Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., T HE GIRAF FE HUNTERS. By CAP FAIN MAINE REID, in the list of English sovereigns would have saved us much. To skip Mr. Gladstone in the list of British premiers might save us something, but it would lose us more. For one thing, in a cmu inercial country, it is a great gain to possess a minis!.er who can wax sincerely eloquent about copper and iron, and who can develope the sacred aspect of docks and shipping, and dwell upon them in such a manner as to make the most callous listener feel himself a better man. The contractor for the docks at Barrow, we must admit, so far forgot himself the other day—fell so far below the noble moral level at which Mr. Gladstone had placed their proceedings—as to mention that he had lost money by his contract. But of course, ever since the time of Canning's Needy Knife-grinder, there have been people who could not forget their own trifling cares for the sake of humanity, or docks, or anything else. It is an immense thing to have an eloquent man who can always repress this mer cenary tendency to look at the mean side of things, and to whom even a dock is something far more transcendent and unutterable than a big hole with some water in it. The contractor, as he unfeelingly put it, was " cut to loss." The two dukes thought of a rise of rent and the value of laud. Mr. Glad stone mounted the tripod, and saw clean through the rather smudgy air of obscure Barrow, and how —in the words of the wearisome Wanderer — Hence is the wide sea peopled —hence the shores Of Britain are resorted to by ships Freighted from every climate of the world With the world's choicest produce. Hence that suns Of keels that rest within her crowded ports, Or ride at anchor in her sounds and bays ; That animating spectacle of sails That through her inland regions to and fro Pass with the respirations of the tide, Perpetual, multitudinous! This is the sum of his song. There is a good deal of similarity between Mr. Gladstone and Wordsworth. It is certain, for example, that, if he were to write a poem, it would be as long as the " Excursion." In other respects possibly, besides diffuseness, he has a measure of Wordsworthian qualities. If he were to stand on Westminster Bridge at sunrise, he would probably be affected as sensibly as the poet was. lie is always ready to have susceptibilities practised upon, either by the Lesser Celandine or anything else. Mr. Disraeli prefers to practise upon the susceptibilities of other people. Unless he does himself an injustice, it would take a good many Celandines and Westminster Bridges to move him to thoughts that lie too deep for tears. The Coroner handed witness a certificate of burial of a child from the above house, in the name of Richard Edward Limber, and asked her to look at it.

The Coroner—Did he deny it ? Witness—Oh, dear no. The Coroner said this was the whole of the evi dence in the case. He then proceeded to sum up the evidence with the greatest minuteness. He animadverted severely on the manner in which the time of the Court had been wasted by the absence of Mr. Butley, under the advice and with the con nivance of his solicitor. F. onizhmans.

GREAT COMIC FESTIVAL SEASON. Mr. Beard protested against the use of the word " connivance." The Coroner proceeded to draw attention to the reckless manner in which Mrs. Butley had given her evidence, both as to the absence of her husband and on the points raised by the documentary evidence which he had produced, as sho apparently swore to anything that was uppermost in her mind. He also referred to the fact that though Mrs. Butley had given as her reason for attempting to conceal the skeleton after its discovery her desire to screen her mother, yet she came into court afterwards and strove to blast that mother's character by inviting the jury to believe that this was her mother's illegi timate offspring, brought to her house with the remainder of her effects. He also adverted to the important fact that Mrs. Butley had been contra dicted on every essential point by nearly every witness ; and the indifference with which she told the jury that she knew nothing of her husband's whereabouts was remarkable. He was gone into the country, she knew not where ; and yet within an hour he was forthcoming. Had he not come he should have considered him wanting in every manly feeling. There were three distinct issues for the jury to consider, and these were—Firstly, the dis• cover) , of the skeleton. On this there could be no doubt. Secondly, the cause of death. On this point the medical evidence was conclusive, for Dr. Wright stated that owing to the length of time which had elapsed and the condition of the remains it was im possible to fix the cause. The third point was whether the jury considered there was any evidence sufficient to convince them as to whose the child was. The struggle seemed to lie as between Mrs. Clarke and Mrs. Butley, and the credibility of the several wit nesses was a most material matter for consideration. lie pointed out that the veracity of Mrs. Butley was very much shaken by her replies to his questions on varkus subjects, and particularly by those in relation to the document he had placed in her hauls, on seeing which her evidence shut up by her declining to answer any more questions. It had not escaped his mind that a young person of attractive appear ance, like Mrs. Batley, might have been tempted, and that she might have been prejudicially operated on by the example of her mother living in open adultery with another man before her eyes, which would be some excuse for any lapse of conduct ou her part. A Juror expressed a desire to know if there was any possible connexion between Mr. Webster and the woman Bransen ; and Mr. Webster having been called stated that he never saw Mrs. Branson till her appearance as a witness in this court. The court was then cleared, and the jury, after a lapse of three-quarters of an hour, returned a verdict —" That the remains were those of a child, the cause of whose death was unknown. That the jurors were of opinion that the child was not that of Mrs. Clarke; and as to whether it was the child of Mrs. Butley, there was not Eufficieut evidence to deter mine."

