergraduate, in the tone of one anxiously asking for information, inquired " Which Mr. Smith?" and this apparently innocent question upset the gravity even of the Chancellor. Though Lord Chief Justice Giffard still continues in a very weak state of health, his lordship anticipates being able to resume his sittings early next week, the illness from which he has recently been suffering not being of a serious character. In consequence of the Queen's State breakfast at Windsor Castle on Friday . next it is understood that the House of Lords, on its rising to-morrow evening, will be adjourned till seven o'clock on that day. NATIONAL ORPHAN HOME.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Teck presides to-day at the distri bution of prizes to the former inmates of this home, which is situate at Ham-common, Sm rey. There is to be a dOeuner after the distribution, at which the Duke of Cam bridge is to preside. [ADVERTISEMENT. I —Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Counsel and Help.--When diarrhcea, dysentery, or fever prevails in any district, it behoves every one to be watch ful, and to have at hand the means of checking those symptoms of uneasiness, nausea, and vertigo, which fore tell the threatening malady. This well-known Oint ‘ ment, rubbed diligently and repeatedly upon the pit of the stomach and over the abdomen, exercises the most powerful and salutary effects in arresting these morbid indications of the coming e vil, and, aided by appropriate doses of the pills, will secure safety to their employers, whilst the heedless are falling thickly around them. Every person at this critical time should subdue the traces of disordered action by Holloway's regulating and purifying preparations. JUNE 23, 1870 AMERICAN. FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. It is believed in Washington that Mr. Schenok's funding bill will not pass into law this session. Mr. Garfield's bill for an additional issue of national bank-notes has been reported against by the Financial Committee of the Senate, and a conference be tween the two Houses has been ordered, the bill having been passed by the House of Representatives. Mr. Whittemore, the re-elected member for South Carolina, has been refused admission to the House of Representatives. THE NEWARK RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Thomas Marshall, of Kirkstall, near Leeds, died at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, and thus the number of deaths is raised to 17. The adjourned inquest was resumed yes terday ; several bodies were identified, and an adjourn ment was made until later in the afternoon. Three bodies were not identified. All the injured persons in the town are said to be in a hopeful condition, except the Dutchman, Gerard Toff, of London. THE TRAGEDY IN THE CITY . - _ On Wednesday the man John Duke and his wife, who are now lying at Bartholomew's Hospital, were pro nounced by Mr. Camberbatche, the house surgpon, to be in fair progress of recovery, and they have both received their strength and consciousness to enable them to speak. They have both made a statement which, however, it has been deemed unnecessary to commit to writing, and from that it would appear that the man, who was on the morning of the occurrence in a state of frenzy, from want of the absolute necessaries of life, and feeling that for some time to come he would be unable to obtain employ ment at his trade, he struck his wife a violent blow on the head with a rolling pin, afterwards found in the room, lacerating the scalp severely ; he then took a knife and stabbed her in the throat, on the left side first, and then on the right side, which rendered her senseless. He then seized a razor that was at hand, and drew it across his own throat twice, severing the wind pipe. They have been visited by several ot the male friends and fellow-workmen of Duke, who are of opinion that the want of employment has been the primary eause of the tragic occurrence. It appears that the total in come of the family, consisting of seven persons, for a long time past has only amounted to same 14s. or 15s. per week ; and, after deducting house rent, left but little for their subsistence. Should nothing occur to retard their recovery, the man John Duke will in the course of a few days be brought up at the Mansion-house on a charge with attempted double murder. THE DETERMINED SUICIDE IN DRURY- LANE. Last night Mr. Bedferd held an inquest at Xing's College Hospital on the body of Edward Herbert, aged 33 years, who committed suicide on Monday last by throwing himself from a window at 41, Parker-street, Drury-lane. It appeared from the evidence that deceased was in partnership with his mother, who carry on the business of architectural modellers at 242, Euston-road. On Saturday last he went to visit his 'sister, a married woman residing at 41, Parker-street, and remained there up to the time of his death, which resulted from his leaping from the third-floor window between one and two o'clock on the Monday morn. ing. It was proved that the suicide was of a most determined character, as deceased, after jumping once from the window, went upstairs and repeated the act. The medical testimony disclosed the fearful injuries he received, and a statement made by Thomas Herbert, his brother, left no doubt on the minds of the jury that he ivas insane. A verdict of " Suicide whilst in a state of temporary insanity" was then