SCIENTIFIC AND ORNAMENTAL PRESENTS. might be worth while to inquire how far Mr, Whalley and others are legally responsible for a conspiracy of which Murphy was the agent, and that breach of peace the iwvitable issue. We believe, however, that they expected nothing of the kind. If they had been men of sense they would have expected it, but there's great virtue in an if. If they were not men of sense no blame attaches to them. They arc as wise as Hood's experi enced cook, who cleared a copper flue with all the contents of her master's powder-horn, and said contemptuously to the doubting kitchen-maid, Before ever you was born I was used to things like these, I shall put it in the fire and let it burn up by degrees. Murphy was sent'down to clear with a little of his oratorical gunpowder some of the flues of theology in Birmingham an 1 the black country. 11e poured out all his gunpowder at once and it refused to burn up by degrees, but blew up with a bounce that, for the moment, startled all the country. It would have been some comfort tesus if the operator had been himself laid on his back. But on the whole it is better news that there were no bones broken. The poor ignorant Irish might well be stirred to riot by abu sive language that few educated Protestants have read without strong anger and contempt. The Murphy ites retaliated with a cruel raid upon the homes of the poor Irish, the police and military were called in, but there was no more danger. The explosion was over, and could no more be sustained through several days than if it had been literally an explo sion of gunpowder. Murphy remained to magnify himself and his nostrums before thin audiences, though access to his booth was free as access is to any quack in the world's fair. The paltry fellow was in no danger of being roasted, except by the inquisition of British jokers, who are never without a citizen or two upon the spot. THE " WESTMINSTER GAZETTE" ON THE BIRMING HAM RIOTS.—We had occasion to allude, a short time since, to certain transactions that took place in Wolverhampton in connection with a person named Murphy, who was then instrumental in disturb ing the public peace of that town, under a body calling itself the " Protestant Electoral Union." W . e do not profess to be the abettors of Protestan l tism ; yet we are not so far its enemies as to judge of it by the language of the lowminded and foul mouthed agent whom the above-named society has chosen to speak in its name. We are sure that there is no respectable Protestant in these king doms, in the enjoyment of his right senses, but feels ashamed of the wretched hireling who so wan tonly insults his Catholic fellow-subjects, and who, utterly regardless of the laws of both God and man, wickedly bears false witness against his neighbours, and then disturbs the public peace, and causes riot, disorder, and bloodshed, in the name of Protestantism. No, we shall not do such an in justice to the respectable members of any sect of professing Christians as to believe that they have any sympathy in common with a being so degraded as. Murphy. Speaking of the Catholic clergy, that vile man has said, in one of his demoniacal har angues, " that every Popish priest was a murderer, a cannibal, a liar, and a pickpocket." And we are told by the local papers, in the:report of the proceedings, that this language was received "with applause " by those who went to hear him. This shows that the ignorant fanatics and roughs who gathered round him were, if possible, as unscrup ulous and foul-minded as himself. But we conclude that those who applauded such language were not Protestants in the true sense of the word, but must have been the off-scourings of Birmingham, al though there are three or four names mixed up with the proceedings, whose owners, although narrow-minded and proverbially uncharitable to wards Catholics, would have shown more self respect by keeping aloof from such company. Not satisfied with spewing out these vile calumnies on the Catholic bishops and clergy, this hireling, paid by those from whom better things ought to be ex pected, next lavished his foul abuse upon the Pope, of whom he said, " If ever there was a rag and bone gatherer in the universe, it was the Pope him self." And the report of the meeting adds that this language was received with "laughter." Un less positive madness could be pleaded on his behalf, it is certain that Murphy is answerable for the consequences naturally resulting from language so false, malicious, and irritating; but whilst we hold him answerable, we say there are three or four others identified with him who are doubly so, and hope they will be made amenable to the law. Murphy is but the paid tool, the buffoon, the fire brand thrust forward on the stage by others, as appears