THE EGYPTIAN SALUTE, TO-NIGHT.- "And immediately the scene was illuminated by nearly 200 coloured lights, held by as many boys. This formed the Egyptian Salute. The lads were placed at intervals of a few Yards in a single row along the whole length of the Terrace. One-third to the left held red fires, an equal number in the middle had white, and the rest had greeen fires, but shortly the colours changed, and, being reflected in the glass walls of the Palace itself, gave it the appearance of one of the creations of our fairy tales, built of rubies, diamonds, and emeralds." —Vide morning paper on last display.

Address R. A., 35, St. John's-road, Lewisham High-road, New Cross, S.E. THE QUEEN AND TIIE REFORM CLUB. On the occasion of the Queen's visit to the Workmen's International 14;xhibition, itis stated that a veryhandsome chair designed by Mr. Lucraft, the well-known member of of the Reform League, was particularly admired by her Ma jesty, and Mr.Lucraft had the honourof personally pointing out the peculiarities of its construction. When it is remembered that this chair is by no means designed as a substitute for the throne, but simply as a convenvient article of furniture intended to serve the purposes of re pose, no anxiety will be felt by the most extreme Liberal or Conservative on account of this interview between our Sovereign and Mr. Lucraft—for the moment all political feeling was dropped, and royalty and the Reform League met on neutral ground. At the same time it must have been tempting for her Majesty to explain to Mr. Lucraft the peculiarities of the construc tion of the throne which she occupies, and to point out to him that it would be difficult for the Reform League, or any other league, to design a more comfortable or secure seat for royalty than that which she now sits upon—it is very difficult, if not impossible, to upset it, and no changes in the council table in any way affect it. If Mr. Lucraft's new arm chair possesses half as many merits it is well worthy of admiration, and might perhaps suit Mr. Odger, who seems very anxious to find a seat.—Pall Mall Gazette. i'llff - WORKING MEN'S INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. A working men's exhibition, at any rate on anything like this scale, is redolent of novel and advanced ideas, and one is puzzled how the capital resources it demands are to be got at. This problem, however, seems to have been very satisfactorily solved. Many of the smallest exhibits are the property of the producers, and are sent in their own names. But beyond these large collections, both foreign and English,are exhibited by master manufacturers, but in every case the names of the workmen who designed and executed the exhibits are given. The area whence the collections are gathered does not at present seem so large as one might have expected. The vast majority of the articles shewn are of course English. Italy, how ever, holds a very prominent place from the extent and variety of her collection, but more especially in the edu cated taste that shines through all her productions ; a con siderable collection comes from Holland and France ; Den mark, Austria, Hungary, Prussia, and Belgium are repre sented ; and then, as far as Monday's evidence went, we have exhausted the nationalities that have put in an appearance, or claimed space. The English section is, of course, strong in mechanical exhibits, many to be shewn in motion, ex tensive shafting being in preparation, to be driven by two of Kinsey's well-known and useful eight-horse power tank engines. Here we saw very ingenious boot-making apparatus by C. Spruce, Bray, and Neilson, J. W. Ellis, and others ; needle-making machines by Hayes and Crossley ; a series of sewing machines and their accesso ries, by the workmen of Taylor's Sewing Machine Com pany ; a portable bench forge by G. Downing ; an ingenious sash-making machi ne by John Rendwick ; iron model of combined circular saw by F. Gower ; numer ous specimens of • the wrought ironwork, quite rivalling the fertility of adaptation and delicacy of finish long thought peculiar to mediaeval days ; and a fine mahogany sideboard, by the Co-operative Cabinet Manu facturing Company, Hackney-road ; decorated screens ; pianos with highly carved cases ; statuary from works of classic pretension to those of broad grotesque ; carving in vast variety of architectural, ecclesiastical, domestic, and personal uses, from the size of a castle-gate to that of a cherrystone, and by men of all callings—labourers, gar deners, joiners, hairdressers, &c. ; furniture with decorations of every hue, including a beautiful and sumptuous chair, designed by Mr. Lucfaft, of political celebrity. Reading Brothers exhibit fine speci mens of silver and electro work, and Mappin and Webb, plate and cutlery. Then there is cooking apparatus, beautiful glass from Birmingham, fine China and enamels .from Worcester; an ingenious alarum by a letter carrier, which he christens the Early riser's friend," that rings a bell, fires a pistol, lights a lamp, and boils a cup of coffee. There is turning in every variety of wood and metal, a vast collection of ingenious models, besides a wilderness of things we cannot even name, from which, however, stands out prominently a fine reflecting tele scope, designed and manufactured by Mr. T. W. Bush, a baker and grocer living in one of the most humble parts of Nottingham. The instrument has specula of about 13in. in diameter, the casting, grinding and polishing of which were done by the maker, who also made his own tools. The whole has stood severe tests as to accuracy and practical usefulness, and the instrument