Yesterday there was a Reform demonstration, under the auspices of the Reform League, at Leeds. It purported to be a gathering 'of what is termed the advanced party of Liberals from the whole county of York, and p: o'oa,bly there were some per sons present from the chief towns in the thr, e Rid ings into which that great county is divided, but the bulk of the Reformers who assembled were chiefly from the great centres of industry in the West Riding. The boroughs of Bradford, Halifax, Wake field, Sheffield, Pontefract, and Huddersfield, the towns of Dewsbury, Keighley, Biugley, Batley, Os sett, and their populous neighbourhoods, with the borough of Leeds and its immediate neighbour hood, furnished in the Aggregate a very large assem blage of both men and women. The day was fine and sunny upon the whole, though in the morning the sky was cloudy, and there were some indications of rain. It was also a holyday, being Easter Tues day, and these - circumstances, coupled with the long prepared effort's to make the "demonstration" as tell ing as possible by the aid of music, flags, banners, and other devices pf an attractive character for " the 'raillion,"'tendered etrewhole as successful as its pro jectors could wish. The recent letter of Mr. Glad stone, the speech of Mr. Bright at Birmingham, and the position of the Reform Bill itself in the House of Commons, all combined to give more than ordinary interest to the proceedings. Shortly after 1 o'clock in the afternoon the various members of the Reform League audits branches, dif ferent trades, temperance, and other societies, and other persons who wished to walk in procession assem bled at the front of the Town-hall, and went through some of the principal sweets to "Woodhouse-mow, a fine elevated piece of ground within the north partof the berough. There was nothing particularly striking in the procession, and the whole was less numerous than a like procession in Leeds on the Bth of October last. Most of the flags, banners, and bannerets which bad done duty on the latter occasion did duty on this, and some of them had a rather tawdry appearance. Some of the inscriptions about " Manhood Suffrage," " Vote by Ballot," and the like being gilt paper pasted on bunting or silk, and having been cracked by having been folded up or the paste by which they had been fastened having lost its adhesiveness, they hung Th in e tishreds,mewlicmah the king procession the words not took a in passing easy to read. passing any point was less than an hour. The bulk of the persons walked five abreast, and there was on an average about a yard and a half or two yards between each row of per sons, including in the calculation the much larger intervals of space which existed between different bodies of men or societies. The number of carriages and other vehicles, and also of horsemen, was less than in the October procession, and there was cer tainly much less enthusiasm displayed throughout the whole affair. On Woodhouse-mow there were five platorms, as at the meeting in October last, and at each there was a chairman and a set of speakers, the principal of whom were the same as spoke on the previous occasion. The speaking from the several platforms commenced at 3 o'clock. The following three reso lutions were proposed and seconded at each plat form, and were simultaneously put to the mass of people assembled, only a very small portion of whom, however, could hear either the speakers or the re solutions. They were adopted unanimously, and with much cheering : -- 1. That this meeting is of opinion that no measure of Reform will be considered by the working classes as final which does not embrace registered residential manhood suffrage, protected by the ballot, together with such a re distribution of seats as will place the representation in accordance with the wealth, population, and intelligence of, the nation. 2. That this meeting rejoices in the progress that the principle of household suffrage has made in the recent dis cussions in Parliament, and earnestly calls on all sincere Reformers to oppose those restrictive provisions in the Bill now before the House of Commons which prevent that principle being carried out in its integrity. 3. That this meeting expresses its deep sorrow and humiliation at the present unsatisfactory state of affairs in Ireland, and urgently presses upon the Government to pass such immediate measures as will tend to restore propriety and happiness to that country. The speeches were chiefly condemnatory of the present Reform Bill because of its restrictive charac ter; indeed, nearly the whole of the speakers advo cated manhood suffrage and vote by ballot. Though Mr. Gladstone was alluded to, there was no expres sion of confidence in him, as he was deemed by the speakers as not being far enough advanced in his political creed. It is noteworthy that the several chairmen, in putting the different resolutions to the assembly, never asked for a show of hands to the contrary, and that not more than one-tenth, if even so large a proportion, of the multitule held up their hands for the propositions submitted for their ap proval. Though the procession was not so great as at the demonstration in October, the number of persons on Woodhouse,-mow was equally as large, or