by their own statement. For a deputation consisting of Colonel Brockman, Mr. Whalley, M.P., the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, and a Mr. Steele, waited on the magistrates of Birmingham, and told them that Murphy was employed for the purpose by them. Hence they are the stage managers, of the " Tabernacle," and Murphy is only their hire ling in getting up disturbances of the'public peace. If Murphy and Whalley be placed in the criminal dock to take their trial for the gross outrages on English society of which they are the authors, we apprehend that the plea of insanity cannot be sus tained on the part of the former. We are glad to see that every respectable journal in this metro polis, without regard to politics or religion, agrees in condemning thisWhalley-Murphy system of Pro testantism, carried on by smashing the doors and 1 1 windows and plundering the property of the Ca tholic inhabitants of Birmingham. Well may all respectable Protestants exclaim, " Oh, save us from our friends." But while we hope to see the law vindicated, and society restored to its usual quiet in Birmingham, we also trust that the con duct of the police in that town will be strictly and impartially inquired into. The civil force is main tained in these kingdoms for the purpose of pre serving public order, and hence it is above all things necessary that it should act with perfect impar tiality ; and not only this, but that. it should act in such a manner as to be above suspicion in this respect. We know that the police often have un pleasant duties to discharge, and are unwilling to say one harsh word regarding them, or to judge them prematurely. We, therefore, abstain at present from uttering anything in their con demnation, but feel sure that all who desire to see the laws respected, and life and property ! protected, will agree with us that the recent conduct of the police force employed at Birming ham galls for an immediate and searching inquiry to be instituted by the Government. The inhabitants of Park-street have had their doors and windows broken, their homes plundered, and their shutters and other tim bers torn from their houses, and converted into bludgeons ; and, according to the testimony of Mr. Jaffray, J.P., given at a private sitting of the magis trates, the destruction of Park-street was the work of the 'Whalley-Murphy rioters who called them selves "the party of order." Mr. Jaffray is reported in the local papers to have told his brother magis trates that " the unvarying testimony of the people of Park-street and its immediate neighbourhood — English and Irish, Protestant and Catholic, rich and poor, respectable and otherwise—is, that the destruction of Park-street was the work of the so called ' party of order.' These generally leading the police, but sometimes led by them, and actuated by a desire for mischief and plunder, were let loose upon the unfortunate inhabitants." Here is the representation of a gentleman holding her Ma jesty'sh. commission of the peace, who reports to wreckers magisterial colleagues that this party of __ d doors, and plunderers demolished the windows police." This is a very grave by a g ny ordinary against the police.

The Recorder ordered that these books, which he pronounced to be ob scene and immoral in their tendency, should be re stored to their money-grubbing vendors ; and we now have some of the consequences resulting from the encouragement thus given to men who are dead to all sense of either morals or decency. We have the Catholics insulted in the g rossest manner, their c l erg y denounced as " murderers eve r y one," their houses wrecked and plundered, and the chief ma gistrateurphy h a e t l d hisup as s v eauniuobject meetingof s s thes na t , i , o rrah n; for Murphy said there was a stone thrown at the Mayor to-day—hoped it would do him good, and he would be the better if he got a couple more blows." 'We read in the report that this was received with cries of " Ilear, hear," and great cheering ! We have carefully read through the proceedings, and cannot see that Mr. Dixon, the Mayor of Birmingham, has done anything to deserve being held up by this mercenary as a target for stonethrowers. Indeed, the only fault we see on the part of the Mayor and his magisterial confreres, is that they did not pocket." We do not the leash wonder that the greatest consternation was manifested on his ap pearance in the place, and that the Mayor very properly refused to allow hint the use of the Town hill. Nothing daunted, however, Mr. Murphy and his friends erected a tabernacle large enough to hold about 4,000 persons, where on Sunday after oen lie began. to hold his " services." His manner of commencing the fir s t " s ervice" we have already quoted. He followed it up by the