returned. M. and Madame Ferdinand de Lesseps have ar rived in London. The Emperor Napoleon continues to make satis factory progress, the swelling of the foot having consider ably diminished. A fresh conflagration has burst out in the forest of Fontaine ►leau. There is reason to fear that it is the work of an incendiary. Within the past fortnight 5,259 lbs. of meat have been seized in the City as unfit for human food. It has all been destroye d. The Emperor of Austria has directed the arms of Austria and Hungary to be quartered with the family arms of Count Beust. A meeting of the Glasgow ironmasters has agreed unanimously to accept the proposals of the men to return to work. Notices of the lock-out are to be withdrawn. After a long and warm discussion, and several divisions, an attempt to pass a resolution in the Dublin Town Council in favour of the Permissive Bill has been defeated by a "count-out." Yesterday the bankruptcy of Mr. W. H. Cot terill, solicitor of Throgmorton-street,who lately absconded, came before Mr. Registrar Roche. The liabilities amount to £150,000, and there are in effect no assets. The Dean and Canons of Christ Church, Oxford, have presented the Rev. Peter Robert Watts, M.A., curate of Milton, near Abingdon, to the vicarage of Thornton-le-Street, in the room of the Rev. H. R. Cunnynghame, M.A. The Pall Mall Gazette hears that the ex-Queen of Spain has at last signed her abdication in favour of her son, and that the document has been shewn to the Emperor and the Spanish Ambassador by the Duke de Sesta, who came here purposely to implore her Majesty to make this sacrifice. The committee of the "Temporary Home for Lost and Starving Dogs," advertise that in consequence of the violent and persistent opposition of the inhabitants of Hollingworth-street, Holloway, they are under the neces sity of seeking another site for this institution. A piece of freehold land has been offered them in some more eligible and central locality. THE REVENUE. — From April Ist to June 18th the national receipts were £14,585,444, or rather over £2,000,000 less than the revenue in the corresponding period of last year. The issues from the Exchequer amounted to 213,592,592, and this was £ 1 , 000 , 000 under the expenditure during the like number of weeks in 1869. The balance in the Bank of England on Saturday last was £8,744,976. With regard to the measures taken by the com mittee of Lloyd's with a view to the discovery of the authors of the false report concerning the alleged loss of the Dacia, they are of a very exhaustive nature, detec tives having been sent to America, and also to Canada. It is said, however, that within the last day or two circum stances have arisen which justify a suspicion that the re port originated in London. The twelfth report of the Commissioners in Lunacy has just been issued. It gives the total number of insane as 7,310. This shews a considerable increase on the num ber for the previous year, especially in the return of pauper lunatics, which have increased in ten years from 172 to 195 in every 100,000. The return, however, is based on the census of 1861. There is a marked tendency to death among the females in summer and among the males in winter. Some further reports are published as to endo wed charities. In Lincolnshire the total gross income of the endowed charities is £48,294 17s. 2d., which is expended in the following manner, viz. :—Education, £20,584 10s. ; apprenticing, £ 1,137 1 0 s. B d. ; endowments, 22,585 3s. 3d. ; Church purposes, £2,966 4s. lid. ; maintenance of Dissenting places of worship and their ministers, £244 12s. ; education of Dissenters, £8 ; public uses, £1,026 18s. sd. ; support of almshouses and their inmates, £9,924 ns. 9d. ; distribution in kind, £4,016 19s. 9d. ; distribution of money, £5,510 9s. 3d. ; and general uses of the poor, £524 13s. 7d. In Cardiganshire the receipts amount to £553, almost all of which is spent on educa tional purposes. - - LORD DERBY'S RESIDENCE.—The London cor respondent of the Yorkshire Post says :—Lord Derby is, I hear, negotiating for the purchase of Holwood, a beau tiful estate in Kent, not far from Bromley, and which is in several ways interesting. In the first place, and this no doubt mainly induces Lord Derby to wish to become its possessor, Holwood is at present the residence of the Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury, who rents it from the representatives of its late owner, the late Lord Cran worth, and who is much attached to it as a home. Then, too, it was the favourite residence of William Pitt, who was born at the great Chatham's seat of Hayes, a few miles off. When a boy Pitt used to go bird's nesting in the woods of Holwood, and then determined to become its owner whenever he could. His ambition was gratified in 1785, during the first years of his long Premiership. In the grounds of Holwood there is still pointed out what is called " Pitt's oak," conspicuous for its gnarled and projecting root, which was his favourite seat. Another is known as " Wilber force's oak," the same commemorated in the philanthropist's diary as "the old tree at Holwood just above the deep descent into the vale of Keston," sitting on the root of which, with Pitt, he was advised by the latter and he first resolved to take up the question of the slave-trade. Amid the pecuniary embarassments which clouded the great statesman's later years, he was com pelled to part with Holwood, and a