rather larger, but there was ample evidence that hundreds, if not thousands, of them had assembled as sightseers, and for a diversion in their keeping of the Easter holidays. The proceedings throughout were of an orderly character. No opposition pro ceeded from any quarter, not even from the authors of the following form of petition, which had been published in the earlier part of the day : " TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, &C. _ _ " We, the undersigned, respectfully believe that the agitation for a better representation of the people in your honourable house has become a public nuiruce, not only Obstructive of trade and commerce, but to all useful and practical legislation, and inimical to the peace and pros perity of the country. Your petitioners believe that the bill introduced into your honourable house by has Majesty's Ministers, having for its basis Residential Household Suf frage, with personal payment of rates, and other special franchises contained therein, will satisfy the honest, loyal, and well-disposed people of this country, and will settle the question for a ion time to come." The out-door proceedings were over by 5 o'clock, and the weather remained fine to the last. LEEDS, Tuesday Evening. In the evening there was a public meeting in the Corn Exchange,. which was well attended, but the room was by no means crowded. The proceedings appeared to excite less attention than has often been shown at an ordinary meeting of Liberals in Leeds n i‘ o l p .P ar " t in the afternoon at the time of a Parliamentary election. Mr. A m ir r ..B s a t h a 3::,_ pfAelrlo.Pdcie.AedliPnigr". W. E. Eo ok b e .adF at otar t s t te e enr, evening meeting. Each of these hon. members was received with much ap plause. Mr. Alderman CARTER presided, and said that the present position of the Reform question showed that the Radicals were the only men still found hnu tt_ in standing fast to their colours. llede lrnd cl o are declared the ow ß w e f a o a r t n h i meetingebest ever he ie in Yolyrkshire. on ll i d that day Mr. KELL, of Bradford, proposed, and Mr. Coun cillor GAUNT, of Leeds, seconded, the first resolu tion, which, like those following it, was the same that had been adopted at the out-door meeting. Mr. ERNEST JONES supported the resolution. He said by Mr. Gladstone resigning temporarily the leadership of the House of Commons it might be in ferred that he had resigned the £5 rating limit. If Mr.• Gladstone wanted to lead them in a real house hold suffrage campaign they would follow him. (Cheers.) Mr. BEALES also supported the resolution. He denounced the traitors in the Liberal camp. He said Mr. Bright, at Birmingham, h a d spo k en of household suffrage and manhood suffrage as being phantoms, but the explanation of that was that he meant those suffrages were phantoms before the eyes of a corrupt House of Commons. It was for the Reform League to make those phantoms reali ties, and it was not idle to say that the temper of the people on this patter was dangerous, and they The resolution was then adopted. The next resolution, whie.h was the second one a lopted at the afternoon meeting, was moved by Mr. Allen, of Leeds, and seconded by Mr. Snowden, of Halifax. Mr. 11•. E. Fortme, M.P., supported the resolu tion. Ile said that, though he came from the House of Commons after an exciting division, in which the Liberal party were defeated, he Would n. ~t allow that the Radical Reformers stood before the country a defeated party ; on the contrary, they had been the conquering party since last year—(cheers)— their principles had been gaining victories every day, and the Conservatives found it necessary tiocompete with the Liberals in professions of Reform. House hold suffrage was now so popular that the Tory leaders and Tory newspapers tried to persuade the people, in order to gain their support for the pre sent bill, that it contained the principles of house hold suffrage, but it would not do to be too easily persuaded. The Ministry might not themselves in tend to deceive, but Sir S. Northcote had said nothing could be more inaccurate than to call it household suffrage, and another member of the Mini stry had described it as a bill for residential ratepay ing household suff rage. (A laugh.) He then proceeded to examine what this suffrage was, and to compare it with the present franchise, which he said might be called a residential ratepaying £lO franchise. It would be seen at once there was no great difference, and that the difference was greatly in favour of their opponents. This was the good part of their bill, that it was not a resideutial suffrage,but it was given under certain conditions to all householders, whatever might be the Nalue of the house in which they lived. So far it was good, but be could not disguise from himself that the time for a £6 rental or £5 rating franchise was now passed. Ile thanked the Tories and the Go vernment for having done this much—that they did not base the franchise on the value of the house in which a man lived, but upon a far better principle —the principle that the head of a family should have a vote. This bill opened the franchise to .700,000 householders under £lO, and so far it was good. He stated at some length the objections which are