assurance that they knew him, and he could prove what he said." His notions of proof, however, are singular. We used to be taught that it is to prove a universal negative. But till this feat is accom plished by his Romish opponents Mr. Murphy con siders his own cause to be triumphant. He was prepared to meet any Popish priest, from Bishop Ullathorne to the biggest ragamuffin in the lot ; and if ever there was a rag-and-bone:gatherer in the universe, it was the Pope himself ; and if what he said were not true let them prove it." That is to say, the Pope is proved to be the biggest raga muffin in the universe, and every priest .a " mur derer, cannibal, liar, and pickpocket," till they have proved to Mr. Murphy's satisfaction that they are not! After this hopeful commencement it seems to have struck the lecturer that his language was not altogether calculated to win the confidence of the Papists he intended to convert, for he said that he had come to Birmingham at the risk of his life, that " his life was in the hands of God"—rather a strange reason for using it to break one of the first commandments of God—and " he was eternal until his work was done," a view so exceedingly recondite, both in its metaphysical and theological aspects, that we can not presume to explain it. Still less do we choose to retail the tissue of profane nonsense which fol lowed, and which only serves to show that Mr. Murphy's respect for the first table of the law is equal to his respect for the second. But when he proceeded to insist that " if Popery had the power she would roast him," we can hardly be wrong in observing that if Murphy had the power he would roast the Papists, as indeed he does already to the utmost extent of his power. A violent attack fol lowed on " the cowardly act of the authorities" in refusing him the Town-hall, winding up with the following challenge—we prefer to give the ipsissima verba of the speaker —" They will walk over my dead body in Birmingham, or I will have my five . weeks' say. They shall walk over the dead body of Colonel Brockman and of Robert Steel, our Secretary ; or we will have freedom of speech and liberty of conscience in Birming ham." We sincerely trust that the " five weeks' say" will be very considerably abridged, though without the " martyrdom" of the doughty Protes tant triumvirate—for Mr. Murphy also intimated. his prospect of joining " the glorious army of martyrs ;" and we cannot but regret that the Mayor did not carry out his professed intention on Monday of requiring the lecturer at once to quit the town. During the whole of Monday Birmingham was in * state of chronic alarm, the troops were called out, and the magistrates sat en permanence. On that morning, however, a new actor appeared on the scene in the person of Mr. Whalley, M.P., who had an interview with the magistrates, not for the pur pose of strengthening their hands in quelling this disgraceful outrage, but to claim for Mr. Murphy " the right of freedom of speech," and to deny that he had been " indiscreet in his language !" This, be it remembered, was after Murphy had said all we have quoted and a good deal more, for be held an " evening service" also on Sunday, in his Tabernacle. The Mayor very properly replied that he held Mr. Murphy morally, if not legally, responsible for the riots, and should require him immediately to quit the town—a requisition which, for some unexplained reason, was unluckily not enforced. Instead of it, two more services were held on Monday evening— one at half .past six and another at eight o'clock—at the latter of which Mr. Whalley delivered a long address in abuse of the Mayor. At the earlier ser vice Mr. Murphy discoursed on the same exciting theme as follows. The passage is a fair sample of his style of oratory : lie had got a building that was a witness against Popery and Tractarianism. (Loud cheering.) It was a building that was a witness for the right of speech and liberty of conscience. (Great cheering.) That right be would carry out though they should walk over his body as a corpse. (Cheers.) He said to the Mayor of Birming ham he must and should protect him. lie would say to that gentleman that he was his (Mr. Murphy's) servant while he was in Birmingham. (Loud opplause.) And as his servant he must do his duty. (Hear, hear.) There was a stone thrown at the Mayor that Atty. He hoped it would do him good, and that the Popish stones would lot him see what Popery was; and ho would be better if ho got a couple more blows. (Hear, hear, and great cheering.) It would be idle to waste any words on Messrs. Murphy, Whalley, Brockman, and Co. We can say nothing better, and we need say nothing worse, of them than that they are quite worthy of .each other. One thing is quite clear. If the bird that can sing and