attracted the particular attention of her Majesty. The Italian collec tion is very large and varied. Its most prominent feature is cabinet work in costly marbles and mosaics, from Rome and Florence, with fine specimens of majolica and porcelain ware, inlaid woods from Milan, marble work from Pisa, baskets made by the women of Isochia, Tuscan straw work of the most extraordinary . fineness, statues, cameos, cutlery, domestic machines, ironmongery, terracotta architectural work, ecclesiastical mosaics, carving, jewellery, musical instruments, and a host of subsidiary articles, with a large collection of oil paintings. • From Holland are philosophical instruments, engraving, book binding, manufactures from the schools for sons of work men at Amsterdam, with cases of manufacture of hats, &c. A large organ has been erected at the end of the building, with a very capacious orchestra. Statuary and paintings are distributed in picturesque profusion. Refreshment buf fets are constructing, deoorations of all kinds are springing up ; the great hall will evidently furnish a most striking spectacle—an agreeable lounge for the idler, and a more important and varied study for those who are more seriously interested in the fortresses of industry and the well-being of the working world. —The Engineer. DR. MILLER AND THE REVISION OF THE SCRIPTURES. The Rev. Dr. Miller writes to the Pall Mall Gazette to correct an erroneous impression as to the course he took at the board of the Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge in reference to the proposed grant in aid of the revision of the Bible. He says :—" Being a warm advo cate of the proposed revision, I moved the grant in the name of the standing committee, and supported it to the best of my ability. But I could not conscien tiously withhold my strong protest against the admission of one who denies the Deity of the Redeemer to the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper on the occasion re ferred to. To that protest I still adhere. But, as this Communion was but an incident, however grave, and not necessarily connected with the general ques tion, my argument to the board was that the grant should be made notwithstanding. I therefore earnestly com mended my motion to the acceptance of the board. I could not shut my eyes to the fact that I was charge able with bad policy and unskilfulness as an advocate in broaching the topic, or rather in following up the intro duction of it by the Rev. W. West; but the occasion seemed to me too solemn to allow weight to such a con sideration, and I was anxious to clear those who sup ported the grant, on its general merits, from the charge of complicity with the approval of the incident."

A BOOR FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE SS. "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 expl Ting. 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 cor '.ains in a small space a.great quantity oZ very interesting mat' er, much of which will be novel, and al' oZ which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those wl'o stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most ; idustrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent amolorapilic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yor•kshire 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." - Still " 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. " Withont 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 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 ➢7r. 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.

N.B.—The Offices of ,the Society are now at 52, King William street, London Bridge, E.C. DR. LIVINGSTONE. We (Dundee Advertiser) have received a copy of the Capetown Standard and Mail, which reports the arrival in Table Bay of tho ship Montrose, Captain Anderson, from Zanzibar. Captain Anderson, it may be stated, is a native of Dundee, and has friends in this quarter. The Montrose appears to have experienced heavy gales pre vious to her arrival in Table Bay, which had done con siderable damage to her headworks, requiring her to put in for repairs. She left Zanzibar on the 12th of March, and the following item of intelligence (which we quote from the Capetown Standard) in relation to Dr. Living stone is of interest :—" The Montrose—it will be seen from the report of her voyage—called in here in conse quence of damage sustained in a gale whilst off the Cape. Had it been known when she left Zanzibar that she Would have called here, Dr. Kirk would have undoubtedly written to Sir Thomas Maclear, forwarding the news he had received of Dr. Livingstone. But it was not known that the Montrose would put into Table Bay, and we have not, therefore, the information with regard to the great traveller, with all the particulars, as we should desire to have it. We have, however, the fact—and that settles all doubts as to the rumour from the West Coast-- that Dr. Livingstone lives. Captain Anderson states that he had had a conversation with Dr. Kirk, the political agent at Zanzibar, and he had informed him that he had just received a letter from Dr. ' Livingstone, that the Doctor was quite well, and would shortly make his appearance at one of the European settlements. Captain Anderson remembers nothing more than this ; but Dr, Kirk had said that he was perfectly assured throughout that the rumours of Dr. Livingstone's death were un founded. The dinner which the French Ambassador in tended to give last evening to Lord Granville and the Diplomatic Body, was postponed, and, also that of to-day, in consequence of his Excellency's granddaughter having an attack of scarlet fever. PIGEON SHOOTING AT HURLINGHAM PARK, FUL HAM.