Mr. Beard, solicitor, again attended on behalf of Mrs. Batley, and Inspector Clements, of the N division, watched the case for the police. Dr. W. R. F. Lane, of Bethnal-green, deposed as follows :—I attended Mrs. Clarke up to her death, and for two months previously. During that period she was not delivered of a child, so far as I had any reason to believe. By Mr. Beard—l saw the daughter about that time. I noticed no indications of pregnancy. Satnuel Hiscock, meat salesman in Newgate market, deposed—l knew Mr. Clarke. Ile was also a salesman in the market. l and my wife visited Mrs. Clarke after her husband's death.

The Coroner observed that it was curious for a married woman to be a bridesmaid, and ordered Mr. Batley to be called, but he did not appear; and the coroner said he would adjourn the inquiry till he did appear. Mr. Beard objected to further adjournments, and also to evidence being taken as to painful and irre levant matters. "Talc of a Hair," 6d. WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.—Corns cured In one day by using* ALEX.

The Coroner replied that he should conduct the inquiry as he pleased, and without regard to what any one might say. There were material questions he had to ask Mr. Butley, and documents he should have to put into his hands. Mr. Beard—Unless they bear on the skeleton which was discovered, I shall advise lihn not to answer. The Coroner—Then I shall commit him. Mr. Beard—And he will try your power and take his chance. The Coroner—There is no doubt about my power. Call Mrs. Butley. Mr. Beard—And I shall advise her not to give the names of his employers. Mrs. Butley was then called in and examined by the Coroner. She said her husband was away. She did not know where. Nor did she know when he would return, or what took him away. He kept his business affairs private. She did not know whether he was in the same employ now as he was a month ago. The Coroner observed that for his own part he would not like to close this inquiry without Mr. Batley. It would not be fair to him. Mr. Beard —Oh ! you need not study his feelings. They have been tried enough already. After a short discussion Mr. Beard agreed to produce :Mr. Butley in an hour, and the Court adjourned for that purpose. At four o'clock the Court reassembled, and William Butley, the husband of Mrs. Butley, was asked by the Coroner if he married her in the name of Eliza Kimbcr. 711 E REMAINS OF THE LATE EMPEROb MAXIMILIAN. A correspondent of the New York. Tribune at Queretaro on the 24th of August states that he visited the remains of Maximilian, and writes that he found the coffin containing the corpse in a room in the second story of the house occupied by Don Munos Ledo. A soldier guarded the door, but any one was admitted, especially if they were willing to pay him a few reals. The apartment bore the ap - pearance of having once been a store room, and was both very dark and extremely filthy. The coffin was in the centre, resting upon two rude wooden benches. It was covered with black cloth and adorned with a cheap qualicy of gold lace, while the top had a false cover, the opening of which re vealed three glasses, through which the last re mains of the ill-fated Emperor were dimly visible . Ile was dressed in a blue coat with military but - tons, dark blue pantaloons and heavy cavalry boots. His hands were covered with a pair of soiled white gloves. His mouth and eyes were partially open, revealing his teeth and the colour of his eyes, and his beard was quite gone, having with the greater part of his hair been cut off, it is said, by Dr. Lisso, who had charge of the embalming, who sold it, receiving as high as five ounces, $BO, for very small locks. This same man, the correspondent adds, had the Emperor's body for some time at his house, using it as a means of speculation, and selling pieces of his garments and his personal effects for large prices. The correspondent also states, but for this he will not vouch, that there is a report that Lisso removed a small portion of the skull, which he sold, replacing it with wood. The body of the Emperor was in a good state of preservation, as far as outward appearance showed. Witness—l cannot answer that question. Her Christian name is Eliza. I have never read Mrs. Clarke's will, nor a copy of it, nor heard it read. The Coroner—Have you reason to believe that in her mother's will she is described as Eliza Kimber ? Witness—Nane whatever. I did not know Mr. Kimber. I have never seen him. I never knew my wife to pass under the name of Mrs. Kimber. I knew her first as Emma Clarke. The first child by our marriage was born in 1866 at Clapham. We were then living at Dagmar-road. I moved my wife to Clapham because her confinement came earlier than was expected, and we were not quite prepared for it. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Beard ad vised his client not to answer any further ques tions on this point. The Coroner—The jury will draw their own in ferience if he does not. Witness—My wife's mother came to live with us about a fortnight before her death. The Coroner—About that time was your wife delivered of a child? Witness —Certainly not. I had no conversation with any one about her being in the family-way. Then was a box under her dressing-table. I d o not know what was kept in it. I never opened it. The Coroner—You remember a fowl you had at your house about the time of Mrs. Clarke's death. Witness—Yes. I had half a dozen. One was not kept in the cellar. By Mr. Beard—There was a fowl kept in the cellara few days before the discovery of this skeleton. I had it put there because the others fought it. My wife, as far as my knowlege goes,was not preg nant at the time of Mrs. Clarke's death. The child I referred to as born in April, 1866, was born about the middle of the month ; I think the 19th. My wife has told me she was insulted by a man named Webster. By the Coroner—My wife, as far as I know, has JUDICIAL TORTURE IN INDIA.— Recently some natives of British Cochin, who were wanted as witnesses in a legal case in the state of his Highness the Maharajah of Travancore, declared to the British magistrate that they would rather cut their own throats than expose themselves to the risk of being tortured by the judges of the native court.