won't sing ought to be made to sing, the bird that can only sing a song which turns all other songs into discord should be made to hold its tongue. Mr. Murphy's claim for " liberty of speech" is simply the claim of the foul-mouthed ruffian who walks up to you.in the street and informs you that you are a thief and a liar, and he will knock you down, or get his friends to do it for him, if you deny it. His lingo is a mongrel compound of Holywell-street and the cockpit, interspersed with the pious profanity of Exeter Hall and the Record. The object of his attack is the religion of some millions of his fellow-countrymen and fellow- Christians—if it is not to prostitute the name of Christian to say so ; and its professed intention is . to rouse to fever-heat the fiercest animosities be tween those who are just beginning to learn, after three centuries of barren controversy, that they have common sympathies and a common work in this life, and common hopes in the next. It would be difficult to conceive any object more unmixedly detestable, or any more criminal means of promot ing it, than this truculent preacher of ill-will to men has hit upon. Neither shall we stop to argue with those members of the "Protestant Electoral Union," if such there be, who consider this method of advocacy beneficial to the cause of Protestantism. Appeals to their reason would be as inappropriate as appeals to their charity. The staunchest Romanist could desire nothing better in. the interests of his creed than that Mr. Murphy should have his "five weeks' say" unchecked at Birmingham. There is a further point to be noted in the case of this mountebank hireling, who goes from place to place, scattering broadcast the most brutal calum nies against a loyal and peaceable body of religion ists, that he takes care to select for the scene of his insolent abuse precisely those localitieS where it is sure to lead, and probably intended to lead, at once to a breach of the peace. It is too much to expect human nature, and especially Irish human nature, to remain unmoved when a tissue of the vilest ribaldry is directed against all that the hearers hold most sacred. Nor is this all; Murphy is not con tent with abusing their religion. There are at most some 20 or 30 Catholic priests in Birmingham, every one of whom must be known by sight to the great majority of his audience ; when, therefore, he speaks of the Roman Catholic clergy as cannibals and murderers, it is very much the same thing as saying that Mr. A. and Mr. 8., who live in the next street, are cannibals and mur derers. Such language is not only foully libellous, but is a direct incitement to tumult and .blood shed. It is high time some way should be found to put down a public nuisance of this kind by the strong arm of the law. The only argument that Murphy and his fellows are capable of understand ing is an argument enforced by th e p o li ce . The sooner he and his employers of the " Protestant Electoral Union" are made to realise their direct re sponsibility before the law, for the attacks on life and property, of which they are the immediate in -atigators, wherever they or their paid emissaries Gordon was sent e same crime. We a to pli p erai prison n t h i e n b e l t 7 t B e o r . for t G t e h o o r g observe that, having exhausted the resources of -his scurrility on the Roman Catholic doctrine of the mass, Murphy is announced next to lecture on " the Confessional." For the interests, not only of public order, but of common decency, we trust he will be silenced before this part of his pro gramme is carried out. If be is not, the worst of the Birmingham riots may be still to come. THE " EXAMINER" ON THE "PROTESTANT PLOT." —Mr. Whalley may yet live to be known in song as the Protestant Guy Faux. When men simply con temned the foul-mouthed fanatic Murphy, who last Sunday disturbed the day of rest at Birmingham by stirring up in God's desecrated name the wicked passions of the ignorant, there came upon the scene Mr. Whalley, as open alder and abettor in the plot for blowicg up the minds of her Majesty's poor Irish subjects at Birmingham with the gunpowder of theological hate. There was Mr. Whalley showing his lantern, throwing light on some hitherto unheard of gang having a name with the misused word "Pro testant" in it, and identifying" Murphy as one with himself in the conspiracy. Since th ere can be no doubt that the direct and inevitable result of such foul language as Murphy used, in a booth.set in the midst of an illiterate population whose deepest and strongest feelings he took the vilest ways he could find of insulting, must be a breach of the peace, it rift.NAAIENTS for the Drawing-room, Library, k! an t Dining-room, eonsietingot a new and eiegant assort ine it of VASES, Figures, Groups.