—LORDS V. COMMONS.—The third of the• matches for the present season was brought to a conclusion on Thursday, in the presence of a very brilliant assemblage of spectators. The conditions were that the competitors should shoot at 12 birds each, at 30 yards rise, each to put down 5 sovereigns, and every member, on the winning side to take a fiver. There were eight contestants on behalf of each party, and eventually the Commons were the winners by 7 birds, their total score being 60 against 53. Although the fact was not mentioned by Lord Granville when replying to Lord Malmesbury in tlieLords on Monday night, with respect to the Hispano-Franco- Prussian difficulty, it appears that the new Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on the occasion of his first reception of the Diplo matic Corps on the 7th inst., was officially informed by the Spanish Minister at the English , Court of the decision come to by the Madrid Government to adopt Prince Hohenzollern as a candidate ' and of the convoca tion of the Cortes for the 20th of this month. • • EXTENSIVE FIRES. Two very extensive conflagrations happened yesterday, one at Turnham-green, the other at Chalton-street, Euston-square. Each was attended with a serious loss of property, and one was nearly accompanied with the sacrifice of three persons—a father, mother, and child. The first fire took place on the premises belonging to A. B. Voysey, a grocer, carrying on business at No. 1, Princes-place, High-street, Turnham-green. It com menced in a building sixty feet long and two floors high used as store rooms and stables at the rear of the dwelling, house. The horses were all saved ; but with such fury did the flames extend that in the course of a few minutes the entire building presented a broad sheet of flame. The flames were not conquered until the building and contents were destroyed, and the dwelling house, with the next premises, belonging to Mr. Bennett, a wheelwright, were damaged by fire and water. The other fire took place in the premises belonging to Mr. J. Harrison, a furniture broker, situate at 2, Chalton-street, Euston-square. The discovery was made by a police con stable, who at once set about to arouse the inmates, con sisting of the proprietor, his wife, and child, but by the time he bad accomplished it the staircase was in flames from the bottom to the top, thereby cutting off all means of escape. Fortunately one of the fire escapes came up just in time, and the man in charge succeeded in rescuing the three endangered persons. The building and contents were completely destroyed, and two on either side severely damaged by fire and water. The trial of Sub-Inspector Nunan at Dundalk for the manslaughter of Thomas Watson during the Porta down riots last July, terminated yesterday. Counsel on both sides having addressed the jury, the Chief Justice delivered an elaborate charge, which lasted nearly three hours. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. THE VICTORIA EMBANKMENT.—At the meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works yesterday morning the following letter was received :—" Lord Chamberlain's Office, St. James's Palace, S.W., July . 13. 1870.—Sir, — I have received the commands of their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Louise to convey to you and to the other members of the Metropolitan Board of Works the expression of their approbation and thanks for the excellent arrangements made for their Royal Highnesses'reception at the opening of the Thames Embank ment this day, and their admiration of the magnificent work which has been now completed and opened to the public.--I anl, &c., (signed) SYDNEY."—A letter was also received from the Speaker of the House of Commons offering his compliments on the success of the ceremonial of opening, and stating that the Embankinhnt, as seen from.the windows of his house, which command the whole Etpbaakment and the river, was the prettiest gala. sight h&ever witnessed. 1 17 0 2 17 0 JULY 16, 1870. LITERATURE, SCIENCE, .kND ART. The Athenceum says : = Mr. Mill is at work on a new e lition of his " Logic ; " and Miss Helen Taylor is said to be editing , the posthumous works of Buckle.—Mr. Halliwell is making progress with his " About ten folio volumes," which will illustrate the life of Shakespear and the history of 'the Early Englsih stage. The com piler will be glad to receive any information that is new, in • reference to the above subjects.— Messrs. Rivington will publish, on Monday next, an ac count of the_ Ober Ammergau Passion Play, by the Rev. M. M'Coll, who wrote the account of it in the Times. — Mr. J. C. Brough has just been appointed to the libra rian's post at the London Institutionan office once held Uy Porson.—The , new volume of tke Chandos Classics contains the legendary ballads of England and Scotland. It is carefully edited by Mr. J. G. Roberts, who has done well in shewing that some of the heroes of old sang, Gilderoy for instance, were vulgar thieves, or worse, to whom undeserved honours have been paid by the bards. — An excellent Italian version of Charles Dickens's " The Cricket on the Hearth " has been written by Signora Grazia Mancini Pierantoni.