RAILWAY INfELLIGEkIC E. ALYTH. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at Myth ; Mr. Kinloch in the chair. The report stated that there was again an excess of revenue over expenditure. It amounted for the past half year to £315. The traffic receipts during the half year amounted to £1,178 and the expenses to £649 ; the interest on feu-duty, &e., amounted to £283, leaving a balance of £246. The capital account showed that £42,632 had been expended. The CHAIRMAN said there were several claims on which the company paid at the rate of £lOO per annum, and in the course of some time those claims would be cleared off altogether. Their suspense account amounted some time ago to £9OO, but now it was reduced to £367. The traffic was increasing, and no doubt would continuo to do so. It was a prudent course not to pay a dividend until the end of another half year, when they would probably be able to pay a dividend of 2 per cent. on the ordi nary stock and 5 per cent. on the preference stock. He then moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Sir G. RAMSAY, and carried una nimously. SPORTING INTEL LIGS'NOE. Letting-7 to 4on Jura.

Within the last few days the leaders of the two great traditional parties who now serve under the Radical junto have been doing emblematic things in a typical manner. Mr. Disraeli has assisted at a harvest feast, and Mr. G:adstone has helped to open a dock. The one expatiated with genial ignorance upon the brightness of the barley and the plentiful ingathering of the oats ; while the other was deeply moved and awfully impressive about iron and coal, and the moral significance of big docks. The Opposition leader spoke and felt at the foundation of Barrow-in-Furness as the pious .zEneas may have done when he came to Lavinium ; there was no miraculous sow with 30 young ones, it is true, but there were the Duke of Devonshire and the Marquis of Hartington. Anyhow, his soul was inflamed with prophetic fire, and his lips touched with a sacred unction. The Minister chatted like a good humoured farmer over a pot of ale at the market town. Mr. Gladstone was penetrated as usual with the high and holy profundity of all things, from copper and cotton up to flesh and blood and his fellow-Christians. He dwelt in his very best funereal manner " upon the appearances of comfort, and upon the good and sound arrangements apparently made for the health and advantage of the population, showing that amid the pursuit of wealth those high and sacred purposes have not been forgotten." Mr. Disraeli, ou the other hand, did not seem to know or to care much about high and sacred purposes. What he does know is that the Buckinghamshire peasant loves three things—a porch, an oven, and a tank; and, so far as Mr. Disraeli can do anything for him, a porch, an oven, and a tank he shall have. There is something quite characteristic in this difference between calling a tank a tank, and calling it a sacred purpose. It is because Mr. Disraeli knows men that he is where he is, at the very top of the political tree, while his rival is croaking horribly against him on the lower branches. He knows that in Buckinghamshire the smiling yokels like preachments very well in their proper place, but that elsewhere they dislike them exceedingly, while they are intensely charmed to think that their great politician knows what it is to have a tank or an oven of your own. Mr. Gladstone has less discern ment. He never loses the fervour of a very young and devout curate in his first parish. He is always ready for an exhortation. No occasion is too small to be improved. We can never deplore enough that it was not he, instead of Mr. Disraeli, who first revealed to mankind the expediency of crossing a Southdown with a Cotswold. What, in the hands of the one, was a mere process of sheep-breeding, would have assumed with the other nothing less than the solemnity of a great religious observance. We laughed at the one ; we should not have escaped from the other without a wonderful deepening of moral conviction. A mere agricultural innovation with Mr. Disraeli would certainly have been satu rated with ethical or