entertained to making the payment of rates a condition of voting, and urged some other objections to the present bill, and then said that with respect to the Liberal party, if they were to have a leader, was any otter passible than Mr. Gladstone ? Mr. Gladstone had one fault, and with the present House of Commons he (Mr. Forster) feared it was a great fault, which detracted from the power which otherwise his matchless genius and eloquence, rivalled only by Hr. Bright, would be sure to se cure, and that fault was that he was too much in earnest, but he believed that was a fault for which the country would easily forgive him. The impor tance of that letter which he had written must not be exaggerated. He did not interpret the letter as Mr. E. Jones had done. He should be grieved in deed so to interpret it. There might be some calling , themselves Reforiners in the House Of Commons, who had more confidence in the zeal, the reforming zeal, of Mr. Disraeli than in the proVed services of Mr. Gladstone ; there • might be some Conservative Liberals who had more con fidence in the statesmanship of Lord Grosvenor than of Mr. Gladstone, for the House of Commons was a large body, and some of them were crotchety, so crotchety that they had greater faith in Mr. Roebuck than in Mr. Bright. (Cries of " No, no.") But the House of Commons wits a representative body, and, taught by the experience of political life, when they found the country in earnest crotchety men disappeared. (Applause.) Well,.theceuntry now was in earnest, and by degrees the House-of Com mons finding that out the Liberal party would be come mere united and more inclined to put their faith in Mr. Gladstone than they had hitherto been. (Applause.) Mr. STANSFELD, M.P., next addressed the meet ing. He took a view of the reform question which showed that the change of mind in the ruling classes was startling and extraordinary. Men had been unwilling not merely to grapple with, but to touch this question. Now, there was too much willingness to meddle with it. In Order to get out of the way he found many people not disinclinei to say that Mr. Disraeli having cajoled his own party and beaten the Liberal party, there was nothing to do but to pass a bad bill and trust to another agitation. to effect its amendment. Mr. Gladstone's letter bad been interpreted in that despondent view, but he (Mr. Stansfeld) was glad to be at this meeting and to protest against that interpretation:; if that wasiNlr. Gladstone's view, he (Mr. Stansfeld), as a humble member of the Liberal party, should feel it his duty to differ from him, because he was not prepared to admit the incompetency of the Liberal party. He was not prepared to make the present bill equal to what the Liberals themselves might have brought in, but still it was possible to make it useful and acceptable to the country. (Cheers.) Waiving the objection to the ratepaying clauses, the principle of personal payment of rates could not be applied with justice to boroughs where compounding obtained. What was the position of the Government by having defeated that view ? They were bound so to apply the principle as that it should work justly between the compounding and the non-compounding householder ; but they could not do so without making their measures so large that it was questionable whether they would carry it. Mr. Gladstone seemed to see correctly the Parliamentary situation, and he therefore abandoned his £5 rating amendment,because the situation was so changed that the Liberal party must look at this question anew, and take counsel together as to what should be done in committee. His words in his letter were, " I should then be prepared again to attempt concerted action for the public good." Those were no uncertain words, and the right hon. gentleman bad used other language to the same effect. What, then, was the question Mr. Gladstone called upon all Liberals to consider ? It was what must be the concerted action, and what the improvements in the Government Bill, which should be attempted. He (Air. Stansfeld) agreed with Mr. Forster that their clear policy was to unite as a party on these two points—the two years' resi.; dence clause, which should be modified, and the pro posal of Mr. Hibbert, which all were acquaintedwith. The hon. gentleman went on to notice an attack made upon him by the Times, which he said bad evidently been in the confidence of Mr. Disraeli. He asked the limes whether there had not been a collusion, or no ground for an expression which he (Mr. Stansfeld) had made use of at Halifax. It might be in the power, of Mr. Disraeli to deceive the dissidents of the Liberal party ; but a certain letter had been brought under notice by Mr. B. Osborne, which Mr. Spofforth, the Conservative Parliamentary agent, bad written, ask ing plainly, " Will the Government measure or Lord Grosvenor's amendment best suit the interests of the Conservative party in your constituency?" The hon. gentleman asked what could be the meaning of such a circular as that, and went on to enforce the necessity for concerted action among the Liberal party. Ile anticipated that Mr. Gladstone would divide the house on the two years' residence clause, and the Liberal party would degrade it, and pronounce its own doom if it allowed this illusory measure to pass without attempting to mould it in the manner sug gested by some of the amendments now on the table of the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BAINES, M.P., also supported the resolution, and declared his utmost confidence in Mr. Gladstone as the leader of the Liberal party. The second resolution was then carried. Mr. G. POTTER moved, and Mr. DERRICK seconded, the third resolution, w hich was adopted. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman. BIRMINGHAM. Yesterday a " Conference" on the Reform ques tion was held at the Royal Hotel, Birmingham ; the Mayor, Mr. George Dixon, preßided, and there were about 150 gentlemen present, including Professor Rogers and delegates from London, Belfast, Oxford, Worcester, Northampton, Derby, Wolverhampton, Ross, Huntingdon, Leamington, Stortrport, Little Bowden; Bewdley, Stafford, Manchester, Thnbury, and other towns. The Birmingham representatives included Mr. T. S. Wright, Mr. Alderman llawkes, Mr. IV. Harris, Mr. W. H. Deykin, Mr. Radford, chairman. and Mr. Bateson, secretary of the Veform League. The following resolutions were proposed . .qt;riatitn, discussed somewhat discursively, and ulti mately carried :--" That this Conference, having in view the present laws of rating, are cf opinion that the ratepaying clauses of the Tory Reform Bill are framed to exclude from the register the great mass of householders who by occupation would be other wise entitled to the franchi. , e, and to supply every facility for electoral corruption, and that the pro vision required of from two to three years' residence creates an insulting distinction between the new and the present electors." " That the Govern ment, by proposing a higher county qualifica tion than was • proposed by the Tory Bill of 1859, and higher than was accepted by the House of Commons last Session, has shown its determination to oppose at every point the just demands of the people." " That, in the opinion of this Conference, it is impossible to secure a true representation •of the peoples- until all tho legal -charges attending eleetiouft,..ire defray out of the borough and county rates, and all otlier charges are declared illegal." (The foregoing was moved 'by Professor Rogers:) " That the proposal to in troduce the system of voting by papers will have the effect of promoting corruption among the con stituencies of the country." At this stage the Conference adjourned until the afternoon, when it resumed at the Committee-room of the Town-ball. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. A conference of the Radical Reformers of the two northern counties of Durham and Northum berland had been held in that town yesterday to con sider the present position of the Reform question. Delegates were present from Newcastle-on-Tyne, Shields, Durham city, Darlington, Stockton, Gateshead, Jarrow, and the Northumberland and Durham manufacturing and pit villages. Mr. Joseph Cuwen, jun., occupied the chair, and about 100 delegates were present. A large amount of discussion took place on the Government Reform Bill, and there was a considerable divergence of opinion on the rating clauses, several delegates in sisting upon direct rating as a sound principle of enfranchisement. The following were the resolu tions agreed to :—" That in the opinion of this conference the Reform Bill of the Government is objectionable, and that no course is open to re formers but to give their decided opposition to it. in its present form. That in the opinion of this conference any amendment to the bill that fixes a rating or rental figure as the qualification for the borough franchise will not be acceptable to the re formers of this district. That the local members of Parliament should be urged to seek the removal of all checks that tend to curtail the principle of household suffrage, which the Government lay down as the principle of the bill. That in the opinion of the Conference the qualifications for a vote should be the same in the country as the town. That the local members be requested to resist the introduction of voting papers into the bill, and that a tenement or part of a house should be declared to confer the franchise upon the occupier of it. That the conference has heard with deep re gret of Mr. Gladstone's withdrawal from the posi tion of leader of the Liberal party in the House of Commons, and expresses its unabated confidence in his honesty, but, at the same time, hopes that be Wpill see the necessity of declaring his adhesion to the principle of household suffrage." It was also re solved to urge the Reform Associations in the non to petition Parliament in favour of household suf frage pure and simple, and to he prepared to sup port candidates at the next election advocating Radical opinions. The chairman, secretary, and treasurer of the Northern Reform League were re quested to draw out an address to Mr. Gladstone, and sign it on behalf of the meeting, and forward it to that gentleman. After the conference the dele gates took tea together, and in the evening an open air meeting was held in the Cattle Market, which was addressed by several speakers. YEOVIL. The Reformeri of West Somerset, after partaking of a public tea, held a meeting in the Corn Ex change on Monday evening last, under the presi dency of the Mayor, Mr. J. Raymond. Upwards of 600 were present. The meeting was very unani mous. The retirement of Mr. Gladstone from the leadership of the Liberal party was the subject of universal regret, but a hope was expressed that the voice of the country would succeed in inducing him to withdraw his resignation. The seceders from the Liberal party, which led to the defeat of Mr. Glad stone's amendment, were denounced. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Clark, son-in-law of Mr. Bright, Mr. Lowater, Mr. Clinker, Rev. Mr. Ellis, Rev. Mr. Klench, and Mr. Mark Price, of Manches ter, who pointed out the i n congruities in the Go vernment bill, and showed by figures that while in some boroughs the household suffrage pro posed would increase the .number of voters 12 per cent., in others the increase would be 398 per cent. The following are the resolutions which were unanimously carried:—" 1. That this meeting desires to assert its unabated confidence in Mr. Bright and the other leaders of the - Liberal party, but would respectfully suggest that as an attempt at household suffrage has been introduced by a Tory Government, household suffrage with the one qualification of ,a six months' residence should be the main object ak! .. ied at by the Liberal party. 2. That this meeting is of opinion that the Tory scheme for the redistribution of seats is ludicrously inadequate to remedy existing anomalies, that the ballot is necessary for the protection of the voter, and that no bill will meet the just requirements of the people which does not include a lodger fran chise and provide for shorter Parliaments. 3. That this meeting deeply regrets the defection of professed Liberal members, which caused the defeat of Mr. Gladstone's amendment. At the same time it trusts that the right hon. gentleman will reconsider his de termination to make no further efforts to amend the Government Bill, and is of opinion that in continu ing those efforts he will be certain to secure the hearty sympathy and support of the great majority of his countrymen. 4. That this meeting deeply sympathises with the gathering of the National Re form Union in their high appreciation of the late Richard Cobden, to whose memory they this day inaugurate a statue; and it hereby pledges itself to united exertion and increased agitation until the industrious classes are fairly represented in the Commons House of Parliament, and their interests faithfully promoted by local and parochial authori ties. 5. Tha' a petition to Parliament be prepared embodying the foregoing resolution s, and that it be signed - by the chairman on behalf of the meeting." PREMATURE BALDNESS. —Mr. J.

COAL IN POLAND. --Boring s are continubd the whole length of the railway lines in the kingdom of Poland; these operations, which h ave already led to the discovery of four seams of coal, h ave now obtained a still further success, as a fifth seam has just been found at Dombroff, and a sixth in the forest of Stohemoschiton.—Journal of the Society of iirt3. third anniversary dinner, for which the late Mr. T.

Slous (the author of " True to the Core"), Mr. Croker, Mr. B. Webster, jun., Mr. Mohamet, Mr. Gruneisen, Mr. G. B. Childs, Mr. R. J. Wool, Mr. Raw, Mx. S. Burton, Mr. Lavender, Mr. Churchill, &c. At the conclusion of the dinner (which included every luxury of the season, and was served by Messrs. Willis, of St. James's, in a manner that gave marked satisfaction) the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with much enthusiasm. The CHAIRMAN subsequently gave the toast of the day, observing that by the will of a great and good smt o e,or, they were once again as,tf_sablt(7. to do honour to his memory, but the first wish of thei r deceased benefactorde ceas edarnyr"not yot f fotwa eminence s er ainm t a h mg a o t iei t teba h ulu e l y s bit peculiarly dlol for all hisu l d d Tohtw o ei mug h e;r o ,e, n as o tt o ur but pt 000de t dt o uilp olv t ah h tnoe e a l mm va l e i a on the genius displayed in his works would be to tell an oft-told tale. Without further preface, there fore, he gave the toast "l'o the Immortal Memory of William Shakspere." (Great cheering.' Mr. CHURCHILL then went through the form of reading the will of the deceased gentleman, and the chairman subsequently gave the " Donor of the Play," in the course of which he referred to the ver. satile talents of the late T. P. Cooke, and to the bril liant success that had attended his career as an actor, observing that he had left behind him a sincere evidence of the love and interest he felt in his pro fession. After stating that the drama produced by Mr. Slous had realised at the Surrey £527 6s. 6d., and at Liverpool £6OO, and expressing his belief that before next year the council would have a large sum to dole out for the benefit of the recipients, be concluded by coupling the name of Mr. Cumming with the toast. Mr. GRUNEISEN proposed "The Drama," in an interesting speech. Mr. SLOUS replied, and concluded by giving ".Success to the Institution." The CHAIRMAN afterwards proposed " The War dens,", in terms to the effect that there were two or three to whom the College was indebted for the getting up of the present entertainment, but to none was more credit due than to Mr. Anson, their honorary secretary. Other toasts were subsequently given and drunk, and the company separated after spending a most agreeable afternoon. The musical selections, which were of the highest class, were under the direction of Mr. T. Kings bury, who presided at the piano, and the artistes who gave their services were Mrs. Henri Drayton, Miss Julia Derby, Mr. Henri Drayton, and Mr. Edward Murray. 