subsequent proprietor pulled down the house which had been his, and erected the present mansion, of the usual suburban type, now containing only ore memorial of Pitt, his writing-table. It would be pleasant if Lord Derby were to become the possessor of aplace which is thus associated with the memory of William Pitt, and which, from its contiguity to London, would be a convenient sojourn for a steady frequenter of Parliament. PRICE, STAMPED 2d. THE LOSS OF THE CARNATIC. Mr. Justice Byles was occupied yesterday with a special jury in trying the case of Gilliland v. the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Coml. any. This was an action brought on behalf of the mother, widow, and children of the late Mr. Gilliland, who was on board the Carnatic, and was lost when that vessel went down in the Red Sea. It was stated that the deceased, Mr. J. C. Gilliland, was 37 years of age ; and he was in the accountalit's office in the Punjaub. He was receiving £7OO a year, a sum which would probably in time have been considerably increased. He came to England on sick leave, and he was on board the Carnatic on his return journey when she struck on a coral reef on the night of the 19th of September, 1869. This action was founded on the assumption that Mr. Gilliland lost his life in consequence of negligence, and the plaintiff contended that the ship was run too near an island which was visible • and it was insinuated that there was a desire to overtake the Tigre, which belonged to the French company, and which had sailed an hour before. The ship foundered at the time that the passengers were being taken off in the boats, and it was said that for some short time before the vessel had shewn signs of settling down, and that efforts should have sooner been made to take the passengers off. Evidence was called for the plaintiff. The case occupied the whole day and had not concluded when the court rose. THE NEW POLICE HELMET. Monday was we fear a melancholy day with one class of her Majesty's subjects. The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing gaily, and the whole face of nature was smiling with the exception of one feature, and that feature was the police. These unfortunate men, who bear with exemplary patience the fancy dresses in which it pleases the authorities to clothe them, for the first time appeared in their new helmets ; and it was almost too much for them. The poor fellows found themselves with the tops of their helmets suddenly cut off, one peak in front shutting out the world from their sight, another peak be hind forming a little ledge for the rain to run down the napes of their necks, and the whole head-gear being about as useless and uncomfortable as the wildest chignon that ever graced or disgraced the head of weak but fascinating woman. We are sorry for the police, as everybody must be sorry for a body of respectable men, who against their own inclination are compelled to adopt a senseless attire ; but we would remind them that to beautify . London is the object of the authorities, and private inclination must not be allowed to stand in the way of this laudable ambition. They have only to look at our statues to convince themselves that our public men shrink from no sacrifice when called upon to contribute to the adornment of the metropolis. We could have wished that it had been possible to have spared the police, for we do not deny that there is some advan tage in a constable being able to see objects in front of him, and that a stream of cold water down his back may be slightly disagreeable ; but, as Punch once remarked very truly, " Agony is nothing to a man as dresses well," and there cannot be two opinions as to the picturesque effect of the new helmet. It is indeed only too sadly beautiful; it would be difficult to conceive anything more admirably adapted for the purpose for which it is doubt less intended. It is not a covering for the head of the light and careless, but, as a crown for "resignation," it is perfect. It is a hat which a martyr might be proud to wear. He may, however, find consolation in the thought that the authorities can do no more to him—unless, indeed, they take it in their heads to utilise the little cab flag by sticking it at the top of his helmet.—Pall Mall Gazette. A State Ball was given on Tuesday night, by com mand ,of - the Queen, at Buckingham Palace, to which a party of about 1,700 was invited. A gentleman at Bradford, whose name is with held, has presented £3,000 to the fund for the maintenance of decayed spinsters. It is stated that Mr. Peile, as well as Lord Arthur Clinton, both of whom were implicated in the Boulton and Park scandal, has died since the prosecution. Mr. Ashbury has applied for the services of one of the Liverpool Pilots to navigate the Cambria in the forthcoming race with the American yacht. The Guardian says the Rev.Waldegrave Brewster, rector of Llandysilio, in Montgomery, has been appointed to the incumbency of Middleton, vacant by the prefer ment of the Bishop of Chichester. The Board of Trinity College, Dublin, have established new exhibitions for students at entrance and after their second year. These exhibitions, of which there are twenty, of £25 a year, are tenable for two years. . . Andrew Caw, the pensioner, who murdered a woman in Bull's-lane, Dublin, last week, was tried and found guilty, on Tuesday, the jury recommending him to mercy. - . _ Baron Widmann, the Austrian Minister of