STAMPED sd. ac Llere to their resolution, and prevent Murphy, Whalley, and Co. from holding their meeting, and thereby causing so serious a breach of the peace. Murphy has now announced that he is an Irishman. May we ask what relation he is to the pseudo monk of that name, who formerly lived in the town of Youghall, in the county of Cork, who furnished his house in splendid fashion at the expense of honest tradesmen, and who then suffered a dis graceful imprisonment in Cork gaol? As this man is not ashamed to parade his name in the news papers as an Irishman, perhaps he will supply the public with the information here asked for? THE ATLAN7IC CABLES. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—lnterested as all the world now is in the question of submarine telegraphy, it will hardly need any apology on my part for forwarding you the enclosed copies of telegrams received by me as managing director during the recent repair of the cable of 1866 in Trinity-bay. The cables of 1865 and 1866, as they are called, once laid successfully, the next question to their proprietors was whether they would pay, and whether they could be subject to much injury from the drift of the Polar ice, and consequently entail costly and constant repair. The revenue, which this year promises to touch £450,000, or within £150,000 of the original cost of the last laid cable, answers the first query in a very satisfactory man ner ; the second doubt is equally well disposed of. , Throughout the spring the Atlantic Ocean on the American shore was beset with an unusual amount of ice disengaged from the Arctic regions by a sin gularly stormy winter, yet so well had the cables been carried along the deep trough of Trinity-bay that both remained intact, except in one case. In a heavy storm an iceberg drifted into the bay, and grounded about two miles and a half from the station at Heart's Content, resting, doubtless, on the. 1866 cable and eventually crushing it. We were requested by the Anglo-American Tele graph Company to test the point at which the in jury had occurred, and to undertake the repair as quickly as possible. Mr. Latimer Clarke and Mr. Willoughby Smith, the electrical engineers of the two companies, decided that the injury had occurred only at the point above indicated. The steamer Chiltern was prepared by us, and de spatched on the sth inst., under the command of Capt. Edington, who, you will remember, assisted in the Atlantic cable-laying expedition of last year, with a proper staff of competent persons under the superintendence of Mr. Clifford, one of this com pany's engineers, and, as the following telegrams show, went to the spot indicated, and within a few hours effected the necessary repairs at a very trivial charge to the revenue of the cables : " No. 1. " June 17. " From Heart's Content-office to Managing Director. " Chiltern arrived at 11 last night, all well, good voyage. Clifford says to you that Kerr (the Naval Surveyor) is not here, but he has left the chart and necessary instructions. " No. 2. " June 17, 1867. " From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. " May makes fault two miles from Heart's Con tent, and Clifford commences at once to repair. " No. 3. " June 18, 1867. " From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. " Insulation of '66 cable perfect from where they buoyed it last night ; distance about two miles from land (Heart's Content). They commenced again at five this morning, and are working with two boats just off the harbour. " No. 4. " July 19, 1867. " From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. " Weather fine in Trinity-bay yesterday and last night. Spoke with May on board (Chiltern) through the '66 cable about 12 last night; said they bad just made splice to deep sea end, and were paying out towards shore end, and they hoped to complete it early this morning. They are not at the office yet. Mr. Clarke is perfectly satisfied with the present arrangement of the shore end of the 'GG cable, therefore 1 shall not alter it. " No. 5. " June 19, 1867. " From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. " Cable perfect to shore (in Newfoundland). They are making a splice on beach. Mr. Clarke will then make an official test and will write you the result. " No. 6. " June 19, 1867. "From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. " The '66 cable is all right ; Mr. Clarke has given me certificate. Shall I send it by post, or keep it until I return ? They are now working through '66 cable. " No. 7. June 19, 1867. " From Willoughby Smith, Esq., Valentia, to Captain Osborn, London. "The insulation of both cables has improved im mensely ; they both give fully double the gutta percha resistance they did when tested last year, and both give the same results.", Mem.—No. 7 telegram refers to the improvement of the cables during the past twelve months. The ice is now gone for this season. The only cable touched will have be relaid in deeper water at that point, and the chances are that we may not have another injury for years—at any rate, of only a similarly trivial character. That, however, I trust will be still further guarded against by having in Trinity-bay a steam vessel properly fitted to main tain the only portion of the Atlantic cables likely to be injured iu any way,—a necessary insurance on the magnificent revenues those cables are yielding. I may mention, in conclusion, as an interesting fact that during the repairs I received a telegram in Broad-street which left Heart's Content-bay only 35 minutes previously, the major portion of the time having been occupied in the forwarding and delivery between Valentia, in Ireland, and London. —Yours obediently, SHERARD OSBORN, Captain. Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Com pany, Old Broad-street, London, June 21. GRAND ASSAULT OF ARMS AND FIELD SPORTS OF THE HON. ARTILLERY COMPANY. The annual sports of this celebrated corps took place on Saturday afternoon last, at the Finsbury Armoury Grounds, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The programme, which included walking, hurdle, flat, blindfold, champion, stilt, heavy marching order, sack, and other races, cavalry practice, bayonet v. sabre, riding at the ring, gun dis mounting, fencing and boxing, and the standard feats of cutting legs of mutton, silk, gauze, ribbon, ladies' gloves, &c., was ably conducted under the personal superinten dence of an lion. committee of gentlemen of the corps, and the different items were contested with considerable spirit, amid the frequent applause of the fashionable assemblage, which included a large number of gaily-dressed ladies, who appeared to take deep interest in the success of the "favourites" in many of the contests. The tastes of the admirers of the "sock and buskin" were provided for in " Richardion's Show," where a thrilling romantic drama, !n one act, entitled "Braganzeo the Brigand; or, The Spirit and the Proof," was produced at short intervals. The original Christy Minstrels•-" no connection with St. James's Hall"—also displayed their mimic and vocal talents for the entertainment of the visitors. "Aunt Sally" suffered from considerable attacks on her features during the day ; and the entertainments, which were enlivened by a choice selection of music, admirably performed by the regimental band, under the direction of Mr. Bird, were carried out in a highly successful manner.