1 LADY'S GLIMPSE OF THE LATE WAR IN BOHEMIA. --1- Miss Eden has written a pleasant book on the late German war. Her sympathies are all with Austria, such a display of sympathies for the van quished, after the waste of praise lavished so largely on victorious and successful Prussia, is de lightful to witness. During the war the authoress was staying at Bodenbach on the Elbe, and made the most of her opportunities in seeing and hearing what was going on. Her de scriptions are very lively and life-like.. Tier sym pathies are as warm and genuine as her detestation of Bismarck and the needlegun is thorough-going. She evidently shared the belief—so common at the time when Benedek stood on the plains of Bohemia confronting the boastful hosts of Prussia—that Austria had merely to put out her strength to throw the Prussian armies back on Berlin, and to march into that northern capital. Though there was a mystery about Benedek's movements whiCh surprised even friends less enthusiastic about Austria than Miss Eden, yet few doubted the military power of Austria, which was one of the traditions of Eu rope, and yet few, if any, i ma gined that in a few short weeks, a fter only one heavy blow, Austria would suffer such a col ut laps weakness e. We now know that it was not strategy, b and disorganization in the Austrian war department, and treachery on the part of Bavaria, whiCh prompted the dilatory tactics of Benedek. But we must not detain our readers from judging for themselves of the pleasant and lively manner in which Miss Eden delights to describe scenes out of that short but disastrous Bohemian campaign. We give the following scene as a favourable spe cimen of her descriptive powers:— " About twelve o'clock wo were disturbed bYa rap out side the window, which looked into the lane, and had a raised pathway running past it. A very brown face appeared, and J—, instantly mounting the dresser, opened the window. It was one of the Jagers, who said he was dreadfully cold—might he come in and warm him self ? Oh! yes,' said J—, 'and have some beer also.' So in marched the Jager, and we had to go and dis cover the key of the cellar, as well as the way to draw the beer. By and bye, others of the bivouac finding the warm kitchen better than the cold night air, we had the room full of them. J —not onlygave them all beer, but she and her maid cut them thick slices of bread and batter. They wore so pleased and delighted that in the warmth and light they soon regained their usual spirits and conversational powers. We laughed heartily, think ing how astonished our friends in England would have been if they could only have seen us in this sanded kitchen from twelve at mid-night till two in the morning, sur rounded by large open baskets of crockery, all packed ready to be carried away, with JEgers seated on every available place, chairs, ;stools, and oven the kitchen dresser—the floor strewn with their knapsacks, and their round hats covered by drooping black plumes (no roses in them now) hanging on every available peg and projec tion. I was sitting over the fire, Gamp-like, with my bonnet and shawl on ready for a start. Whilst J-- and her maid attended to the m en ' s suppers, I gave them lights for there pipes and cigars. I also did the con versational department ; and very pleasant and. amusing' they were to talk to — so n atural and simple, like chil dren. . . . The questions the soldiers asked us wore most amusing. When, in reply to the question, 'What country did we'come from ?' I answered, ' From England,' some of them l ooked as if the)' h a d never heard z of such a country before, whilst others seemed aston muchthey not nn ished, and asked, 'Why were we living in Boden e ',lei lle , ca:u t l.v s w e e as r th ere iblaoctehl?: D,Widhtyhewehroeusweebeulpongsotolatues; was a mine going to bo sprung close by at four that morl d ike l e ig b h u b s li n,, t B l B l . em , Ti a i s ey l w s o u n p d p e o re s d e tho all the English light, with blue oyes and fair. hair, liko wh,ll e t g l o oked This had come from England, and asked, the other lady ?' All this chat served to while away the long hou rs of expectation. At lialf-past two the y said th e y must go, as t h e lieutena nt and the rest of the men would, b e returning from the woods. One man, who s eemed s eemed to be the spokesman for the others, came up to m e, and, after making a long speech in Italian, ended by c aving that it was doubtful if they should ever see us called them to ag ain on earth, but whether safedestiny ays them with ithlov a e ga a i u n d gratitude or remember the shheoaulvedn, sent home to Italy, they two English ladies, and the pleasant night they had passed in the In n a t Bodenbach Mr. Murray Dunlop has announced to the elec tors of Greenock that he will not again offer himself for re-election.