theological meaning by Mr. Gladstone. And can we not imagine the disdain with which the statesman who is chafing in the cold shade would read his sunny rival's easy assurance that he is not "up to politics" in September ? As if there were any moment in life in which a man ought not to be up to that great and difficult art in which the happiness and advancement of so many millions of fellow-creatures are wrapped up ; as if the accident of a month which the fri volous make a holiday could justify a Chancellor of the Excheque r i n d ec li n i ng t o preac h t o his neighbours little moral and political sermons. Still, for all this, Mr. Disraeli makes very pleasant and seasonable September reading. If this were a less sceptical age, and metempsy chosis were in fashion, one might almost believe that the soul of the late Lord Palmerston had passed into Mr. Disraeli. In the management of the House of Commons the Chancellor of the Exchequer has shown that he can bend the bow of the departed veteran, who knew the ways of many men and many cities, with no unequal skill. The mantle of the departed chief sits pretty easily on the shoulders of his adroit successor. They are much of a figure. Out of the house, too, there is a resemblance. Mr. Disraeli at Hughenden and Lord Palmerston at a Romney ploughing-match come to pretty nearly the same thing. The proceedings at Hughenden the other day suggest dreadful thoughts. Is it possible that we have just entered, in spite of Reform Bills and Trades' Unions and Fenians, upon a second Palmerstonian epoch ? that we have to look forward to a long gloomy era of joking and cajoling, of all things being made pleasant to all men, of no things being done for any man ? that in the Ses sion we are to be exasperated by a clever imitation of activity, and in the vacation to be amused by clever imitations of jocularity ? Is all this pos sible ? We are sure that, if it is, Mr. Disraeli is competent to realise it. First of all, he enjoys strategy of any sort, and has an inborn gift for imitation. Imitation comes easier to him than nature. It allows a greater freedom of play for the wonderful variety of his acquired capacities. His repertory is perhaps the most extensive of any statesman's in Europe. He can play the philo sopher, generalising on history or human life, in a way which might and does take in philosophers by profession. As the playful or biting epigrammatist he is matchless. As theologian ho once persuaded a whole crowd of Oxford parsons and tutors, and particularly undergraduates, that he had for ever extinguished the theological pretensions of a Coleus°, a Jowett, a Maurice, a Stanley, to say nothing of the scientific pretensions of a Darwin. As practical farmer, nobody would ever find out that he does not know all about turnips and wurzel, about sheep and wool, and barley and oats, about porches and tanks. And, most marvellous of all, he has shown that he can beat Mr. Gladstone on his own funereal ground. He infused a truer pathos and a higher solemnity into the twenty lines he spoke about Mr. Cobden than Mr. Gladstone ever reached in the House or out of it. There is no limit to this as tounding versatility. Perhaps a worse thing than Palmerstonism would befall us if Mr. Disraeli took very seriously to politics. Suppose he were to become earnest about them. In the eventful session which is just over there was some reason for sus pecting that he had allowed himself to grow really earnest about Reform. And we know what he has done, and what portentous difficulties he van quished. Somebody said of the thrice immortal Wilkes that if he had only had a good character, and George 111. a bad one, Wilkes would have , driven the King out of the country. Most likely he would, and the kingdom would not have been much the worse if he had driven both him and his eldest son out. Some future historian may say in like manner, if Mr. Disraeli had had a good charac ter to fall back upon, he would have driven his rival still deeper into the shade than he is now. In this case the kingdom would decidedly be a good deal the worse. To have skipped George IV. BEDFORD RACES-THURSDAY.