THE SATURDAY REVIEW" ON THE BIR MINGHAM RlOTS.—Since we last wrote, Birming ham has been for three clays under the alternate rule of mob law and military law. Two whole streets have been sacked, a Roman Catholic chapel has been attacked and seriously damaged ; it was rumoured cn Thursday night that an assault was contemplated on the Catholic cathedral ; the Mayor has had a stone thrown at his head, the Riot Act has been read in three different places, a policeman lies dangerously wounded in the hospital, above a hundred persons have been arrested, and " the greatest excitement and fear prevail" through out the the town. And what, our readers may ask, is the meaning of all thin? Are the Birmingham people so exceptionally riotous, or are they com mencing a Reform agitation when a Reform Bill exceeding all that' the most sanguine of agitators can have looked for is already making its way through Parliament ? Nothing of the kind. Birmingham certainly had a bad name for its revolutionary vio lence during the Reform agitation of 1832, and it was there that a Church and King mob in the last century pulled down Dr. Priestley's Unitarian chapel. In the present case, however, though we e ca u n ti n r o el t y c a x g cu re s e e w th i e th co th n e du m ct uy o o f r t t h h e at p t e h o e p , moral,we must not legal, respo ns ibilit y o f w h at h as occurred doe if does not belong in o t Birmingham he . The of c a t z h cs u a t bel notorious i i si agent mp l the of pre sencethe " London Prot es t ant Electoral Union," William Murphy—an illit era t e I r i s h man " with all the Popery knocked out of him," according to his own account—whose vocation it has been for some time f p o a r st th t e o r p o u a r m po a s b e ou o t f th in e su c o l t u li n i g t , r y i n a s t a h e h i r g e r d o s s lecturer, s t and of most he r indecent y, m s a s n u n h j e e r e t t h s .e relln igion e o r es f paebeotut certainlya third all the Popery, if we may at all credit his own de scription of Popery, has not been knocked out of him ; for if ever there was a person on whom a double portion of the spirit of persecution rested, that person is Mr. Murphy, who exhibits his championship of " freedom of speech and freedom of conscience" by the fierce pro mulgation of sentiments whose only practical corollary would be the execution or the murder of every Papist. On Sunday last, in the course or his " passionate pilgrimage," Mr. Murphy came te( Bir mingham to deliver a five weeks' course of lectures on the Errors of Romanism. He could hardly 6ve chosen a town in England where such an experf meat as his would be more both of an impertinence and a blunder. There is at Birmingham a consi derable Roman Catholic population, living on ex cellent terms with the rest of the inhabitants ; it is also, as our readers may be aware, the residence of Dr. Newman, and of a Roman Catholic bishop. The Town Hall is frequently used for Catholic meetings and bazaars, and the local charities are freely supported by Catholics and Protestants in common, and by collections made in their re spective churches. It was only the other day that Dr. Manning, not unfairly, quoted Bir mingham in illustration of the " silver age of controversy," when all bitterness of feeling between rival sectaries should be laid aside. Such is the place selected for his five weeks' course of anti- Popery declamation by the hired agent of a prose lytizing society, himself a renegade from the religion he comes to denounce, who signalised himself the other day by the publication of a pamphlet so filthily obscene that it was ordered to be seized and d a s d t r w o y h e o d o b p y e u t s h h e s magistrates t o p f r o N r) V a o g l a v n e r d h a a b m y p t t o h n e , conciliatory announcement that " every Popish priest is a murderer, a cannibal, a liar, and a pick- ALBERT YACHT CLUB. The programme of the Royal Albert Yacht Club Regatta has just been published, and is certainly one of a most r.t., tractive character, considering the recent formation of th e club.