National Defence in the Cis-Leithan Cabinet, who resigned imme diately after his appointment in consequence of the affair in Gratz, has again sent in his resignation, which has this time been accepted by the Emperor. The Bourse Gazette of St. Petersburg states that a report made to the Czar by the Minister of War shews that Russia possesses at present 566,232 needle guns, and that the fabrication of metallic cartridges has reached 300,000 a day, giving a total in hand of 15,000,000. A carpenter of Ars, Moselle, named Cosnell, mur— dered his wife and his nephew, a soldier on furlough, three nights back, by striking them on the head with a hatchet while they were asleep. The motive for the crime is not stated. The man afterwards gave himself up. Another railway accident is reported from America. The night train from Boston, on June Bth, ran into a culvert near a station called Summit, and the passenger car went down with the engine. Three persons were killed and a number seriously injured. It is now understood that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will visit Ireland in August, during the holding of the Royal Agricultural Society's Show at Bal linasloe. It is also stated that her Majesty will visit Ireland in September. The death is announced of Mrs. Grattan, the vene rable relict of Mr. Thomas Colley Grattan, who occupied an eminent position amongst literary men. The deceased, who was descended from the ancient family of the O'Donnels of Ireland, expired at her residence at Rich mond, at the advanced age of 84 years. The Liverpool coroner has held an inquest on the body of Patrick Coressan, 17, whose death was the result of natural causes, accelerated by excessive drink ing. The father stated that the deceased was employed at an ale and bottling store, and that during the last five years he had gone home every night under the influence of drink, indeed often tipsy. A. return as to the condition of the Thames Em bankment shews that the total cost up to the present is £1,650,000. Of this amount £20,000 has been paid to the Conservators of the Thames, and £6,200 to the Duchy of Lancaster. Five and a half acres of the reclaimed ground the Board of Works are bound to devote to the use of the public as ornamental gardens. - - Temperature continues very high, except in the north. In London the thermometer registered 72 deg. at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. At noon it had risen to over 90 deg. Moderate westerly winds still prevail in Scotland, while elsewhere light variable airs are reported. The sky is now generally . clear. No rain has fallen in the British Isles. The sea is calm. OUR NEXT WINTER.—It would be unwise for us to quarrel with the present hot weather, as there is every reason to believe that the baking we have undergone these last three or four days is nothing to be compared with the freezing we are to undergo next winter. According to the Athen(eum, Professor Piazzi Smyth, Astronomer Royal for Scotland, has made some interesting discoveries respecting the cycles of temperature, the result being that the Professor is enabled to foretell the temperature of a season a year in advance. Taking the series of obser vations, 1837-1869, it is seen that a hot time occurs about every eleven years, followed at intervals of a little more than two years by a very cold time. The past winter, it seems, was the first of a cold cycle of which next winter, and probably that of 1871-2, will be exceed ingly severe. This is very painful, and we might point out to Professor Piazzi Smyth that, unless he can discover some means of warming the cycles referred to he might just as well leave them alone. —Pall Mall Gazette. SCENE IN A POLICE-COURT.—A singular scene occurred in the Manchester Police-court on Tuesday morn ing. A labouring man, against whom an order was taken out some weeks ago for £5 odd for the maintenance of a boy in Ardwick Industrial School, appeared and declared he would not recognise the order, inasmuch as he was not the parent of the boy. The lad's mother accompanied the man to the foot of the solicitor's table, and said the prisoner was not the father of the boy. She produced her marriage certificate, and said her husband, who had deserted her, was the father of the boy, and was still living. It was stated by a witness from the Refor matory that the man had repeatedly paid instal ments on account of the maintenance of the boy. The stipendiary said he could do nothing but enforce the order, which wassigned by two magistrates, and the prisoner must either pay the amount, £5 145., at once or go to prison for a month. The prisoner s eemed to hesi tate for a moment as to the course which he should follow when the woman said "Go to prison." He said. " Yes, , I will ; I will never pay on that order," and while leaving the table added to the woman, " You must take the children to the workhouse." The woman, who was carrying a baby in her arms, then presented it to him, and said, " Here, take the kid with you." The p risoner clutched at the baby, saying, "Yes, that is my child ; I will never part with it," and helped by the woman, strongly resisted the attempt of the police to force it from him. A struggle followed, during which it appeared as if the child would have been torn asunder, and was not decided until three or four policemen came to the assistance of the two dock warders, and compelled the woman to resume the charge of her child.