—The New York Nation says thrt " many of the American publishers, all the authors, and all the intelligent and honest men and women who have thought the thing out, wish an international copy right law to be passed.' —Putnam's Magazine, in an article on Disraeli as a statesman and a novelist, says that " - • hair' alone in the realms of- English fiction is worthy to be named alongside of ' Wilhelm Meister !' " Mr. Bailey Walker, of Manchester, is engaged on an attempt to bring about a certain amount of fusion be tween various scientific, religious, educational, and other societies, so far as their working expenses are concerned. We wish that the thing may be done, but neither expect that it will be done, nor know whether Mr. Walker is the right man for the attempt.—We may report pro gress as to the instruction of Indian women in midwifery. In the Medical College Hospital at Calcutta there is a class of twelve ; and in the Mitford Hospital at Dacca three. Besides paying the female pupils, the Government has hit upon the novel idea of paying female patients a daily stipend to attend the hospital.—At Zurich the ques tion of admitting female students to the share of the highest scientific education, and of university diplomas, seem likely to be practically solved. At present fourteen ladies attend the lectures of the Faculty of Medicine con currently with the male students ; and last year two ladies, one Russian and the other English, passed their examination for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. — The closing of the Royal Italian opera season is an nounced for next Saturday, the 23rd instant, when it will be time enough to supply a summary of the carrying out of the prospectus of 1870. One more revival is promised, that of Meyerbeer's " Etoile du Nord," for the 19th inst. —At a performance of Mr. Reece's extravaganza on Saturday last, at the Olympic Theatre, the dress of Undine took fire, and a serious accident to the actress and a panic were only avoided by the presence of mind of some of the officials of the theatre.—The conversion of the Chatelet into a Parisian Alhambra, to which we re ferred last week as probable, is now determined upon. The management of Mr. Strange commences on the Ist of August. LONDON GAZETTE-LAST EVENING. LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, JULY 15.

An explosion occurred in a new pit near Quarter Iron Works, Hamilton, Scotland, on Wednesday, by which two men were killed and four severely injured. One man was blown away from the mouth of the shaft. The explosion was caused by the injudicious use of naked lamps. At the Manchester County Court on Thursday a woman named Robins recovered £5O as damages for a brutal assault committed upon her by a man named Richard Mallard, and which rendered her paralytic for life. The judge expressed his regret that he could not award her five times the amount. The real time at which the House of Commons adjourned yesterday morning was five minutes past five. This is the latest hour at which the House has been known to sit since the debates onthe great Reform Bill. Yesterday morning several members breakfasted in the tea-room of the Houses of Parliament, there being no cabs in Palace yard to take them home quickly. On Thursday arrangements were made for disin terring the remains of the Fenian convict, William Pherson Thompson, who died in Portland prison. The friends of the deceased have prepared a leaden coffin with glass in the lid, and ordered that a horse and trap shall be ready for the remains immediately on the exhumation. The authorities will not allow any demonstration. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has Jven judgment in the case of " Elphinstone v. the Rev. ohn Purchas," of Brighton. The promoter having died since the commencement of the suit, the question was whether Mr. H, Hebbert, a retired Indian judge, and now a resident at Brighton, could act as promoter in the room of Colonel Elphinstone. The Judicial Committee have decided in the affirmative. The last batch of parliamentary, papers issued in cludes a series of letters between the Colonial Secretary and the Governor of Ceylon respecting a catalogue of Oriental languages'; annual accounts of the Chamberlain of the City of London ; commercial reports from her Majesty's Consuls; the report of the Select Committee on the Pilotage Bill ; and several bills, including the Forging Bill, the Medical Act Amendment Bill, and the National Debt Bill. In the Irish Court of Probate on Thursday, the Hon. Henry Ernest Newcomen King was declared the legitimate son of the late Earl Kingston. The suit was instituted in order to establish his legitimacy, he being the second son of the late earl, who had left his wife about the time petitioner was born, and there had been doubts of the petitioner's legitimacy. Should his elder brother, the present earl : die without issue, the prisoner would succeed to the title and estates. The Civilian says :—" The gentleman to whom Mr. Baxter so kindly permitted £2,300 of the public - money to be presented has not left the country. At first his thought 4 not unnaturally turned to the United States ; but upon reflection, he patriotically resolved to spend his handsome douceur in the mother country. The law advisers; having been consulted on the case, have decided that, in their.opinionoq criminal offence.has_ been com mitted by the ex-official.. PRICE I d STAMPED 2d. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The entries of yearlings, colts, and fillies to run as 3-yr olds in these races in 1872 have just closed with 191 nominations for the Derby, 175 for the Oaks, and 196 for the St. Leger. Last year there was a considerable falling off in the numbers entered, and this year there is a further decrease, especially for the Derby, for which the nomina tions for the three previous years have been 275, 266, and 217 respectively. The numbers are generally diminished by nearly a dozen prior to the race, owing to the death of nominators.