ARISTOCRATIC PIGEON SHOOTING, There was a large assembly of aristocrats, and a far larger number of the general public, at the Welsh Harp, Hendon, on Saturday, the attraction being " The Summer Handicap," Mr. Frank Heathcote being the handicapper. Tho card, on the usual conditions, had 104 entries on it, but only 36 of that number came to the post, the aggregate number cf shooters, however, was 43, as 7 post catered. As usual, Mr. Warner made every necessary arrangement. The afternoon was exceedingly fine and quiet, but the birds were not of the first class. The shooters were :—Mr Berkeley Lucy, Captain Starkey (post entry), Mr Monkton (post entry), Mr Henry Budd, Sir Thomas Hesketh, Bart., M.P., Sir C. Legard, Bart., and Mr C. Hammersley, killed six birds each ; Mr K. Peach, Mr W. St. Julien Arabin, Captain A. L. Ricardo, Mr. Robertson (post entry), Mr Forster (post entry), Mr Ernest C. Nevile (post entry), Mr E. H. Maxwell, Mr. H. J. Shelden, Sir Walter Carew, Bart., Hon. Reginald Capel, and Mr W. Duncombe killed four each ; Mr H. Allgood, Colonel Fellowes, Colonel the Hon. H. Annesley, M.P., Mr. George Johnstone, and Mr. George Thompson killed three each ; Mr. Charles Hambro, Sir Charles Mordaunt, Bart., M.P., Mr. N. Wood, Mr. W. Harrison (post entry), Le Comto de Gondre, and the Hon. Walter Verney (pos entry) killed two each; Captain J. J. W. Fredricks, Mr.t Frederick Norris, Colonel Fraser, Mr. S. Bateson, Sir Henry Pottinger, Bart., Mr. J. Jeo, V.C.C.8., Mr. Clarke Thornhill, Mr. J. Tharp, and the Marquis of Graham only killed one each; Captain Baskervillo, Mona G. Andre, Captain Bland, Captain Arthur Burnand, and Viscount Holmesdale, M.P., did not kill. Of course all did not shoot at six birds. Seven of the competitors having therefore killed all their birds, had to shoot for the prizes. Mr. Berkeley Lucy killed his first, but Mr. Rudd's bird, though hit hard, fell just out of bounds. Sir Thomas Hesketh, Sir Charles Legard, and Mr. Hammersley failed to score; while Captain Starkey and Mr. Monkton, by killing, had to shoot again. At the second attempt they failed, so that Mr. Berkeley Lucy, who killed, became the winner of the first prize. The two "lost entries," after again trying, settled their respective superiority, Captain Starkey by killing his second bird, an example Mr. Monkton failed to follow. THE SCORE roil.

" A rumour that the wife of a duke and the wife of a bishop are about to appear in public as singers," says the Athenaunt, " will probably be enough, in our wonder seeking society, to fill even Exeter-hall with an eager audience. For once the good-natured public will be right in following its instincts. The cause which has won the goodwill of a host of pltrons, and which has decided the Duchess of Newcastle and Mrs. Ellicott to appear in public —the desire to assist with funds tho Home of Relief for Children with Chronic Diseases of the Joints—is worthy of every one's helping band; and oven those of the audi tory who may bo drawn to Exeter-hall on Wednesday, July 3, in order to enjoy-the exhibition of talents which are loudly vaunted in society, will have the satisfaction of knowing that the children of the poor will be benefited by their curiosity."

THE GROUSE INS EASE.—There can be little if any doubt that the grouse disease is still doing its fear ful work of destruction. The pestilence has lately raged amongst the grouse upon moors that up to a very recent period were quite exempt from it. We have no hesitation in saying that this rapid propagation of the malady must be attributed to contagion, for in no other way can we satisfactorily account for its spreading, now that the pre disposing causes which originally produced it are at an end. We have fine weather and an abundance of healthy food. We again advise all gentlemen who are owners of grouse moors to cause the birds that perish to be carefully collected and buried deeply in the earth. It is with sorrow, too, we learn that the malady has commenced to seize with its deadly gripe upon the black game, birds that have hitherto been free from any trace of this pestilence.

Under the heading " Disinfection" the Times remarks that in the paper "Americans and the Cholera," which wo transferred to our columns last week, there occurs a misprint, which, although of only one letter, is one of some importonce.
